  1. I imagine one is then going onto 'sub compact 48/32 cranks? But then again the OP still wants to go 'fast' ๐Ÿค”
  2. As Duane says it'll work just fine, in fact my son has pretty much that setup and has no issues
  3. Molto Bella! Some days you just do what you feel like ....
  4. I'm with you on that, jeez even a road bike just from a 'cafe fall' nee man ๐Ÿคจ I consider myself relatively careful but I have had carbon road bikes fall over, mostly while carefully balanced for a pic ๐Ÿ˜, touch wood nothing ever happened!
  5. Shake down ride .... all good ๐Ÿ‘ Thought this bike was deserving of a coffee ride ๐Ÿ˜
  6. @Loose cog @ChrisF The last post as I'm sure most have no interest .... certainly not going to waste that's for sure! Just tie up some loose ends, sort the magic gear and it'll be in use!
  7. Crack has been repaired ... at the painter now (miskien vandag nog he says ๐Ÿซฃ). Just a slight mod to the paint scheme, don't want to change too much. Plans being put into place but in essence a single speed TT bike I'm thinking ๐Ÿค” Time to put hang the 'uniballer' frame up me thinks so it'll be the donor for most of the parts ๐Ÿ˜€ Thanks again @Loose cog, nice to have something to focus on for a bit
  8. Yesterday .... 'Reynolds 853' cause skinny tubes are cool and it's an excuse for going slow ๐Ÿ˜› Today .... no excuse, just slow on the 'one stone bike' cause I can ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  9. How you train matters far less than how often you train ... ek se maar net ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  10. Not sure if it will help but there was another update last night .... unless you've done it already?
  11. I use a combination of an older stages GEN1 GXP on a mountain bike (I'm very careful with it, avoiding water etc.), Quark Riken on my indoor bike and a PowerCal belt Fortunately all 2023 coins ... mainly to keep an eye on the PMC though and not numbers as such Haven't had issues with any of them, touch wood!
  12. Where is @rouxtjie when you need him, he'd still have some years to go on those!
  13. If only those who had a realistic chance of winning, be it some world champs or local church bazaar race, were to attend there would be very few at just about any race. For many simply being able to take part, whether by qualifying or because you're physically able, is a privilege Maar nou ja, don't mind me
  14. Tan walls.... like silver spokes (for poor people) or 20" spinners on an Uno ๐Ÿ˜œ Not a fan of tapering but I do understand the benefits ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  15. Sunrise therapy ๐Ÿ˜Ž
  16. Pretty cool ๐Ÿ˜Ž I'm sure I have posted it before but here's mine ....
  17. Sometimes I think I'm just afraid of what might happen if I don't go ride ๐Ÿ˜œ
  18. These ones ...
  19. โ€œA bike ride may not solve your problems but it will distract you from them.โ€
  20. https://springfastone2025.myactive.co.za/CaptureDetails/Home.aspx
  21. A bug that's supposed to be attended to at some time but its been there quite a while https://www.reddit.com/r/mywhoosh/comments/1e4dyu6/export_issue_with_mywhoosh_fit_files/
  22. I don't want to do the anorak thing, I just want to use it when I need to ๐Ÿ˜œ
  23. Got one of those Ryder ones for father's day ... haven't used it out on a ride yet. Only topped up a tyre to make sure it works and get familiar with it First impression, convenient and cool you can set the pressure and it stops when it's done. No need to keep feeling the tire to get to the magic pressure ... Slower than that quick burst with a bomb though... also like with bombs you're limited to how many times you'll be able to pump I guess. Even with bombs I always carried a mini pump just in case I carry just the e-pump for my weekday rides, I'll take the risk that I'm limited by how many times I can pump. Can always call the 'team car' if I need a lift On weekends (long) rides I carry a bomb and a pump. I have been told however its a quick jump from e-pump to e- bike by some smartasses ๐Ÿ˜œ Just my 2c
