    Speak to Anton ( @Wyatt Earp ) at Craft Cycles Sunninghill - 010 634 0808 The very best!

    My bikes still keeping me sane and busy 😎 Not much to take pictures of on the Highveld in Winter/Autumn, nothing pretty to my mind anyway. Besides the sky which is always a brilliant shade of blue! Just a short amble round the suburb this morning, needed to make sure this front tubeless 'settles' ... not a great rim or tyre to work with 😟

    But with the talent of UAE ... I just shake my head

    To add to that, in my experience its not only the 'young ladies' with princesses on board, its the late for work dad's and gotta get more fares transport guys that are just as bad!

    My brothers frame after a recent coming together with a car .... in New Zealand Besides a very eina knee and road rash he is thankfully OK, in fact coming to visit in November and we'll ride 94.7 together for fun!

    Riding from Alberhoughton town side it's longer than one would think ... From the top there to Klipriver road, an interesting ride that's no lie but didn't feel 'unsafe' Just felt like doing something different

    Ma se hare 😵‍💫 Not all rides are measured by how far you've ridden or even how long, sometimes it's just where you went!

    I see those local GP ones and would desperately love to do more of them but those eye watering entry fees 😭 ... To my budget anyway!

    Maybe unrelated since it was road bike specific but I went through a period where it happened to me every so often. After it happened on 2 different bikes (so not bike related) ,turned out I was just holding the bars to tight, focused on relaxing and hasn't happened since.

    I would posit that it's more 'dangerous/chaotic', in fact a lottery even if you will, to win a sprint ... just for that I am in awe of what Cav has achieved.

    Take that back, not true you Philistine!

    Just jumping in here, hope the OP doesn't mind Struggling to use the search function for some reason Looking for a broken left mechanical shifter, gears don't have to work at all. Just brake .... mechanical

    Another update, have enjoyed it as it was but I just can't not tinker 😜 The road derailleur with an extender just looks wrong to me, so 'forward' if you will I've also been wanting a 'bigger' gear, fitted an 11-36. Now though the chain is very loose and noisy in the smallest gear Decided to try an MTB derailleur rather, of course Grumpy from the Workshop providing the necessary bits and advice! Was told as long as it says 'exact actuation' on it it'll be fine. BONUS it's bloody red 😎

    I'm excited to see the racing and how Candice and Alan do, willing them on to bring some silverware home! The only thing in the back of my mind is that I, and it's just my opinion, think there's a lot of sandbagging going on amongst the top contenders .... Thinking PFP for example
  18. NotSoBigBen
    Too lazy to look back but what happened to 'it will be all over after the 4th day' predictors? Bit of a change in circumstance for me (not in a bad way) so I watch when and where I can, enjoying it though!

    Let's be honest being an 'upstanding member' counts less and less as time goes on I've certainly been lucky, only had one classifieds experience that left a bad taste in all these years. Have had great buying and selling experiences from both newish and old members. People, the older I get the less I'm surprised by how low they will go!

    Unpopular opinion perhaps but I don't think the sanction is unreasonable, it's a critical TT in a 'rather important RACE' not some dawdling along wait till we sprint later stage, maar nou ja hier sit ons
  22. NotSoBigBen
    Looking for some free speed? Apparently they make you go faster, think I'll print me one to try 🤓
  23. NotSoBigBen
    Thought maybe something serious but was just a vaping Polo driver apparently Maybe my imagination but its a different kind of cold on the Highveld... nee man!
  24. NotSoBigBen
    It only takes a few seconds to send a WhatsApp and keep a person informed but maybe that's just me...

    Bikes don't talk back they just two wheeled friends now!
