I'm sure they will happily comply if they know people would convert....They need to get more flatter routes for us who don’t do up hill pain though... a bit more variety and ability to do leagues..

Sweat corrosion! Mates handlebar snapped on his turbo bike on an outdoor ride last weekend and this other guy Today. May be worth checking your bars.
I guess it would be difficult to do leagues due to the rides being hard drive based as apposed to hosted on a network?
Yikes.....
Blimey
That's probably what those bkool handlebars are like under that dodgy bar tape

I had to replace various bolts for the stem due to corrosion... nothing like the smell of sweaty bacon...
I also had a cable hanger thingy bolt snap where it goes into the frame... that was scary putting a new rivet into a carbon frame myself...

That’s mental! I wonder when the last time was he changed his bar tape.

What does your mate eat wasabi and chilli burgers washed down with a bit of hydrochloric acid.
I have re-taped my bars once a year or more and have never seen any corrosion.
But then again 'I'm a Lady'.
He could do with a better fan and that doesn't look like the average indoor room to me so perhaps the environment has had something to do with it.
Also note he corrosion of the brifter bolts.
Thats two different sets of handle bars as the same side is broken in two different places.

Think about your health man... that kind of withdrawal can be dangerous...
I just assumed AAAC had dicovered a new tipple!

Mates is the first one and he does a lot more mileage on turbo and IRL. That’s not his best bike so doesn’t receive the care and attention it might have done. Could in part be down to quality of tape/taping.
I had mine checked when tape changed for Ventoux trip and it was squeaky clean but then I run two fans when I am on turbo.

I've been thinking that myself.
I have been a bit light headed all day today and was wondering whether to BKool or not but the BKool god made that decision for me.
Perhaps my blood is getting a bit thick and affecting my blood pressure hence my blip last week after training and another smaller one yesterday morning.
I am just hanging in there long enough to do the NC and perhaps have another birthday as well.
I must check my life insurance as well!
