    Bib Shorts

    Bought Monton recently on Takealot .Also have multiple assos, craft,Van H,Anatomic .Very happy with the bib at R1000 worth every cent .Ciovita and my winter assos bib has a worn area at the rear just above the chamois line .Don,t know what caused it .General wear or baggies that i sometime wear over them
  6. And the rain probably .Good luck
  7. Answers for questions never asked !
  8. Already have one thanks
  9. It is new .It is expensive .I have room for another bike.Where do i pay !
  10. I ride a Roubaix with futures shock 2 .It makes a lot of sense as the future shock works really well ,but now you are in dual suspension valley again and the current flexible seat post on the Roubaix works great already
  11. It's electric !
  12. Been riding Wolwe from day one .I pick my own route nowadays. Can get scary for the small kids when they visit for the first time and get lost
  13. Maybe the cleat is to high on the shoe .I screw them directly on the sole and never use the plate that comes with the set .I screw them in and heat them with a hair dryer so that the cleat melts slightly into the sole .Then tighten them again .Make sure the cleat is not the M type that has multiple release areas ,including vertical
  14. I have at least ten sets of shimano XT pedals .I don,t know about play ,unless your cleat is worn
  15. Hotspot cycles sell BMC
  16. Have you tried wider tires than 32 mm .I reckon 36 mm will work if you ride mostly dry gravel
  17. I wanted a bike that can ride on the shoulder and if i wanted to take a different route i will be able to .Gravel bikes without suspension is just a ridged hard-tail with a drop bar .i got hold of a 2020 roubaix in my size with Shimano Di2 ,alu rims and 32 gravelkings .It is a proper fast comfortable road bike .Taken of road i have to remind myself that i am not on a mtb and have to ride slower as the tires will not take the worst hits , but it can handle 80 % of really bad gravel road and 100% if you ride cautiously The future shock and flexible seat post work really well . A diverge will almost make a mtb obsolete
  18. I ride my roubaix with 32 gravel-kings as a gravel bike .Super all rounder
  19. Paid my entry for my first attempt since i started cycling 15 years ago .
  20. Australia is such a pissy state .You can get arrested for farting in the hotel lobby without warning people
  21. My son in law got hold of a neat giant anthem 26 inch bike at low price .I sponsored some maxxis ikon 2,35 tires that was on sale at cycle lab and now he is cycling all over Cape town. There are still thousands of 26 inch bikes in Europe .You see them everywhere
  22. I have had many groupsets and have had very little problems with any of them .My latest is Shimano ultegra Di2 .I still ride Shimano 11 speed and 2 x 10 .Also Sram eagle XO1,GX,ASX .Shimano Deore ,SLX ,XT are bomb proof and affordable .Sram Gx had issues with shifting so i use XO cassettes .They all work well .I will not buy Sram NX and SX. If i had to choose one brand it will be Shimano
  23. Momsen JSL 40 .These are the best .Super light and sram 5 componants
  24. The one without the fork .My son had one of those momsen JR alu bikes without the fork .Light with proper components is what you want
  25. Bottom bracket for sure ,if you can feel it .Happened to me on a Token BB with only 30 km on
