Maybe 2024, I can be a desert rat?

Love these write ups… makes me want to see more of what’s out there! Before we sell everything to the Chinese! 🤭

.. and ek seen “niks” wat ek l kan afford! 🤭

I had an issue where the station went down due to load shedding, so they dispatched bomb squad to collect all boxes and took it to a central collect office. They sent an email and updated me on what had happened. Pudo has changed the once monopoly of the Post Office. So hail to the new players.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 RIP Post Office. Sorry, I can’t send you my condolences… 🤭

All I see… is Fignon flashbacks! 🤭

Well Done, another steel roller repurposed! Reminds me of your blue one…

You said. Beer! Take my money. 😃

We need to call him… arrange a collection… my Dentist tells me his running low on front teeth….

Checkout the great coverage of this epic event! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WzfX4ArOIYw&pp=ygUJQmlnIHN1Z2Fy

Any feedback here?

Yeah… only Real winners was the shark guys running the show… 12 percent premium for what? Dodged a bullet me thinks, not even current stock and when you see stuff not in boxes it’s claims and swop outs, but if you know, you know. Glad that “N” chapter is finally closed, they had it coming…

Oh sorry don’t call the grammar Police! I’m a repeat offender! 😂😂😂

Pretty shocking that this issue is over a decade old and now they making a fuss. It’s not a full recall as they are not offering replacements. It requires failure first so not sure how they gong to handle this one in the US were a class action law suit can be filed. Many customers were not offered a full replacement for years under the so called warranty so they will now of course come forward and push that button. But really what you expect from Shitmano, there are still plenty Campag cranks spinning over with the no issues…30 years later. Italians must be laughing their heads off. In my personal opinion if Shitmano cared this should have been resolved 10 years ago, who still has the proof of purchase? Well played, well played. Expect a wonderful migration in 2024 and beyond. They truly deserve a proper backlash ive this one. Especially when you hear of the horrific accidents this has caused over the years. Some people can never ride again, this is proper serious ****! Now let’s see if they take another ten years to address leaking hydraulic breaks, here lies another can of worms!

Again the UCI is questionable, why not find a smaller city who can run this in the best allocation time possible? I Wasn’t enjoying this when you know as a rider that you are compromising speed and balancing safety as the sun sets and the visibility is low. This is such a poor start to a very tough Stage race. I know weather has its own agenda but riders safety should be a priority at all times at professional level.

Remember when everyone said.. whoa j! 29inxh is too big but it has huge advantages. Look at us now. We accepted the talk kid in the back of the room, but the trade off is his called his cousin, because cyclist are suckers for tech or is it, our wallets? LOL. it might not win in the looks department because the weight of those tires will not be under 1.1kg so essentially your outter rolling mass now increases. But I’d be very interested in it’s ride characteristics as that what made 29 rule over thE now dead 26inch. I’m wondering if this actually would be easier to pedal but I’m thinking disc brakes might need to jump up in size… let’s say a 275? 🫢 They taking this seriously as they road showing it now so… clearly WTB are wanting to be first in line of the market bites. Word has it that China already are tooled up ready for the knock off spin if this takes off. So let’s see, if 700c gets a big brother and then we call it quits on bicycle wheel size for good!

Competitive pricing can only exist if there is a market of brands, we don’t have that many. So even middle market fillers are considered high end purchases here. LOL. So I’d have to agree with 👆🏻!

…seems like WTB have a prototype they’ve been developing. Will the market embrace yet another gravel addition to tire / wheel combo? I’m going to follow this development closely?🤔

… I do alot of early morning walk/runs and I don’t see cycling dudes anywhere… road is dead. Too dangerous and our roads are shocking, who wants to go risk been a tar cowboy? The truth is the good old days of road events almost every weekend are gone. Plus the sport is becoming less accessible to many, to start this sport now, a parent would need to take an extra bond out to cover costs. Gravel is the future.

I thought all MTB events are catering for just them? So how many event’s actually allow gravel bikes to participate?….🤔

.. the only “danger” I see is…if a Dassie would cross into those spokes! 😂😂😂

… and then. There was silience. 😂😂😂

TurboMatic not good enough? Even back in the day…🤔

Wow… so a guy asks about recommending bike fitting options and then by natural twists and bumps we arrive with a dude who finally found the best mechanic? Sounds like a Netflix series in the making? 🤭 Love U guys. Just keep pedalling.

The floating rear brake setup is Rather interesting from a technical perspective.

I’m finding more and more that items that are SOLD are not been updated or removed by the seller, almost a weekly accordance. Guys if you using this fine service provided this platform I suggest you follow through with the whole process, which means doing your part in maintaining your ads that are genuinely STILL for sale or been SOLD. Let’s refrain from a “junk mail” mentality.
