Howzit Ja, I check in here every now and again, but rarely comment, suppose it's like my cycling these days, sporadic at best... Hope you are well? I must come and see your shop sometime!

As long as the hole count of the hubs matches the hole count of the rims, I don't see any reason why this can't work.

Yup, my boys started out on one of these, then on to a balance bike, skipped the training wheels and straight onto big boy bikes. Now my eldest doesn't ride a pedal bike anymore, he has a 125 MX Bike.

No, Mike. Not sure what his place was called. Was a few years ago. I’ve DMed the number to Sampaj

What area are you in? I had a Lynskey frame fixed by a guy that had a workshop at Rand Airport. Not sure if he’s still there but can share his number.

Beautiful Highveld morning!

New work...? You no longer at Honda?

You've been pedaling a bike a bit, saw some pics of you out riding with Jay and his family.

See it's set up as a SS, did you ride the Munga SS?

I once bought him a coffee after recognizing him in the coffee queue at the 24 hour at Rietvlei from his shoes that used to be part of his profile pic, or one of his skating pics. After that we chatted from time to time, until he passed. RIP Tumbles.

Excuse my ignorance, but what makes a Tri Bike different that it needs a specialist mechanic? Except for geometry, different saddles and tri-bars and shifters, the mechanics of the bicycle remain the same as a normal road bike? Am I missing something?

RIP

1st post on a cycling forum to ask What is the best mx bike... Ok, I'll bite. You are going to get a number of responses, based on each persons' opinion and personal experience. Based on results in the SA MX racing scene, it would be tough to argue that KTM is not the best, with championship wins in most of the contended classes for the past few years.

You've always posted nicely composed pics, but were always camera shy, these days you post a lot more selfies, albeit still "hidden" behind your shades...!

I bought one of these this weekend. The flow rate isn't great (45L per minute), so you won't seat a tubeless tyre with it, but that's what I have a compressor for, this is quite lekker for adding air to the bicycle tyres, trailer tyres, etc. I have a few of the 20V Ingco tools, I must say for the price point and the type of use I have for the tools, they are good value for money.
