Rough start, but welcome! I avoid roads on all together. Mountains and dirt only, for me, preferably where no cars can go. Still worried about the ebikes though😅

I have done a 1x conversion on that crank, think I used a wolf chainring with Simano Zee derailleur (The whole conversion cost me around R2000) And keeping it 1x10 also reduces cost, as you can re-use the shifter. I wont spend too much extra, as there may be better value for money upgrades on the bike

Thanks, think Im going to try them (PWC) out, was hoping red barn changes its opening again to 0600.

Hi everyone, is there any nice trails around midrand, which opens at 0600? want to do some riding before work, but seems the near ones open at 0700.

Keep in mind, the fire not all bad, every few years a fire is required to support the growth of Fynbos. Dont think Jonkers had a fire in more than 10 years, so not all bad. https://www.kbrc.org.za/news/fynbos-and-fire/#:~:text=Fire%20acts%20as%20mineralizing%20agent,certain%20period%20after%20the%20fire.

Why are the mountain bikers concerned? You are mostly not using public roads (Like if I ride my Scrambler, no license or anything) I believe in any case bikes should be on the dirt, just a hassle to actual motorized vehicles on the road

Maybe a licence system can have a learners... where cyclist learn they should also stop at a red light, like the other road users.

Way back there used to be bicycle licenses, My dad's old bike still has a few of them on. Im all for licencing, and then at least there is a foot to stand on for cycle lanes

Also got a bite from Luts Denys

Not yet, but hoping once all these things blow over it starts picking up and maybe a little boost once they get kraken running again, haha. But BTC is like america, it sneezes and the rest of the world gets flu, haha

Hopefully today is the day we see the recovery.... this massive drop this week gave good opportunity to reshuffle my portfolio. Whats your top 3 coins you are looking at today? XLM, ADA and TRX is where im at, with XRP being my stable investment!

Havent been online in a while, but feel like riding this weekend. Anyone riding Saturday or Sunday? Dont really want to ride alone, a helmet is not protection enough, haha

Here is my info, when I changed over last year: Think CRC have even better specials now. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/142167-1x10-switch-from-scratch/
