  1. In all the many years I have ridden in that 'Heineken' area it's the very first time that I have seen water 'flowing' down that little stream ...
  2. And I'm sure they'd find a loophole with that big blade ... anything not to warrantee it 🙄
  3. I don't believe there is anyone that doesn't know how important this is BUT it's way more difficult to achieve than what anyone thinks ... And whether we like to hear it or not we (cyclists) are a fickle bunch!
  4. Maybe because as per John he isn't 'chasing points' ? He is not chasing any points. https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/191713-the-pro-gravel-racing-thread/?do=findComment&comment=3870296
  5. As an aside ... I know quite a few bike shop owners that hardly ride regularly anymore. And yes I also know 1 or 2 that still do Just an observation
  6. It as someone told me long time ago, if you want make a million from a bike shop start with 2 million ...
  7. When your riding partners send you that "we're on our way" WhatsApp... hang out with the shift change security guards and take a pic!
  8. Don't, rather go sell encyclopedias from your car boot 🙄
  9. Bit of a roadblock and then a quick underpass ... the temperatures still pleasant enough on the Highveld
  10. DM me and I'll print you one
  11. My Tarmac Disc is one of those 'SCS' frames, stands for 'Short Chain Stay' if I recall ... Mine was one of the very first disc road models. I just run normal QR MTB hubs on mine despite what they say ... A bit tricky though because the chain can occasionally come off if you are in the big chainring and 1st on the cassette.
  12. Straight to the gravel for this build! Got a WhatsApp that has shocked my system into getting ready for one of my favourite times of the year in the south 😎👍
  13. Thanks man, no more plus ones mate 😳 I just replaced the Giant's frame with this one.
  14. My usual 29" frame, 26" fork setup ... @Pikey the style guru suggests black cages rather than white 😎 Yes @Jewbacca despite your hysterical tirade looks DO matter 🤪 Have no idea what frame that is/was as it came like that ... to avoid hub wrath would hate to put something on and find it's fake so I'll leave it 'vanilla' just like that 😶 Haven't finished the cables yet, always tough to make external cables look neat ... just taped it up, this way the drive side looks super neat at least. Slept on it and decided to go with this routing (for now)
  15. Went to collect some meds at Dischem this morning, seriously long queue... the pharmacist said despite what I thought it was more flu cases than Covid ... now whether all those 'flu' cases had been tested she didn't know ...
  16. And this lasted even less ... the previous owner either had a good sense of humor or was that fast?
  17. I'm with you on that, looks like an oversize 80's BMX bike
  18. Autumn on the Highveld ... not unpleasant 😀
  19. Anyone perhaps have a set of 27.5 gravel or slick tires lying around? Need to test a 26" frame with 27.5 gravel wheels 😎 TIA
  20. Went to mark the 'Blue Shed' for @Pikey ... and it's even on his 'good side' where he can see 🙄
  21. A lekker 'surf and turf' ride yesterday, these ladies just hanging around converting grass to milk 😎 There is something about how blue the sky is on the Highveld
