Thermophage

What aboot if you make Frodo do the work?

Probably ONLY when mounted to a breakaway component. So helmet visor, not helmet not chesty, etc AFIK.

Yep it's gonna hurt...but that's kinda the point too

The term is "water dildo"...didn't you take note the other day.

Except these days he's more affectionately knows as Die Huishond

Yeah the Slates are apparently terrible. I recently replaced my Zee's with a set of TRP Quadiems and no chance I'd ever go back to Shimano. Once bedded in the power is comparable, but the control is far superior. And they are cheap! R3600 with a 180 and 160 rotor.

EXACTLY...DD for the back, not much use on the front, except maybe for DH or very big or aggressive riders.

Or more tyres in Double Down FFS

Meh, no mention of the actual casings tested. And that's an old test. So much has changed since then, esp with Schwalbe compounds, as well as Spez compound and tread pattern and introduction of the Black Diamond casing.

For sure. Have actively avoided going CRC in the last year or two for 2 main reasons. 1) SkyNet 2) A lot of local options are actual similarly priced such that it's not worth the effort.

Or continually pressure them whenever possible to return to using DHL. Order Fri morning, receive Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning.

Yeah they arrived about 10 working days after getting to Skynet and after multiple emails where I told them how poor their service was compared to how DHL was.

Butt...I only have 2 balls

So after avoiding CRC for a while, mostly because of the switch to Skynet, I needed rims and they were on good discount at CRC, so decided to test... Here's the timeline so far... 17 June - Shipped from CRC 18 June - Left UK 19 June - Arrived in JHB wait wait wait 21 June - Received customs forms from skynet 21 June - Completed and returned midday 24 June (this morning 08:30) - emailed to ask wtf is going on with invoice and whether the forms were filled in correctly for them (as had never dealt with them before and DHL had a diff system the few times I'd used them). As yet, no response and no invoice. Kinda feel they sat on their backsides a bit too long. DHL had such a rad system. You'd register with them once. Thereafter an email with a link to pay all duties, VAT and fees online and it would clear immediately. Non of this wait another 2 days after you paid the invoice BS. Come now Skynet, has nobody form your company taken this thread and what appears to be multiple complaints seriously...? let's hope they jack it up today and at the very damn least get me the invoice

740g tyre for enduro racing...? Is jy mal? Nobody in their right mind would run such a lightweight tyre, especially not in the rear. You'd rip a hole in it every race.

If the club would build a less steep Status Quo (although the gradient does exist) that would be amazing! And something less steep but which also forces speed control! It would go a hell of a long way to allowing serious riders to upskill for international level XCO events. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=463524004394504

Innit pronounced "angry fit"?

He said surfing...not speedbumping

Build upper body muscle. You'll fatigue less on a descent, be able to better man-handle the bike and have more protection when falling. Including strong core. If you can't L-sit or hollow sit for a decent time period your core is poo. Things like pushups even or holding a plank in a half pushup position will simulate keeping strong over the handlebars, etc. Also I have found recently, squats, walking lunges, static lunges, hamstring curls, etc have been a big help to overall pedalling fitness and muscle fatigue.

It has always been that way. The only recent change is to have Vasbyte as down only.

People have ears too you know. Both are looking out and obs. both will attempt to avoid an incident. Nobody want's to get hurt. You're scrolling back faaaaaaarrr

Yeah if you do the section of Pat's starting from below the noon gun you're in for a load of that as well and not as long and relentless as Pat's from High Level up

Not sure where that is. But I'll have you know...falling off the side on Pat's is not bad. Not nearly as bad as you anticipate.

Yes, yes they do. Those tings aint too tough

No way, Pat's is betterer than the Glen. Raw and natural and oft times scary!
