Ooohhh!!! What a colour!! Love it!

Oh nice that’s lovely, that blue is great!! Yeah I just not a fan of SRAM brakes anyway never had a set I can rely on.

Enjoy the bike mate!!

The outlet is alway worth a look. My favourite mug comes from here! 😂 But our plates which we’ve had years and years were outlet “seconds”

Oh wow!!!!!That Shand is lush!

What set up you running? I’d like to run GRX levers with XT would that work do you think?

This is mine XL Evo 158, it’s a great bike very very quick and just seems to float through stuff, takes a bit of getting used to with the geo but does corner like it’s on rails. I’m in Cumbria if it wasn’t for the ‘Rona you could have had a look if you e not seen one in the flesh.

I’d be more concerned with a stamina than the Evo link, but their CS is bad and Leo isn’t much help hence the two Pole groups on FB. Depends on what important really Cotic isn’t as radical on the geo, but you know their going to look after you!

I’m thinking of going the other way I fancy a hard tail I’ve gone all bike packy! I think it’s all the working from home LoL.

@Daffy Ah now that’s good to know mate! Nice one!

I honestly don’t know mate. I’m guessing it could be to do with the “servo wave” set up on the levers but I might be talking rubbish!! But GRX RX815 Di2 GRX RX817 Di2 are listed as not currently compatible.

If they are Di2 levers hopes won’t work just a heads up.

🤣 that’s great!!

Damn. Sad news.

Try looking at Grizzly Munro Diary on YouTube FB Insta, he (Sean Green) might have done it already?

I think the issue here is the course is still a big unknown. It’s it Keilder gravel or MTB lite gravel! Do you give up grip for speed on the road or vice versa…..that’s not helped….has it…

Eh Gravel Kings seem to be the go to tyre for many as an all rounder!

I fancy a HT to bike pack. I looked the look of the Smokestone Mr Harry or a Shand Bahookie with the carbon fork.

Both currently dreams however! :)

I e got a 5.1. Leave the single seat out and the bike(s) go in the open seatless side as there’s a huge dog crate on the other side.

Honestly you sound like the perfect hone for that pup.

Pet plan for us. On the for life programme they’ve been great pay the vet directly and have paid out no problem. Our limit per condition is £12k a year with £100 excess on first claim. Highly recommend them.

Nice one cheers all. I’ll see what the girl can take! Seems daft that GRX only do 160mm. Hope don’t do a suitable calaper 😕

Looking forward to this, kids loved it and it was a nice Friday night family thing!

Yeah, I’ve pinned it down to the valves. Cheers fellas.

Gone with the peaty valves as they’ve got a meatier collar and rubber grommet to aid sealing the Stans valves even with ptfe wouldn’t seal reliably

Sorry walking the dogs!

Seems to be around the head, (I’ve reseated it) and the valve which I’ve just nipped up now.

Tape I’ve tried Stans, And the Tesla take from Ebay (both wired five before) now a new stuff from the LBS.

Interested to see how he gets on.

Pole Evo link?

We had rats a couple of years ago, old house full of holes farm next door, so it’s going to happen. I went full on with plumbers wire wool and expanding foam after one ate through the water pipe, ate the plastic and then nicked the copper pipe inside, had to rip out a section of the wall to get at it. 🤨
It’s not neat but if it’s hidden I have found it’s really really effective. I packed it tight then foamed it in place.

I then got a Rat man in who wiped the Little gits out with “rat pasta” 😂!!

Great video. I like his stuff and his videos. Amazing rider too!

I always loved these!

Look at the Pole Evolink. Long reach and low stand over. Really fun bike.

I love my Timber Bells! Both Christmas presents! 😊😊😊

Some good points here thank you! It’s a great training or entertainment tool at the moment been enjoying the training programmes! I think being able to see the W/Kg just got me thinking what was normal what was above that. Previously W/kg was just so thing I read about with relation to the pros the infamous 7w/kg for the tour etc. There just seemed to be a lot of people chucking out 4-5w/kg on a regular basis. It’s all a fun activity I’m only interested in getting fitter and hopefully will be able to ride further faster etc. I was just interested to see so many able to push what I assumed would be a high output.

Yeah sorry not very clear! I think I was looking to give the benefit of the doubt that people’s quoted FTP, and or w/kg are higher in zwift than in the real world due to the programming as opposed to anything else.

Done!

What’s the thinking on a vaccine? I can’t see it being realistic to maintain this level of lock down until one can be developed and proven safe and effective.

Legend!! 😂😂😂

Nice one mate!!

I loved it. Really really intresting programme.

Salsa are hideously expensive, stunning bikes but my goodness!

S-Works have always been top end cash but once you start to look at the top tier Road frame only builds over 10k is easy to do!!
