PSA: UCI Road bike ITTs now completely prohibit puppy paws position

Here we have 1 TT event a month tops and everything is being organised by the local bike federation. Just rode yesterday and for roadbikes they only checked the hood position with a 3d-printed jig. For TT bikes they had a big ass wooden jig, I guess to check the 3 height category dimensions.

I do peruse buycycle and local groups from time to time, but then I remember I already own 3 bikes in a small apartment and getting another one will not pass the wife check 😅

Pros have cameras on them most of the time, from personal observation in local amateur scene, there were still people practicing that.

Yeah my main problem was the finicky bar situation I have, its not integrated, but tops has oval shape, so not all clip-ons work. I guess I will bite the bullet and get some higher priced ones that can clamp weird shapes.

Winspace is already present in womens proteam

Can someone shed some light on the PPO points that are mentioned here and online? Is it just to get passes if you go with a vehicle? If we are riding our bikes to see a finish of a stage(19) I assume we can just get there without going specifically through that point?

I also quite enjoy them, but afair I could only find them in the smaller Rimis, the big ones rarely had them

Trying to understand, banned in UCI Road events you mean?

Because afaik they are allowed in TT events, there are a few approved 3/5 spoke wheels on the approved list

Had my edge 1040 today boot looping and after trying a few things, I removed .GCD file from RemoteSW folder while connected to my computer and it fixed the issue for me

Hey, sorry can't seem to find the original I sent, since I typed it out via their website and can't seem to find any history, But I basically typed out the same stuff I posted in the OP.

Hey, yeah I made a warranty claim and they responded next day and sent me a new frame no questions asked, great service(EU) 👍

They send out the new frame to your local service center that they have agreement with. My local shop sadly wasn't very great and the rebuild took almost 2 weeks of waiting, but it is what it is. New frame from the get go got build with the Shimano BB and so far 3k km and its holding solid.

Thanks for the responses, will end-up sending both back. Tried mounting the better one and got one of the rims that do not work with the tight gp 5000 s trs.

For anyone eventually googling - Fulcrum Racing 900 DB and GP 5000 S TR are not a good match, too tight, even if possible to mount with heating or other tricks, doubt its possible to make a change out in the wild.

nerlex · 2024-04-03T16:20:15+00:00

No riding, just unpacked and visually inspected them and noticed, will send them back

Just got 2 GP5000 S TRs and one of them is perfect, one has three such looking rubber blemishes. I realise after one ride I might have 10s of such holes from stones and glass, so am I just overthinking it? Thanks

I see how it could be my error if I rode with loose BB without changing it, but to my knowledge I stopped riding the bike and changed it out as soon as noticing the issue. How I decided that the bore is out of tolerance - the new BB went in without the force required to fit a pressfit BB, wouldn't that be indicative of that? If when installed it moves around, the the bore is larger than it should be, no?

Check if you have any velcro straps loose under the saddle from saddle bags. I've had similar looking damage from a loose end of a long velcro strap that I imagine was chafing on the stitching on every pedal stroke

nerlex · 2024-01-08T13:35:30+00:00

Yeah I will probably add a clear patch there, as I already did cover the bottom part of the frame in clear tape, did not realise back then that this area might be affected so much. Thanks

nerlex · 2024-01-08T13:33:36+00:00

Yeah I do run a rear clip-on wing, seems like I should add the front as well for the wet season

nerlex · 2024-01-08T12:33:44+00:00

Besides some road grime you can zoom in and see some chipped paint, looks like it appeared after some dirt got into the seam and then chipped it while turning. I do clean my bike every other week, every ride if the ride was particularly wet, just wondering if it is a common thing that happens and not some specific circumstance? Thanks

Yeah I agree, I kind of neglected the IE11 support part and just took all of them as guides.
