  1. I've been doing plenty off gravel riding, 1x chain ring will limit the top speed and limit the steep climbing ability. I rather prefer 2 x setup, more to chose from. i like to go where it's rough and steep. So no thanks to 1x.
  2. Hi all Mankele MTB park and accommodation, open again for visitors. Thanks to GZ Adventures for taking over management, after short closure. Hope to see you there, many more things to come hoping to see races back on the new calendar for 2021. +27 (0) 10 001 4253 info@gzadventures.com https://mankele.co.za/
  3. I need to change to different size that's why using code on bearing no use that's why I posted specific size. I've been to 5 different bearing places. Earliest is in 2 months time
  4. ID 15 OD 26 Width 5 mm sealed Where can I get. I need 4
  5. A good Gravel grinder routes in and around Nelspruit. Contact me (Andre ) if you in the area for the weekend. from easy 35 km to 90 km routes, depending on you fitness level. About 60% gravel 40% tar.
  6. Why not instead off doing the old regular races, try a new race, that is smaller and with more personal touch and go to a place where you've never been! Cyclist is so much creatures off habit, I try to at least every year do 3 to 4 new races that I have not done for few years or never before. You meet new people and get to do more races by doing more smaller ones rather than the over priced larger ones.
  7. Few months ago bought l Momsen R355 gravel bike carbon, with Shimano 105 group set. I've done around 380km on it since, and it handles the rough gravel and technical bits very well. Only drawback and that probably is with most gravel bikes is, handles bad on corrugated and thick sand roads. But jeep track and single track no problems. Best purchase in a long time, will sell, road bike soon, I got very board on the road. Changed few things, and will continue to improve to suite my riding style.
  8. I've sold many bicycles and frames over last 15 years and if anything more than R5000, I make sure to get full ID, company, address that actually shows he works there. And i get them to take bike or frame to legit Cycling shop and then courier will collect it there. Friend off mine lost his snazzy Scott road bike that ways R35000 gone, money was in his bank and next day payment was reversed. Bank was not very helpful in getting his money back.
  9. This new one is a very bad replica to the original one I had many years ago https://www.norco.com/timeline/img/photos/1973.jpg
  10. I bought a Momsen R 355 one Carbon gravel, and I can't wait to take it for a spin this weekend, should be here before end today. Order it from EVO bikes they had special on during lock-down R25999.00. That was the cheapest place I could find everywhere else more than that. I'v been using my road-bike to ride gravel, just a bit to bumpy with the skinny tires. Hopefully the wider tires a bit more comfortable. We have lots off options here in Nelspruit for gravel riding. Anyone else bought one? If you have give some feedback on the ride review.
  11. I agree with you on that point off new tech and then every second rider wants it and nothing else. Marketing very clever.
  12. Cool thanks, I see they prefer to fit boosted more to trail bike as it would make more sense.
  13. Hi there, I see lots off marketing hype about Boosted and non-Boosted Frames and components. Please explain the technical side off it and where is it applied to. Also on which bikes will this make the most difference? We not all bike mechanics so for those in the industry enlighten us that do not know.
  14. I've been riding to work , and its better now with less traffic around, there is a very slim change off getting infected if you ride or train alone. So I'm all for training outside.
  15. Jip going out at 4:30 no traffic and less people, so its sort off isolation ride alone. No contact with people just myself, fortunately our company working through this time. We part off the food packaging supply network, that needs to keep going.
