    So lets say you did take the long way home yesterday to go get that beer - are you allowed to log those extra kms in the challenge? Asking for a friend...

    Gymbooster question - when you have a "normal" Virgin Active membership you get 75% off your monthly fee, and then a further 25% off if you reach all your goals for the months with gymbooster. According to the website , if you upgrade to a "premier" membership you get 60% off your monthly fee. But they don't mention anything about gymbooster? Do you still get another 25% off if you reach all your goals, bringing total discount to 85%? Or do you get another 40% discount, bringing your total discount to 100%?

    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

    I would say 2nd hand, but perhaps think about getting a 29er with 10spd. I hear what the others are saying about a 26er - but the cheapest tubeless 26er tire I can find is like R600. Also, 10spd parts are usually much cheaper than 7/8/9spd parts too. So a 29er wil be cheaper to maintain.

    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?

    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.

    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...
