Thanks for the detailed feedback. The "now barista in me" says, go with this machine since it is a good upgrade from the Bialetti and store-ground coffee we currently have. The "future barista in me" says, Go with the Rancillo Silvia, because one day you will regret not going with a more "purist" machine. It's kind of like "Buy that size M shirt, because it will force you to go on a diet and ride more and then you will fit into it". (I have a lot of size M shirts in my cupboard that are too small...)

Does anyone have any experience with the Breville Barista Express? From online reviews it seems pretty legit. https://www.home.co.za/pdp/breville-barista-express/_/A-334002AAAA1

Arriving the evening of the 21st for a lekker 90km the next morning

According to Garmin Connect:

Just stay out of the shade :-P Good luck, hope you find a buyer.

Email should still go out in the week, but here is what it says on Entry Ninja (https://www.entryninja.com/events/event/25161-dbx18 ): Bone Crusher 70 km 07:30 Long Claw 50 km 09:00 Blood Serpent 30 km 09:25 Slow Beer 15 km 09:50

Thanks, I see what you mean. Have found this useful video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klWlovrL8gw Update: Adjusted the B-tension screw and it works perfectly.

So I fitted a 11-46 Sunrace cassette to my wife's bike last night (2016 Anthem 27.5) which has a M8000 derailleur (XT) (not quite sure if long or medium), and now I get that the top pulley wheel rubs on the 46T ring. My question(s): How do I check if she has a long or medium (hopefully not short) cage?Is there any other adjustment required on the derailleur itself?Can the mount type of the derailleur influence max cog compatibility at all?

First reaction - wow cool! ... reading ... Second reaction - uhmmmm okay no Then bookmarked this:

As far as I know from 2013 onwards it is Lefty 2.0? I hope so anyway because I have the same fork that came on my 2013 Flash Carbon 3 29.

Punctuation is everything :-) On topic - I hope they guys do well!

Take on the Otter trail a few weeks ago (Galaxy S4)

Either way, now you can carry two :-)

Gansbaai Sterktrap 2012 This is literally 10m after the start...

Did you buy a Cannondale? I've got a Cannondale Flash with SRAM BB30. The Flash is just much better than my previous bike, so I think a lot of the improved stiffness and pedaling efficiency is due to that rather than the BB30. But I can't be sure. Regarding maintenance: Yes very easy to remove the SRAM crankset, but removing the pressfit bearings you need the tool. But yes, easy to get to clean externally and re-apply grease. Regarding durability: Here I am not so impressed. After about 8 months (2000-2500kms) my BB started feeling rough. I'm still riding it now and it's fine. So doesn't seem as durable as Hollowtech. BB30 is also more expensive to replace...

Only the 75km was R250. But with the mud, a cycling shop is a good business to be in...

I have some friends that are going for their first long ride this weekend :-)

If you put together that sentence I applaud you

Sheez, who came up with that statement? Uncle Phil?

Dont have a figure for you but it's fairly flat. Climbing only in the last 20km so save some legs. My guess would be at 700m of climbing (if that).

Mine did exactly the same. Except this weekend it finally popped after developing a marshmallow sized bubble. Mine had about 2500km on which is a shame because the tread is still good...

Thanks for the replies. So then seems like I was at the correct place, but the final signage and instructions just weren't up to scratch, therefore the confusion. Was just weird that we got the number boards from the guard at the boom and he just didn't know what was going on and no one else was on site to help. I'll give it another try though.

Thanks, will try the other entrance next time.
