  1. My brother in law is big into old bicycles with motors, he has found a nice motor and is looking for an old steel frame bike to fit the wheel/motor combo onto I will ad pics the pic of the bike is what came up with the engine number, but He does not specifically want the same he just want an old school steel frame. I thought maybe even an old Post office bike ???

    Hot Foot

    I battled for years eventually I went with the broadest shoe at the time(spez), I wore those shoes to destruction, I literally bought a used set of the same model shoes off a friends feet because spez didnt have the same shoes years later Spez do a wider shoe mine is 8 2c the 2c as I understand is for wide feet, I bought 2 sets as i tried many makes looking for a shoe I could use the closest i got to my old shoe was Lake, they also make shoes for wide feet but I still had hot foot also according to Spez foot template I shouldnt wear an insert, I put in the blue insert, and now all my shoes even normal day to day shoes have them in and at the end of the day my feet are 100S go to a spez shop stand on the foot template and see what they say, as I said they told me no insert I knew my feet were hot and I had nothing to lose I think the insert was R200 problem solved no hot foot,,,, and it does not have to go in a spez shoe(but the do have nice broad ones)
  3. My ritchey steel, is lighter than my cannondale lefty ????????
  4. N + always FTW went out today with vetseun gravel grind in corrugated bloem my old school steel rigid worked just fine enough so that tomorrow is another out ride ps did I mention bloem is corrugated
  5. On any other forum all the answers would be wrap your head with foil and report back to US THE EGGSPERTS but seriously vaaark I will be following to read the end result with interest
  6. As above N+ works i have a few options not a gravel specific, but I find myself using this the most lately, for commutes(urban and gravel) cruising around our little mtb track, gravel grinds the N+ always applies I must say the whole angle of better than a road bike, but not as fast, but not as comfortable as a mtb, this is lighter than my scalpel and it’s rolling suites my slow speed anyway
  7. I know cyclists in brakpan and bloem who sniff glue, never heard of the salt angle
  8. Getting my bike to and from my LBS is a pain in the butt, I’ll gladly ride up and down as I have a great relationship built up and it’s worth the effort, and I know their quality and std i find a relationship with the LBS is much more beneficial
  9. I hear u and u right, but BUYERS AND SELLERS will never a)find the discussion b) understand the innuendo c) give a vaaaark what random people are saying VIA VIA not a direct sale/purchase agreement
  10. I’m not asking for “old” hub i agree and agree to disagree but I do feel feedback is essential and as a service provider I only see the positives
  11. I left hub long ago and asked for my account to be locked many reasons, mostly my perception of the community and the change, and I stopped riding and felt I had nothing to contribute pre the “crash” I asked via a member to ask Matt to open my account purely for classifieds i am a bike whore and I buy much more than my wife knows or much more than I should every now and then I look at the topics mostly race reports, or upcoming events i know there is a thread ASKING/Begging admin/Matt to open the comments section and many Hubbers asking for clear reasoning behind this im not going to read N questions as to why we can’t comment, and I saw there are a few Hubbers “demanding “ response my point is , MATT IF YOUR FOCUS IS SALES ????????????????Good for you bud, your pass time became something more, well done but if u are genuinely only interested in a sales forum and u don’t care about delicate LITTLE TULIPS FEELINGS WHY THE VAAARK do u not allow comments, I have never bought a vehicle , asset, or used a service provider who didn’t give a **** about LEVEL OF SERVICE PROVIDED so,,,, Please report my lack of gramma and swearing enough for Matt /admin To tell everyone WTF or maybe I crack a PM /warning, because I buy a lot and I get great service and great prices and just rating a seller to me feels wrong its an experience (in my case ???? only been great) but all sales are not created equal EVER proper feedback is essential
  12. Hell NO MY BIKES MY BABIES my bike shops (multiple) know me, they all KNOW MY BIKES KNOW if my bikes come in where are the skuff marks and and keep it that way my guys at my work even know if they wash my bikes and if there is a new mark, call me and run it past me even my 12 year old cycling partner (daughter) knows, fall and the bike gets scratched not the end of the world,, scratch it because u not paying attention BEEG PROBLEM my LBS X3 all know that **** just won’t fly and I love them all for knowing that
  13. Doesn’t add up I stopped cycling for approx 6 years i gained the same weight as a huge toddler and I got back reasonably fast I’m 48 now I started again in Jan I’m not a race snake by no stretch of the imagination but I can hold a semi decent average and I’m still a huge cyclist Another option/possibility or question have you had covid and could you not be experiencing LONG COVID I have a few mates who are under DrS care and trainers trying to build fitness back its not easy and if done incorrectly it’s actually very harmful long term to your heart and lungs of my mates who are really battling are the ones who had minor symptoms ????????‍♂️
  14. Cois, we have not met I hope to meet u one day, again on a ride this weekend me and another Hubber were talking about your insane strength and positivity, pal most people would have given up mentally the day you received your first consult. Keep fighting many Hubbers I know log in just to check in on you,????????????????????????????????
  15. love love love it,,,, my partner (my daughter) would hate it as she thinks afternoon rides mean I dont work for my scraps, I jump on the bike for sales to pic up, because as we all know that vile object called a cell starts ringing as the pedals start turning
  16. none of the horse/bull steriods I used growing up made neigh difference for me
  17. A dr told me stay away, if I need meds that’s what we pay drs for, that and blood work If we eat right exercise the body tends to do this weird thing, sorts itself out, if not blood work then again I fix trucks
  18. I have read on the hub previously (not confirmed) this is the hub after all, that normally unhappy faces have been met by threats of litigation,,,,,, thats not confirmed
