Brakepad

My fav. definitely https://www.sks-germany.com/en/products/speedrocker/ unfortunately in SA that stuff costs almost double than in Europe

I like their desperate positive thinking. They were not tested positive, they were tested "not negative"

have you looked at FRM ? https://frmbike.net/prodotto/gold-spirit/

I think Meezo took grip mounting to the next level. At a certain point of doing a back flip the logo is level , look at the photos later

Sidi alsi makes some nice wider shoes . They call it mega https://sidi.com/en/products/cycling/shoes/mtb-mega

A saddle is a very difficult thing to recommend . If you want to be absolute safe look for one which you can really test . On a 30 min ride almost all saddles are comfy.

Ottendorf is also a DHL parcel hub

depends on your proportions I'm 183 and ride a L feels great but I'm also on a very long stem, very close to a XL

where exactly is the pain ? front back left right of the knee? both the same?

had some assos, vermark , pearl izumi, giordana… but since the latest addition will nit touch them. its a 4mm thin padded bib from sqlab

low hanging branches are the only things where I found a visor handy otherwise they useless in my opinion

27 inch wheels are a lot stronger and I would not recommend rear suspension and what about a E-bike to start with ? helps you over the uphills, you have a bigger reach and gives you a wider choice on where to ride (depending where you based).Don't go for a cheapie you need some solid base. edit:forget about the ebike only read your budget now

looks like David Mercer made it

sounds very interesting but is it just 10 high passes or why is Sani pass (2867m) not on the list ?

There are also some 35 degree stems around (adjustable ones are not really for offroad use) or riser bars with up to 3-4cm of rise

If it is working you "Froome" up the hills, believe me .

I have been at a Giant shop lately asking for a demo bike . Giant has a couple of bikes and sends them to the dealers on request. So all you have to do is make a booking in advance.

Please make sure you use blue sealant then the kids can at least play with a smurf afterwards

I guess the racers use some kind of 2 way radio It depends a lot on budget , reach, how many participants... https://www.welovecycling.com/wide/2018/07/27/communication-in-the-tour-de-france-how-does-it-work/ When riding a stage, most of the riders are equipped with an onboard radio that weighs about 200 grams. In addition, team cars, which are often stuck behind their cyclists, need to be informed if one of their riders has crashed and where and if they are pulling away from the peloton in a breakaway or are riding alone. The race radio gives permission to these vehicles to break out of the procession order and speed up to catch up to the rider who needs assistance. Cars are not allowed to break out of the procession order – which is determined by team standings in the race – unless they are given clearance to do so. This clearance is usually given if a rider is in a breakaway with a lead of at least 1 minute over the peloton or a rider has crashed or is otherwise in need of medical assistance. Coming to the aid of a rider is less of a problem in the plains when the peloton is usually racing over multilane roads. However, it becomes quite difficult during mountain stages, when roads are often narrow and sinuous.

looks like the other crank arm is still on ? You are also not getting anywhere if this is the case

Debbie Stopforth/ Dynamic bike fit at the bike park in Constantia or The Gear Change in Mowbray would be my choice

tried the vinegar thing as well, must say it works extremely well but somehow it smells like an old age home ? can't stand it

Ja and maybe play some Mozart but not too loud just in the background whill your holy swiss lycra carefully dries

does anyone know what is happening 1.9km to the finish? It shows the dot of DS Dana Schutte resting there for over 10 hours ???
