  1. Take that back, no you're not 😎
  2. OK, I take that back and sorry I may have doubted or offended anyone .... really sorry to read the latest from Epic comms 🙏
  3. I'm glad the level head prevailed, well done!
  4. So those friend I know really well a doctor I know at the clinic etc. stories were just that? https://www.iol.co.za/sport/cycling/cape-epic-organisers-rubbish-rumours-of-rider-deaths-after-week-of-extreme-heat-7f900218-b836-4e31-a92e-b04dbd8215b2
  5. Go the Boss!
  6. No no you must be wrong anyone who has or is doing Epic is a tosser (or fat or rich or both) .... At least that was the vibe here for a while and it would appear still continues for some 😜
  7. Don't know you from a bar of soap but from what I've seen and interactions with you on this forum you clearly have a level head but still be careful and safe out there! Your health and wellbeing must be foremost in your mind
  8. Moving right along .... my spray painter mate had a pulmonary embolism some time ago and has not been able to ride for a while Doc says he can get back on but it'll be some time, in the meantime he wants to ride his indoor trainer a bit. The one he has now doesn't work with his thru axle MTB. Slapped this together quickly with stuff I had, help as always from the absolute best LBS guy and shop around @Graham W from The Workshop in Alberhoughton of course! Had to build a back wheel but at least this time with the addition of some brakes he can even ride it outside .... safely!
  9. Man @Furbz that Parlee is something 😲 - one day when I'm big!
  10. You'd be surprised, I bet you do .... many that hear I've done it seem to find it hard to believe. Just saying Only 1 though so can't really comment on anything here 😜
  11. Amen brother! I have as you've probably seen now built a gravel bike, drop bars but suspension fork Dis nou 'n lekker fiets!
  12. No, sorry. the ones I made were just too flimsy even for indoor!
  13. Not gonna lie .... needed all 3 gears this morning, had to "klap 'n toon" but its OK 😎
  14. "You are addicted to cycling!" There are much worse things to be addicted to my friend 😜 Looked crappy out but besides the wind, it's always there anyway, it was actually 👍
  15. Even that I think he needs lots of gears for I heard 🤔
  16. So I know an oke with a taser and another oke with a help my trap .... The taser gent says anytime we want to test, the helpmytrapper not so keen If you are or have a volunteer we can check it 🙂
  17. I must be honest that I have on (rare) occasions made what I would consider a low offer, not ridiculously so though, on something that I either didn't need now but might in the future or don't really need but it would just be nice to have .... Generally only after it has been in the ads for a while and always with the caveat added that I know it's a low offer but as per above reasons ... In all cases they have been received courteously and mostly rejected, I'm cool with that, but here and there got something I hadn't bargained on As you say the options are accept, reject, ignore or negotiate
  18. Wasn't that BigLem fellow the record holder at one time?
  19. The stories I could tell ...
  20. Those, and all these 'chipped' things are not bicycles and those are not cyclists .... Anyone would be hard pressed to convince me otherwise! Akin to the talks of races where dopers should be allowed to race each other and take whatever they want so there should be races for these help my traps where they 'outchip' each other Really sad for the many many ebike cyclists who just get saddled with this bad rap Right now I've got that of my chest ... I'll go for a ride 😎
  21. Are you even a cyclist then?
  22. As a general rule I keep seat height, level and 'KOPS' (ja ja I know 😜) the same, the rest depends on the bike and some degree of comfort Hence why I'm surprised that slight nose down feels better indoors ... Did my longest ride on that setup (1 hour) yesterday and all good
  23. That's cool! I notice though that you use it as a proper training tool, in my case it's purely to avoid EXTENDED rainy days out on the bike 😜 Happy birthday BTW 🎉
  24. Fortunately yes 😁
  25. I have this theory about the Zwifters (or take your pick of indoor poison) and Wattbikers .... Often very strong but no or very little bunch/race skills But don't mind me, just the opinion of a 'timer 🙄
