  1. You lost me at Coolheat….😂
  2. Let your soul be your pilot indeed but as someone who has been or through the new bikalitis several times it’s a bit like falling for the well groomed super model everybody wants ( the marketing is that good) . Then the make up comes off ….. in this case I’d be going with my head for the Titan
  3. 10speed didn’t care about chain directionality
  4. Have you seen how dusty helmet hair is mate!?!” Alpecin, for that refreshed podium mullet “
  5. Perfect! So he’s next target is to tamed #untamed
  6. https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/dual-suspension-bikes/700838/titan-racing-cypher-rs-carbon-elite-large
  7. Deore CS M4100 could work but it’s was designed to work with a 2 x 10 system. You could just remove the inner ring as I don’t think the chain or rear derailleur can cope with the range of a 22 to 42 and a 42 to 11. not sure what crank you have but a 42 -28 would work nicely but you likely have to change the chainring mounting spider
  8. There’s a few titan cyphers in that price range 2nd hand
  9. These commentators related to Gerald? they managed to make one of the most exciting finishes of a one day classic look like a trip to the library
  10. Is that under exclusions ? If so then you need to shop around for a better all risks cover. Santam is no longer the leader. In fact I’m having several issues with santam, one that might go all the way to court
  11. That was the coverage broadcast around the world. I don’t think the producer has cobbled any other footage together that showed the entire chase. In the live broadcast there was a few more cut backs and forth between the Mvdp chase and the leading group but I don’t think the producers had any idea of what was goi g on till the MVDP group blew past the third group on the road. That’s when they got a wake up of what was actually unfolding.
  12. He broke away then got reeled in by a group of chasers. I think it was with 6km to go they had a 50sec gap to close and MVDP says to his group , “ hou mijn Amstel moeder knuekers” and sets off after the leaders who have started playing games with each other already. This was Alaphillipe and Fuglsang…. MVDP basically conducted a 5km TT to ride that 50sec gap into the ground. He’s clearly improved the length of his TT!!
  13. The trek is a the smallest Large in that group. That’s mostly due to its age than anything else. I don’t think it will be too small for you at all but it will require a 70-80mm stem to fit you which won’t go down well with the fashion police
  14. It’s postponed to the 21st now. Online entries will reopen this week. Just check the site regularly. The okes will only start damage assessment tomorrow when the weather lifts
  15. The Trek is the most versatile bike in the posted selection. The Pyga is nice but heavy and heavier than the Trek (which is also alloy I assume) Something to watch out for with the Pyga 110 29 alloy frames is that they crack on the seat tube below the top rocker link cradle. Make sure you insure the bike if you opt for it.
  16. 138seconds lead with 23.8km to go. They need to up their pace relative to MVDP by 6.8 sec per km to overhaul him
  17. Pedersen punctured?
  18. Froome who? last year Poggie broke his wrist(?) or was it forearm? Can’t remember but either way it took the edge off his Tour de France and Vingegaard walked it easily. If Poggie stays injury free will we see a 2020 rematch with Roglic or will another contender emerge?
  19. I’d like to think the designer had that sort of impact event in mind when they designed the helmet but… I’m glad it worked out well for you. I’ve seen some case where the visor breaks off and cuts the face or scalp. Those visors should be really soft plastic or rubber
  20. Yeah I mentioned that in my post. I was expecting the commissaires to issue a warning or neutralise that section of road but it doesn’t appear they did anything proactive about it. Was a road condition warning issued over race radio?
  21. 😂 no of course not, pips aren’t shaped that way so the inside is noggin shaped while the interface is closer to spherical.
  22. Spherical is a Bell/Giro patent. One shell floating over the other
