Yes, thanks. I'm testing out an 80mm 17 degree rise stem at the moment. I'll see how that goes.

Hi guys, I am thinking of setting my road bike up with a 35 degree 80mm stem due to neck/back pain mostly. I am aware that this will change the geometry of the bike. I've had a proper setup done but it is still persisting. I'm running a 70mm 6 degree rise stem & 760mm wide handlebar on my MTB and that has been perfect. Anyone else running a similar setup on a road bike and what was the experience like? Regards,

Tested it out this weekend and no issues. Smooth shifting, quiet on the trails and enough gears for steep climbs with a 34T and 11-51T combo. Love it!

So I finally did the upgrade and so far so good. I still need to take it on the trails for a proper test though. This was a nice budget upgrade.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I will keep you posted after the upgrade.

Hi guys, I am planning on upgrading my drivetrain to the Shimano SLX 1 X 12. Parts: SLX derailleurSLX shifterSLX chainSunrace cassette 11/51 (As I have a Shimano freehub)Deckas Narrow Wide 34T chainring I've read on forums that the new Shimano chain might not work very well with a different chainring other than Shimano. Anyone else running a similar setup with a none Shimano chainring and cassette and how was the shifting? Cheers,

I was also hunting for 155mm saddles and I came across the below site at Freewheel Cycology. They are based in Cape Town. https://freewheel.co.za/collections/saddles/products/romin-evo-expert-gel They've got a white Specialized ROMIN EVO EXPERT GEL for R800 on special.

Thank you! I managed to get a demo organized for next week. Regards,

Hi guys, Could you someone please advise their long term review with either the Formula Cura 2 or Hope Tech 3 X2? Which one would be the best to go for? Regards,

Hi guys, I'm currently testing out Kudo Coach. Anyone else using this platform to train? I've got a 2 week free trial and after that it is about R80 a month. What's your opinion on it and what are you guys using that's in this price range? https://www.kudo.coach/ Kind regards,

Thanks for the advice guys. I'll test it out for the next 2 months and see how it feels. Really hope I can keep this medium frame as a dual suspension frame is $$$$.

Hey guys, I recently purchased myself a medium Giant Anthem 29er. I usually ride a large. On the Giant sizing chart, it says that it will fit me. I took it around the block and it felt fine. I am 1.80m tall. This is my current bike's (hardtail - large 19") geometry chart. This is the Giant Anthem's geometry for a medium. Could I make the medium work for me with some adjustments? Cheers,

I followed the instructions in the video below for my Edge 520 and was able to download maps to it. The space on the device is quite limited.
