Don't get Magene dual sensor if want to connect with Zwift. It would not detect, I tried already. Right now I'm eyeing for Bryton speed sensor since agak affordable + cincai requirements to play with Zwift.

Thanks for the head up, will look around again for the sensor.

Looks like I made a fucking big mistake.

My wheelset currently has creakingg spokes ( true many times just cannot solve the damn sound). If solve will come back after 3 or 4 ride

Front set carbon the tube housing already got few scarring....this now impacts tube replacement. I had a ride last weekend and replace the tube 2 times until I run out of tube during my ride...when I investigate...apparently the tubes were getting scared by the uneven surface of the rims as they go in


So I decided to buy new wheelset. Got myself new wheelset with depth of 55. Old wheelset was 40.

Thought how bad can the diff be. Now climbing is a little harder..always feel something dragging my bike. Flat and downhill is better. My Strava...not much difference during ride but average speed has increased by 2kmh


Oh well....no point crying over spilled milk. I guess now I have to loose my body weight to counter thjs

Sufferfest on the hills....sections slower by 30 percent but wattages are higher. In my head...already spend money on the wheels....push harder.

But downhill and flats....these wheels just wants to go go go!

Flat and downhill biggest difference..on the flat now I constantly see around 40 to 44kmh on my meter...usually 38 ish.
Downhill also I first time hit 60kmh on the gce downhill after Bukit jelutong climb...usually 54

But it could also be placebo that I know got new rims so more semangat.....will try tomorow and see if I still see the above


But general feeling...I'm less tired on the flat ....once get the tire rolling

Start acceleration take a bit of effort more ...and climbing also more spinning to be done so the wheels rotate


Also this wheelset is about 1.75kg ...my older rims around 1.4kg...both wheelset on ceramic bearings ....the new wheelset just did around 40km ride...hope to run more km so it breaks out n

Huh?
Hills are always a suffer fest, it's just whether you suffer more or less.

As Greg Lemond said, "It never gets easier, you just go faster."
Congrats on the new high profile wheels. Just a matter of getting used to riding up grades with them.
Unless I'm attempting the Cameron Loop again next year, my Swisside 625s are my wheelset for all parcours.

Extra suffer fest coz I feel something weighing me down....spin spin spin...macam Ada magnet holding can't break through.


Guess need to get my piston upgraded with more rides and less complain.

After a 100km or if the wheels looks a bit not straight bring them back to the shop for them to adjust the spoke tension.

Check your brake pad clearances.
Don't worry about the "magnets", as you get more rides in and shape up you'll feel the mags less.

Hey guys, super new to cycling. But thinking of taking it up for road cycling for distances of 30-80km+++ along scenic routes on the weekends (still researching where and distance is just a gauge for now).

Was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction on what road bike I could invest in? Ideally an "Endurance bike", that doesn't have me leaning forward too much like a "pure race bike" as I understand.

Budget is about RM2.5-3.5k+/-.

Thanks guys and happy new year smile.gif
