Very good question my gravel bike has a cheaper/older component set

The route for tomorrow 😥 e7131ee1-2de8-4945-ad57-86c6062f2880.mp4

I believe it occurred just before 10:00, but OP can confirm.

That’s one epic ride

Likewise with a bit of oil

Road or MTB? i found the my trainer bike chain got about 400+

YMMV, I reckon 100kmnis really worse case scenario or had that been your general experience @dasilvarsa i actually made some lube as well, works well, similar to rocknroll

my ratio is about 10% Paraffin oil to wax, I actually added a bit more wax a few weeks ago. I suspect the chain needs to remain in until it cools. It didn't have that "stiff" feel to it dried completely

Guys, did 70km today on a newly waxed chain and near end of ride, chain was not as silent as I'd like it, reckon I need to add some wax to my mixture? OR should I leave chain in pot while the wax cools? I am thinking probably both?

Scam, and wants collection in the Phillipi area which is dodge

He needs to show us his I reckon 👀

Some great insight shared and advice given, lots to consider on what is not a cheap purchase decision , thank you for all the input - appreciated

Some sound advice and good questions to ponder there! Budget is around R17k thereabouts, You're right my current wheels are great... Have no intention of changing to disk anytime soon was thinking of aero benefits / improved rolling I am eyeing the darkhorse 38/50 combo

Thanks for this, thoughts on Darkhorse?

Recommended profile for Cape Town riding?

Eish guys need someone to talk me out of it!🤔 Worthwhile upgrade considering my current set up?

Hi All I have a small itch that I am not sure I want to scratch. I am contemplating changing my wheelset to a carbon set with a deeper profile. My bike currently has a set of Mavic R Sys wheels which have given me great service for the 7 or years that I have had them - they are quite light and stiff. Should I bite the bullet and go down this route? Will need to be for a rim brakes and I would prefer to stay with tubes for now. Or should I just ignore this itch and move on ! I have scouted a few options 2nd hand in the classifieds already

I have been running carbon rims for 7 years with very few issues, barring maybe 2 spokes on the rear in that time and hardly any "out of true" issues that comes to mind. When I fitted them I could immediately feel the stiffness and responsiveness. I am a big fella (used to be around 103kg - now 96kg) They are on my Pyga Stage and have been put through quite a bit. I have the Pyga Trail Wide rims that made way back then BTW

Likewise, but if itemized should also be easier to derive value of replacement for a specific component.

I’d send him some fake info just to waste his time.

Good question

Well done young man

Pidcock picked up pace

Wtf

Doubtful
