    Either 32GI Endure or 50/50 water and Energade when I am out on the bike, on the IDT I just have water

    Just message and find out, it is a brand new bike donated by a shop, so they may be able to get the XL, if there is stock anyway With the Scott Spark I would say rather look at the 960, that has Shimano Deore groupset, compared to the 970 which has SRAM SX which is just kaka

    I am running a 105 lever with a 3x MTB front derailleur, it works well, every now and then it will "overshift" going to the big ring and the chain comes off, but for the most part it works well enough

    Their prices have gone up drastically, I got a quote last year November, came to R19k with either DT 350 hubs or Hope hubs, in January it was up to R26k, really wish I took the plunge last year ????

    South Industries?

    I take it you have a long level to make sure the ground your car is parked on is level as well, before fitting and leveling your bike rack? Otherwise this is just a waste....

    Same, wanted to get to 75km, but when I got to the top of AG Dewit (Fishers Hill) I had had enough ????

    There are a couple more big hills in quite close proximity that you could add in if you ever feel like you need to punish yourself for whatever reason

    Looks like you did Sylvia's pass? That thing is the devil ????

    Just a chilled solo ride this morning, was so lekker..... Was really really disappointed that the little coffee trailer I have been wanting to try at meadowdale was not there this morning ☹

    Rapide Tigre frame? https://www.rapide.co.za/product/rapide-tigre-29-ht/

    I would drill it as well, the only problem I see with drilling it though, those holes are not straight, and it is going to be pretty difficult making a new hole at an angle like that

    Maybe you guys can guide and coach me along one day ????

    The first one was horrible, but the legs are still fresh, the last climb just felt never ending, now that I know it though, next time wont be so bad, I stopped for a breather two times climbing it, but it was so near the top, next time I will just mash my way up, and maybe fit a bigger granny gear ????
  16. Chadvdw67
    That last climb ???? I had heard its crazy, but wowzer, that was intense, what a ride though, it was well worth the effort and suffering, also saw quite a lot of game which is always nice. I would assume they are open, but would maybe phone first and make sure

    947 Ride Joburg

    Chadvdw67 replied to The Ouzo's topic in Events

    Rode at Suikerbosrand this morning, seriously questioning whether entering 947 was a good idea after the ride ????????

    It may not be the Cape, but GP also has some beautiful places to ride....

    947 Ride Joburg

    Chadvdw67 replied to The Ouzo's topic in Events

    AA start bunch for me, curious to know how they know my drinking habits....? ????
  22. Chadvdw67
    I thought I was going to die the last time I rode at Thaba, that place has some proper technical riding

    Obviously talking about the rim inner width hey? It is something that annoys me to no end, I see LOTS of people/companies say inner diameter instead of width, has me face palming often
  24. Chadvdw67
    Glad she is with someone who can actually use her, very disappointed that it didnt work out with me, it is an amazing bike
  25. Chadvdw67
    100%, I did not clarify that well, if you ise the stock chainring, to save on costs, you would need to keep the front derailleur, if you get a narrow-wide chain ring, you could probably loose the derailleur as well, but being a non clutch type derailleur, it would maybe be safer to keep it on, or get a nice neat proper chain guide
