    Wave 1 Group H (3:58) If you know, you know

    any of the many races that doesn't involve a shuttle schlepp to then go straight up a concrete path! hey but everyone has their poison I guess.

    I think you can find better ways to spend R470!

    What about this as linked earlier? Cheaper that the bontrager all in. https://twowheelstrading.co.za/product/wheels-2/tubeless-kits/tyre-sealant-stans-tubeless-kit-xc-26/ I really trust that stans no-tubes do not stuff around. If they sell them- they should work. The wheels I am looking at are shimano mt15 (26")
  7. Shebeen
    That is what was known as "ghetto tubeless".

    I got onto this incredible story https://mmbhof.org/stan_koziatek/ This guy did so much to reduce the hassle of punctures, I still smile every time i see double digits of duwweltjies parking off nicely in my tyre and my ride carried on without a hitch. Flippen legend. Then I got onto who was actually on the list https://mmbhof.org/mtn-bike-hall-of-fame/inductees/ Some legit names there. BUT as with all things there are going to be some missing. Obviously there is a huge case for Greg Minnaar to be there, and maybe he will make it this year as he's retired from pro racing - if a bunch of old frenchies steve peat and sam hill are there, then why not. I think I might just put in a form, unless someone much closer to him wants to. For totally different reasons, (and not as a one vs the other) one could put a really good case for Kevin Vermaak. Can't think of anyone else who has done so much to change the racing scene, and create an entire new market. whatcha all think?

    So basically the original Stan's no tubes replacement strip? I might actually be doing this on a 26" bike soon. rolling back the years so looks like you can only get the full system https://twowheelstrading.co.za/product/wheels-2/tubeless-kits/tyre-sealant-stans-tubeless-kit-xc-26/

    https://commencal-store.co.za/collections/20-115-135-cm/products/clash-20 I guess this is what the guy who buys the news SWorks Epic every year for coffee rides gets his laaitie, hence sold out

    I was going to ask what sort of upgraded you need here as this looks pretty all the way you could go. BUT I'm guessing this is not the actual bike, as the picture comes from here https://www.pinkbike.com/news/If-you-cant-buy-it-youve-got-to-build-it-2012.html I wasn't aware of any 20" FS bikes, and as the article suggests, this is a 2011 bike so the concept didn;t seem to catch on!

    exactly. The scenario that played out meant WvA was always odds on to win from that finale, so the surprise that there was "surprise". interestingly IDT is 617 places higher than the next ranked Mexican cyclist. That must be a record for anyone in the top 200
  13. Shebeen
    Was that really such a great win once it was 2up? WvA did zero turns in the final 3km as IdT was going for time on GC so had to TT the entire run in with a passenger. Differing goals.

    I'll let you guys in on a secret. You don't have to spend R10k on a cassette! It's called 2x. Incredible technology from road bikes and hypermarket mtbs, allows you to shift gears both at the back and the front. Despite having more parts it's a fraction of the cost of 1x, and you don't need all the flimsy 12spd stuff either.

    whoaaaaaah, uh mean have you not tried baby shark? what's top speed, looks wild!

    But can you name more, I can't! put 4/5 together that are publicly known, and it could make sense because there could be more - but until then it's a weird request. I guess we are all keen to know what prompted your query in the first place - did you find someone a bit dodgy and wanted to know more? here's a corollary - a conman in the running community https://runningmann.co.za/2025/02/13/the-terrible-tale-of-tiaan-conradie-the-lying-dutchman/ Should ASA put a list together of fraudsters in the running sector? of course not.
  17. Shebeen
    really, how often? could you name a few examples? Would there be enough people for there to be a list?
  18. Shebeen
    Your comment got replied anyway, but no problems. There comes a time when this is no longer a cycling relevant story, he's no longer in the industry (right?). Maybe we're not there yet.

    Think he needs to apologise by now, but seems to have the remorse that his actions caused. Accidents happen, fatal accidents a bit more rare. I know a guy who got driven over by his girlfriend. They were fighting, she wanted to drive off, he lay down in front of the car to stop her. She didn't realise this and drove over him. He woke up in hospital with multiple serious injuries as both wheels went over him, and he got flipped over between the two. She woke up with a massive hangover and no recollection. He forgave her, and they worked their stuff out. Neither of them drink anymore. Which is good because they are married with kids. He is doing exceptionally well now. For every crazy story there can be a good one. I think we can move on from this one now.

    The smashing went both ways! His BMX record is up for whoever wants it the most.
  21. Shebeen
    Name and shame where possible. Please

    does anyone use these whilst they are out and about? strava beacon - https://www.bikeradar.com/news/strava-beacon-relaunch garmin live track - https://support.garmin.com/en-ZA/?faq=HbqxxbiBGA3mDhlLX4GUw8 NSRI safetrx -https://www.nsri.org.za/water-safety/safetrx/ (watersports focussed, but can be for running/hiking too) This was prompted by seeing adds for a paid service - https://dotwatch.co.za/, R56 pm for something that is free seems like a weird business model. unless I'm missing something.

    The funny thing is neither are claiming to be the toughest. This one is, and it probably isn't I know the tagline for Epic is The untamed African MTB race. "come network on your fiets" or something similar might be more suitable, but this works. I do know the FC one is "Adventure Guaranteed", I don't think anyone has come back and complained about a lack of adventure.
  24. Shebeen
    looks incredible!
  25. Shebeen
    Again not a fair comparison. Rather put SRMR against the Freedom Circuit bikepacking race put on by RASA legends and which is on while I type this. 700km race through epic(pun intended) territory for R6500. BARGAIN!! https://www.instagram.com/p/DJWivbos6JX/
