Great, thanks for confirming that. Gonna use it from now on.

Can citric acid be used in any machine? I have a a saeco bean to cup machine, I also have about 50kg of citric acid at any given time... I never knew it was possible to descale with citric acid! It makes life a lot easier if I can use it in my machine.

Cape Town has cycle lanes?

How about a ride/run option? Ride a lap, run a lap, ride a lap, run a lap!

Anyone else used the Bialetti brikka pot? An interesting alternative for espresso.

Not that it makes this any more doable, but I think the quoted elevation change refers to up and down. So for elevation you could half the number to about 50000 feet.

For a good balance between grip and rolling resistance you could also try aggressor 2.5 up front with aggressor 2.3 rear. I ended up with this combo by chance and am very happy with it. Previous combo was dhf 2.35 front and aggressor 2.3 rear. New combo os better in every way.

Rapide or Lyne. I've had Rapide wheels and they are great. If i was looking to upgrade now though, id go Lyne components.

I've experienced the exact same problem. So I'd also be keen to fix my pair if there is a reasonably priced solution. Such comfortable bib shorts otherwise!

The number for metro (wsar) is 021 9370300. Always best to call metro first if in a remote wilderness area.

Your fault for finishing so late!

The trick is to do conties first, so you do the k@k road climb first. We parked at Hoogekraal today, did contermans and then the hoogies/faircape loop.

Best Dylan cover has to be the Hendrix cover of 'all along the watchtower'! Another great one is the damned's cover of the Beatles' 'help', better than the original... in my opinion. I've recently been listening to lot's of post modern jukebox covers with my daughter lately. Really fun covers and worth a listen.

I thoroughly enjoyed the race, three days of fantastic riding and lots of fun. Good mates, good vibe and good riding. What more could one ask for... It would be great to choose between doing day two of the stage race and the enduro on the Saturday. I had a bit of fomo as the enduro looked awesome. I did see one of the enduro riders doing day three of the stage race so maybe it was possible?

Great game by Cronje at no. 9 as well!

It's not the cheating that bothers me. But the fact that a rider on an ebike can influence a race overall. Non-ebike riders can definitely be advantaged by being 'pulled' by a rider on an ebike.

I got a pair of these from bike24.

Please check and confirm! I'd be very interested to find out. Looking at those weights, the difference between the 175 and the 180 is a lot more than the 170 and the 175.

So the story about the 170mm and 175mm crank arms being the same length but with the holes set 5 mm back isn't true.

Well spotted, home away from home.

There's a giant hiding somewhere!

Mofo right up to the top is definitely worse! Not the first half though. The other mofo which goes from deer park right up to tafelberg road is also way worse.

Pictures or it's not true! Must be luck of the draw. I've never received one. We have a bit of a standing joke about it.

What special medal? The mythical medal for those who did both the 55mtb race and the road race... Has anyone ever actually seen one of these? Like seen it?
