I wonder if Sram would be interested in bringing Stages in-house and integrating into a new line. The electrical components are coming in leaps and bounds. LOOK have invested as they see the Chinese coming hard from a price point, so it’s will be a price war with established companies versus new kids. South Africa is a small market so tend to have limited supply and demand, so we do get milked but online has reshaped the consumers shopping habits. I see the LBS taking hard knocks to keep up with tech trends.

I wouldn’t touch TREK!ever. They dropped the moral ball with the Greg Lemond saga! And acting disgracefully, I personally believe karma is on its way! Plus that brand is linked to the biggest cycling fraud to ever hit our sport! It has zero value in my eyes. Cycling will carry on regardless, hopefully Trekless. The new challenges ahead is backup and parts, as more riders decide to have a forever bike!

Sounds like saddle guys should talk to bib shorts guys and figure out a good combo. In the near future.. hey guys , these Sella Italia bibs are awesome! 🤓✅

Well Kona Bicycles, had to pack up their stand and leave before the expo was gong to open at Sea Otter! They were meant to launch new Gravel Bike. Over at Scott,Police had to be called in as a certain staff member refused to go! Then CC in the US is having a 30% online clear out, also rumbles that they will shutdown. The bike industry is slowly melting from irregular stock acquirements during covid and buy more so you get your order processed antics. Here in the middle ls the consumer. Dazed and confused as we witness our sport became even more elitist as prices surge higher and higher. When a good tire costs over 1K, what’s in store for us all?

I hope you give him a sizzling deal! 😂😂😂

Pog, “I told ya, I can beat a car” is just in the form of his live. I hope he keeps some Matches for the Giro. Them Dolomites is no joke, easy to empty the tank and ride the TDF wounded.

What size is the rotor? The bigger the size, will of course affect the stress levels on hub etc. Is it not possible to have the hole rethreaded at some stage?

I expect more lbs to close if we all start running towards the click and buy culture of these unknown brands Not sure of actual back up with those NV luvU bars! 😂😂😂😂 Chinese are allergic to IP! No wonder the courts are full of patent overlaps. Every dollar they win, your contribution goes to cheap labour and world domination! You think about that on your next long long ride.

Your future stars…. Ladies and gentlemen…..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 All waiting for the next chance to step up to Pro! We’d be fools if we think the current crop of guys race clean! When records are falling everywhere… insane 80km solo breakaways etc etc… need I say more?

That non recall was a big blow… pity many riders got unnecessary road rash and serious injuries. I wonder whatever happened to that storm? The settle out of court or anybody know how it ended? 🤔

We all know the japs, it’s of course going to be Competitive… it’s going to come down to a good price point, and be future proof within their eco system.

They just took the ASX apart in Japan and made some tweaks….😂😂😂 Their global market share is eye watering! They need to feed the monster.

Actually, a few have their own version, but I see they not available locally. Garmin is milking the market.

.. damn bunch of Ass-hols make any ride uncomfortable. Check your tags, maybe it’s normal to land up with shorts that look like Swiss cheese! 😂😂😂
