blind spot

#wrysmile

Called it... ish.

I'd love to get my fully loaded Tripster tested to see how much I'm giving away :)

Been there done that.
I'll take the few watts aero hit versus losing a day when valve extenders fail.

32h, but yeah, I won't be using deep rims on ultras again nor will I be using cheap Chinese carbon rims again. Works well as tubeless... pity I have no bike to use it on though.

Don't know about unsupported for this, but there's lots of places you could leave stuff. H&C seems like good idea as many people there.

Depends on your saddle. I have about three different saddle bottle mounts. One specific to Adamo's tail.

I also have maybe 4-5 different bento boxes and 'the best' is also dependent on type of bike and what's going in it. What bike do you have? How much do you plan on carrying in it?

PRO mount with Xlab cages. If you have weak arms though...

That's what Ishmael did when he came 3rd in the Nat 24hr unsupported. He had 4 bottles on his bike at once I think.

I've not lost or dropped a single bottle since my first Nat 24 when I had SIS 750ml bottles in Profile holder. I use an Elite cage and either PRO with random cage or my Adamo-specific Xlab saddle cage. Maybe you're just clumsy :P

I've got one of those XLab top tube bags. Doesn't hold as much as some of my others but it's sleek and I also use the Shiv-specific frame box thingie to hold phone and gels.

You're supposed to get lap splits off nearby competitors and make them go faster. Ask my missus or @scherrit they're the two best in the business. I drive them to the brink though...

It's this Trek from @mustard
I've ordered an x lab and a couple of zipp top tyube bags to see which works best. I also ordered this as a rear bottle solution. I have an ISM PL1.0 and I think it should fit, we will see.

You're so dense that you smooth out the bumps

and ride downhill everywhere...

When is it? Most of my stuff will probably be unused for next couple of months. Something might work.

It's on the 17th June. If you are willing to loan a few bits, that would be great. Not currently planning on making 12s a regular thing so a lot of stuff I buy will go into a box somewhere once I'm done.

Yeah, I was racing at least a 12 and a 24 each year for a few years so I've gone through lots of iterations. I didn't buy it all for one event :)

I'll be overseas so definitely won't be using it.

TONIGHT

Anyone after an ISM PN 1.1 before I sell it elsewhere? £50 collected or posted at cost. Very good condition. Used for one 25 outside, few small marks but no scuffs.

Is hippy back yet?

Only 2 of us riding fixed tonight. Despite the weather it wasn't full up so should be space next week. Apparently there's also gonna be 40 spaces available first-come, first-served online.

Thanks for posting about the Tuesday Tens.

Yes, we going to have more on line entries available next week . Do let us know what you think of the series.

Just posting this here because I dont know anyone IRL who would appreciate it, I stayed with a couple last week that rode with and knew Beryl Burton quite well. The husband had one of her old TI Raleighs in the shed set up on the turbo. Was properly geeking out about some of their stories.

Has TT rider ordering changed while I've not been paying attention?

I'm 70 in the Norlond 50 this Sunday. I expected that my LTS would be more likely to have me on a 4 or a 9 than an 0.

May have been seeded slowest to fastest? Some organisers do that.
