@Lynskey Pic of the Velobrien covered saddle here: https://www.instagram.com/p/8YJR9evfyf/?igshid=MWZjMTM2ODFkZg== I'll check if I can find a better one.

Your memory holds up @DJuice! Velobrien did mine and it came out 👌👌👌 https://instagram.com/velobrien?igshid=MWZjMTM2ODFkZg==

Vye makes for quite a few athletes I'm aware of. www.vye.co.za sales@vye.co.za

My entry is in!

Some great trails on Muratie! 👌

That is a killer color! By far my favorite in the range. Congrats and give it sticks out there!

First things first, I work for Titan Racing. Proudly so. I also work for Vye Cycle Kit which is also a proudly South African company - must give you the chills to read about two SA brands in one post! It's been firmly established elsewhere that you have no qualms, and pretty much go out of your way to bash SA brands at every opportunity - now THAT'S loyalty! Or consistency. Or petty. Not sure. I mean, it's one thing to state your preference but to ACTIVELY spend time to drag a brand down at every opportunity takes some doing. That's not stating a preference or giving sound advice, that's just bashing for the sake of it. Maybe I'm just stupid, but I also rooted for Morewood and Momsen. And Pyga and csixx and South and Lyne and everyone else crazy enough to take on the might of the dollar and bulk manufacturing to do their own thing here in sunny South Africa.

Please point me toward the team that raced the 2018 Scott Spark at the 2023 Cape Epic.

Was going to offer to come and pick you up and drop you off wherever, but unfortunately, I will be away on those dates.

Hi, and an early welcome to sunny South Africa. Which day are you planning to go to Cape Point?

Was about to say this. Look at Stan's NoTubes. Their rims are light and durable for a fraction of the cost of carbon.

One more day to go!

In reply to your question: get the biggest one. I had a Euroway and found its size frustrating, especially with the ever-growing increase in wheelbase length, handlebar width, etc. Higher-grade Tetris with some Jenga thrown had nothing on trying to get 3 bikes to fit on a 3-bike rack. My last Thule was the Velospace. Increase width and more space between bikes.

I have a Westfalia 3 Bike Rack going up for sale soon. As a lifetime Thule user, I can say with confidence that these are tight up there, and the way it folds up and away beats just about any rack out there. Let me know. This one here: https://bikehub.co.za/news/review-westfalia-3-bike-carrier-r8298/

Agreed with GP being more rugged out of the box. There are screen protectors and other cases that will rugger-up the Insta, though. Most of which you will in any case acquire for a GP. Well, maybe not all of it. Circling back to your OP, I would definitely rather have the Insta for something like the CTCT. A GP will look in one direction, and that direction will be of limited use if you or your mate do not fill that spot. With the Insta you can pan around. Focus in on the view when it makes sense, flip it around to get some of yourself in the shot when descending or bleeding up Suikerbossie, then pan around and get some of your mate riding, etc. I also used a GP since GP4, but the Insta changed things up massively for me. I even use it on shoots. Mount it to my camera's hot shoe mount and let it snap intervals for the duration of the shoot. Then when I'm done I have a cool timelapse that I can still frame in post. Riding with my kid - same thing. Stick on a bar or wherever and then frame it afterwards. Kids party? Stick it on a desk and frame the shots afterwards. No need to fiddle while your kid is opening presents. A nifty little gadget. But yes, it will need protective lens films (I think it comes in the box) and maybe a dive or rugged case. I have a Smallrig case for mine as I often bolt other gadgets to it. Rode Wireless Go or whatever.

Some vids I made using the Insta360 OneX 2 https://www.instagram.com/reel/B53PvTHFiJt/ https://www.instagram.com/reel/B7YgDkolwBB/ https://www.instagram.com/p/ClDmWGpKyKW/ https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca9IDyIKU1t/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CWnGaO5KTnm/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CUvN1ouldfI/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CLcrM99HV8F/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CD5vFYtHwik/

I have this one https://180by2.co.za/products/insta360-one-x2-360-action-camera The newer version https://180by2.co.za/products/insta360-x3-360-action-camera

I use this on mobile and tablet. Love it. Kick-ass templates to use making it easy to get a nice edit.

I would HIGHLY recommend an Insta360 OneX or OneX 2 or OneX 3. It is so nice to be able to frame your shot afterward and with all the clamps and mounts that are available, you won't be limited with creativity. The Insta360 app is also a joy to use. You can do the editing in APP before exporting, they have plenty drafts or templates to use making it even easier. No doubt it is the way to go.

Soon...

Let's do it!

I saw riders next to the R44 on Sunday and thought, Origin of trails indeed. Then I saw pics of riders on a runway, really the Origin of Trails.

Reach out to the team at Positive Sport Solutions, they are the new agents.

I'd like to know which podcasts cyclists listen to. Cycling and non-cycling. And GO!
