Hi Andy,
Do you know how many simultaneous Bluetooth connections this, and the H6 (or H6m) can do? I’m finding it hard to discover that information, but want to use BT to a phone and tablet at the same time.

Raleigh and Genesis were in the gravel market a year or two before Cannondale and GT

Biggest one for me, bizarrely, is Zwift. It has allowed me to stay much fitter all year round, cycling when the weather or time doesn’t allow you to get out on the bike. The result being that when I do get to go out into the real world I am much faster, and have more fun than would previously have been the case.

In reply to Chris Hawyes. True! in addition who greases the seat tube? Shouldn't one use anti-seize compound, specially for the CF seatposts?

I can’t disagree more with the opinion that it will attract people. If you want people to get interested pricing it out of the market is not the way to go. Not all folks that have an interest in cycling can justify or afford £30.99/month. You are going to lose a lot of viewers in the UK. THE FREE TO AIR SHOW SOUNDS INTERESTING, but what people want to watch is live RACING. I’m not altogether against subscribing but the cost is far too much to keep the normal cycle fan.

“as of 28th February cycling will only be available as part of the premium package at £30.99 a month (£371.88 a year).”

This must be a joke! I am not interested in the other sports mentioned – especially football so do not want them. I bet you will still have to suffer the interminable advert breaks too. Bring back GCN+ at £40.00 a year. All the races with no advert breaks. Warner & Co are rip-off merchants. Cycling will die in the UK through lack of exposure.

In reply to Ken Stevens.

Hi Ken,

Israel-Premier Tech isn’t a WorldTour team at the moment. Although they get automatic invites into most races, they’re a ProTeam (in the second division). That said, they’re likely to get promoted at the end of 2025 when the next wave of UCI promotions takes place.

Take care,
Ewan

In reply to Norman Saunders. A few people have mentioned heated socks, could be worth a try if you haven't already?
