Not the time for mechanicals. Best of luck getting it sorted.

George riding that Trek rodeo style.!

The Cyclo-cross lads seem to be enjoying the ride ...

My earlier post suggested checking the seating of the valve ... been on the receiving end of that frustration often enough. ???? Either don't pierce the tape adequately or otherwise just not tightening the valve properly... ????‍♂️ I'm pro tubeless but it can sometimes be a pain.! ????

As if Paris Roubaix route isn't tough enough ... ????️ Fasten your seatbelts.!

Newer wheel designs are impacted less by crosswinds and it's also something you manage better after having used them for a bit. That said, 40-45mm seems to be the sweet spot nowadays. ????

Slow leaks can be difficult to locate. Like Knersboy said, tape can often get damaged when replacing tyres or even just lift a bit from the rim. Also check that the valve is still seated properly and that you're not losing air there. Sometimes it also takes a few rides for the tyre to seat and seal properly.

I did many years ago ... I'm a lot wiser now. ????

Batteries are available ... R200-R300 from what I've seen. Some are replaced by simply unplugging while others may need cutting and reconnecting of a cable or two. Check the You Tube videos for the 500 unit.

Alaphilippe defending title with all he's got.!

Did Shova some years ago and found the point to point nature of the original route difficult to manage logistically in terms of getting to/from start/finish. From that point of view I would appreciate it being within Durban but understand the frustrations of the late change.

I've generally had similar good experiences with Buycycle. Variety is sometimes a little limited.

Top 20 on the scale in any group. ????‍♂️????

Agreed. They fly up Mandela Boulevard and Edinburgh Dr/Wynberg Hill and have no respect for us bigger fellas who only start warming up along the Blue Route freeway. ????????

There's also the option of collect and deliver which some stores/3rd parties already offer.? ????‍♂️

Looks lik a light sprain ... shouldn't have slowed you at all. ???? Eina.! No repeats please ...

I watched some episodes of TheMove during season which featured some guest appearances from that list. One thing's for sure, Tyler and Floyd were not on the 50th guest list. ????

Be happy you got seeded. No email received (yet). ☹️

I must confess, I seldom comply ... ????

A mate of mine thought exactly that.! He'd enter every year and if memory serves, actually only rode it once.

Aerodynamics ????‍♂️

I'm sure a certain Lance would be more than willing to come on board to help French cycling ....

No issues with Merlin, if the price is right relative to local. Take advantage while you still can on Shimano - most other stores have stopped shipping this and some other brands to SA.

Haven't been watching but just heard. Very unfortunate after making good progress into top 10.
