    Stumbled in to your videos Scott and I'm blown away by your efforts on & off the bike. Life can kick you in the head a bit, but it's how you face into adversity that really shows character. You've got it in spades and it's powerful. Don't beat yourself up about the occasional slip, but do keep your goal close at all times. The weight target is the what, the ability to perform is the why. The why is the most important motivation you have. I'm not being too wooo-wooo about it, as I speak from recent experience. Ruptured my ACL, tore my MCL and my PCL 20 months ago. 7 months of waiting and prehab, 3 months of post op rehab before I could get back on an indoor bike with flat pedals. I went from 78 to 98kgs. Started training again in March and I'm finally back to something close. I've got Tour of the peaks, Fred, Chase the sun/C2C (North) and Etape de tour all booked for this year and I'm determined to get another 6kgs off by end April so I'm in the right shape (68kg) for a big summer. Every kg has taken effort and sacrifice, but I know how miserable I was when I was sat on my arse and couldn't ride or walk without crutches. I'm 53 and determined to do whatever it takes to keep moving and cycling for as long as its humanly possible to. Your struggles are sometimes hard to watch but you're not alone and you're giving perspective and hope to a lot of people. Keep at it and best of luck with all things champ.

I have got a place in the 2025 Fred which I’m so excited about and equally a bit of fear of the unknown . I’m a 55 year old guy who mountain biked in the 90s got back into bikes late 30s followed layer by 12 yrs of ultra marathons but after a super rough and life changing Covid time refound my love of cycling which has led me to today commuting to work and back everyday and joined a fantastic cycling club Angmering CC on the south coast and training for the Fred (and the Lap ultra round Windermere not long after) plus the dragon ride GF, which was a back up if I didn’t get in the Fred .

      What new bike? The TCR? It's a huge upgrade.

    I have got 11speed on a couple of my rim brake bikes. They are simple to service and a joy to ride and when parked at the cafe always draw a crowd. I did go disc brake when my mates all did but I didn’t like it and sold them during the covid boom. My maintenance costs for a rim brake bike and time are far less. For me there would be no contest I’d put sealant in the tubes and sell the tcr and travel the world with the airborne. Things I will never have on a road bike Integrated cables Electronic gears Tubeless wheels Hydraulic discs I have been abroad with to many friends that have lost days because of their modern “bikes” And before you all call out I’ve had a giant defy disc, cannondale synapse disc and the use of a pinarello F and I have sold 2 and not bought the 3rd. Just off to order a new rear wheel for my giant tcx the wheel is 10 years old and over 20,000 miles of use the front one is 20 years old and has done 35,000 miles and still not worn out.

      Oh I'd dearly love to travel the world...but that's just not possible. The TCR is also remaining - it's a quick machine that really does me well! Tubeless has been a gamechanger for me, as has discs - especially up here in the cold, dark north! Cheers for your feedback though, I fully understand your viewpoint. :)

      @ sealant is a game changer it’s even better in tubes than in tubeless setups. I use stan in tubes all year round well worth the 20g. Try it you’ll find all the tubeless annoyances disappear, Leaking tape Burping Weekly pressure loss. You even get faster sealing as a scab will form between the tyre and the tube.

    I have a rim brake bike from 2016 that fits me like a glove, is a joy to ride, and is comfortably riding AL bike with a fantastic carbon fork. I upgraded with electronic shifting, carbon bars, carbon post, and got some new carbon wheels. Fantastic bike that I have over 10K miles on even though I have a carbon frame bike that is a dream to ride. I have often thought of selling it, but then I take another ride on it, and think, yea, this is my forever bike. Some people might think I am stupid and it is a waste of money, but, hey, its my money and I enjoy the bike. Sometime, something old, can be something new

    Keep it an take your time upgrading. One day the TCR might not suit you and and titanium road bike might be all you need.
