It was clear as day during the prologue that some riders had not worked on their trail skills .... The few Hubbers that dared to point this out was asked to provide their Epic CV or to rather stay silent. 🤣 Respect and kudos to the Sani2C team for actually reaching out and raising the skill level of prospective riders 👍

Uhmm jaaa ... OR, consider the following. The organisers WANT to upskill people to the point where they can actually enjoy their Sani2C. Good on them for doing something to up the skill level. PS - yes, I know one of the coaches of yesterday's session.

Jip, got barely more than 12 months out of the 16", 20", and then the 20" each ...

This is a good option, and well inside your budget. As much as I am a Titan Racing fan, their 16" bikes seems outside your budget.

On second thought ....

@vanessakrige sorry for your loss. Pictures may help. Dont stres if you cant figure out how to load it, we can assist with this. As @Lynskey said, if we know in which province you are, that may just make it easier to help you.

Arrested Bail denied Few hours later "case thrown out" (sorry for the laymans terms) ... must be tried as civil rather than criminal .... last few pages are trying to figure out WHY ....

What delightful Friday response 🤣

Which year model ? Not sure if the charger actually changes, but the connector do change every so often. My 2019 charger , and same second charger, both are working perfectly.

Hiehie .... well this comment did not age well 🤣

Jong ..... as mense maar gelees het tot die einde ...

THAT must explain my long string op PB's today .... 🤣

Blank off the grips ... and many wont be able to identify the one from the other .....

I was next to Doc Craven this morning. What a stunning morning to ride. By midday it was quickly heading to mid 30's ... Dankie @SilverRider & @Scary Rider

Certainly a LOT of pro roadies now going for serious down angles. But their reasoning is markedly different to MTB ....

Saddles do have a live time. I had the same issue in December/January with my HT (my long distance road bike) .... Turns out the saddle had sagged in the middle. NO, you dont see it. But as soon as you sit on it, you sag into it like a soft couch .... causing all kinds of issues. The irony is it happens so gradually that you dont realise it, until it starts hurting .... Sure, tilting the heck out of it means you end up sitting on the front .... which is not ideal either. Took a few tries to get the right saddle ..... After many years on Sella Italia I now love the Fizik on the HT. Well worth popping in at Irma (IrmFit) and have a bike fit done.

Have a look at the DC Rainmaker videos on the Forerunner 265 .... and by all accounts just the start of what can be done with AI. This seems to be one of the key differences between the lower tier modern watches and the "higher end sports focused" watches.

Are you saying the Hub's own keyboard warriors are not up to the task of mass coaching ?

I have been watching a LOT of DC Rainmaker recently. He is talking about this in his recent videos .... a digital clone of you .... advice tailored to you ....

The 2024 model is same as yours @Mongoose! The integrate headset cabling and downtube storage is on the 2025 models. Also glad I got the 2024. In fact that is why I walked away from the Merida ... integrated cables. @Mongoose! do you still use the D-shape post ? I wanted to put another post in mine to see if it stops the creak, but my spare posts are different diameters.

Media suggests he was arrested for ONE case, the amount hinting at @Belinda Roxburgh case. Thus the aledged Specialized issue is not part of this arrest.

Catch 22 ... He was arrested on ONE charge. The court may ONLY consider that ONE charge. Which is why I made the previous comment it is "easy enough" to wiggle out of a single charge .... you need to find a "technicality" and then wiggle out of it. BUT, as was pointed out in reply to my previous post .... linking too many cases causes a "paralysis by analysis" situation where it becomes an endless spiral to tie all the cases together. The legal system (not just in SA) has developed to the point where it has become incredibly difficult to prosecute these cases. Disclaimer - comments from the school of hard knocks, not legal training.

Can somebody please confirm the battery compatibility between : 2019 Giant ebike and a 2023 Liv ebike The Liv is in Joburg, so I cant physically check it myself ...

Where are you ? In the Western Cape I would recommend a session with Irma, IrmFit. Having paid the schoolfees of buying an undersized bike .... it is a pretty expensive exercise

Might be of some to add or remove from your list - My choice came down to the Merida vs the Giant, because there are the two mid specced bikes with 2x gears. Specifically as you note, you want more top speed, but you also want that granny for the steep ones .... The Merida came in a bland black .... and the integrated cables (going through the headset and bearings) is not my cup of tea. The Revolt in that gold/copper just spoke to me the first time I saw it. I am a Titan fanboy ... but you need to go up in price before finding a decent 2x in Titan. Their mid-spec bikes are 1x.
