  1. What is the actual width of the tyres mounted?
  2. @Furbz very smart build. What is the actual width of the tyres on the rims?
  3. Thanks all. It seems my bike is not UDH compatible. 🤣so all my questions are useless. But thank you for all the answers. Sticking with shimano for now.
  4. Hello all, I am in a position to purchase a X0 T-type (the new one) AXS rear derailleur and shifter for a good price. Currently I have Shimano XT 12 speed on my bike. Now my questions: 1. Could i use my XT crank and change just the chainring or do i need a whole need crank? 2. Could i use my current XT cassette? I know if I cannot, i would need to get a new freehub. If i can use the XT cassette, do i use a SRAM chain or a Shimano one? Sorry for the seemingly silly questions. Just want to make sure what my total outlay will be (potentially).
  5. interesting. i see that some volunteers have now started selling their entries for R17k
  6. any idea what the volunteers paid this year to be there?
  7. nice bike. where can we get more information on the handlebar combo she used?
  8. seems early bird has been postponed a week to 31 March Seems @Michael S beat me to it
  9. Definitely one on my bucketlist. and now that i live in Ireland, a bit cheaper. Good luck at @BMCfan looking forward to the race reports
  10. That makes sense. 😁 but definitely going with the electric night colour
  11. Hello all, I am keen to get a gravel bike. I reside in Ireland so the importing and tax issue is not a issue for me. Need to decide on one of the following On-One bikes: On-One Free Ranger SRAM Rival 1 Carbon Gravel Bike | Planet X Bikes On-One Free Ranger Shimano GRX RX810 Gravel Bike | Planet X Bikes I am keen on the Electric Night colour (although Forest Green looks awesome as well). But unsure which groupset I should go with? Both have the same wheels, and finishing kit. Both my MTB and road bike have Shimano groupsets so leaning towards the Shimano equipped version. Unless there is a valid reason why I should do the SRAM version. Thoughts?
  12. i want to do this 1 day as well. so following if you don't mind @IceCreamMan
  13. I am in Ireland and will also need to move to Eurosport, but apparently will need to use a VPN as well. So frustrating as I am in the 1st world 🤣
  14. prices are still more expensive than on Bike24 for most of the items i want 🤣 even with the discount
  15. Sunrise in Dublin this morning on my way to work. 😁
  16. what is the quality like of the sprockets? Do you have a link? I am keen to get a few
  17. Flying with your bike is quick and easy with the big airlines. I fly Emirates when i emigrated to Dublin and it was super simple. Just phone the airline after booking the ticket and let them know you bringing a bike bag. Take it to oversize after checking in and collect at your destination. Was an absolute breeze. I used a Scicon bag and had no issues. My only issue was finding a taxi big enough to get to my new lodgings 🤣
  18. i like the part in BOLD. makes sense
  19. Crazy. not adding the actual hospital (unless it is requested). It is quite hectic
  20. What happened? Not watching live sadly
  21. Looks very smart. Out of curiousity, what did this cost all in (including installation) if i may ask? you welcome to DM if better
  22. Here in Ireland, i can get the 28mm (tan wall) for €50 (about R910 delivered). Just for comparison (this is imported from Germany and includes shipping).
  23. Not my best year in terms of elevation or mileage but this year included a move to Ireland so overall I am happy. Looking forward to next year. 😁
  24. Had some fun in the snow in Dublin Mountains. Was awesome. And cold!! 🥶
