That is HOT

Hey guys, I am looking for a set of Shimano 10 speed road shifters that are in good working condition I am also looking for a Shimano 9 speed MTB rear derailleur that is in good working order if anyone has anything lying around gathering dust? Willing to pay for them obviously.

Thanks man, but already have 2 frames, an Orbea 26" and a Raleigh 650b, to choose from, just need to decide which will be best for the build, at the moment I am keen on doing to Orbea but not sure if it might be a little big

Finally getting a frame to do a monster build, so now the hunt is on to find some parts.... Anyone know where I might be able to find some Avid BB7 or TRP Spyre calipers? And some 10 speed Shimano road shifters?

Looks awesome man, well done!

Trax is WP dude, you should know this....

Trails are looking much better, there is hardly any mud anywhere and the guys have done a lot of work cutting grass, there is still a LOT of work that needs to be done, but the trails are looking much better

How is the mud situation at Modders lately? Want to try do a long ride from home to Modders later but hesitant because the mud last time was just crazy

Mercer bikes Hungry Monkey or King Dong

For my first "full" year of cycling, not to bad

I am super bummed about the curfew times, I was going to be doing a ride on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 04:00 till 05:30, now that is no longer an option, I start work at 07:00 so I don't really have any other time to go out, after work the traffic is dangerous so don't really want to risk that, and I don't have an IDT, so I am pretty much stuffed, weekend rides only for me now ????

Failed dismally, lost weight overall, but still 5kg above my goal, but at least it is still a step in the right direction

You can use SRAM quick links on the Shimano chain

Short 25km ride today, at Thaba, so it felt like 100km to me, that place destroys me everytime, but I won't stop going back there

My derailleur makes a grinding noise like that when it gets to dirty, dust/sand gets trapped between the cage and jockey wheels, also only makes that grinding sound when riding on the big rings at the back. I used to wash and lube those wheels after every ride but found the lube was attracting dirt and causing the problem, now I stripped the cage, cleaned everything and put minimal lube on, touch wood it has been good for my last couple rides

A little ride in the hood

And built with a Nissan motor and chassis

That, and the fact that they spend a LOT more time maintaining the walking trails, when I was there on Tuesday at the area the Park Run is hosted, all the grass has been cut, new trees are being planted etc, but from what I saw on the Yellow MTB loop, there has been pretty much zero maintenance, except for the last fast singletrack I will continue to ride there though when it dries up a bit, it is close to where I stay and if I feel like a long, for me, ride I can ride from home, do a loop and ride back home

And the Renault Kangoo

But on the other hand, they do far more maintenance on the running/walking/hiking trails than the MTB trails

Got a brand new 29" 2.5 DHF if you are keen? Never been used

Hahaha, thanks guys, appreciate the encouragement, have to admit, it was a little tongue in cheek at the time, but just hopped on the scale now and I am back over 100 November was a bad month, both my wife and I just feel a little burnt out so the amount of take aways and junk food has been ridiculous, and to add to that I did VERY little riding in November as well, but we will bounce back, I am on leave now so have lots of time to go ride, hopefully I can still make my goal of 95 by the end of the month

It is a bit worse than normal there, but nothing like the above section

This morning

You mean this section? It is all still very rideable, it just depends on if you kind getting dirty and soaking your shoes
