    1. Yes but you will fit a Csixx, Lyne components or Wolftooth aftermarket chain ring as these are compatible with both the new Shimano and SRAM Flat top chains. 2. Yes you can but you will have to change the derailleurs pulley wheels also to aftermarket or the old SRAM Eagle pulley wheels. Then you can use the Shimano chain with the X01 T-Type derailleur and your Shimano XT 12 speed cassette. If you opt to change the cassette you will have to change the freehub and you will have to use a SRAM Flat top chain because the rollers on these chains are slightly larger. You can use the old Eagle chains on the new T-Type cassettes but you cannot use the Flat top chaisn on the older Eagle 12s cassettes due to the roller size issue. Hope this makes your decisions a little easier

    actually it more about relieving the neck, shoulders and upper arms to engage the muscle groups differently. Your hands are still gripping a bar.

    The bottom of the mount area of the RideFarr aero bar is flattened it’s definitely not round unless they changed the mould

    That area is not round so if the light has a round handlebar clamp with a rubber band it will struggle to grip the mounting area tightly enough. I have that aero bar so I know what you’re asking. If you can replace the light handle bar mount with the older half moon and rubber band mount and use a small band to get enough tension to hold the light down

    Indeed , in this case it is better to be the one who consoles and listens to numerous replays of the crash and just nods with “yes dear “ , “oh my dear” etc snd end with “ have you considered this dear <insert subtle suggestion on what might have gone wrong without sounding like a know it all or mansplaining>

    That is always such a risk on the courses here in SA. The gap jump on Lombards Terra being a big accident scene over an XCO weekend if the wind is even mildly up

    Jumping is the skill that differentiates the field atm. If you’re struggling with the jumps You’re losing 5sec a lap that you have to pedal to make up. The aggressive positions don’t really have an impact because they can’t use a much more upright position due to the steepness of the climbs. So you either learn to jump with low bars or you have to give up oodles of time on the climbs.

    It is being planned. There are other cycling initiatives being planned around this WC event. Patience Paduwan don’t let your feelings betray you

    He’ll be 33/34 by then , would have to be very focussed on the objective id be looking at Tristan Nortje or Justin Chesterton, or maybe Alan and especially Luke

    But worth it

    I knew there was a reason why i gravitated to Luke using Andorra as a base. Visa requirements are less stringent which is what was swimming about in the bottom of my memory banks enjoy

    Have you trashed out some numbers ? If yes maybe there’s an opportunity. Your thinking is along the same as mine and I think Ciska may like to hear it too….

    Sorry, nothing to see here. This was not a situation where Pogacar was caught up in someone’s else’s crash. He crashed himself. A few weekends ago he crashed and and had to chase down the group for the win. No favours there , no favours in P-R it was a straight up fight.
