Sweet, thanks Ncayi! Hopefully see you on the road soon then.

Thanks, Nico - appreciate the advice!

Sheesh, you okes are selling it hard!

Hi guys I'll be moving up to the Big Smoke come 1 August and was wondering about the riding in Johannesburg. Initially, I'll be staying with family around the zoo lake area - at least until we find our own spot near a school and not too far from the office. Are there any roadie group rides around there? Or groups that do a spot of gravel riding over weekends? Thanks in advance!

Nom de plumes are powerful things

Thanks @PhilipV, appreciate the advice!

Ah, thanks man, this helps!!

Hi guys I'm from PE and will be heading to Hermanus for the upcoming school holidays. We'll be staying with Skoonma, so I plan on hitting the road a fair bit. Not knowing the area at all, I was hoping to get some advice on nice / safe road and/or gravel spots to try. Thanks in advance!

This is great, thank you @MORNE !! I might just hit you up when I get stuck into the build;)

Hi Morne, thanks for the detailed response and good advice!! Will def check out the links you sent - glad there seems to be a solve!

Thanks Thomo, very helpful!

Hi guys I currently ride an old steel stallion with an Ultegra R8000 groupset. I've been toying with the idea of getting a gravel bike and due to budget constraints I thought of keeping the groupset and just getting a new frame and wheels. The frame I've been eyeing, however, is fit for a disc brake setup, so my question: can one somehow convert the current shifters to still trigger disc brakes? Would mechanical vs hydraulic make a difference [sorry if this is a stupid question - I'm typing with ten thumbs here...]? Thanks! R

Nighttime outside the window and daytime outside the door.

Not sure if this has been posted before, but came across it this AM, and had a blast watching it. Obree seems like such a decent fella too...

I stand under correction but think it was directed by the same dude that did Crank...

Not normally my vibe, but the intro made me smile.

Thanks man! Just need to find a black seatpost that fits. Will snap some more pics tonight. Ja, they'll need some adjusting – I don't ride fast enough to justify being in the drops

Just finished this project. Quite happy with the outcome.

Very well said, me thinks!

Came across Godless the other day. About three episodes in (they're looong) and really enjoying it! Also watched a trailer for Norsemen today–looks hilarious–anyone watched it yet?

Spotted this the other day and recognised a good few people! Guess that's a PE thing Man, I miss the place!

Yeah, I buy that reasoning. Cheers!

I'm curious, do you know the science behind this? Not saying the water doesn't help in the crisping process, just weird as the most successful recipes I've tried all entailed packing coarse salt onto the scored skin for a good few hours prior to cooking (and in some cases even cooking it with the salt).
