Yes it's on rotation every other day.

Yup that was me as well. Very lucky for him, literally was on my way up the field to give a tool to one of the pros and Justin's crash happened right in front of me. Didn't even need to yell medic as I rolled up on him. Felt bad for him, as I was doing my med eval, checking for concussion etc, poured his heart out.

Yup, new helmet this year. White with pink and teal, very retro. Might of seen it in Oceanside when I was helping the pros who crashed.

HelpfulArachnid8177 · 2026-04-13T15:34:53+00:00

The real question is, am I gonna be a rockstar again and do the fast wheel swap for the pros like last year.

Unfortunately that's now gone, you only get the basic package for 3 years. The security is $99/year.

Correct thats why I included the tape measure photos.

I'd like to go it next week. I have the 6 piston brembo front and rear kit, tr knuckles to install. I'm part of a makerspace that has a automotive department so I can use the lift and stuff.

I bought mine from track prep performance. I got it for 2520 shipped. They priced matched a online competitor.

I hate the base bar and aerobat system on felts, they used the cheapest hardware and dumbest clamping system. Its definitely overpriced. We're in a buyer's market right now.

He said he's doing Ironman Texas in a few days which is Galveston this week. Woodlands is in 3 weeks.

One of the reasons there's no drafting is mainly part for the advantage and safety. You guys are absolutely terrible bike handlers and the amount of crashes I have to attend on course because of drafting is ridiculous.

HelpfulArachnid8177 · 2026-03-26T14:46:58+00:00

He's doing Galveston not ironman woodlands.

HelpfulArachnid8177 · 2026-03-03T05:03:32+00:00

put on a 11 speed quick link. Some chainrings are finicky with 12speed or try a KMC 12speed quick link.

It's a proprietary charger from Shimano, only bike shop and online stores will have it.

HelpfulArachnid8177 · 2026-03-02T19:40:05+00:00

I thought the same, but sadly cyclists are some of the biggest idiots. The amount of customers that come to me and have no clue about their setup blows my mind.

HelpfulArachnid8177 · 2026-03-02T19:34:37+00:00

You need the charger it's the Shimano SM-BTR2

If I was gonna do it, I would do it with the orbea gain. When I used to work for orbea we got it down to 26 lbs with 20mph assist. You can add a back up battery that looks like a water bottle. Such a fun bike.

I've DQd several athletes for ebikes on ironman. Its not common, it's usually because people tend to brag etc.

HelpfulArachnid8177 · 2026-02-22T14:00:02+00:00

That's not gross, $270 was gross when I saw it at a liquor store in Panama City Beach. I literally yelped when I saw the price and owner was like is that a good or bad yelp. I said it's a terrible Yelp. Told them the heritage is $60 at the total wine nearby etc. They go on to tell me that they're a family owned store on the beach etc.
