We took on the Enduro2 pairs race this past weekend and somehow came away with the win after three days of racing. I attempted to record all the stages but I shouldn't have had confidence the GoPro would hold up for 95 minutes really or forgetting to record the stage and record the climb instead.

For those in the Sprint they skipped stage 3 during the day for a slightly shorter rou...

      Hi - not so familiar with the bar or markings so would recommend you drop into a LBS and see what they think. There’s a Ranger of adjustment in most bars and if you’re outwith that then you’re probably setting them up in a questionable way. Good luck!
