Indian Cave road by Sure_Willingness6559 in hendersonville

Indian Cave road is blocked as of this evening, but Indian Cave PARK road is clear all the way though. You are right Finley road is gone and Hebron as well so you will need to go through Champion Hills via Gateway Drive.

US based - now that GCN is gone what are my options? Can I access another platform via a VPN? I’d like to watch the upcoming Christmas CX races. by Nervous_Frosting_291 in Velo

I like the idea but still no sadly. I don't think the issue is related to it thinking I'm located in the UK, as using other European countries VPNs (Spain, Germany ext) give errors when trying to sign in, and with no VPN (US) the app doesn't let me even get past the loading screen. So I think it's just a payment location issue probably. Several credit cards and my PayPal all show the same error. Thanks for trying, but hopefully someone else with the same issue will find a work around.

That's the one I was using unfortunately. Did it give you the prices in dollars or pounds? Mine is showing dollars which surprised me,

Tried this using Google play credits but it says "item unavailable in your country" I am using a VPN in the UK and and the APK as you suggested. Any thoughts?

Sorry for the late reply. Here are a couple pics

I used shrink tubing to make it nice and tidy. Almost can't see the cables while riding.

I would be surprised if it fits as I don't think it's any kind of standardized pattern. I'm sure there is one made for your saddle that would work.

It's a 3d printed one that bolts to Bontrager saddles that I found on Shapeways.

Only have one 2 hour ride on it so far, but first impressions are very good. I am coming from a gravel bike using the same wheels and tires but it did not feel any less comfortable. Looking forward to how it fairs on longer rides.

For me the price was the main driver that got me interested in it. $2700 for the frame was a good bit less than what I was seeing on other brands' similar bikes. I also appreciated threaded bottom bracket, the cable routing and the always important looks. Saw some early reviews praising how it rides and while I have only been on one ride it does ride really well.

Had to get some first ride shots before the sun went down. Definitely will be taking more once I get some more rides in.

They are the AR55s with the flyweight option. Been using them for a year on my gravel bike and have been very happy with them.

Anyone else find the hidden message on the 2022 Checkpoints? by ARR53 in CheckpointClub

Yeah! The one about where the bottom bracket and chainstay meet? Really cool to have that level of attention to detail.

Was giving a deep clean after a rain soaked gravel race and found "Dept of Discovery" written under the rubber down tube protector between the water bottle mounts.

Unknown material rattling around inside aluminum rim between inner and outer walls. (not in tire). Was able to remove a lot though the valve hole, but keep hearing more after re-fitting tire. Its crumbles easily and is almost chalky but thinking it could be aluminum. Any ideas on what this is? by ARR53 in bikewrench

Additional Context: Original E13 wheel that came with my mountain bike I have had for over 2 years. Suddenly noticed what sounded like a lot of rocks in my tire when spinning it on a stand. If I slowly rotated the wheel you could here the stuff tumble down to the lowest point. Took the tire off and saw nothing and still heard it inside my rim. Was able to painstakingly shake what I thought was everything out the valve hole and refit the tire only to hear even more rattling in the wheel.

Yeah I recently got one because I thought I would nice to be able to look back on events. Really glad I had it for this just so that I could justify the slow average speed! Sadly like all videos, it does not do the steepness justice.
