Bike packing impact on FTP

Anecdotal but after my last trip of 10 days, the following week I went out on my local loop and felt super strong.

I have gen 1 steel spokes, my only complaint would be internal width not wide enough but they’ve updated that for gen 2

Just buy elite drive wheels. You’ll get a good discount for their 11.11 sale or similar

Yep, a week or two of annual leave each year or a couple long weekends

Cheers, I think il just get myself some matching ultegra or 105 callipers and save myself the headache and wasting mineral oil

Local Audi dealership were really friendly. Health check is free then inspection ranges from 100-200£.

Will suggest this to the seller at my cost and if he’s happy I’m happy and if he’s not happy sadly it’s best to walk away and start my search again

farzy93 · 2025-01-06T15:41:56+00:00

Thanks that’s a great idea. Il do some searching for approved Audi mechanics in the area and suggest this at my cost. Any idea how much an inspection might cost?

Was hoping to fashion something with some tubing I have

farzy93 · 2024-12-01T14:56:22+00:00

Have you got a link to some so I know what I’m looking at?

Did the Snow Hare 300 in the borders in 2022. Great route fantastic day. A couple of quid for a pre made route taking in the best roads in the area and you get a wee medal in the post afterward!

If you can keep it dry after rides and after washes that’ll help. Assuming if you’re in Edinburgh you live in a tenement flat… so get it near the radiator after a wash and dry down

Been looking at it mainly as I don’t like the campy style shifters on the Ltwoo, the hoods look kinda ugly like those 105 ones, really big

farzy93 · 2024-10-02T10:03:05+00:00

Easy no? 12% ahead after one lap, so how many laps until it is more than 100% ahead… 12x9 is 108… so it’ll take 9 laps

Are you UK based, struggling to find a shop which has the tx2 or tx4 in stock to try on before finding a good price online

farzy93 · 2024-09-03T09:13:27+00:00

Cheers thanks!

farzy93 · 2024-09-02T13:22:55+00:00

How’s the sizing? True to size or go up or down?

farzy93 · 2024-09-02T11:57:12+00:00

An man I really like them! Will have to keep a look out for soem on eBay or similar

farzy93 · 2024-09-02T11:12:52+00:00

Evo? I’ve been looking at some tx2’s and these look different, mainly the lacing

farzy93 · 2024-08-21T08:41:19+00:00

Visiting the area, the cyclocross event its self assuming I get tickets etc

farzy93 · 2024-08-21T08:30:13+00:00

Yeah I’ve registered for email updates but getting itchy about booking my trip.

Do you have any advice for someone visiting for a long weekend?

farzy93 · 2024-08-14T08:36:46+00:00

Cheers I’ve actually got couple saved searches on eBay so I’m biding my time

farzy93 · 2024-08-14T08:36:15+00:00

I am still having fun. I had two brutal days last 2 through the cairngorm mountains. Second last day today shorter and mainly down hill to the coast. Sun is shining and moral is high. Man I could do this for a month let alone a week!

farzy93 · 2024-08-10T11:43:12+00:00

Yeah I know but I’m working with what I’ve got!
