    If your biggest concern is whether you should go ride outside albeit against the rules you are in a pretty good position ... Many just wondering if they'll survive (starvation) and if the business they either own or work for will be able to continue operating or even exist after the initial 21 days, if it goes on longer well think for yourself. 'But don't worry I'll go ride outside cause I'll be ok' I guess is what makes some happy

    Don't tell anyone but I have rollers and one of those other rear wheel only ones ... need to make space in my bike room in front of the TV

    So kwaad ek gooi sommer my eie k&k met klippe ???????? Ah well it is what it is ... Despite my abhorrence of IDT's I'll be setting up my 'pain cave' in the next day or two

    Pump it hard then submerge the tyre bit by bit in a pool or other large enough water container till you find the actual problem and solve that!

    Not as far as I know

    It is tar so should be fine but to my understanding it's closed due to Covid-19 ...

    It sure has but generally here in the deep south we don't get it served so fancy with glasses and lemons and stuff ...

    A visor on a road bike Swiss? Skud maar net my kop .... Sadly all hope is lost

    Can feel the changing of the seasons sadly but enjoying the morning rides as long as possible ... Not missing a single ride in anticipation of a possible 'lockdown'!

    Not cycling related but my wife had a heart attack 12/12/2019 ... She was a lifetime smoker, both her parents died from heart related disease. Having seen the devastating effect it had on our kids, grandchildren, family and friends she vowed there and then to stop and hasn't touched a cigarette since then thankfully! She has recovered without any major problems I must add [emoji16]

    No worries mate, we all have some or other trigger and your comments in general are 100% valid

    Stoksielalleen is how I usually ride so nothing changes for me ... the very few riders I do with others is not more than 2 or riders anyway If there were to be a lockdown, now that would be a monumental stuff up, indoor training is from the devil and that's a fact! To such an extent I'd rather take my chances with the virus as my mate PJ said to me recently [emoji12]

    Received this today, just a heads up ....

    Just going to say I sent them a picture of 4 in the bin, 2 mine and 2 from Just Cycles customers that had failed ... a normal tube rolls up small enough and the weight difference is insignificant, for me anyway

    I replaced the 29" rigid fork on my Jamis with a 26" one, looks way better and more 'correct', I don't feel so upright and more comfortable ... Hasn't changed the handling or anything so much that I can notice.

    Am I the only one not really a fan of 'gravel bars'? I run standard bars on both my gravel bikes and yes I have tried gravel bars, wide and not so wide .... Don't like them
  22. NotSoBigBen
    I told them to come their pictures with pleasure .... still have some they never fetched, told them to get lost with their threatening letters

    I have 2 sets of wheels ... The ones in the previous photo have 42mm gravel tyres mounted and I used those at SouthXSouthEast, this set has 38mm slicks (not tubeless but I run them tubeless) and I use them for most rides! Often ride out to Vaal Marina and back (+-200k's) on these, mostly gravel roads and they work a charm! 12 000+ kilometres on this bike as a gravel bike, used it as a single speed rigid before that...

    Done thousands and thousands of K's on this bike!
