Or: "Do they charge the battery when you're not pedalling?"

Ok, so we pull this thread into 2023. We have recently purchased ebikes and I am wanting to get a bike stand for services and cleaning. Any suggestion (other than Park) that will be strong enough to handle the 23-25kg bikes.

Crazy!

Mud Fest!!!!!

Interested to know how many Hubbers will be taking part in the Kwelera to Kei this weekend? Probably has the most "water" points per km than any other ride I am aware of. And the finish at Kei Mouth Country Club is just awesome.

Bought mine this weekend and it fits perfectly in the tool roll that fits snugly in the down tube "cubbyhole" on my TREK.

Olympic Cycles. Recently purchased at R290.00.

I'm surprised this got 146 comments! Bugger, now it's 147!😉

For me you can't beat the Shimano XT shifter, 11 and 12 speed. Coupled with an XT Derailleur, it shifts precisely and the added benefit of the multi shift up and down is great. We have one bike with an SLX shifter and it just doesn't compare with the XT. Cassettes we have XT, SLX on the 12 speeds, only really a weight difference. On the 11 speeds we have XT and Sunrace, Sunrace has the better spacing and works well with the XT components. I am not a SRAM fan, clearly. They seem to be quite "finniky".

Hard tail plenty for that amount Dual Sus a little less. I recently sold a well specced Scalpel for R25k.

Illness ....... Probably desperately trying to clear the system. Assuming he's guilty, of course!

True, usually caused by bleeding from the eyeballs!

So we started pretty much just after 05:00am. Vera's was our first stop and I had absolutely no feeling in my hands. Took off a glove and spent near 10 min trying to get it back on again. Gear shifting and braking was definitely not by feel.😀 Next stop we were caught by the 2nd team to finish and Yolanda was being interviewed and it was mentioned that she is not one to be seen in a tech zone. Her comment was "it's the worst I've been in". Anyway we were too far in to consider a bailout until Pakhuis. And that we did. Stopping in the middle would have been worse, there was nowhere to warm up. My thinking was that we had around 60+ km of misery still to go from Pakhuis and we were well behind any predicted time, Oh and I don't do this for a living, so we called it. All the best to those doing it this weekend, hope it's kinder to you.
