Yes thank you, point taken. I knew there must be some better thread, simply couldn't think of one at the time. It really was intended to be no more than random silliness on my part to hopefully provoke funny responses from witty okes and women here. And Shebeen did it, spectacularly tangential and hilarious he was and is. Apologies, this was not the appropriate thread.

"Painting them in the same light"?? Nah that's you doing the painting. I mean zero more than a random light-hearted comment. That's an arrogant and hubristic projection on your part, presuming intention or some kind of comparative value judgement on my part. To those two gents, the comparative value notion introduced by this guy could not have been further from my mind. He said it, he owns it. And FWIW, I've liked and admired your achievements as much as anyone else.

Came across this earlier. Team 360Life competing in the 2011 Tour of South Africa. In hindsight I'd call it Team Notorious Biggie, or should that be BIG Notorious!? Pretty sure the sharp-witted quipsters on here might have some pearlers... 😁😈

You appear to be associated in some way with SNB, and have stated that you're closer to the events than most here. Certainly, you're an SNB apologist. Have you chosen to ignore SNB's involvement also with the other complainant in the resolved matter, a 14 year old child? Edit: You earlier clearly implied that you know far more than anyone else commenting here. Why then do you choose to omit that he showed porn videos to the 14 year old kid? And that was earlier in his efforts to coerce the child.

+1 Three weeks and over 700k's and it's been faultless ito positioning connection and sensors connections and excellent battery life. This version has a touch-screen so excellent all around.

I've tried a half dozen SA shops and as many workshops for just a small t'ing. A Ritchey 1 1/8" (28.6mm) top cap would be the cherry on top of a new build. If anyone has one lying around I'd be delighted to peel off some notes.

You remind me of the following old post: I still get tingles (nah not those "tingles in me loins" kinda tingles) whenever I think of this.

The Sunderland vs Arsenal result is no surprise, Sunderland are simply brilliant. I've always been an admirer of Sunderland skipper Granit Xhaka through his Arsenal trials and successes and his brilliance. If nominative determinism was ever a thing, Granit is it.

I lucked upon a new Marzocchi Z2 at a quarter of the RRP. A one-and-done kinda deal on the current Z2 version at the LBS. Snapped it up immediately and it's been great for my purposes, even on (admittedly slow) black descents. Servicing is a breeze as well, trust the droo.

Hah! 😂 Not my potato in this case, a zoomed in ad image from this site. Thanks, I had no idea what that is. Will do a bit of reading.

After loads of time on trails and coastal pathways and urban exploration and a bit of racing on my HT I want to get back on the road as well. I shouldn't have listened to the orthopaedic guys and the physio during decades away from bikes after a stable lumbar spinal fracture playing rugby. I've found that cycling has been great for spinal column physiology and even better for all around sharpness. My intention is mostly fun "junk miles" and some focused training prior to a few events annually. I'm considering this, but it has a non-OEM and non-matching clincher wheelset and this rear hub. I'm told the bike is currently about 7.2kg. 105 groupset, cassette and chainrings appear to be good. What is this hub? Would I be better off finding a tubeless wheelset? Used carbon or a good alloy set is what I have in mind. Might have to wait a month or two before acquiring those. Frame and brakes can reportedly accommodate up to 30c tyres. What considerations may I be missing wrt the wheelset?

Thanks for that insight, missed that interview and will have to watch later after sorting this guy who swallowed 89 grams of his epilepsy meds and the schoolboy shot for his phone. Not sure that that negates the possibility of that potential Jumbo Visma tactic for an exciting final day stage win and a boost for the team and its sponsors, though.

Nah nah, what are you on about? I'm not quite as much of an eedjut as your words presume. My comment was clearly expressed. I was speculating about last day TdF stage glory, when it was clear in the final week that JV had a no more than miniscule chance of a GC win against a supreme Pogi and his entirely brilliant team. Besides, if that was Visma's final week intention the strategy clearly worked.

I suspect JV's week-long wheelsucking TP was exactly the Visma plan for a tiring JV. Irritate and push TP so that Wout can pounce and pull away from a tired TP on that last climb of an exciting crit-like city centre last stage. Spectacular win! Wout's the man.

Supremely exciting stage 21 (new) parkour and contest. Since 2014 I've missed just a handful of days watching grand tour stages in real time, and today was the most spectacular final day of racing. Much respect for Wout van Aert. Whataguy!
