  1. I wonder if that price gets you a mechanic that flies in to fix punctures with a barista to make coffee while you wait? I wonder how many people will sign up for this “gracious” offer? I really hope some sanity prevails…
  2. Jeepers! Lourensford has some nice trails but this ridiculous. Luckily I don't think I'll ride there enough to not qualify as a guest. .
  3. Or a gravel bike with some MTB (2.1) tires... But it think it mostly depends on the current condition of the roads.
  4. Haven't done K2C in years and wasn't fit enough but I enjoyed/suffered through it and I was really happy to have suspension on the downhills. Took it real easy, stopped often and even helped out with a few mechanicals. We were very lucky with the weather. I rode quite far back so there was alot of e-bikes passing us, wonder if some of them ran out of battery? As always a nice race, I'll (hopefully a fitter and leaner version) be back!
  5. I know it's a Friday so here we go... Terms like "Bargain", "Deal", "Massive Discount", etc. etc. is very objective and I don't think they add value in adverts. The reason you are discounting your very expensive old bike is the fact that it is not selling for the price you think it is worth, you are not selling it for a discount. Rant over, have a great weekend.
  6. Yes, 130F/120R would be amazing. The Epic 8 Evo is specced like that.
  7. Nice bike and good to see big companies still trying to deliver better "cheaper" bikes. I wonder if they will do a Chisel Evo?
  8. My 2007 Kona Explosif. Just a really nice bike that rode amazing. It snapped on the top tube one day and I had it fixed with a "patch" while I had to wait for a replacement frame. That frame eventually outlived the replacement frame and broke on the chainstay many years later. So much fond memories on that bike. Those wheels do look so small today...

    Event question

    I did Lindani very long ago and it was great!
  10. The Marin Wolf Ridge is another serious contender.
  11. As a >100kg cyclist myself I wish/hope I'm running at a deficit to become a <100kg cyclist... This is obviously not working for me
  12. @Pandatron, you have some reprimanding to do...
  13. Frustrating and seems to be a more common occurrence/higher risk when buying online... I bought sunglasses that arrived broken and another item had parts missing, I was refunded both times but still a major waste of time. Takealot won't accept returns immediately at their pickup points so you have to log a return and go back at a later stage. Hope you the issue sorted, "die wiel draai'... Part of me wishes you can charge for the time/effort spent on issues like this (and answering telemarketing calls).
  14. Use Bikehub pay... The small amount of commission is worth it.
  15. Items arrived and delivered to my work by a courier. Using them in the back of a bakkie, my previous mounts was higher from the baseplate than these and they have more axle adaptors. Quite a bit cheaper than Holdfast and if it can work for you it might be an option.
