Same, they look a lot whiter on that pic than the actually are! :smiley:

My pop-up Zwift station yesterday. Right PITA, I lose a good 30+ mins setting up and dismantling it.

so have I - my 2nd pair as I had to throw the first ones after a few years use as I got fed up of the constant smell of rank piss from them, even though I’d never pissed in them.

Northwave Tribute? Snap! Got them for £19 on ebay, brand new! A little trashed from commuting in them, but have finally moved back to old SPDs/MTB shoes to save them for the one Sprint Tri I do each year.

Ha! My one and only half involved an on the move wee, most of which ended up in the Northwaves.

Was trashed afterwards so chucked them in a bag and then didn’t do any exercise for a week. They smelt like a Detroit underpass when I eventually fished them out the bag.

They’re OK now (5 years later)

Quality! My friend great use of the stackability plastic boxes to not only be a work surface for poota and drinks but also with careful mis-alignment provides a shelf for the sockets…some learning points here for the uneducated.

I suspect “poota” means something else to you, either that or you have a very workman-like attitude to the art of paid-for-love.

Portuguese, at least.

From my days of living in Colombia, I don’t think I’d have a poota on the counter, not without a big bowl of charlie

I’ve been given the green light to get our built in garage door bricked up, and a window added… and to turn it into a pain cave! :smiley::tada::tada:

I must get bonus points for having to knock a nail in the roof to catch a leak before a turbo session.
Right on the back of my neck when aero too!

Haven’t fully decided yet but about putting this stuff on one wall. Looks pretty versatile and easy to change layout.

Was that full of Haribo?

Zoomed right in but can’t see any aerobars!

I get the space under the stairs which is nice and cosy.
But at least I can keep it all set up…just need to actually use it a bit more :relaxed:

Nice set up. Does that make you the Harry Potter of triathlon though?

Ha ha I reckon my other half would love me to box it in so I would be properly in the understairs cupboard :smiley:
