    Maybe have a look around in the classifieds. This is the first one that popped up: https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/rear-derailleurs/476783/shimano-xt-rear-deraileur-m786 Hope you get it sorted soon!

    South African snakes don't hibernate, they only become a lot less active. Chances are that you will still come across snakes in winter. They brumate - https://www.africansnakebiteinstitute.com/articles/snakes-and-hibernation/ (Not trying to pass myself as an expert, but when we moved to the Lowveld I had to quickly learn a lot about snakes, as we regularly have snakes in/outside our yard.)

    Are they adding comments to the classifieds? I hope the maintenance goes smoothly, thanks for the heads up!

    I think there is a couple of threads about insurance that you can search. I insured my mtb with my house insurance and specified it. The cost was a lot cheaper than insuring the bike on its own. Just make sure about the fine print regarding coverage for the different examples you mentioned. A good broker should be able to help a lot.

    Can't be, if it was, he would have had the correct gearing

    I don't know who is more excited that you are back on your bike - you or the Hub that can enjoy your excellent pics!

    I see there is a size chart on the website

    Looks like Frosty is guarding against overtraining

    I got the Mirage bib. After the comments on the Vye thread I went a size larger and it looks like it was the correct decision. Must say the box is a nice touch - but pizza would be even better :-)

    New bib day! Looking forward to try it out. Quality and packaging look top notch.

    I had a set of Onza Canis tyres that lasted well over 5000 km without any issues. When I wanted to replace them there was no stock available (I now know why). Currently have Schalbe Rocket Rons on my bike, but I see they won't last nearly as long. Any recommendations on XC tyres that can give similar mileage to the Onzas? I mostly ride dirt roads with some (not a lot) technical sections thrown in. TIA

    Nothing of value to add from my side, but Brandsen is a fitting surname for a firefighter!

    Thanks for all the info in this thread! It helped me to make up my mind. I ordered a vye bibshort today - looking forward to use it.

    Thank you for a good review, I enjoyed reading it!

    That is a nice shot and shot!

    Hi skycolour213, I believe it would be best to check on the different manufacturers websites for their sizing charts. There you will see if a specific frame is the correct size for you. Getting the correct size frame is very important and it will save you from a lot of issues down the line.

    New saddle day. My Phenom Comp broke a rail and I had to replace it. With all the rain here I didn't see a pothole and went straight through it. Replaced it with a new Phenom. Luckily my back wheel is still fine (for now). While I was there I bought new cleats and gloves. Hopefully I am set for a while.

    Looks like 80% is used a lot around you on the forum?

    Hasn't happened to me while riding/stoping. I had some pairing issues with my HRM before, but before rides, not during.

    Is there a way to give auto likes to all of 'Dale's pictures? Stunning pic as always

    Have you tried testers from a different brand? I am a long time user of contact lenses and some brands are a lot more comfortable than others.

    Thanks a lot - exactly the feedback I needed! I must replace my back wheel in the near future and the Rapide wheels are at the top of my list.
