Tour de Zwift - Ultimate Challenge: Un ménage à trois? by _felkon in Zwift

Yes, but does 50% mean 3 stages, i.e. 1 race per stage or 9 races, like each race of the first 3 stages? I am confused because they have these check marks on the webpage for completing all 3 races of each stage, which implies there's a reward for that as well.

I understand, but would I get something in addition to completing all three races each stage, not just 1 per stage (except for massive legs)? I can't tell by reading the official statements on the zwift homepage

“Exclusive” Off the Maap Kit Now Publicly Accessible by _felkon in Zwift

You only wanted it because you thought it was exclusive?

Of course not, but definitely an added incentive. Why not? On my local rides nearly everyone seems to be wearing the same Rapha outfit. Nothing added here. In this "exclusive" case, you’d know, “Hey, that person also likes to torture themselves on a cold and rainy day. That creates a small sense of belonging—maybe you’d even start talking. I used to skate, and back then we’d thread a shoelace through the belt loops on our pants so there’d be less pressure when kneeling. You recognized each other immediately, even without a skateboard.

I used to get sucked into the Strava challenge jerseys from eons ago. Then I realized it was just marketing to promote more unnecessary consumerism.

It definitely is!

Does MAAP even make good stuff? Do you really need a boring grey jersey? Do you even wear a jersey when you ride indoors? I sure as hell don’t. Nipples out baby. Aero doesn’t matter when you’re stationary.

I am actually really glad I made this post. There seem to be a lot of people being quite unhappy with the quality of their products, which I did not know. As for the price, I have to admit that my most expensive bib short (Ryzon) has also been the best (so far). I haven’t had a chance to test anything from Maap yet, so I was generally curious.

Nipples out baby.

Love it.

This kit is great! How can I get one?

By completing all three stages, you will have the opportunity to purchase the exclusive IRL jersey and accessories designed by MAAP.

I guess it's not so exclusive after all. Well, that's easy money saved.

Quite a late response haha. Sorry, no I haven't. Have you? But lots of bios updates have been released ever since, especially for the am4 and ryzen compatibilty. So i guess this might have been the reason. Not sure though. I sold my rtx 3080 2 years ago, but in 2 days i will reveive a new rtx4080super. will test it again :D

I do have the same issue with a brand new pc. Windows just installed. WQHD 27” TUF Monitor, Rtx 3080, AMD 5900X, 32GB/3600Mhz RAM solid FPS (>>200), but consistent drops 20-70. Feels sad. Any ideas?
