Reminds me of

Interesting kickstand coming out of that frame. What even is that?

Starting to turn into my previous two days. Except it was voms and sharts

Insure, insure, insure. Better than having a warranty as it generally covers crashing your brains out as well.

Now I'm choking

Size is an issue I would imagine. How tall is your wife?

Even El Presidente said "a cloth mask" should be worn...

This was all the shop had when I needed lube. It's not the worst lube in the world but it was a bit messy after a very dusty ride. I noticed zero difference even with my legs putting down e-bike levels of power at least 90% of the time.

But it is expensive? It must be the best! To me that price is a new chain + enough good quality lube for many thousands of km.

I could have phrased that differently. Agreed.

I think there is a bit of a disconnect here. I’m not calling Lyne out and saying it’s a **** company with **** products. I’ve had various lengthy discussions with Dayle about specific requirements and he even sent me technical drawings of products to ensure i’ll have proper measurements to fit. This just shows the commitment and trust he has in his brand. I merely said I’m concerned about the quality of the two products that didn’t perform to expectations when compared to similar products from other manufacturers. In this case a chainring from Lyne vs SRAM with the same km on it and a multi tool from specialized subjected to the same riding conditions and maintenance. Lyne has my support and I’ve recommended them on various occasions to other riders.

I'm just curious. Not throwing a blanket at all. I'm happy with the cranks and wheels. I have sent a mail about the chainring. Waiting patiently for a reply.

I'm built for comfort, not speed.

Same with mine. Starting to rust after about a month on the bike. - Couple of muddy rides - 2 bike washes with Dirt Nurse I'm starting to have second thoughts about buying certain Lyne items again. First issue was a chainring that lasted only 1000km and now a tool that is meant to be exposed to the elements rusting. Good solutions at good prices with great marketing behind it. Is the quality there though... Edit: Rephrased portion in bold.

Stayed with the 30t. I just bought the chain that is on the bike and spending another R1000 on a chain didn't appeal to me.

Mine arrived yesterday as well. Installed it but haven't had a chance to test it. Hopefully I'll be recovered by the weekend to test it.

Before buttoning everything up leave the wheel in the hot sun or work your way around with a hairdryer to help the glue stick properly. Also using Gorilla Tape. 1000km done so far with zero pressure loss or leaks.

Yes

Have you tried the classifieds?

A good safe spot is Big Red Barn in Centurion and then Taroko Trails in Modderfontein. I’ve ridden both alone multiple times with complete confidence. Couple of other spots like Northern Farms as well to consider. Good idea to find someone that will be keen on showing you around. AVOID: The spruit and delta park unless you’re in a large group. 3 attacks in the last 3 days.

Another attack today at the entrance of Delta Park. It’s quickly turning into an almost daily occurrence now.

Might be worth getting in touch with Omnico. They might have or help to point you in the right direction.

Completed my entry. What do I have to lose.

Definitely looks like it goes down like a couple at matric farewell. Also, orange bikes are faster.
