  1. I read on Honeycomb social media that Pritzen is ill. Possibly a heart condition, which they need to investigate further. 😔
  2. As mentioned, fit the helmet to see if it pairs well with your head. Fit it with your glasses. I find it annoying if my glasses are touching/hitting my helmet. Also check if the helmet retention buckle at the back/sides interfere with your sunglass arms. I prefer a proper forehead pad inside the helmet, as it keeps more sweat out of eyes. Helmet needs good ventilation to reduce amount of sweat into eyes.
  3. Nothing updated on her athlete facebook page/strava since last year august.
  4. Marc Pritzen abandoned the race this morning.
  5. That looks like AI/Photoshopped! 😂 Especially mixing Sram and fox...
  6. How long till commentators realise that the pyga team dropped from the chasing bunch. So Imbuko making time in the african jersey category.
  7. Nope, pay and ride to enter the tour de france of mountain biking
  8. I wonder how that stuff up happened. Pros too fast or back markers too slow?
  9. Oi, what happened to Honeycomb today?
  10. I am following. Grizl or revolt are shouting at me. Both can be fitted with 50mm tires when needed.
  11. Interesting that the circle of complaints about the high prices continues as predicted. Yet more companies in the bicycle industry are downscaling and restructuring. Is there not a correlation between the circle of complaints from consumers and the current stance of the bicycle industry?
  12. I tried drinking water from a metal bottle once. Water tasted like rust. I also could not squeeze it to hydrate myself quickly enough. This can cause severe dehydration, so opted to rather use my plastic bottles/bidons going forward. I shall add the chemicals in plastic bidons to the list of things that are killing me slowly. 🙂
  13. Hahaha do not ask these questions in this thread. You (and many other incl me) are not the target market of a R295k mtb. We should stand in awe of the tech on the mtb and see it as the super superbike of the bicycle world, It is still cheaper than a Ferrari, so we should be thankfull. 🤩
  14. Does the R295k include the home solar system to charge all the bikes' electronics during loadshedding?
  15. I tried the hot waxing for a few months, but I am back on smoove lube. Hot waxing is definitely a smoother and cleaner experience, but for me it became too much of a hassle, especially when doing more than 150km per week. I did however only have one chain, so rotating of multiple chains will probably work better. I also found that with the hot waxing, I could hear the drivetrain getting more noisy after about 130km, so that would mean I have to wax the chain prior and after every weekend. I became too lazy, so the drivetrain was noisy for longer periods compared to using smoove.
  16. I would rather remove the plug and patch the tire from the inside using a normal tube patch and cement. I have had a plug that popped out on my road bike. If that happens on route (or if patching is not an option), as last resort just put in a tube.
  17. I hope Matt goes well in the Epic. For some reason though, I want him to beat Mr Keegan Swenson at the lifetime grand prix events! That would be Epic...

    There was a moment of hesitation from the group when pog attacked. Probably thought he was mad to attack so far out. Once the gap was more than 30s, no one had the legs to pull him back. Was a war of attrition up to that point.

    They couldn’t

    I have new respect for the pros racing in these conditions. With wind chill the temp was around 3 degrees C for the whole race. Not very pleasant at all.
  21. I still cannot get my head around the numbers these "semi pros" are pushing.
  22. I must say, i have a sensitive stomach which tends to “burn”, especially after hard races. But, even with 12 scoops, the race pro was quite easy on my stomach, which I liked.
