At least I can say that I ride a 36T most of the time. The fact that it is "so plat soos 'n pannekoek" where I live has no bearing on it. That is my story and I am sticking to it.
This is just insane. Mad respect to Matt

If you're out to smash PR's and attack Strava segments, a race-orientated hardtail would make more sense, for quite a bit else, this is the one to go for.
Awesome, thanks
Will the Cerberus work for long days in the saddle, mainly jeep track, etc. In other words: Will it be a more comfortable option for easy XC riding than the Drone? Or is the Cerberus squarely in the trail bike category?

The unexpected news from my surgeon dented my morale and, after surfing a wave of panic, I settled down and began to prepare as the operation was scheduled within 24 hours. Prognosis looks good. However, hou ma’ duime as my case discussion meeting with Doc Johan is only tomorrow.👨🏽⚕️
Every few days I shed a few bandages and plasters from the abrasions. Even my spare ribs are far less painful when I bounce around on the crutches. Just call me Wolverine. 🐺
Anti-inflammatory foods on my menu include: blueberries, beetroot, ginger, avocados, salmon, walnuts (and koeksisters, rehabilitation for the soul, of course). My daily morning coffee kisses the soul too as the recovery journey is physiological, psychological, spiritual and psychosocial. ☕🥑🫐
Thank you for all the messages. It has an energy in it that can either build or break. Appreciate the loving kindness in every note, gesture and joke. My online community truly rocks! 🫵🏽
Be safe out there, Peoples! 💟
Hope you heal up well!

Who are the new distributors of ONZA?
I loved the Canis tyres on my MTB, but then couldn't find them for a long time after the previous distributors didn't import them any more.

Have passed that little building in the middle of nowhere so many times recently but never inclined to stop ... today thought what the heck. Many from the souf or who have raced in the souf will know it I'm sure 😎
Not laughing at the pics, but the joke you are referring to.

If I remember correctly it also seemed that the team had their mind made up on what kind of rider they wanted with the men in the previous season. Kind of defeats the purpose of the finals of the academy.
But that is me without ANY expertise looking in from the outside. They sure look like they know what they are doing.

my late teens and twenties were spent in a haze of drugs and alcohol that nearly killed me, twice..
I got clean 7 years ago and started eating myself to 85kg, at my height that’s quite chubby..
A year ago I bought a mountain bike and started riding trails and on road for fitness.. I found myself spending more time on roads as driving to trails became a hack and time that could be spent cycling so I bought a gravel bike 6 months ago, which I almost exclusively ride road with and I love it..
I am actually very friendly despite my appearance and a generally happy and pleasant person..
Thank you for having me..!😉🤘🏻
Which one are you? 😄
Welcome and keep on enjoying the Hub!
The way things are building up, Friday will fire!

Gave it a 133km trial run .... VERY happy 👍👍
Now for the durability .... do know their tops are holding up nicely.
What is the verdict on the durability?
