most bike brands only have 1 (if lucky 2 ) cyclocross bikes. theres nothing to recommend if you want a certain brand.

giant is being raced by the pros on cyclocross though

Just did a 128km round island ride on my Tern with fellow Terners on labour day night... Anti-clockwise direction so should be easier...

wbs1s2.png


Total distance: 128.2km
Total time taken: 9 hours
Time stopped: At least 2.5 hours due to punctures, injury, rest point =:p

Average speed: 20-21 kmh

I guess some may have spotted us.

I was really struggling in the final 15km. With light drizzle raining down on us at Telok Blangah at 4am, and knowing fully well that the ending point was just <15km away, the phrase 'so near yet so far" is really true. I am glad there was little traffic, for I was using the inner chainring with the largest cog pounding up every slope with my eyes looking at the floor. As I recollect now, I have no idea how I managed to summon such strength to continue on that time. I felt my legs don't belong to me anymore...

Now both legs very sore, numb, tight and hot. I didn't expect to complete it since the last time I cycle more than 50km was >4 months ago.. :s22:

Anyone have 2x sets of wheelset, that you interchange often?


Just got myself another wheelset to ride outside, the other for my trainers at home,
1x wheelset with 10speed ultegra cassette
1x wheelset with 10speed tiagra cassette

Would there be any issues or just a case of swap and can use smoothly?
thanks all!
