Vetplant Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 GeniusMy idea isn't THAT novel, have seen similar branded magnets used by other riders, but these generic magnets should be sufficient and much cheaper. Long Wheel Base 1
SoloCyclist Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 For the veterans of the cycle tour, has the expo always being so boring ? I was hoping to see amazing deals....fantastic new bikes on display I was hoping to buy new shoes but there was nothing decent available or on sale  Sent from my SM-A605F using Tapatalk
Andrew_Smith Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) The Expo was meh... Being my first time, I expected new tech and bikes. Fair enough, who will buy a new bike before the race? Prices were okay, not mind-blowing at all. Bought some gels from GU.I did enjoy the free smoothie by cycling the smoothie bike for the 30s.

Mamil Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 The expo could be fantastic if it weren't at the stadium. That ghastly flourescent light, the sense of being underground, the cacophony of so much noise in too confined a space means that being there is unpleasant. I was there early, visited my bikefit guru at his stand to take care of a bad case of cleat paranoioa and possibly psychosomatic knee problem, bought 2 bibs on special cos i knew what i wanted and where it was and was back in the bike parking area trying to remember what I'd done with my sticker without being too traumatised. As I say it's not too bad the expo but could be so much better.

Thomo Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 For the veterans of the cycle tour, has the expo always being so boring ?  Never thought I'd say this, but bring back the Good Hope Centre. LOLWe were all excited when we first heard about the move from there, but this hasn't delivered on expectation. Traffic getting there @ 5pm this eve killed my spirit, and unfortunately the expo had little to resurrect it.The congested, market style setup of the stands just isn't very pleasant imo. On a positive note, wind seems to be settling down.

Wayne pudding Mol Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Very bad news for me, I'll be sitting out this year.Had a nasty crash last weekend and broke part of my scapula. Already had surgery to put it together, but no riding for 8 weeks. I've decided to not get depressed about it because it was close enough that both D and I are happy that we are around at all, thanks to a very sharp driver who managed to swerve incredibly quickly to avoid us as we fell in front of him. D is ok and will still ride come Sunday as part of a reduced team DJR. Both bikes are fine but Red Riding Hood needs some tlc and D needs a new saddle.At least in the grand scheme of things you’re ok and there’s another ctct in 2020 - heal up soon LeoKnight and DJR 2
