    If you think the price of a carbon Dual Sus 29er is bad then you should check out the prices on carbon 12" kids bikes at your nearest Specialized.

    Are there perhaps shuttles running from/to Hermanus each day?

    Choosing a Seat

    M L replied to AllenH's topic in Ask Anything

    Saddles, I find, are very personal. I also don't see a stong correlation between price and comfort. Start with your sit-bone width, then think of padding (medium to medium soft for most people), then think of cutout or no-cutout - my butt can't stand the rounded shape of a Fizik Gobi but other people find it very comfortable. Lastly, don't underestimate the comfort of a quality bib.

    Please expand on the first part. I’ve had a theory that a cassette should ladt at least 2-3 chains. Indefinitely is definitely intriguing.

    Aeropress, in my opinion, makes better coffee than french press or Bialetti. Use it every day.

    Never ever ever again will I buy/ride Conti MTB tires.

    Since it's almost Friday I'll just leave these articles/videos here. Article mixing various Shimano/SRAM components: https://www.bebikes.com/the-hub/1mmtdv5ypu0vc1p4kze6r05wtxvufp This guy literally just swapped out his SRAM RD for a Shimano one - using a SRAM shifter.

    Peet Le Roux does Bike Fits in Stellenbosch - never used him. He is twice as expensive as Irma though at R1,900. https://www.bikescience.co.za

    If you have to add shipping then you really might as well buy from Skelmized.

    My Specialized MTB shoes are a few years old and need some new inner soles. Specialized sell these for R650 (should have expected this). Anyway. Anyone repaced theirs with these or is there a well suited alternative?

    If I come across the details I’ll ring you up.

    Difficult to give mileage. According to Strava, probably around 700km if I take into consideration that I ride with other bibs as well. That is +-700km of MTB usage with sunscreen applied to my legs.

    Longer term feedback on the Vye Mirage bib: Chamois: The chamois started out feeling very comfortable. After around 3 months it doesn't feel as nice anymore. I suspect the chamois is the best part of the bib. Spandex: Spandex feels and looks sub-par. The knobs that keep the bib above your knees came off after the 2nd wash. After around the 4th wash the strip above your knee lost its shape and started to curl up. Definitely not worth the R1,200 odd price tag I payed in 2021. Quite expensive if you only get 6 months of use out of a bib for R1,200 - won't buy Vye again

    Bosch has a much nicer one that's a drill-driver. Often times you can find it for R1,200. Worth the wait.

    How much can I get for my 2017 Orange Ibis Ripley LS (Large) frame? Non-boost.
  25. M L
    Will try and find it. Found the add via google but the seller has deleted all his adds and I can't remember the profile name.
