Hilton.

In her post-race interview on BBC, Lizzie Deignan stated that she thought the best lady won today, Annemiek van Vleuten ???? The peleton (and the Dutch) really didn't know that Kiesenhoffer won.

Cuz the folks on here who're struggling to understand R200k - R250k for the top end bikes are not the same folks buying these from the shops.

Beautiful area and pics. The bakkie advertorial is a bit strong for the BikeHub tho The Cederberg is still on my to-cycle list, but I've stayed and hiked there in the past. I'd like more close ups of the bike, pleez

Ah no, not Porte. I found the rider Good quiz

Richie Porte?

Hayley Preen, the new national champ? Great all-rounder, I think.

I would say I ride in the XC / light trail categories, and I'm 74kg. I run a Maxxis Ikon EXO 2.2 rear, and Vittoria Barzo TNT 2.25 front. I love the Ikon on the back, especially at the appropriate lowish pressures. Barzo on the front is pretty good, relatively lightweight, but I think there's better out there. I think I'll go for 2.35 front and back when I buy my next tires.

Gawd damnit, I forgot about the geo-blocking Wasn't that only for Worlds?

Shout out to Dominic and Summit for a great experience! I purchased a chainring on Summit. Firstly, the price was equal lowest on the market, so that's great. The courier delivery fee was very reasonable, R50 less than cycle lab. Got all the necessary email comms, tracking etc. And it arrived less than 24 hours after purchasing. What a great experience.

No mention of the new Aelus Pro 51 wheelset? Which cost half as much as the top end RSL wheels here.

Fantastic pictures. Makes me really want to do this!

Update: Stellenbosch and Jonkershoek today:

It was only a matter of time. Its on the Bikehub home page now.

haha wow, I didn't notice that. And this picture is nothing close to any of the stock builds, groupset aside. Not sure what CL is trying to sell here...

I present the Vanquish Team (no pricing indicated yet):

Frame: Carbon Road Frame With 12mm Thru Axle Fork: Carbon Road With Thru Axle Groupset: Shimano 105 2 X 11 Fsa Omega 52/36t Brakes: Tektro C510 Mechanical Disc With 160mm Rotors Wheels: Road Da30 Disc Tires: Vittoria Rubino 700 X 25c Black Folding 150tpi G+ F/V BikeHub is getting their press release ready still?

So I see Titan Racing has just released what looks like a new aero road bike, the Vanquish (Comp) 2021: Its available at BikeAddict and CycleLab, for R32k and R34k respectively (though the Reynolds deep section carbons are a mistake, I think? Not at that price) Its not even on the Titan website yet. Oops, here it is.

Nicky, the bibs look really good, from the little I can see. But on your site, there is only 1 image. And almost no details. Can you give some more details about the construction, paneling, chamois, grippers etc? And more pics

So it's not that nowadays you get a discount by buying the whole bike complete (since the manufacturer gets all sorts of OEM bulk pricing. Seems to be that you now pay a premium for the privilege having a manufacturer put it all together for you. Reminds me of that article about that S-works Epic Evo custom build, where it came out lighter, more aggressive and cheaper than the full-fat S-works on retail for R199k. https://bikerumor.com/2020/08/20/fair-wheel-bikes-builds-19-8lb-specialized-epic-evo-for-less-money-than-s-works/

Google Chrome doesn't let me download the GPX files, says it appears to be malicious? Had to use MS Edge browser instead.

The Pulse carbon looks spot on for XC / marathon / trail use. 29mm internal is right on the money, as is the sub 1500g weight. Chapeau! Wish I had the money for a pair of these. This is brilliant, well done Dayle!

Its says AXS, and you can see the battery knob sticking off the rear derailleur .. so yes. Must have made Cannondale execs pretty unhappy to have held this one back during launch, waiting for Sram to announce the 10-52 Eagle cassettes. Remember everyone asking Where is the top-shelf model?

Wow, what an incredible route! Breathtaking views, literally, amazing singletrack, tough as hell. Agreed, the waterpoints were stocked with all the food, energy drink and ice water you could want. Excellent organisation. Did a lot better this year than last, which was a great feeling. Much better pacing this year, so I finished much fresher, if I can use that word. The camaraderie between riders was also great, I gotta say. It was a great vibe all around. But heck its tough hey, definitely a main contender for toughest single day of racing in SA. Well done to all who finished.

Ingenious, lovely solution Lyne.
