Thanks, yes, fortunately tastes differ and we are allowed our own preferences…. My issue with veganism is that I very strongly support sustainable living, and once you scratch the surface, there is nothing sustainable about modern veganism. Buying into the hype keeps feeding the beast…

Thanks, but they are pretty much in the same style as most of the other trail type or bikepacking type shoes. Not really different to the leatts I have, and love. Those Stomp Locs, made from real leather, and stitched instead of glued, and pretty much devoid of any branding, and looking like a proper pair of multipurpose outdoor shoes I would happily wear with chinos to a meeting, are just special. Too much bike stuff today is plastic and polyester. I really like this, and I don’t thing there are any locally available alternatives, so I guess I will need to start saving….coz after duties they’re gonna be seriously expensive…. But with proper care, at least they should last a decade or so…

Today is the first time since dropping DSTV I regret it.

Can you point me in the direction of the locally available options? My leatts are pretty normal looking in that they resemble other sneakers, but they are clearly still bikeshoes. Would love a pair of low key plain leather spd compatible shoes for daily use

I refuse to support anything that promotes itself as vegan for starters. And the style/look of the stom lox is what is most appealing to me about them.

On eurosport+ 3, but without any commentary, or Eurosport+ 10 with German commentary. Not on either of the 2 main Eurosport channels. Also not impressed. Seems it’s only available with English commentary if you watch via gcn+. seriously not impressed with this discovery/Eurosport thing. Bring back Red Bull

Anyone know of anything remotely similar locally available? I came across a review of these on bike rumour, and now I just have to have a pair. I have always wondered why no one makes bike shoes that look like normal shoes I would actually wear. But at USD250, plus shipping and probably 45% import duties, that’s going to be an insanely expensive shoe. https://stomplox.com/ Anything similar available locally, or if imported, at a bit of a more reasonable price?

With all the new coverage set up and that, is there a website that lists all the events, their times and where to watch? jumping between juniors on YouTube, practice/qualifiers on a combo of YouTube and GCN/Eurosport and finals only on GCN/Eurosport/DSTV…. It’s a bit hard to plan ones watching schedule.

Context? What are you trying to say? I’m truly lost

Will check it out. Gotta love Warner. Was an absolute basket case in his racing days, but his passion for the sport, and for people and experiences is almost infectious. Just rewatched the Robs Wild Rides series on RBTV last night, also definately worth the time.

Until DSTVs chokehold on broadcast rights in South Africa is broken, which unfortunately is protected by our very uncompetitive laws in this space, and those laws are the only things keeping multi choice afloat, you will always require a VPN to get access to decent content in South Africa, especially if you want it an affordable price.

Yep, her. She just doesn’t do it for me… I really miss the RBTV presenters. Guessing Bart’s contract was with UCI and not directly with Redbull, so I am glad at least he has been kept. Cedric Garcia is good with the downhill coverage, but I do miss Robs passion at both DH and XC

Via VPN. But the Eurosport and GCN+ broadcast is the same feed. Same as you get on supersport, if you have Dstv. I have had no issues with the feed at all this weekend so far.

Nope. Not her. Brunette with overbotoxed lips, and really odd fashion sense, that looked very out of place at a MTB event.

Why if I may ask? Been swopping between gcn+ and eurosport all weekend. Feed has been fine, but miss the Rob Warner commentary
