And then there is Boost and non-Boost axle spacing...

I also don't understand what people are complaining about....IF a person riding an ebike in a race does wind up competing for a podium then perhaps there may be issues...from what I can tell the guys on ebikes, cripple or not didn't even get close to the top 50?

Or as Deadpool calls them....rubber masturbation shoes....

Sure dude....

Legally (if that is a thing in SA) the bikes assistance level cannot exceed 250w and it must stop assisting at 25kph to be classified as an electric assist bike - anything outside those parameters is then classified as a motorized vehicle and needs the necessary licencing as per a motorbike - number plates etc... As for enforcing....well we kinda know what our police force is like when it comes to enforcing traffic laws...

So can anyone say that they were passed by an ebike at Sani? did the guys on ebikes place or come close to placing at all? if so then some arguments may hold water.... Make no mistake - an ebike you still have to pedal, and in some cases you have to work harder especially when you reach the 25km/h limit and the motor stops assisting....to maintain the speed over 25kph is hard work... I have done a few rides on an ebike and yes you can and do have a faster average speed, however you don't necessarily go zooming past everyone

probably over inflation caused the crack...

Fek I walked away from a sale when the guy tried to squeeze me for R300 more than he advertised...you were prepared to pay R5k extra?.... sounds very much like a scam....

IMO, when there are athletes that behave professionally then there may be some sponsors that will put in money and let them become "Pro's"....I have seen some pretty shocking behaviour from individuals that if I were a potential sponsor (or current sponsor) I would not put my money in... I am not talking about being a hooligan and the like - I am talking about an athlete that gets sponsored let's say a pair of glasses from brand X and within a week or two they are seen on social media wearing brand Y sunnies...

Wax is for candles, oil is for chains and moving parts...

Thank you! Was an awesome day out and thank you for putting this event on!

Been looking for a link to the results with not much success?

So does that leave Greg Lemond the one and only winner of the TDF...ever?

I use one - as DC Rainmaker says for dedicated interval sessions it may not be ideal or accurate as a direct measure power meter... As a decent gauge of average power it is perfect and cost effective.

Look were arguably the first company to bring "clipless pedals" to the market under Bernard Hinault most famously, did they develop the idea....that would be the debatable issue. Shimano definitely did not get input from Look to develop their SPD pedals....

I have ridden Shimano pedals for over 20 years and have never felt the need unmentionable urge to change splash money on the latest and greatest - not saying that these Look pedals are a bad product... Look changing the platform is a way of saying Shimano has been right all these years... same thing as Manitou forks refusing to change the way you mounted disc calipers for many years because it was simpler and worked - the rest of the industry "suddenly" came out with the same post mounting system on their forks....

He is looking for the other way around - BSA to BB30, you have a BB30 to BSA adapter...

As per the QnA on that site, your frame needs to have a 68mm wide BB shell for this to work, and as mentioned a true BB30 crank may not work as it is slightly narrower.... Perhaps a safer option would be to sell the BB30 crankset you have or try and trade it for the GXP option which will work 100% rather than buying adapters that may or may not work...

Yeah Pneumonia is no joke to try and recover from...it took me about 3 months after the week in hospital to feel good again on the bike. As mentioned - a bit of temp controlled indoor sessions help, and just ride easy - do not stress the respiratory systems

Yeah I always have my lights on flash, regardless of the weather...

Glad I had lights on this morning - very misty/foggy going through some of the river valleys in the Fourways area....

Having worked in a similar model business, importing and distribution, I can attest that sometimes the "lack of ability to keep up with orders" is sometimes down to the lack of ability to keep up with payments to them so they keep shipping...and thru no fault of Cyclic perhaps but maybe they held off on payments to try and get a better exchange rate etc...

It is a bit swak for sure, however you never know perhaps someone else approached Yeti and promised them they would sell double the numbers in SA ( and perhaps they have the working capital to do so) so at the end of the day - it is really business.... If you had a business supplying X to a distributor - Y for many years on a hand shake and a smile, and Mr Z comes along and says he can double your profits in the next year, are you really going to stay with Y and eek out a living? Perhaps they had negotiations that failed as Cyclic couldn't (or wouldn't) meet their targets/demands?

Agree on the above - sell as is and let the buyer sort it....that way you are not responsible for a bad repair coming back at you.... At the end of it - no amount of explaining will cut it if the guy gets upset - even if you gave full disclosure of the repair etc...

Good bike/frame for that money, a couple of things to look out for, the Trek BB gets oversized over time especially if you don't replace bearings often, basically the bearings don't sit tight in the frame and can creak or have play - this can be repaired by Trek in SA - costs around R3k. Same thing on the main pivot - check the rear triangle for play - again can be repaired by Trek....
