  1. Enough to do some damage me thinks 🤪
  2. I am not sure if there is a dedicated thread for SA women competing at international level, but today Frances Janse Van Rensburg came 13th at Mont Ventoux Challenge and Hayley Preen 21st! Our ladies are flying the flag very high, both riding for conti teams. I believe Frances' team will also be riding in Le Tour Femmes later this year. https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/mont-ventoux-denivele-challenges/2022/result
  3. I will be attacking in the feed zone with my camelbak and 600g of carbs in my pockets.
  4. I am looking forward to it. Should be fun. I wonder how the racing will play out.
  5. https://www.cyclingweekly.com/racing/primoz-roglic-has-special-and-difficult-day-on-cobbles-as-he-impresses-at-rehearsal-for-tour-de-france I believe both Roglic and Vingegaard were at this race. I see @Jewbaccabeat me to it by a lot!
  6. I think this Titan I have could probably fit more than 33, haha
  7. An oke was disappointed I didn’t want to give him my roll so he could go “find a bush” at Red Hill… mate…
  8. Yeah they are super nice bikes, the newly released aero disc bikes are insane as well, and the gravel bike is crazy light. Very lucky to be on one haha. Seems like they have moved away from the mtb scene a bit though, I know there are some fancy e mtb instead.
  9. I said hello when I rode past in my red kit on the Storck. maybe i should try the road bike on there... Looks pretty fantastic haha. Thanks for all the hard work.
  10. Super impressive, considering he was racing for the win the day before while Ganna sat up, and he is in the yellow non custom skinsuit (check the photos on instagram of the bunching up of that suit on the arms compared to usual)... If I was Ineos I would be worried. But Ganna also does not always sit at top top form before important races. The first TT at TDF is definitely going to be interesting.
  11. Yes the important one 😂😂😂 I’ll be heading back soon though.
  12. So, when is someone going to buy my gravel bike to start training for gravel nationals?
  13. IMO the "spirit of gravel" is race whatever bike you want, work out what will be fastest for you on the course based off what options you have. Not sure if there are uci rules regarding what a legal and illegal gravel bike are (I am fairly sure they exist knowing the UCI but I have not seen them)
  14. Yoh I have some serious fomo. Well done guys for executing what looked like an amazing event with great coverage.
  15. the weightweenie in me hates this but it also hated the idea of the varia rear light and I now love that thing!
  16. I was wearing my fancy shoes so ya, felt like a slinky sloth
  17. I sauntered into CSixx HQ today, what a pleasure... SUPER nice stuff and oozing quality. Pretty awesome.
  18. We are short, but the bike is too big for him. I’m not sure if large or xl would be better for you haha. He’s actually owned an xl as well… bit of a wheeler dealer like me. It doesn’t add resistance when it’s not on apart from the gravitational resistance. You’re welcome to come try it if you’re around Newlands, no pressure at all.
  19. Yoh, @Matt006 got a lot more than he bargained for.
  20. My dad has a lekker Specialized Turbo X commuter he needs to sell as well. Does the job very well. https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/commuter-e-bikes/558083/specialized-turbo-x-large-2016-unrestricted
  21. I’m a cycling friend and just calculated my monthly costs this morning… I can dm exact figures but the resulting conclusion was that I need a job 😂 anyone looking for a fresh graduate in Politics, philosophy, and economics part time can send me a message
  22. Idk I just worry about these kinds of things, but I am a pure roadie and naive. I’ll stick to sharing with cars instead of dogs 😑
