  1. There is a Colombian rider doing time for trafficking snowflake powder… he unfortunately lost more than his racing licence… I don’t think his had any personal visits from the UCI! 😂😂😂
  2. Currently this is the most alive thread, out come the amazing war stories of man and his machine and those crazy down times 🫣🤪👀 love it!
  3. .. just stay upright and enjoy the school of hard knocks and always have a good brain bucket! (MIPSM) Maybe It Potentially Saves Me) 🤪
  4. This and popped up last night? Anyway else seen this amazing product? 🙈
  5. .. Sam doesn’t have any front teeth! Your hardcore-ness deserves a BikeHub badge. Please contact admin immediately! 👍🏻👀🤣🤣
  6. I popped a wheelie on my kids high end racing BMX which of course is a lightweight track specialist machine and I backflipped and couldn’t function as a human for 4 days. My wife continued to remind me about the skateboarding demo I tried to do I few years back. 🫣🙈🤣😂 have to agree, after 45 there is no more bounce, just one big ouch!
  7. All I see is the 90’s Cobble Grinders of the “Z” team, they were onto something and way ahead of the times.
  8. … the “you gonna die” part has an age restriction! Take care, don’t go making all our premiums hike before Christmas! 😅
  9. I’ve dealt with them in the past, and huge mistrust and full of BS! So yeah what goes around, eventually comes around. Should have gone to OZ, they love boomerangs! 🤣🤣🤣
  10. … bike industry is in the pain cave! If you follow what’s happening across the pond! I mean I was at CL during the week and not one gravel bike on the showroom floor, just a lot guys playing on phones…
  11. Dam those mod wheels look the part buddy! 👍🏻👀
  12. 🤔actually you are right! Back in the day old school teams had tire sponsors but today less focus on them?
  13. Wow that’s compact, it could double up as a pump as well as a last restort.
  14. I see Campagnolo’s ProcTour presence is down to only one team! This could maybe be the last year we see Campag at top level and finally surrender to the broom wagon. I can’t even picture cycling without them? Campagnolo always equalled cycling. I mean back in the day I was sporting my Camp aero bottle and they just had a certain sense of style, and always had amazing innovation. The bike industry is changing and I fear it’s not for the better. When most bike shops in the US are offering 50 % sales to free up over heads cash. I can see Campagnolo’s price point to be a good conversion when many models don’t come spec’d with there equipment.🤔😔 Anyways, just like cork been replaced so it’s that Campag corkscrew.
  15. It seems retirement has come early for Nic. I can’t see a team this late signing a rider. So it’s the end of the Q road for our involvement on the Pro Circuit then. Time to enter a new dimension! See what I did there <. 😂🤔😜 We are heading down a dead thread end gents. Any ideas on a new way one? - The Saffa Peleton sufferings - Be Pro or go home
  16. You and I both… I also have a partner that’s good for a trade in, Hybrid * mode, high mileage but serviced regularly, still running original parts Russian/ Polish / South African - Always garaged, can be custom upgraded with silicone and fillers. All paperwork in order. 😬😂😂👀 * please note: requires high maintenance
  17. Incredible stuff! That’s sheer madness man.
  18. .. best sales pitch for an event in a long time! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 sounds amazing!
  19. I see CSA is hosting nationals on the cheap….😂 with all that money you’d think a cycling town would be chosen? Moneys to tight to mention… 👀
  20. It technically has advanced in leaps but the core factor is you are still the engine unless you’re into E-scapism! 😂
  21. Yeah the fast one.. hyper to hyper, back in the day …once we were done would ride back to Steeldale start with a few pro”s of that era. Nothing like 200km’s for a day in the saddle. Insane speeds riding the gutter, no chance to even take a drink man…😂😂😂 yeah boet.
  22. Purchasing bike gear in the past was all about the relationship you had with your LBS, these days that loyalty is gone. It’s about the best possible price and quick delivery. What happened to going in, having a chat, picking up some new entries for events and just hanging out, while bicycles are spinning in the background emitting from the workshop… all these experiences was part and parcel of this sport. Now your whole purchasing experience is down to a mouse click. How sad, no wonder the bike industry is shirking, has anyone seen how many works at Wahoo and others brands are downscaling operations? Even Specialized bombed there Ambassador program just like that! One brand is stuck with so much stock they they running a buy one get one free scheme! Yeah.. tough times ahead if you selling bike gear for sure. So stores had better start up fixing services or soon they’ll be stuck with a permanent cart that’s ( ).
  23. Oh my…. What is the guy doing walking there, surly he could have heard him coming when he went over the wood ramp? Unless his got earphones on…Could of killed the guy or both… Helmet. Check✅
