If you're keen, could do a brief writeup on your experience using Whaleroad groupset for Dirtylands. 14 speed is next level!
Fuuuhhh.. actually quite bit nervous that the groupset won’t survive. Since the previous entry, I couldn’t finish cos my GRX gave up about 30km into the race. But luckily it survived! Other than the chain dried up (but tbf that happens to many of the racers) all is good. Shifting’s nice, no skips, and battery still 80% after the race. I’m glad I conquered it this time. This groupset is no brainer. Only need to beat our ego that the fact its name is unappealing lol
Surviving Dirtyland is a big deal, and it didn't break nor fail! What's the cassette like? 10-46t? Can get bigger?
Group looks SRAM like — how’s the shifting speed? Any noticeable delays? I feel like Shimano is faster than SRAM. How does this compare?
