They jumped the timelines so crazy I had to rewatch parts of it cause i was confused as hel.

Im in, it will probably push my yearly km to 12000....yeahh

Thanks....will go search for it.

Did you watch Mandalorian via VPN. See Disneyplus is nit yet available for SA?

Why cant I browse for components for Road bikes only, used to be like that, now everything is grouped together and I dont need any MTB stuff.

and trust me its not easy riding in the AL bunch, people think its open cat its easy...no way josè. got a lesson in bunch riding...

I would say you are much fitter than last year...20min diff on a longer ride and power is up.

Thanks

How do the tshwane route compare to the 947 route. Is the 947 tougher, more climbing? The first climbs before the highway was much more harder than what I anticipated!! The downhills was crazy fast.

Yes like when I tried to replace the drum brake shoes on my wifes car rear wheels and could not get all back in, needed to remove other wheel to figure out how it work, back to other wheel to fix my botched job...hehehe. lesson learned

HAHAHAHA......

This will work with normal seatposts, carbon does not expand or shrink like metal. the wrapped carbon made it worst.

OK here is the aftermath. 1.Tried coke, Q10 penetrating oil. Boiling water and cold water. Nothing worked. 4. resorted to cut the seatpost about 20mm from the frame. 5. cut in 3 grooves in the seatpost to see where would be the easiest way to cut though. 6. starting using a saw blade wrapped in old tube cutting the seatpost length in the frame, and being careful not to go to far to start sawing the frame, 7. after 4 nights of sawing and breaking blades started to use a screwdriver as a chisel to open the seatpost where i sawed it. think the wrapped carbon stuck like glue. 8. after the screwdriver went all the way i pried the aluminium away and started to see if the post is moving and then suddenly it started to sink in the frame. then used a vice grip and hammer to hammer it out. was still very reluctant to come out but it did mm by mm. YEAH...out

See u there in AL.

Is not so easy removing a stuck seatpost (carbon wrapped alu). going for the 3rd evening to try and saw it out. patience is key.

Sjoe...you guys were flying. I Was in the bunch after hekpoort but I just tried to stick to the bunch. legs were wobly after 70km.

That is true. Saw a Ted Talk about it and does not nearly come by fossil fuels. Fossils fuels,coal is the worst regarding safety.

Good Oll Russia>>>(per wikipedia) In the decades since the accident, many former Soviet officials and some Western sources have stood by 31 as the accident's official death toll,[6][7] making 31 the most oft-cited figure for the disaster's direct, short-term fatalities. LONG term- with long-term death estimates ranging from 4,000 (per the 2005 and 2006 conclusions of a joint consortium of the United Nations and the governments of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia), to more than 93,000

I thought it was insightful

That looks awesome...

Any one watched Chernobyl?? Was a good one,really liked it and gives great insight on the whole drama.

Gutted.

Mine started on Saturday after the whole day on the sports field with kids stuff. Broke the cold but now sitting with a persistent cough that will not go away. . .phlegm will not clear.
