  1. Ending up at the urinal next to "it" will be a life changing experience. I'd skrik my piss away for 3 weeks ðŸĪŠ
  2. Aaahhhh ......................... you mean "duel control" ☠ïļ
  3. 😂 What a coincidence ðŸ˜ģ Got a Tassajara myself. Got it brand new in 1994 and still ride it 4 times a week. Before and after. The Fisher is now a gravel grizzly. This is the steerer ext. I got. Chris Willemse Cycles is selling a similar unit now for R230.
  4. Hi @DodgeB Bought mine from Decathlon if I can recall. It actually works like a charm. No play or movement on the extension. I use mine on an early 90's Gary Fisher 26" hardtail with a threaded steerer. I wanted to replace the original goose neck quill stem with a newer stem and gravel bar combination. I do not regret this mod for one second.
  5. Sorry to ask this question, but are you referring to a stem or steerer extender? I have been using a steerer extender for years without any issues. They are particularly useful when fitting a clamp-on stem to a threaded type steerer tube on older bikes.
  6. They "shot" past the perps for sure 👊
  7. Thx @Brettowski for your inspirational post. What a boy'tjie 🏆 Keep on rolling and never tap out.
  8. Good luck @The itch I've had mine for roughly 4 years now and I have had zero issues.
  9. Agreed ðŸĪ™ It's like getting rear-ended by some idiot, and your insurance turns down your repair claim because your car's tyres were worn past the tread markers.
  10. Honestly not. I have used SLX and XT chains on my Dura Ace 7800 10spd without any issues.
  11. I have succesfully done it on my 10 spd. I cannot vouch for 11 or 12 spds.
  12. @Zebra this has to be the goto excuse to convince the wife that you need an e-bike 😂 Had a meniscus repair job done myself and it took me longer to get going on any bike than after neck surgery(ACDF). I managed to bend my knee through a complete pedal stroke in week 4 post op. From week 6 I could comfortably ride the trainer without screaming like a girl. Week 8 I was on my gravelbike and in no particular pain - felt good actually. Key is to remain seated in an easy gear for as long as possible. The moment you get out of the saddle your knee will let you know in no uncertain way. It is amazing how you start paying close attention to small things after an operation of this nature. Your knee does quite a bit of twisting in the joint when you stand on the pedals. Best of luck @DMZ Take your time and you will cream this little obstacle 💊

    R1m Bike

    With a R1m price tag you do not carry water on your ride. A sponsored team car will follow you with the refreshments ................... oh yes, accompanied by the distant drone of an airborne film crew following your epic outing. You gotto think out of the box here 😝

    R1m Bike

    ðŸ˜ģ Seems like a very fine line between Black Friday and Black Magic ............
  15. Nearly got taken out by a "lesser spotted Cape skrop-hoener", aka tarrentaal, on Saturday. Had I hit him at 25km/h, a full fairing might not have saved me despite wearing head- and eye-gear worth R10k. Most accessories could be subjected to this one test .............. "it depends" As @MORNE and others mentioned, many potential cyclists are scared off this sport by the cost of the so-called "essentials". Have bike, will ride ðŸĪ™ Old's cool
