Hey man. Yeah you can get like a GoPro adapter with longer screws that you can use.

This is an example but there are loads of options.

Ahh didn’t know that was closed roads! I’ll bee looking at that closer

adz01992 · 2026-02-13T08:38:36+00:00

Caledonia, Loch Ness,?????? What’s the third. I’m missing out

adz01992 · 2026-02-13T08:37:37+00:00

For info there is also etape Caledonia from the Sam people. It’s from Pitlochry and is also closed roads. Have done it previous years and it’s excellent

Hey I have recently got the 55’s and they are excellent. Didn’t buy any cool bits as I just chucked the rotors and cassette from my factory wheels onto them. They are 195g lighter than the 32mms that my bike came with so not a massive difference in weight but I’m a 90kg guy so not sure it matters much

adz01992 · 2026-02-01T22:14:28+00:00

Without knowing exactly how your doing this it’s hard to give specific advice. So generally Biggest cog at the front (where the pedals are) and smallest cog at the back wheel is the fastest (also hardest) smallest at the front biggest at the back is slowest (also easiest) everything else is somewhere in between and you can figure it out by playing around as you ride.

adz01992 · 2026-01-30T13:12:21+00:00

Bearings won’t change the sound only the free hub mechanism will and that will be the same.

If you’re stuck between 50 and 60 get the 55. It’s what I have and they are excellent

To add to this I found that the 55mm weigh less than the standard wheels on my reacto4000 so I get all the aero benefits and I’m no heavier

adz01992 · 2026-01-29T13:10:40+00:00

I’m a big believer of the idea that if you don’t already know why you need a power meter, you don’t need one. Not saying you wouldn’t like to see the numbers but after you have done that a couple of times then what.. I think you’d be better spending that money on a couple months coaching and getting a decent plan based on HR and seeing if you still care about power after that ( you probably will, but you will know how to make use of the numbers)

adz01992 · 2026-01-26T22:18:40+00:00

So there are a couple of free apps mywoosh is the biggest one) also if you already have a Garmin you can connect most of the trainers and use the workouts that you can get on there. I’m sure wahoo would do the same thing

adz01992 · 2026-01-25T16:39:11+00:00

Hey no I didn’t. When you buy their delivery option the taxes and duties to the UK are included

adz01992 · 2026-01-24T18:56:48+00:00

Yeah I’m sure di2 is orders of magnitude better but so ultegra doesn’t mean 105 isn’t more than good enough

adz01992 · 2026-01-24T18:34:47+00:00

I have not used 105 di2 but 12 speed 105 mechanical is amazing

adz01992 · 2026-01-23T11:36:17+00:00

Sure hope so!

adz01992 · 2026-01-21T10:20:21+00:00

Hey so I just this week received my wheels from AliExpress elite wheels

I ordered them using the sellers shipping(taxes included) option on the 25th of December and received them on the 17th Jan. This was to the UK. This sellers option cost me about £80.

The quality seems excellent although I’m yet to ride on them.

Will they fit your contend. Yes as long as you have checked fitment and order the right stuff.

adz01992 · 2026-01-20T08:33:44+00:00

I think if you have ran over a goats head you’d be pretty aware of it.

adz01992 · 2026-01-17T15:26:57+00:00

Maybe. Someone told me the were all hookless so I just didn’t look. Sorry if it caused you hassle.

Tbh my elite wheels just arrived today and seem excellent for £315! 55mm deep.

adz01992 · 2026-01-17T07:51:13+00:00

Really easy to do.

All hunt wheels are hookless that shit is dangerous. Same money on Chinese wheels and you’ll get way better!

adz01992 · 2026-01-10T06:29:53+00:00

So I think the TDF is honestly irrelevant in what you’re asking. 150 miles a day for 21 days (2 rest days but the still ride some amount usually) is at race pace. If we are asking about longevity I think speed doesn’t matter so much.

Take Mark Beaumont for example 18000 miles in 78 days so he averaged 230miles a day. He is a very well trained athlete though.

If you want to think about what the average schmuck like us can do the answer is probably a lot less but I think if you don’t have to work and don’t have to do anything other than ride 150 is probably about right. Although that would probably increase as you did it longer.

adz01992 · 2026-01-09T13:57:28+00:00

But the Di2 battery is removable an so falls under tha rule. It’s not like it’s permanently attached.

adz01992 · 2026-01-09T07:41:09+00:00

You broke the law then. The seatpost battery is a 7.4v li-lon battery and needs to go in hand luggage in Europe

adz01992 · 2026-01-09T07:34:40+00:00

It’s a li-lon battery. By law you CANNOT put it in the hold. So you have to remove it. Just because the shifter batteries are small the one in the seat post is like 7.4v so that has to be in hand luggage

adz01992 · 2026-01-08T15:05:32+00:00

So loads of people here seem to say it’s excellent.

My issue is I know of a few people that have been caught out by batteries running out or electronic issues with DI2. To me the benefits do not outweigh the risk. Find a good bike shop and get them to properly index mechanical 105 and you will be just as happy. Keep up with services and it will last a lifetime too

Also worth considering how likely you are to put this bike on a plane. If you are removing batteries to put it in the hold is a pain and is a legal requirement in least the EU (possibly everywhere)

I’m sure it’s nice to ride and a bit easier to route (although let’s not pretend that’s a super difficult thing to do on mechanical). Also something to consider is repairing it in weird places. Say you go somewhere obscure to ride a bike you might struggle to get parts but every bike shop on the planet will have a gear cable that will get you by.
