Also been pondering over this lately. I'm however leaning more towards trail applications. What I could find is: - Lyne (30mm ID) - Csix (30mm ID) - slightly heavier than the Lyne. Following this.

I don’t think it’s your rim width - no matter how hip wider rims are nowadays. Ikons have less grip than Racing Ralphs, so I would stick to the current config. Maybe watch some youtube videos on cornering - it’s something I still need to work on quite a bit but have come to realize the value thereof. Tire grip will unfortunately only help us as far as it can.

Entries for W2W open on the 28th. Would have thought that it qualifies? Unless it's only going to be added once entries open.

Where is the Team Vitality race calender for cyclists? I don’t see anything on the page: https://www.discovery.co.za/vitality/race-calender

Last time I was here they had stock: https://www.outdoorescape.co.za/ - it's in Stellenbosch

If the selling point for a R200k Mountain Bike is that it has a 27.5"/29" config then you know the rate of bike-tech development is slowing down.

Discovered the best value for money Coffee Roasters.. https://gegrond.co.za/ They have a special running until end of March 2021 - 10% off if you use Coupon Code: Carb10. Medium roast Speciality coffee - I especially like the Natural Nicaragua Marsellesa (I prefer natural over washed though). I mean you just can't beat this quality at R240-R300/Kg

Nice - thanks. Ordered them on Saturday. Will be a great deal at R720 if they work as well as I think they will. Grips and saddles I want to get right - the rest of the components I can deal with but if those 2 things cause pain then MTB'ing isn't as fun.

The SA distributors are now more established. Are there any of you riding with SQ-Lab's grips? https://gpm-sports.co.za/

Any reviews on these grips? Nogals inexpensive.

I also own some. Great rand hedge and insurance against global currency debasements, massive money printing, overinflated sovereign debt levels, etc. But creating some fringe alt coin is very easy to do. Cryptocurrency scams are rife nowadays - so please don't trust the links to exchanges or random crypto coins people post here. - If you currently want to buy Bitcoin in SA, you can either buy Michael Jordaan's EC10 ETF (available from the website or Easy Equities) or you can buy actual Bitcoin from an exchange (Luno is the most established local exchange).

You sound a lot like the regular snake-oil-salesmen I have the pleasure of meeting every now and again.

Lots of people posting here about Bitcoin with post counts of less than 5. Mmmmm, interesting.

Anyone keen on buying my second-hand Saeco Poemia for R650? I want to save up for something special https://www.gumtree.co.za/a-coffee-makers/durbanville/saeco-espresso-machine/1003627849480911368727809

XT is R3000 on special at CWC. So if your wheelset is shimano type, go with XT. Cassette weighs less than the NX shimano type cassette and it looks newer for longer than the black sram cassettes. I ride GX and it is very nice. Haven't ridden XT M8000 RD and shifter yet.

Very cool thread! I use a Seaco Poemia. Bought it 3 years ago and it was my first espresso machine. Other than the Seaco, I use my aeropress. What I have found extremely helpful is how far quality coffee beans will get you. I like buying from Legado, Espresso Lab or Rosetta.

She came out really nice!

How do you okes route the RD cable? I ran it the same way the brake cable is routed, but on the drive side. Looks much neater. So it is currently going underneath the bottom bracket instead of over it en then up the downtube.

Really enjoying the build. Just stuck. Need a black headset spacer and a press fit BB.

Not building this Oneten for myself. Going to sell it for someone else to enjoy.

Eeek. Will upload the build . Any suggestions? Dropper post and at least 120mm travel is probably a given?
