Haha... No, my name is not Jesus and I'm nowhere near the class of rider as BW. On my best day he'd lap me 25+ times in an hour on the track. That race... A little under CP for 6 hours on a wind tunnel optimised TT set up (CdA <<0.24) in nearly ideal conditions... And... I've been doing a fair bit more than a couple of random rides per month and dreaming about riding nice gear. |

Re: The Cycling Thread
It's in an old church. Maybe I can pray to the Lord above to improve.

Re: The Cycling Thread
SRAM red etap update - it's awesome. Absolutely no doubt about it. The shifts are so simple and easy I can't believe how I ever managed before!

Re: The Cycling Thread
Same I felt about my first carbon bike, that was a revelation.
I also felt the same about Di2

Re: The Cycling Thread
Di2, who needs Di2?
Says the man that's chuffed because he just bought these bad boys at Evans with pricematch. Gotta say that changing a brake cable is getting a tad expensive

Re: The Cycling Thread
I need to stop this nonsense. I was trying to figure out if I could afford a bike I'd seen in the Evans sale. I took a step away before I did something stupid.

Re: The Cycling Thread
The only sad thing about it is because I no longer have any cables running into the downtube, I have two I filled holes and I can't seem to find grommets or the like anywhere.
