Yes obviously both reckon that dynamo is the way to go, but I was answering the question about batteries usage.. "not practical, but could be done if something happens"

"compact wall charger" ? Like a folding power plug sort of thing?

Was thinking of something like this one https://vine.co/v/ea3rZ0bDjI1 but euro or usa compatible.

Is there anywhere cheaper?

PowerPod $299 = 275€ = £203. Nice review at dcrainmaker

TransAm record is 17.5 days - you think battery lights are practical for that duration?

Definitely not practical, but could be done... remember this year TransAm #1 Jesse Carlssons did most of it without the dynamo: 'Sinewave Reactor died in the heat earlier on'. Also this year TCR #1 Josh Ibbett didn't use a dynamo ...

I think the best approach is dynamo hub + usb charger (sinewave revolution) + small battery pack as backup + compact wall charger (if usb-charger or dynamo is in that rare percentage of material failure). I'll try this soon.

Those four bolts fit perfectly in the bidon cages holes :). The TRP Spyre's came and they got their own bolts so... I'm covered, maybe your brake calipers got their own bolts in the box?

I'm getting more parts these week :D, soon will update the post, thanks! I hope to see yours soon to :)

Oh and does it strike anyone else as a bit mean for a £650 frameset not to come with bolts >for the bottle cage and rack braze-ons?

Mine came with them, you can see the 4 of them top left of this inner-parts-box picture:

Did you got some Di2 blanking grommets/plugs? I didn't get them, and emailed bruce@upgradebikes.co.uk about still waiting for a response.. Try your luck asking him about those screws.

I've bought a frame that can be used with electronic shifting, but I'll not use that feature.

Do you know any online shop that sells the blanking grommets/plugs for the 6mm holes (seat tube and right chainstay)?? I've been trying to find any kind of info, and also emailed Kinesis but still no response.

Thank you so much for remarking that problem, I wasn't aware of it. Luckily I haven't cut my fork yet. When will there be another stem cap batch? I'm in

I'm done

I'm interested in it but also worried my legs will rub it constantly even not full loaded, 6cm of width seems like too much in my tests on the rollers

Really looking forward for that Edge 1000 testing! Meanwhile I'll try the TwoNav Ultra, although Carlos told me he's still struggling to get a correct TBT navigation with the Anima+

That really worries me :( I've never ridden more than 200k with it, and now I fear my 810 will behave that bad too...

I've asked my local long distance community for their experience, some used the 810 on the 2013 MGM (http://www.strava.com/activities/76987571) and got problems on the final km... their advice is to break the route file you're following into 3 or 4 files, and also start with the device clean of training records. Maybe you tried to follow a big route file the times you got the freezing problems?

The fastest rider of the PBP apparently had no problems with the Edge 1000: https://www.strava.com/activities/372806960

I can't find any info or experiences using a Bryton or TwoNav for long distances...

Maybe the solution is to downgrade to a unit without maps and the TBT functionality that seems to be the main problem (Edge 500 / 520) and just load a route with handmade waypoints for each complicated turn (that will also serve to study the course). I've used an Edge 305 for almost 7 years without an issue (apart from battery degradation), but sometimes a tight 'Y' type intersection was hard to take without error while going fast or offroad

Wich Garmin models fail you so often? :( I've the Edge 810 for about a year and it turned off itself twice before hitting 40 ºC (104 ºF). The Bryton and TwoNav seem like great alternatives but still hasn't read about anyone audaxing with them (Carlos Mazon is using a brand new TwoNav Anima+, but still for training rides)

Thats my fear #3 with my Edge 810, really considering trying a TwoNav or good old Edge 500. (#1 is indigestion, #2 is injury)

Also add more wheels! Be ambitious

WoW! Thats a really great piece of...

Great! Hope you can finish the build soon :). I'm still stuck at ordering parts... :(

Germany-Spain in 5 days, although it took about the same for them to make the shipment

They replied today :). Anyway my questions where already answered.

@Smallfurry has commented about his experience riding Dovals, Rotors and Osymetrics in the Non Circular Chainrings thread. With the power2max I got for free a set of Praxis Works 52/36 chainrings (round) just in case the Dovals don't suit me well.

About the wheels, road.cc just released an article about tubeless options (if thats what you're looking for) I have to do some extra research to find a all the options for tubeless, 28 or 32 spokes with 3 crosses and non-carbon.

If you get mad waiting... my other frameset candidates where:

• Condor Fratello Disc (a bit heavier, without internal cable routing, but lovely Columbus Spirit tubing :D and classic look)
  
• Mason Definition (still doesn't have the 62cm size available, the most expensive but also best looking)
  

Apidura saddle pack full of these:

I've still not used them, but as far as I know, that 18-16º angle represents the point where your power production should be higher, and the dead spot should be then correctly located in the narrowest diameter of the chainring. So they offer you 5 positions to "find it" (or get near to it) in the outer ring, and 2 in the inner ring.

What I mean, is that the dead spot is not supposed to be at the 12 o'clock always, it depends of the position of the saddle in regard to the bottom bracket (think about a Time Trial bike and a normal road bike... saddle is way more forward in the TT).

Anyway... all my knowledge is based on internet reading :), don't take it as a fact.

All the technical info is in some images at the official ebay sale page: http://www.ebay.com/itm/131661544771

The 5 positions seems to offer an option to adjust them in regard to your own dead spot (like Rotor has the OCD adjusting system)

No, first time with Doval's. Talked a lot with @CarlosBI about them after reading his article where I discovered that brand

The @kinesisuk guys seems like on permanent vacation: still no response to my 3 week old email... Hope they resupply early! Do you have already the groupset, wheels and parts?

Just got the Doval Chainrings: 52/36, 110BCD, 16% ovality, 180gr from biziosona.com

Also the Power2Max Type S with FSA Gossamer cranks, 110BCD, 175mm

All just "presented" (I know there's 2 bolts missing and the letters upside down :D)

Just got this on the mailbox, the build continues, more on the Non Circular Chainrings thread

Just got the Doval's, 110BCD, 52/36 and 16% of ovality. About 180gr for the 3 pieces. I hope I'll test them in the holidays
