BikeAddict had 105 cassettes @ R850 a week or two ago which seemed well priced. Not sure if still available or how that compares to CL.

Touch base with Mongoose. (see post above) Perhaps you two can work out something.

Suspect you'll be hard-pushed to find compact chainrings for a 130 bcd crank. Newer Shimano cranks are 110 bcd with 53/39 and 50/34 rings both fitting that standard.

What I realise with threads like these is give it enough time and just about all brands will get a mention. Many are equally good (at similar price), but unfortunately not necessarily equally good for different people.

Recent Shimano cranks have all seemingly been prone to scuffing and scratching. Not sure if there's much that can be done but perhaps touch base with Paul: https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/bike-services-and-repairs/575455/plus-spray-werks-launches-its-services?referrer=top

All of the best with this venture Paul. Please keep posting pics of these very cool refurbs. 👌

As long as they stay in business ... Have seen many attempts at chinese wheels under local brand but only a few are successful.

You get today's Boom stick.!

Chasing the elusive sub 3 could crack just about anyone it seems ...

Recognized as the best of his generation and the biggest threat to blue train. (when he was competing at the same time)

As I read this I heard the commentator saying "and Froome goes off the front". 👍

And withinn touching distance of the guys ahead him. 👌 Next couple of mountain stages are going to be great to watch.! And of course there's the small matter of a TT.

Turns out he's human after all.! Looking forward to tomorrow. Gonna take a big effort to turn this one back in his favour especially since it seems Jumbo have the superior team.

No you didn't ... 🙊 That said, even Lance watches daily in awe judging by comments on his podcast.

Cyclists really shouldn't throw those embarrassing punches, not even The Badger. 🙈

Handlebar tape is as versatile as duct tape. 👍

Handlebar tape was my preferred option. Also worked great on the little one's pram when racing. 🤣

They've got you covered. Stored together with the Livestrong bracelets.

Sounds like your TTT needs work - stop riding into each other. 🙃 Good luck with insurance - claims really do go under the microscope nowadays. (and that's perfectly fine)

Pity no 28mm for us comfort riders. 🙈

Some specials on Pirelli this morning. Anybody know which model it is that they're riding.? Was keen to try the Race but maybe better off sticking with the workhorse Cinturato. 🙈

An unfortunate reality.!

Lance's go to machines at the moment if that makes any difference ... 😉

Top end bikes are all likely to compare favourably. Get the one that excites you most.! I'm sure many Hubbers wish that they had your problems. 🤣
