DIPSLICK

my BIL has an e-bike when I took a glance it looked much thicker, Like a SS chain I would imagine it would need a thicker chain to take that power, those things are insanely powerful I believe cassettes also take a hammering as most riders dont even bother changing gear due to the assist

100% also its my lack of skillz, FOR ME most my riding is done on my Ritchey Steel Rigid for the urban/gravel/ smooth flowing single track, the Lefty when I know its technical, When I bought it I still told my LBS my Toppie status and my lack of skillz its a bad idea, moral of the story TRUST your gut. lots of my mates ride Lefty all happy all younger and much more skillz

Bought a scalpel, because I have owned too many SC I WANTED something different I wanted a “NEW” bike/brand I do not like the Lefty in fact it has less km than any of my bikes, I don’t care what anyone says, gimmick and I hate the gyro feel but I agree you can’t buy a scalpel and not have a lefty for me I should have bought the SC Blur if anyone wants to swop a basically new large blur with same spec, I’m seriously More than Keen

Not to rub it in ,,,, but u missed out on a tit ride

Nice, Congrats must say bought my daughter a Liv road bike for her trainer. Very impressed superb paint work and they know how to work with colours, it was only on the trainer but I was very impressed, must look into their range

very possible, all I know after I took a break from the hub, I battled navigating through the new hub, I`m old and learn slow, I came back primarily for the classifieds (have the bank damage to show it) I raised the point before call me old school but when I see SOLD by,,, old school(me) thinks its sold (not for sale) as said before i missed 2 bikes as a result of MY ERROR as I said the "new" hub took me some getting used to especially the PM side of things,, my simpleton thinking is every time he looks AT HIS AD he sees the comments,,, anyway dead horse,, ill stay in my lane

looks interesting at what point do we hit the Analysis Paralysis,,, we doing this for fun ,,, **** maybe I did not get the memo

thats very acceptable,, I will take you more seriously from now on 🤪

SHOW ME😆 ON a side note FOR vaalies, I always thought no event touched 3 Towers cost vs reward,

km/ year vs posts, now that will be fun to see Rouxtjie (spelling) type scenario X amount of km/year vs being taken seriously 🤪

utter rubbish,,,, we are all supreme athletes on the hub

My 2c Firstly you need to find which of the above works for YOU, in my experience calorie restriction is a no brainer, WHICH way of achieving this for YOU with the least possibility of failing or cheating for many years I have battled with weight loss, yes I have tried all of them and the all work,(if u follow correctly) December 2020 I stopped weighing myself at 135KGS shocking I know I decided to stop carbs first week of January then I hit OMAD straight and apple cider first thing in the morning and pre sleep I STOPPED ALL ALCOHOL In my opinion one of the biggest factors, as when I drink the next day all I do is eat I trained fasted, ate "good nutrient dense foods" no portion control ate till i was full at night End of march I was 95kgs, maintained that pretty much through the year(2-3kg variance) lowest was 89kgs I am lucky I can ride up to 80km fasted at MY moderate pace 60km at my partners pace harder rides I found when I ate with solid carbs my weight went up, so I rode with minimal liquid carbs When I went over 100kms I would stop and eat toasted sarmie when I reached 95kgs I had spoil days after hard rides only DOP and maybe 2 meals Ive decided I will do the same this year NO DOP strict strict until 85kgs or end of march this works for me I must also add, I was an uncontrolled Diabetic, more chronics than a box of smarties I still have chronic medication, but my sugar is better than most non diabetics, last year I stopped 11 pills(under GP recommendation and blood work) and I have never felt better lastly as Dale said on page one or two,, stress reduction and sleep is important,, sleep for me is a huge issue as I have wild apnea I honestly think we ALL know what to do to lose weight, its figuring out what best WE can apply to insure we dont quit OMAD for me is very easy,,,, and its the reason my HbA1c is 5.7

Beautiful, quality love it, one day when my UK LOTTO comes in

i wont lie i thought i would get more support I was thinking of those clowns on youtube going "come on make this viral" clearly im the minority

my daughter started last year,,,, N+ becomes the figure 2 apple box, 2 screens, 2 trainers, 2 fans, never mind bikes, zwift,sufferfest,fullgazz it would have been sooooo much cheaper throwing her on a R150 brand new MOTOR BIKE CYCLING THE "GIFT" that keeps giving,,,, i cant even say ive at least got a partner, she is too strong on the climbs, and at 13 she is at her "ssshhhh time,,," she says we cycling not chatting

always wanted to do something like this

nothing wrong with a good second hand Titan, I bought 2 and for my girls and those have been paid forward to mates kids and their mates kid many times over, buy nice cheap secondhand one (titan)and sell and upgrade, as a reward as you head towards your goals good luck

IN THE CLASSIFIEDS R16K sell what you not using easy quick adjustments, someone who is clever can help with the link

another option is sell off what you have and buy a good second hand Cyclops Phantom 5 or similar adjustable bike trainer, my mate and his wife both use the one cheap ipad or similar away you go

I AM, I do follow it, its just frustrating as I had to get friends of friends to get hold of 2 bikes I wanted because the sellers were not responding on the DM I know the one bike is still available and till today no response, saying that I have bought numerous other toys no issues I just think some of the sellers who come here only to sell do not know how to navigate the hub, and I think there are many sales falling through the CRACK i HAVE SAID many times its not my business its not my call, but the picking apart of a ad. does not help the seller as the not "playing on the thread"

SO THE QUESTION IS,,,,,, ARE YOU GOING TO RESPOND TO THE " COMMUNITY " BY YOUR FIGURES, THE HUB WANTS THE COMMENTS SECTION BACK YES I HAVE TO SHOUT

Joberg2c 2 birds one stone sani2c day 2 as said above, is the best vaalies can do in a day if you stay in the cape I’m pretty sure you can have 3 days of better trails than all of the above just riding around, (not as safely) I haven’t done wines but I believe it beats them all🤷🏻‍♂️

the thing that humans battle with is the unknown, and things out of our control, the down the line possibilities for athletes and average joe, scary. I will be very cautious if I get that gogoo as there are so many unknowns loooong down the road,,

well great come back, good luck going forward, are you under a Physician or someone who is monitoring heart/ lungs, ??
