Thoroughly enjoyed the Trilogy Challenge. Well thought out route with well positioned waterpoints. Was lucky enough not to get a lot of traffic on Klipheuwel. Definitely something that will grow in the future.
Entered the Trilogy race.
Neither rude nor a thief.

Done it at Geco Cycles Brackenfell. Put an add on Bikehub and Gumtree, direct buyer to view the bike at LBS and they can also answer any additional questions from the buyer. In my case the bike was originally bought and serviced by Geco, so they new the history of the bike. The buyer then contacted me, and we negotiate a price. Once agreed and funds cleared I informed LBS to release the bike. No additional fee to LBS, they bank on the buyer to become a return customer.
To add to the discussion: How do you date a bike that has been upgraded? I have a 2017 Spark 910 but drivetrain is 2022 XT 12spd. Is the frame date the overriding factor?
Try the D'Arcs Vantage, the nose piece is adjustable.

He reckons it's fairly common with Maxxis tires (Crossmarks in particular) when you're sealing them with Stans which delaminates some layers of rubber. He said the tire would have been covered by the warranty if it's less than a year old and had been sealed with Joes, but they won't replace them if you're using Stans. Didn't mention other brands.
I usually use Enduro or Dr. Sludge with no issues but I think the place that recently serviced my bike probably did use Stans.
He also said that I could poke it with a blade and let it seal up and it should be fine, which I did and it looks okay although I have noticed quite a few very small spots of moisture all around the tire which can only be sealant and probably means that it's on its way out.
There were few comments about the tire looking a bit knackered - looking back through my records I see that I bought the tire from Cycle Lab 10 months ago, so not sitting in the sun at the shop, and it has about 3500km on it now, mostly trails and a bit of road.
That might explain it?
Bike isn't exposed to the sun when not in use.It's 29".
I'll probably ride this one a bit more but I ended up buying another Rekon while I was there. Never had issues with the first few I had and I find them to be really good front tires, although I will have to remember to ask the LBS not to put Stans in it when I get a service.
Anyways, thanks for the comments and suggestions, much appreciated 👍
Been riding Maxxis with Stans sealant for years and this has never happened to me. But have a friend that had the same bubble issue on the last two sets of Maxxis Forekasters he had, not sure which sealant he's using.
Sounds like I might be better of just buying new device. The battery on my 520 is on its way out (lasts 4-5 hours) and been thinking of sending it to Garmin SA assessment and (hopefully) discount on a newer version.

They do custom lenses as well so can do (almost) anything you want.

The guy is only selling the fork for R3K, noting fishy about that imo.
Unless I'm missing something?
Still wearing mine

Just now, hagar said:Medium size 44 I think. I really liked the helmet.
Those were nice helmets.
I also have this Rudy Project helmet lying around if you want. It's a S/M but I'm also a medium and it fitted me nicely. It's more of a roadie helmet though.

Yea, that's the Flux. What size helmet do you use?

Uhmmm ... your special price now match the normal price at TotalSports. In fairness, your price is lower than some others advertising "20%" discount ....
Still waiting for discounts below the normal prices ....
Don't hold your breath. CWC/CL (and others) will probably inflate the RRP to make it "more attractive". I have learned to shop around first and compare prices before pulling the trigger when a deal seems too good to be true.

See attached pictures of the racks, not even within direct sight of the guard, especially when he's busy at the gate leading into the estate.
So what's the purpose of the bike rack in front of Bossa then?

Is it not connecting at all or dropping connection?
