    As I'm heading out the door I hear wait Grandad wait! My 🐻 to tell me that if I see a car I must stop 😍 2 okes pass me on MTB's, one commenting on my road 'one by' says to his mate 'you see a dinner-plate sized low gear and a long dangly derailleur isn't necessary to get up here' 😂😂

    Ai ai ai some Philistines here 😝 But build whatever blows your hair back ...

    Thanks Chewie! *goes on a brake quest* The rest I do have ... yes even the bar end shifters 👀
  4. NotSoBigBen
    Scrap that idea ... just remembered why I didn't try this kind of option long time ago ... it's a mission (i.e. I didn't get it to work) to get mtb shifters and brakes mounted on what is essentially a cut down road bar ... it's a different diameter Anyway if there's a solution I'm all 👂👂

    Damn it .... now you've put an idea in my head 😏 I have some 'bullhorn' bars, a failed idea for my commuter bike ... spare hydraulic brakes, 10sp shifters and a frame I have a fork, not rigid but what the heck it's only for mucking around 😎 I think an option 1 bike would be a hard sell but who knows?

    I was a bit unsure but decided to just 'roam' not to far from home so I could get back pretty quick if it started to rain. The weather gods were on my side thankfully. Like you I knew that if I didn't go and it didn't rain, I'd be miserable with myself all day.

    One of those 'are you riding or are you hiding" days on the Highveld! All is good in the 'hood, my man Alvaro and Ducati are SBK world champs 🏆

    Something different today ... really good fun but with a tinge of sadness. Times change and I guess the things you expect to see won't always be there 😏

    If it was me I'd get a hardtail 'help-my-trap'

    Good thinking Batman! They also pretty strong 💪

    If I had the bucks I'd certainly get one, or 2 of those👍 Would make my life easier, as you say chainline also crucial!

    I have a specific dislike of tensioners .... They always look zeff to me 😎 Having said that I have sometimes spent days, literally, to find a specific 'magic gear' with the correct ratio for the application be it road or MTB ... And even then if it's ridden a lot it'll eat chains But if the aesthetics of the bike is important it is well worth it ☺️

    Saw this on FB earlier for what it's worth?

    Oops wrong thread ... sorry
  18. NotSoBigBen
    Like you neither do I but I do read the 'news' every so often .. I assume my wife and I are part of the 10 people who were in bed Sunday night at 9 as well 😜
  19. NotSoBigBen
    Besides that CX whippersnapper 'Pook Pieterse' beating the established ladies .... Nah not really

    I'm aware that the colour may be a bit sensitive to some sports fans after yesterday ... sorrie ne It was Steely Dan's turn though and I'm happy to report that I was able to keep up with one of those yellow tuk-tuks with the 4 wheels on a climb 😎
  21. NotSoBigBen
    'Depends on your legs' as I was bluntly told by a 'mate' 😲 Apparently mine are in no danger 😞
  22. NotSoBigBen
    Reminds me the time a few years ago my wife accompanied me to get a road bike tyre at a local bike shop .... Shop assistant - "that'll be 780" My wife - "stuff that I just replaced a tyre on my f#£%ing car and it cost less than that!" (My wife doesn't swear as a rule) I did get some discount!
  23. NotSoBigBen
    A quick spin to make sure all is good again .... yes it certainly was! Great to have my son join on what he affectionately calls his 'NOTARELLO' ... Will organise the necessary vinyl to be cut this week 😎
  24. NotSoBigBen
    Sometimes it's just a good idea to call time on a ride ... nothing bad, nothing wrong, not even that far from home! Called the team car, not often I do that 😎 Tough conditions and a decision made this week, meaning not many calories in 😊
  25. NotSoBigBen
    True ... I have a 'few' bikes and only 2 of them have Di2, both road bikes It's not like the rest are crap to be honest they all work, for me personally I just like the clean look and of course that servo sound 🥸
