    Big chance of drops especially around Tradouw Pass Edit: spelling

    Also I have found that old tubes, if you have any lying around, are excellent for securing your bike. Just cut them up to size and use them to secure your bike to rack or hold any cloth or foam in place.

    I reckon for the similar money I would rather run eagle axs. I have found myself wanting more gears at 4 w/kg on steep climbs running 38f 42r, running a 44f 52r would offer a better top end and easier climbing. let alone doing a longer ride and adding another 5kg of baggage to the bike, I know that 52 would be used.

    According to USADA, Compton tested positive for an anabolic agent during an out-of-competition test administered on September 16, 2020. - Velonews

    This helmet seems very nice... https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/helmets/491692/giro-vanquish-aero-helmet

    https://cyclingtips.com/2021/08/joao-almeida-to-join-uae-team-emirates-in-2022/ Another solid rider locked in by Mr Wakefield's crew. Interested to see if he will be in his own GC-hunting roll or riding in support of the POG

    And avoid the windy days, it’s crazy how the South Easter affects both the bike and the cars up there…

    Do they make gravel bikes? I am looking for a frame...
  9. Sid the Sloth
    I reckon it will just get some Pinarello branding on it, why waste grams on paint coats...

    It takes so little effort to be nice instead of using words people don't like or find triggering. In fact admin even put in the effort to make sure you have to make zero effort. Thanks guys. Anyway, make sure you don't join the queue to give MVDP a hug as it is probably longer if all these comments have nothing to do with gender.

    Did you miss the Stelvio stage of the Giro last year?
  12. Sid the Sloth
    This is my response when people ask me why I ride all three sides of Constantia Nek so often... It's a lekker road
  13. Sid the Sloth
    How about rowing?

    I have also had good experiences with Triton Express but it seems like TCG is a winner. Will go for quotes from both next time...
  15. Sid the Sloth
    I ride up through Silvermine gate pretty often, and occasionally to the point, and I only ever show them a picture of mine and they are happy with that... often I am in glasses and buff up and they have never questioned it. So that is also an option if you don't want to carry the card imo
  16. Sid the Sloth
    Yes please!

    Like Pidcock's recovery from his crash. Quite inspirational when you see what is possible with access to the best healthcare and extreme mental toughness

    "I will be back on a bike in no time" ... these okes are built different
  19. Sid the Sloth
    I wonder if amateur cycling counts as a wanted profession...
  20. Sid the Sloth
    If you would take some cash to handle a few extra chains I am super keen to try this as my gf's dad has been telling me about it... He is based in Aus otherwise I would ask him to do it.
  21. Sid the Sloth
    Mohoric's position is so hot. He just oozes speed.
  22. Sid the Sloth
    The Mark Padun situation is a proper mystery. Wins two mountain stages in the Dauphine, climbing faster than the GC group alone... And then not included in Tour team or Vuelta. I don't want to point fingers but it definitely does not look good, in fact it looks positively suspicious.
  23. Sid the Sloth
    The cockpit I have (Vision ACR) is supposed to be fully integrated as well, but I suspect the frame would need some modifications I am not willing to perform. Only weighs 363g apparently.
  24. Sid the Sloth
    Except it weighs 8.4 kg fully built with sram red. Not sure how when I did the maths for a build of a cannondale super X and came out at 7.8 recently with force and no serious trickery.
  25. Sid the Sloth
    Two things have put me firmly on your side today: This beautiful piece of writing, and me locating my dream bike that I was second in line for, the guy not being happy with it, offering him what he paid for it minus the extras he sold, and being told I should add about 5-10k to that amount.
