  1. Welcome to the UCI….. rules about sock length included
  2. I started MTBking with a Marin Bobcat and then a Palisades while living in Joburg back last century when there was no suspension and V brakes where hot... had a lot of fun riding and racing them Good luck Marin SA
  3. Hope the bike was not dropped and then sold by ysteryeti Lionel Hennessy…. looks like a good excuse to upgrade to a thru axle
  4. The whole thing is being blown out of proportion, if it was some unknown joe soap it would not be news or warrant a thread like this. Just one thing, these girls knew what they were doing as they had already been warned by MvdP girlfriend to stop but still persisted, the girls even filmed themselves knocking on his door (sign of intelligence, not) All we need now is for MVP to sue the parents for potential loss of a world title and related wealth…
  5. We used to go play tok tokkie in blocks of flats with no lifts starting on the top floor and working our way down, never got caught but my parents did get accused of raising a devil.... Beginning to sound like a "When we thread"
  6. Exactly Brats know this and exploit it fully
  7. Good to hear moi… getting fat 😂 take care 👍
  8. To be fair „the oke“ is plying his trade as a pro cyclist in an extremely tough and competitive environment while us armchair pros read about it on insta or whatever i take my hat off to him, and if he gives CSA the gears then I would think he has good reason to, as you said most would agree….. #lekkerwillie
  9. Hello Ma’am, howzit going 👋
  10. Winter is coming.... Had the day off today and went for a quick spin on the roadie before the rain came
  11. Have to be honest, my first reaction reading your post was…. I thought you were a stand up honest Christian… the bold bit above had me wondering tho Good luck with the new buys and keep it straight n simple 😉 😉
  12. I admire folks that have the time go to all this trouble, clearly i spend to much time on the couch instead of maintaining my bike(s)
  13. Congrats and well done for the silver🥈 that’s damn impressive
  14. Nino has tried his hand at road, 2014 riding for Orica Greenedge, his last road event result i could find was 24th in a local UCI 1.1 event over 172 km
  15. Yep my wife has the app and following the friends we know that are running. Days like this and I get the crazy idea to enter, then reality sets in 😁
  16. What a pity the usual live stream is no longer available for the supporters overseas to watch. Comrades dropped the ball on this big time
  17. Awesome pic of Joburg by Anton Johannesburg Photographer Uses his Lens and Camera to Paint a 'Positive' City - SAPeople - Worldwide South African News
  18. Where overseas? Horse flies are the biggest problem in summer where I ride my mtb, and then the blue fly swarms from piles of horse pooh on the trails. When I left SA it was already dicey with criminals robbing cyclists, 19 years later i think I would struggle to adapt to riding in SA
  19. Wasn’t it Nino who allegedly took out MF in the forest for the win….. 😇😇
  20. Galician steak, its irresistible
  21. Well this explains a few things, and here I thought Nino was getting old and slow (in context of racing at the pointy end of xco) I can just see Nino reading the local news over his kaffee und gipfeli this morning….😁
  22. Of course NQ will deny ever using it or knowledge of how it got into his system. The next joke is that tramadol falls under the uci’s medical regulations and not the anti doping regulations, so he can continue racing, but gets dq’d from the race (TDF) where tested positive. Sounds like something from a “Better call Saul” episode
