Definitely not SA post 🤣🤣 I ordered AXS derailleurs and some other expensive stuff I wouldn’t have trusted them with 😅

I must also admit, lately I've been riding towards durbanville more than town/suikers/chappies. The gravel bike makes it a lot more enjoyable, and I feel much much safer that way. Riding through town is always a bit more stressful between the cars and the pedestrians that just don't see you and the runners hiding in the bushes as you go down suikers and of course the crime...

yup, ordered with them a few times no problem

No petition needed for my seeding ☺️😜

Eish

Are you on the local facebook groups ? Could be worth a share there (bloubergstrander, table view neighbours, surely there's a few melkbos groups as well. Would love to be able to take my family there for safe rides

Hopefully this year I get to go over red hill more than once

I gave away my entry but still got a number 😅 Weird thing is that number is pretty high although still in $ group, I don't think the guy I gave it away to qualify for that group but also I'm usually closer to single digits numbers. Who knows what's going with Finishtime's seeding, just hope they don't surprise me with CTCT seeding

no man, can't believe even BOA is now going to have negative posts on the hub 😅 not normal, BOA is usually bulletproof and they have the best customer support that ever existed. Problem in your case that it broke off on the shoe side, so it's not a case of they send you fresh parts and you can easily put them on yourself, this will take some shoe repair magic...

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

it's a mavic hub

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

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

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 😒

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 ?

It's that lockring that holds brake rotors in place

Hello ! I’m desperately looking for a centerlock ring if anyone has one catching dust in their garage.

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 😢

Luckily I did not get a medal 😜

🙈

No man she’s had the worst luck the past couple of years, can’t believe it.

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

Agree, sometimes when weather is really *** I actually hope for cancellation rather than "having to" race in the mud and mess my whole bike 😅

The group slowed down for the climb ? That's usually when things get interesting (and by interesting I mean slightly uncomfortable)

except if it's the cycle tour, then he drives his car at a speed those who can't trackstand fall over
