Anyone who says weight doesn't count has never ridden a 9kilo duel-sus before. There does become a point when it's a bit impracticable and starts to hinder your ability to ride downhill, but 9kilos is a good compromise. Granted, it's become a lot harder since manufacturers started going wider on rims and 120mm suspension, but still not impossible as 120mm is almost lighter than most of the 100mm we had available not long ago and 30mm internal width rims are way lighter than what was available even three years ago. All I'm saying is don't knock it till you've tried it. But dont try it, cause being a weightweenie is expensive and you wont go back.

It really was an incredible story, and the timing was miraculous as I was literally down to my last cents, having to win my last few races just to make ends meet. So am grateful that they looked after me through Rona. Could probably make for a pretty interesting book, haha. But yes, Giant has come along in leaps and bounds, the new Anthem is pretty incredible to ride and really up there with the popular brands at a much lower price point.

Thanks Renay for clearing that one up. And don\'t stress Shebee, I used to get emails asking about my \"latest triathlone win\" all the time, haha. But yes, different Stuart Marais.

I will always be grateful for what {type}DEV have done not only for me but all the other riders I have been privileged to call team mates. It has been a a fantastic journey, and even though my professional riding career has come to an end, i am stoked to see that their support lives on in Imbuko{type}DEV.

speak to @biketcoza he can probably help you out.

Hi Guys, i had a similar experience the other day. The problem is that they contact you via Wattsapp or phone you. So they don't necessarily have an account to block.

Anyone know what time on Supersport and what channel. Cant seem to find it, and would be a bit annoyed if they show a delayed version when they geo block it

Hey guys, Team {type}DEV Nanotime are running a competition on their social media pages, if you are interested go check it out. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CRqt7tEF7Ux/

I found some sunglasses leaving Van Galaans yesterday. If they yours and you can tell me details will help to reunite you.

put the alan key in, stand on the pedal and pull up. Easiest way to remove pedals. Works both sides

I tried the whole back a buddy thing as well, unfortunately used that card so cant really use it again and wasnt quiet as successful as I was hoping it would be

Been a constant struggle for as long as I've been racing. Thanks Stephen

Hello people of the hub So for those of you who don't know me contrary to my Hub name, my real name is Stuart Marais. I am one of the few pro riders left in South Africa and am basically at the end of my rope. I've had a fairly decent season having won over a third of the races I've done this year and podiuming at around 2/3rds of them in total with one of my better results being a 2nd overall finish at Sani this year with Matt Beers. So I don't totally suck at riding a bicycle. My reason for this post is, I need your help. My financial sponsors, the few that I could find, have not been able to carry on with me due to the economic climate we find ourselves in. It hasn't made life easy at all and I have literally, I am not over exaggerating on this, had to win every race I entered in the last 3 motnhs in order to just pay rent. I have approached all the teams in SA ( there are not that many) but they are either remaining the same or downgrading and I've cleaned out every savings account I had after been retrenched from my Engineering job 4 years ago and I am basically done, unless..... This is where I need your help, if there is anyone out there who could assist me or who would be keen to come on board and create a partnership going forward I would greatly appreciate it and would love to discuss the opportunity going forward, so please drop me a DM and i will gladly get in touch with you. Thanks for your time everyone and sorry for the begging for sponsors post but I hope you all will understand why.

Haha. Thanks man. I love this kinda thing so keep at ithe, love seeing other weight weenie projects. my hardtail will weigh around 7.5kg when I transfer the parts????

Been building it for nearly four years????
