  1. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/elite-qualifying-results-from-the-val-di-sole-dh-world-cup-2024.html Live timing of teh DH qualies and semi. Looks like Pompon is back on form.
  2. This is such a great sport. More and more i find that anything else, F1, Moto X etc pales into insignificance compared to this. You can buy a bike imagine your a WC racer going down DH 3 and then watch them do it properly. Yeehaa.
  3. He came 45th in the semi-final so didn't make the cut. It was a brilliant race. Bruni in a class of his own.
  4. Can confirm that they do indeed do a lifetime warranty.
  5. What is that strange appendage top center?
  6. Aren't all bib wearing roadies exhibitionists? MTB riders should have baggies on over their see through bibs anyway.
  7. episodes are coming thick and fast as the TDF approaches 🙂
  8. Can you ever rely on a merchants website reviews of their own product? Maybe an independent retailers site might be a better place to look.
  9. Went over my head 🙂
  10. Nope, everyone gets it on this channel, especially the old dopers now involved with teams where athletes break doper records from years ago and are supposedly "clean".
  11. That and paying back all their earnings while riding like doped rats
  12. Another option is the Rapide hub. 28/32, sound good and mine has been very reliable
  13. That doesn't even happen to me with my 75mm bars. Mine are right yours are wrong 🙂
  14. How long is a piece of string. I run 75mm rise bars on my enduro bike. It looks funny but I don't care because I'm tall and the head tube is stupidly short. It all depends...
  15. I also noticed the Oukaaps issue when driving over there recently. Other roads also develop similar problems- eg Rhodes Drive and doubtless others. There is much that could be done to improve safety of sporting cyclists and commuters alike in CT.
  16. https://www.globalcyclingnetwork.com/racing/news/miguel-angel-lopez-banned-for-four-years-for-menotropin-use I raise you a 4 year ban!
  17. A classic from the Bike Hub classifieds. What the actual ...

  19. True - all they've done is mention on their insta that the events are taking place at x and y venues. The XCO and DH coverage is pretty good, perhaps better than RBTV, I think. In stark contrast to the XCM
  20. Its amazing how poor the coverage is of the XCM. I wonder if they'll even put out a highlights video?
  21. Motor doping has reared its head again. Ghost in the Machine podcast on Spotify is delving into it. I blame eBikes. 🙂
  22. You cant really compare G Spot to JH. It has hardly any gradient and relies on smoothness to carry speed through the berms and jumps. JH's trails are all technical single track ranging from the easiest Never Ending Story to the steepest hardest like The Plumber. Red Phoenix lies between these extremes, has high speeds, berms and small jumps lower down. Parts of lower Armageddon section have more of the same berms and jumps. The upper parts of Armageddon and Iron Monkey are very technical. If you just want to ride smoother faster terrain you can tailor your ride to exclude these sections and save yourself a lot of climbing in the process. JH is as close to riding steep Euro terrain as you can find in SA. It would be awesome if there was a lift or shuttle service. Its the kind of place an eBike makes huge sense.
  23. Agreed, I'm getting bored after watching 4 or 5.
