Brakepad

quite a few didn't make it through the night ... has anyone info on that ?

your supplement/drink dissolves in water so if it's the drink you can only/easily wash it off with water, degreaser etc. doesn't help. If water doesn't work, it's something else

stand on a piece of paper and outline your foot, measure the widest part and then measure your shoes. If you have a high arch normal insoles don't work, get some with the right arch support If your feet have a tilt to the outside all pressure is on the outside, get some shims or wedges to correct if none of the above, play with cleat position or other pedals, thinner socks, tighten shoes less....

They have a promotion for free shipping on the intl. website. not aware of an importer in SA ??? if it's for MTB (with 22,2mm clamp) look at SQ Lab Innerbarends, they are available in the country. Got mine from Sprocket & Jack in Randburg

maybe your cleat position is slightly different (cleat further out ? but anyway, the broken one needs to be replaced

The other option is to courier the battery or the whole bike. I have done this with Fedex from SA to USA a few month ago(Battery only) and the quotes were astronomically except Fedex they were just high....

looks like the days are gone when you could have your bike fixed at Knipe Racing inside Merendaal and hop on the trails right after a bike fit at Irmfit. Looks like the "normal people" bring in more money . Cyclists are not welcome anymore just tolerated on the trails..... The owner is Herman Coertze ,look him up on FB etc.

The rack needs to be attached to the top /crown of the fork otherwise you will run into trouble sooner or later. your options might be: change to rigid fork, live with bad suspension/shortened lifespan or stay below 2-3 kg

I ride there alone, 2-3 times a week(also annual pass , never heard anything never saw anything. Often have a quick chat at the ticket caravan(nothing mentioned there either) was there today with I think 3 other riders in the morning at the most. Where can you ride where it's safer ?

I can make you one for black E-bikes only. for 200 rand more😎

Are you talking about the "crawling in the mud at minus degrees and drag a bike along" event? Man are these guys and girls tough, I'm hooked watching them

Blind test on a downhill track 🤨 That's next level

Hobson saddles from USA are designed for that problems. I do not have own experience but heard good things from people who had strict orders from doctors not to apply any pressure in the perineum area . Hobson Seats - Hobson Seats

could be overuse "injury' maybe your foot alignment(horizontal) and or q factor is out or at least on the edge

if pain is more in the calf - achilles area it's mostly saddle too far front or cleats/ foot position foot too far back

Do you need the original ? It's just clear leather cream , check Cycle touring or any tack shop (horse saddles are pretty much in the same need as your brooks saddle)

if you go with 3mm spacers just make sure you have enough thread left in the crank arm

stoker is fully in the slipstream. Don't you know it's at least 30% less effort than facing the wind ?😄

If not a complete bicycle the invoice must state each component with code and country of origin. good luck getting a shop to do that for you

Gloworm if you really want a quality light. Best light output I have ever seen and really waterproof all brackets (bike and helmet) included...

I'm pretty sure Trump is involved

my Head lamp weighs 69 g. and the battery pack is either in the back pocket , strapped to the arm or in a rucksack dependent on the activity . at 700Lumen it runs for the whole night (about 10 hours). Why carry batteries on the head?

A gift voucher is King. Either from you for a second hand or from a shop if he might have mentioned a favourite brand etc?

I use a few drops of vinegar on hot days

It is important to have as little pressure there as possible or even none. A flat saddle shape that is wide enough to cover your sit bone width is essential
