  1. so what now ? Must we try the cycle path again ? Seems there's now more attacks on the n1 than on the cycle path lately
  2. Splits everywhere, hard to understand how many breakaway there were but apparently Tristan was always up there, then Gibbons caught and there was the two of them until Gibbons checked out
  3. I think it’s more a case of wrong end cap than spacing behind the freehub because once the wheel is on the wheel freewheels no problem I can also backpedal, but the cassette/body just won’t move forward
  4. Those are too far, I have a decent shop nearby, I’ll probably take it to them if I can’t find the solution myself, I took that freehub appart multiple times and tried a few things without success, and YouTube I only find tutorials with quickrelease I don’t think it applies to my problem… so yeah…unlikely that I find the solution 😒
  5. Just picked up my bike from a nation wide famous bike shop, and as I sort of expected when I dropped it of just before xmas, half of the stuff isn’t done right, but as I don’t believe they actually have a clue, I’m not going to bother taking it back. So here’s the main problem I can sort out on my own, I already had it in the past when I swapped the current 11spd freehub for a microspline, and now that it’s back to the original freehub I get the same problem. It’s impossible to get the freehub/cassette turning once the wheel is on the bike and the axle tightened. My LBS fixed it in 5 mins last time but I didn’t dare ask how. Apparently it was some bearing preload issue ? Should I pursue it on my own or just be patient and have an actual mechanic look at it ?
  6. It's that lockring that holds brake rotors in place
  7. Hello ! I’m desperately looking for a centerlock ring if anyone has one catching dust in their garage.
  8. Long shot, but has anyone tried 3d printing those Specialized aerofly cable covers by any chance ? I broke one and it fell off on the road and it looks impossible to buy them locally 😢
  9. Luckily I did not get a medal 😜
  10. 🙈
  11. No man she’s had the worst luck the past couple of years, can’t believe it.
  12. They fixed potholes on the section from N7 to intersection with Contermanskloof road last week. I'm not in a hurry for them to reopen that road, it's quite lekker to ride there at the moment
  13. Agree, sometimes when weather is really *** I actually hope for cancellation rather than "having to" race in the mud and mess my whole bike 😅
  14. The group slowed down for the climb ? That's usually when things get interesting (and by interesting I mean slightly uncomfortable)
  15. except if it's the cycle tour, then he drives his car at a speed those who can't trackstand fall over
  16. he was also at killarney on thursday

    CSA / gravel

    Interesting thanks, ok I only did one in that series and it was my worst result so makes sense 😅

    Curious to know what race was WP gravel ?
  19. Jeepers people are way too comfortable bashing other people online these days... I haven't always been happy with Evobikes, the only time I was unhappy wasn't even their fault although I would've appreciated some help from them, but Thieves ?? nonono that's straight up diffamation
  20. use 3 secs power, and see how that looks. I never use anything less that 3s power
  21. yeah, can't really see how this can be done without internal information.
  22. Karma
  23. no, I'm planning on going on my own for that one
  24. My comment was about peninsula rides, lots of idiots turning around in blind corners to take photos (or Ubers to drop tourists on a hiking spot, I almost hugged a car like that on my way down from the cable car in that upper hairpin..), then pulling out of wherever they parked withtout checking first, or angry people hooting and swearing at you for riding abreast even if both riders are left side of the yellow line.... Should I mention the usual pedestrian looking your way but still proceeding to jump off the pavement on the road right in front of you ? Nah that's not a summer thing, that all year long !
