Cheers dude, it’s just been a strange exchange from the start. I think it’s an agency that represents them, but they still represent them. I sent the exchange to wheeltop direct as well so they can see the to and fro as I’m guessing they might not actually be aware what a ‘marketeer’ is saying to creators
@TriathlonDan got an EZ disc redshift quick release aero bars so can still take them off if I just fancy a normal ride and I also have the fcr pro helmet great choice.
You should try the saucony range. I daily train in speed 4s and did a marathon in the pros. As a heavier guy they are fantastic, true to size massive bounce while being comfortable
Thanks for that! I ran in the some Saucony's years ago, just training shoes, I had a lot of shin / calf issues and moved to Brooks, but it's hard to tell if they were actually any better as I still had those issues which only went after I'd lost a lot of weight. Will keep an eye out for sales :D
@ no the Ventral. Nice and airy for hot trips. I do have a game changer as well. When I replace them I may look to the Van Rysel as they seem like great value for MIPS too
Love the upgrades. i bougth the Anemoi 2 trisuit last year innthe bkack friday sale. I have only worn it a couple of times but it looks and feel very nice. also Puck will be mad at is for you jumping of the ABUS train. I have actually been thinking about an aero road helment. I have a TT helment older Rudy version. I am considering the new Rudybwing dream as well in the future for ironman in 26 or 27 but dont know if its worth the $$$ as well but I hear they are mint
@ they all do like Darth Hement from space balls but the one piece body suits and ribbed socks arent excatly lighting up the fashion world either are they? so I guess aero is everthing but sexy unless of coarse your Dan Bingham, he is sexy 😂
I've been offered the same Wheeltop EDS groupset, haven't said yes yet mainly cos am I don't have a frame to stick it on. If I can wing a free frameset from Winspace or similar it's a no-brainer because like you said - they are probably great and fine.
Yeah the way they just expect people to pull a frame and all other associated parts out their backside for an unpaid promo is hilarious. It started really low stress and requirements and I had a road bike I'm building up anyway, then after posting it they've emailed twice to ask for a preview video and sending guidelines etc. I could probably just post a review and do my own thing "what are they going to do" but I'd rather just not work with brands like that and send them the product back. I've not heard back from my "positive constructive" email anyway and I've got a second hand Sram Rival AXS groupset for the same money as a Wheeltop so that's probably the sensible decision anyway. Just makes me question the "reviews" I see of it
@@TriathlonDan Yeah agree on all those points, but I'd lean towards the "what are they going to do" a little more because hey "free stuff!" But anyway, in the past I've just gone ahead with a complete bike build. I already have a bike in mind for Spring! Now e-bike on the other hand... I'd love to give one a go!
Big respect 🙏 to you Dan for being so honest, and not pushing a product just for a gain
Cheers, no problem at all. Saves me a bike build too haha :D
Good on ya Dan. EDS doing themselves no favours

Loving the upgrades mate haven't got the funds to get a dedicated TT bike yet so got some bits to try and make my road bike more TT friendly.
@@TheNorthernTriGuy cheers! Road bikes with clip on bars are 90% as good as TT bikes anyway, you’ll be just fine with something like that 👍

Fair play to you, integrity is worth more than some freebie’s.
I was waiting for you to say you’ve been drinking AG1 and feel amazing for it 😂.
Cheers - hahaha well firstly they haven't offered and secondly I'd prefer a cherry pepsi max, probably just as good for me :D
Lake shoes by far the most noticeable upgrade I’ve made in the last 12months and that includes rear disc and tri-spoke wheels.
Nice one! Trispoke looks better though ;)
@ ooo its close mate, CX333 with custom sole’s a bit tasty 🤣
Nice upgrades. Cheers. Back to work
Cheers! Back to work too :(

Pretty sure I saw something that ranked the VR helmet as one of the most aero one currently available.
Nice one, Darley Moor better watch out ;)
@@TriathlonDan My Poc helmet has turned out to be the least aero....
@ tempor? They look cool though 🤣
@ no the Ventral. Nice and airy for hot trips. I do have a game changer as well. When I replace them I may look to the Van Rysel as they seem like great value for MIPS too
Hope the groupset works well for you! Im giving the helmets a go aswell
The wheeltop is going back mate, I found some dodgy crashed sram instead ;). Nice one, I don't want to use them until it's less mucky outside :D
@ yh same here. Want them to stay white for the summer.

hahaha brilliant, it's down to £4 now I remembered my royalty-free music subscription :D

A dedicated TT bike 😉
Haha yes mate!
Has the Cervelo sold? I can’t find it on FB?
Yes it's sold, still got the Felt & Canyon though
