Really interested to hear how you find it. Sadly my 810 doesn't support it :/

Think the lack of apps at the moment will limit it, but will give it a try, want some more power ones ideally, but it's fairly new on the Edge1000, looks lot better than the default screens.

My plan was to develop my own app to be honest.... So it's doubly annoying that the 810 doesn't support it :p

Valid reason but equally you've less excuse with a KICKR! I have to swap my wheel over & pump up my turbo tyre every time! Wanna swap your KICKR for my Road Machine? I can even supply you with a bike...? :p

Pass :p

Perfect excuse for a Mango bike. Despite having the same cassette on the bike and the Kickr I feel like the gears are tuned properly when I swap.

I'm still considering the Point AR though kinda hoping they will reduce it further at some point soon :D I could do cycle scheme again but my company literally takes 2.5 months to create an electronic voucher!

Agreed the 'pins' on Shimano are a pain... KMC chains are made of cheese and I found SRAM chains last me much longer. Although last time I did get a Shimano CN-HG701 and it's been ok... Has done nearly 500 miles so can't comment on how long it's going to last, yet!

my winter bike gets lubricated when it actually starts squeaking, and cleaned when i need to work on it, and a KMC X10.73 is good for 2500 miles without even getting to .75 on my wear indicator

maybe the 11x ones aren't so good, but idk, i've never used one

OVER THE SUMMER!?

100% of summer riding should take place outside and on some lovely country lanes! :p

Oh, don't get me wrong, I will definitely be making the most of my summer riding outdoors! Just at the moment, I'm doing an hour on the turbo in the morning before work, as it gives me some good exercise to keep shifting the fat.

And until my deadline at work is out the way in May (chip tape-out) I don't have as much time in the evenings.
 
Synapse or Roubaix (or Datum 30 if I can find one)?

Hmm. I don't even need a new bike..... but every time I go over some rough bits of road my bottom dies a little. So maybe I do.

Diverge... ;)

I really think Specialized will be the route I go for my next ride... Cannondale have worse BB's than the junk in my Giant! :rolleyes:;)

I don't "get" the diverge. What's it for?
I should probably want one. The only Roubaix that has any place for decent(?) guards is the cheapest one... and probably the one I should buy. But I'm a geek and want Di2

Just to check, you're not buying them all separately are you? But as part of a whole groupset, right?
