Yeah me neither hence selling, now I have multiple children, long days cycling are over...

They are quite deep though, 50 or 55mm, can't remember which.

What's your budget for a full wheel set? I've got a set of AR which I am considering parting out (XDR freehub) with a SON front.

I was thinking a cheap actual AXS battery! But yeah coin cell definitely a good shout, I have used one for a dead HR monitor and separately power meter mid-ride in the past!

For sure. Might even keep it in a separate bag to stop it getting fouled by anything inside my frame bag....stupidly expensive/fragile kit (but great at intended purpose).

Ooh like it.

Forgot:

• spare chain links
  
• contact lenses
  
• £5 note for booting/places that don't take card
  

Probably the wrong place for this, but I'm refreshing my long distance winter frame bag kit list.

Other than puncture repair stuff, was considering:

• spare AXS battery
  
• wax lube
  
• glove liners
  
• emergency sugar/gel
  
  

Anything obvious I am missing. This to have for 4-6 hour rides through the dark cold months.

I'm going to finally retire my P2 for next season in lieu of something a bit more fun to ride. It is pretty decent in a straight line if DC's and PB's are the priority (not for me)..

Take it with you on family holidays, obviously

On a limited budget, fast as possible....isn't possible.

Oh there's a tiny improvement for sure, but moreover a great opportunity to look like a triathlete

I'm looking to design a wrap for my frame, any recommendations on software to use?

(and I did TT Worlds this year with my number stuck to a pocket of my speed suit, it was fine)

I'd not focus on the under-saddle. It's the smallest area for any kind of aero improvement. Carry your tools for peace of mind.

By far and away the most important is body position - your kit is good enough for getting even better times imho. The best investment right now is getting a TT bike fit from someone who knows what they are doing.

Wattshop

Whilst it's proposed he did well over 400w for GB Nats, and he would need something in the 450w region for the hour to beat Ganna. Not sure he's quite there yet.

Didn't see @Fabzzzz endorse Hambini's poor form in any way, but that didn't stop folks lining up to give him a kicking for not being on board with the New Done Thing and binning the cunt entirely. Yuk

No one has received a kicking nor has been binned. Please read the links @amey posted and perhaps even stretch yourself to some wider reading and thinking on why defending Hambini has provoked the response it has.

What colourway on the Med?

Thanks - the top comment on that got me pondering the DIY route myself.

Luckily he became a team leader mid-race so there was no gifting really.

Also the above works if you only have a smart trainer but no power meter on your TT bike, which is great.

Last note, it's probably a bit involved to get into it but I think the whole 'push really hard into the headwind' and then 'save on th tailwind' is a good rule of thumb, but it's unfortunately not as simple as that. If I rode a course with a block headwind then these online tools would suggest to ride some unsustainable %FTP into the wind Vs the taily.

I use MyWindsock pretty extensively, but the main thing is once you've done a bunch of races then you can get a rough range of its estimated CdA. Don't take any stock in the actual value but if similar distance and traffic levels to your event then you can plug in those ranges and what power you think you can hold (again I do a low and high). This will give you a target speed for the 'fast' and 'slow' bits for the course.

Given it takes into account the elevation profile and the weather on the day, it's been a great guide to pacing. Personally find it much easier to try and maintain a speed for a given segment, rather than monitoring power constantly.

Anyone done a DIY sprint shifter for AXS? I found someone selling them on eBay but can't find them since. Am up for soldering if I can work out what connector the shifters use.

They are rock solid, you won't regret it.
