Sorry Meezo.

And a new build begins. An On One Hello Dave. A super long & super slack aggressive steel hardtail. It will be totally murdered out.

The difference could be explained by the fact that you’re measuring power at different places; ie, at the crank arm and the rear cassette. There might be a loss of power between the crank and the rear cassette through friction (BB, chain, chain ring, rear derailleur pulleys etc.) the difference may be the loss in power. similar principle in measuring the power of a car. Power at the flywheel vs. power at the wheels. I created a Zwift 125w 15 min Custom workout to just hold the resistance on 125w and while the trainer is on that I measure the Stages on my Garmin and there is around a 30-61w higher jumping between 160w and 186w Both have been calibrated many times with the results staying the same.

The fundamental difference between the two is that the Turbo Levo Comp has a 700wh battery vs. a 500wh battery for the Turbo Levo. The bigger battery is definitely the way to go.

You should really get yourself a proper motorbike then as speed seems to be pretty high on your needs list. I also have a Levo and the 32 kph restriction doesn’t in any way interfere with my riding. I never climb anywhere close to 32 kph and I’m on par with normal bikes when descending trails. I just get more runs in on any given ride. I also hope that you are considerate enough not to frighten or startle other cyclists should you pass them at such high speed differentials.

I think the point of paraffin oil in the concoction is to make the wax less brittle once it sets and thus ensuring it thinly coats the metal surfaces of the chain (to prevent rust) and more importantly is retained within the chain rollers. It would seem Martin PJ's suggestion of paraffin oil from Dischem might do the trick. Just don't drink the stuff because it is a laxative! Also found this article which seems to indicate that pharmaceutical paraffin oil might be the right "paraffin oil" https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/paraffin-oil I could be wrong though...Im not a chemical engineer.

Presumably when you mention lamp oil, it’s not normal paraffin? Closest lamp oil I can find is the stuff mixed with citronella to keep the mozzies away. Where have you bought lamp oil?

JPX pepper gun. In my opinion a better alternative to a firearm, pepper spray or a telescopic baton. https://peppergun.co.za/products/jpx-protector/

I have the Sennheiser PXC-550 wireless BT headphones. Pretty handy when the office becomes a little noisy and you need to tune out. The things I love about them: - Rich and deep sound. - They also have the ability to accurately reproduce a sound stage. - Battery lasts about 30 hrs. - Lift the right ear cup off your ear and it automatically pauses the music. Music resumes as you place the cup over your ear again. - Tap the right earcup in various combinations to: adjust volume, stop/play, switch noise cancellation on/off, skip forwards/backwards - Foldable and they come with an airplane headphone jack adaptor. - Comfortable - lol, and the best feature for the office... switch the music and noise cancellation off and the headphones transmit the sound around you...and people think you’re listening to music...but you hear everything... Negatives: They are pricey but they are being discounted at the moment as they are a year or two old already.

Been struggling with the flu since xmas. Was feeling better the last week and a half. And the darn bug made a comeback two days ago... #didnotridetoday #hopingtoridetomorrow

+1. William built my flow/hope wheels. I would not use anybody else.

Perhaps consider fitting a clutch derailleur instead, assuming you don't have one. I've not dropped a chain on my 1x10 setup (with a clutch derailleur). And another benefit is a quieter drive train from the reduced chain slap.

And your point is?

There already is such an app. It's called "cradar". Available on android only. When switched on, the app uses the phone's accelerometer to detect a sudden change in motion. You set the sensitivity. Once triggered, a countdown begins (the length of which you can set) which you must respond to by pressing a button. Failing which (assuming you are incapacitated) an SMS will be sent. You configure which cell number the SMS is sent to. The SMS will contain the gps coordinates of where it was triggered along with a message of your choice, eg, "help! I've run out talent. Send an ambulance". Been out for a while already. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=actionxl.mandown&hl=en Sorry bud. Good idea though.

Very clever. Is the "push" from the gass strut strong enough to lift the seat post when you undo the seatpost clamp without the need for you to pull the saddle up? Understand that you still need to align the saddle before closing the seatpost clamp. Again, very clever.

Nice. My 42t also arrived yesterday.

Yip, agreed. Osprey make brilliant hydration packs. Also changed from a CB. Build quality is top notch. Go check out the July 2014 edition of Mountain Bike Rider where they do a hydration pack comparison. An Osprey comes out tops.

Outdoor Escape. Bottom of Hellshoogte road in Stellies.

What an irresponsible thing to say. I've had two bad crashes and in both instances helmets were damged. How would the energy (that damaged each helmet) have been dissipated if I was not wearing a helmet?? Through my head of course.... I'm not a doctor, but simple logic dictates that there is some benefit to wearing a helmet.

Absolutely awesome.

Cassie. Yip, same question from me. Why not start a new thread? Would no doubt make for interesting reading. ;-)

Sorry bud. Glad that u at least walked away. May the thieves' crotches be infested by the fleas from a thousand camels and their fingers turn into fishing hooks.
