When we were talking about new wheel ideas a couple of months back I was going to build my own but decided to go with these Bontrager Aeolus 37 Pro instead, GP5000 tubeless.
Keep us updated Andy .

Which colour?

Bear in mind I have red Hope calipers.

Should I go bling red or understated black and red nipples?

 

[Aleman]

Red Calipers?? Then Red Hubs! ... with Black and Red nipples

 

[bridgy]

Looks like from that table that I was the only one with realistic watts at the top-end of the table. Yet somehow they propelled me to third.

Vagaries of Bkool or another fine example of blatant wheel-sucking?

When I looked earlier the guy who had the KOM for it had done some ridiculously low watts so I don't know what's going on - a bit of Bkool randomness I guess! Strangely,Strava is now not letting me view any leaderboards for any segments at all...

Yes Ive got the Hope RS4 4 pot calipers in anodised red.

My mountain wheels are DT Swiss rims/hubs and red nipples, sapim spokes.

Bloody typical - first time for ages I have a chance to race with the big boys and it’s down hill
Randy - next time we meet up remind me I owe you a poke in the eye 👍
Is this the place where everyone will be posting excuses for not racing Sunday ? 🎣

I weigh 100kgs in RGT

Not much chat about this race on Sunday on rgt, is it still going ahead?

Anyone any experience racing on the platform? Differences in draft etc. I've done a couple of free rides but I've only run into one other person so don't know what a blob draft effect is like.

The course seems to be one our original splitters will know? Fairly small bumps?

Who is in?

Start very slow and let the "bkoolers" get way way ahead to lull them into complacency. Keep in a very tight group to avoid letting anyone surge ahead and thereby increase the speed.

This was a request from Pete for that course.

I don't have a PC, does that rule me out? I'm an Apple w@nk3r

It works on macs as well.

Leading the way would imply he spent some time in the lead surely....

That was a weird one. Tommy basically paced me up Box Hill but Strava doesn't reflect that for some reason.

Good day that was

Pretty sure I did the same thing to lee up alpe d’uez to be fair so I’m in no position to judge 😄
