Reviving an old thread, what is the rear axle spacing on these bikes?

What is wrong with your "dream bike" that you are selling it so soon?

This could have been the Bikehub version of the Grim Donut! https://www.pinkbike.com/news/video-the-grim-donut-part-2-the-right-amount-of-stupid.html I think it's about time bikehub does a "Bleek Koeksister" build.

Hi Cliff I rode at Klipheuwel quite a while ago, it wasn't great but its not that bad. https://bicyclesouth.co.za/listings/klipheuwel-trail-park/

It depends on what you consider close. GRTP or Witfontein might be your best bet but a bit of a drive.

Can a dropper post remote work? I see Wolftooth makes a 31.8 mm clamp version and you could Evobikes.

I couldn’t sleep the firts night I had my new machine, all that tasting is a lot of caffeine.

I had my Kona frame welded with a plate to enforce it up a few years back, luckily the agents/Kona was willing to let me do this while I waited for a replacement frame. The toptube had a crack and it was quite a sketchy ride back home after the initial crack.

I got an old Russel Hobbs Espresso machine from my dad and intend to use it at work. Any tips on getting the most out of it? Should I "temperature surf" it like my Silvia?

It looks like the same frame as the current one so no massive media launches etc. Model years are becoming really weird, we have 4 months left of the year and 2021 models start selling.

July was a good month! Nice to get fitter and stronger, longer days and good weather certainly helps. Now just to keep momentum and I'll hopefully be in double figures by the end of the year.

It is quite expensive but I was very lucky that my friends bought it for me as a birthday present last year.

I recently discovered "From The Top" by CyclingTips, really cool stories on how SRAM, Strava, Rapha, Canyon etc. got started. https://open.spotify.com/show/1jA29mWjW6Lb1Y9eiz6G5q?si=JI3GA-3nRZie3Cp9wiav1w

I'm very happy with my OneUp EDC, you can either thread your steerer or put the tools in a pump. It's not the cheapest option but it's really good qaulity. https://trailtechcycles.co.za/products/oneup-edc-tool-system-no-pump https://trailtechcycles.co.za/collections/oneup-components/products/oneup-edc-top-caps-various-colours https://trailtechcycles.co.za/collections/oneup-components/products/oneup-edc-plug-pliers-kit In addition to Specialized, Bontrager (Trek) and Granite Design also make similar units. https://www.granite-design.com/stashmultitool I've seen the Granite Design stuff at Outdoor Escape in Stellenbosch. Giant also has quite a few options available for storage and Wolftooth is another option to look into.

I can vouch for WTB rims, I'm on the heavier side and my i23's haven’t given me any problems in the last 5 years. Let's just hope I didn't just jinx myself.

I’m looking at these upgrades and I’m wondering what would make me consider upgrading my Fenix 3 HR. Mobile payments is already available and could be very handy but I’ll seriously consider upgrading once they include InReach (or possibly cellular capabilities). That would make it really good in case of emergencies.

Really handy that manufacturers make guides like this, One-Up has a similar one on their website. I thinks something like the SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger is a step in the right direction, it has M12x1 thread and the idea is to be compatible across a number of bikes.

This could also be an option if you want an MTB riding jersey. https://www.specialized.com/za/en/mens-enduro-drirelease-merino-3-4-jersey/p/161533?color=246840-161533 It looks like they have a long sleeve as well but only in Medium for some reason.

Looks like you guys are in luck! This post seems to suggest the next generation Spark would be able to carry two jerry cans! Obviously just a bad translation. https://www.brujulabike.com/scott-spark-2021-en/

Seeing that Hooligan reminded me of this photo way back in MBA and obviously had me looking for it for the last few hours... Interesting that plus tires (19"x3") and 29'ers both appeared around the same time.

No real change but I'll get there, riding a bit more and building trail should hopefully help.

Yeti SB115 and Transition Spur is out today and possibly even more Evo than the Evo.

So I pay close to R1500 and don't exactly know what I'm getting? Is there some form of questionnaire that you at least know what items the person already has or needs? One only needs so many pumps, multi tools, water bottle cages or pairs of socks, unless its really something special.

Your local Bearing Man could be a good place to start. RS Components would also stock most of the items you want but they can be quite expensive.

I'm sure they would appreciate a call 22:00 at night when I'm doing "research", how difficult can it be to stop redirecting us to a blank website. I'm not necessarily in the market for a YT but this doesn't really inspire confidence in their operation. This doesn't inspire confidence for their operation.
