Black Friday buy finally off the slow boat.
Time Xpro 15.
Been using Speedplay zeros for the last 5 years.. Itching to try something different.
Just the pedals are 175g..which is right on the money. Compared to the stock zeros are 33g lighter.
The real story is when you weigh the whole kit.. Cleats, bolts, wedges and all.
Xpro 259g
Zero 353g
94g lighter as a kit.

those are regular Grand Prix tires. I've been running them for awhile now since they're cheap on sale. haven't had any more or any less issues compared to GP4000II, and at that price, I can change the tires more often. Uses similar Black Chili compound for rubber.

Since my 16 y.o took the Prius with the rack/hitch, I had to come up with something for the new commuter car to accommodate the bikes on long trips. Looked for a simple add on hitch kit but this was 1/4th the price altogether. Will try it a bit, and if it works out well I’ll get the 2-3 bike one from Alibaba instead as the 3 bike carrier costs what a single carrier sea sucker cost on amazon!!! Eat part is I can for this easily in my travel bag with the bike and use it on trips as well. Unlike the 2 bike Saris Thelma!!!!!

My case, bike has dropped right side due to strong wind from the left side even if fork has lawyer tab. Good thing is that the rear suction cup hold bike and hangs in car side so that nobody hearts at Tokyo city core highway.
I changed to Shimano QR, tighten like crazy but thinking to buy seasucker.

This is great to know. Will replace the QR for sure, tighten it plenty, and maybe for peace of mind see if I can secure the bike some other way as well!!rukomasa wrote:I have this and failed. suction cup is Rock solid! but problem is QR.

Minoura FG542 or feedback sports has that sort of trainer but dunno if they sell wheel support separately.yinya wrote:
Guys, any of you know who might sell a similar front wheel support for the trainer so I don’t need to use the wheel. Can be with or without a tablet holder.

What about buying truck fork mount like below and do small DIY?
