With the eggbeaters I would strongly recommend you get the shoe shields to protect the soles of your shoes. https://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/crank-brothers-shoe-shield?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIoMnBstey7QIVEu3tCh2Q5QUwEAQYBCABEgIGOPD_BwE

He is back on the move!!!

Evobikes, i just bought a roll earlier today. They have plenty of stock as i saw with my own eyes. Stans is the best, end of. I’ve now tried other brands to my own frustration and i will NEVER use anything else again. https://www.evobikes.co.za/product/stan-s-25mm-tubeless-tape-10m/

You make a good point. I can model it myself (im a 3d modeler/revit operator) and have it printed. Duh, the most obvious of solutions right there. Thanks bud!

i like the look of this!

ja i know...

yes sorry, i owe you an apology, i borrowed your picture without asking - sorry! EDIT: sorry, i thought the add in the classifieds section was posted by you, i am mistaken it seems. https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/sensors-mounts-and-accessories/437429/goprotorch-and-board-mount#fullscreen

haha

What do you guys use to fix your bike boards/permits to the handlebars? Other than cable ties or velcro straps, I was hoping to find something like this bracket except not as elaborate or bulky. Im just moeg of cable ties every other week when I ride somewhere different, and the velcro straps I have at the moment isn't secure enough so the board is rubbing against the head tube/brake hoses, (jaaaa i know cable ties is inexpensive, but a lekker bracket would just look so... lekker...) This Racelabs jobbie also looks a bit bulky: https://shop.enduroworldseries.com/products/race-labs-reusable-pro-race-plate-100-recycled-plastic

I elaborated on why i lost my passion for the sport (on the appropriate forum i might add) and then it gets snapped off as some playground drivel, without giving some proper insights. And you want to call me a dewis? I stand by my views. Plain and simple. And just for the record, at no point did i become personal buddy, so please....

Because he is n dewis. Thanks for your insightful contribution ????

I agree with pretty much everything you said there, however Dewis will get the most of my anger because of who he is and his hypocritical nature - this whole BLM thing and how he grew up wanting when in fact that is not the case. His upbringing was much better than most (based on some reading I did a while ago, cannot recall where, purportedly a family friend or something...). And then his hypocritical antics when things dont go his way, but when he dishes some out, there seems to be no problem... But yes, I can like to take a dump and say the same things I did about Nico'tjie Rosberg. Wins one title then runs off like a woos. What kind of sportsman is that? Verstappen, he thinks he is far better than he actually is, and a real crash test dummy just like his old toppie. But... at least he is trying to take the fight to Dewis (did I just say that?) Hey, its sad when you have your romantic dreams spoiled like that. I mean, who wouldnt want to work in F1??? (until you get there???) I dont know what to say about professionalism. In this time where everyone is so self righteous and cannot take ownership of their life decisions, why must advertisers worry about what their sponsored athletes get up to? I mean if Marlboro want to sponsor James Hunt a carton a day, why not? People can still make up their own minds if they want to smoke Marlboro or not? Why must our "heroes" always be clean cut? Like him for his talent, if you dont want to smoke, dont - just a random example to try and illustrate a point... It's the characters that make us follow a sport - at least that how I feel. Without them, the sport is generic, and who wants that? I don't know, for me, Alonso and Kimi are the last REAL characters of F1. Bottas seems to have a bit of flair about him but he will never succeed (nor will anyone else for that matter) in the same team as the prodigal son. How lekker is it to watch MotoGP this year, i mean, just wow!!! And for all the right reasons! EDIT: I left out the Ferraris because they have disappointed me SOOO much I cannot anymore... Seb, the previous golden child, turned into a golden turd. And the Froggie, well he reminds me too much of Alain Prost, and in our house Prost was the antichrist, we were a Senna household growing up.

I may or may not agree with what you have said, but the fact remains that I for one have lost all interest in the sport, viewer numbers are down and globally the sport is nowhere near as appealing compared to the time when racers were men who went wheel to wheel, drank, used drugs, had unprotected sex and partied all night, got up the next morning and drove the living daylights out of their sometimes underperforming cars. That is an undeniable fact as far as I am concerned. We all wanted to be them, or be seen with them; and all women wanted to have them. They were rock stars/gods. Who the f... wants to be like Dewis Hamilton??? or be seen with him??? Brazil had a national period of mourning (3 days) the day Ayrton Senna was buried. Can we honestly say Britain will come to a standstill when LH44 crosses over to the other side? And we want to compare him with that? I dont think so... (I am most certainly not trying to pick a fight with you good sir, just stating my reasons for opining the way I do)

One can only hope. I cannot remember a time when i was this disinterested in F1...

much like cyclists? I am a former cricketer, now cyclist, so i guess im f....ed then...

Sho, thats somewhat uncalled for, coming from a guy who never really lived up to his potential. I reckon that makes him quite a p$&s ... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-8888779/West-Indies-Marlon-Samuels-boasts-f-ing-superior-skin-tone-racist-attack-Ben-Stokes.html

I have rottweilers, always had. They sleep inside for many reasons but the main one is: if you are cold, they are cold. Also, a dog inside the house is much better than a gun in a safe... Much love all you fur-parents! ❤️ Edit: by the time you wake up to get your shooter ready, the dog has long done its job. Just saying...

My experience with the 34 rapide oval is that i no longer lose traction so easily and subsequently i carry a bit more momentum going up steep rocky/loose climbs.

Ja, i feel your pain. Heck i even offer to do some of the basic things on my riding buddies’ bikes. I do support my lbs though by buying parts there and this means that when i need advice or a specialist tool, he is willing to help me out. It really is a pain when you pay someone for a service and you get sub par service, this can be because of many reasons but ultimately it doesnt take away from the fact that you as the end user then sit with the baked potato. Not sure where you are located, if you are near the northern suburbs in CT i can help you if you want. It will cost you a decent cup of coffee ????????

Hearing stories like this is exactly why i dont take my bike to any shop, unless i absolutely cannot do it myself - the list of which is becoming very short i might add. My advice would be to get a bleed kit and teach yourself to do a proper brake bleed. It takes an hour max and then you know its been done properly. Brake maintenance is not something i think any biker should gamble on - it must work when you need it. Scan Park Tool’s Youtube channel, old Calvin has a very simple way of bringing across the message. Doddy from GMBN is also very concise in his videos. It really is worth it in the long run, you save time, money and potential hospital bills for high blood pressure or broken bones ????

Rapide hubs and freebodies are by far the most affordable the last time i checked, but i stand to be corrected. And they now have a microspline option too. The hub is around 1800 and the freebody (xd or microspline) is around 900 randelas. Im loving my slx 10-51 ???? https://www.rapide.co.za/

Yes definitely. Those sram/sunrace 10-50 cassettes are slightly more expensive than the 11-50 ones though. Happy upgrading!
