Sarrou to spez factory racing... Didn't see that 1 coming.
Well now Julien definitely has the budget for PFP in his team. Makes sense.
Tap n go didn't work at the coffee shop. Damn pity...
CAAD, adding glitter a real thing?
Gots to try that.....or u just want me to be looking like a fairy farting glitter
Real, real. The Stan's is probably a bigger pollutant, but I haven't had a puncture in ages and I'm not vegetarian either. I believe my Sidi shoes might have small bits of leather in them. Begone with me...
Stan's with a healthy dose of glitter from the teacher's cupboard. Helps coagulation and makes me look like a unicorn when I puncture.
Miss Pienaar I found your credit card on the trails at Modderfontein this morning. Send me a PM to arrange collection.
If you ride in the drops a lot with an MTB helmut, you might end up with a stiff neck, from constantly trying to look up under the peak. Yes I think MTB helmuts should have peaks. I see a few companies market road helmuts as "gravel" ones. I do think you "need" one though...
Downtown Braamfontein for an urban cruise this morning. Beautiful old buildings and another attempt at urban renewal.

Being using Stans forever. Just a question. If you change to another brand do you need to clean out all the old sealant or can you mix different brands
"Ain't nobody got time for that"...

Good deal that, as they are $270 online from Bose. When they had stock, the refurbished ones were $199.
I fear for the life of her pet Rabbit, once it's fully grown...
This is how I see it being played out also. Both will bring money and sponsors onboard.
Cool. Emily on a Norco and PFP on a BMC?
Pauline with Julian's team and Emily with Adam's new team. It's a family sport.
Found Specht Design on insta, and suddenly I want to make a new case for my Oscar. My Oscar's frame is rusted through, may as well doll it up when I make a new frame for it.
Do you live at the sea, or is it poor quality manufacturing? I see what machines cost and then rusting through?
What happened to a garage pie and Coke?

Duidelik!
There definitely sounds like some sh1tty service here, but the OP must carry some blame. Getting a minor/major service is not like buying a bottle of all gold tomato sauce-every lbs will offer a different range of service. Always ask what is covered by a service, and if you feel there is something else that warrants a look at, inform the lbs.
R580 for a major service-if the OP has ever done some maintenance on his bike, he would know that getting a major service at that price is basically impossible.
Here in Canada I got my fork serviced-CAD180 (just over R2k). But the going rate for a skilled laborer is CAD100, and I know the total time spent on the fork is over an hour, plus parts, so it seems to add up.
Everyone acknowledges bike prices rival that of cars, so I don’t see a reason why a bike service should not be in the ballpark of a car service. But let’s be honest, how many South Africans will be willing to pay for that. Does a skilled (trained and qualified) bike mechanic deserve to earn 10% of a lawyer’s salary just because he was not been through tertiary education and only in possession of a trade qualification?
You get what you pay for (I’m general)
Two star or three star sir??
It's one of my all time favorites. I came so close to buying one 10 years ago, they were 50k then, which was pretty damn hefty. Today 150k 200k? And that's if you can find one. Talk about missing an investment. I'm sad every time I see it.
Would you wear it, or keep it locked in a safe, as an investment?
The man is a diver.
Emily Batty finally leaving Trek after 12 years. Had to happen with the three youngsters there. Expect to see her in her husband's new XC team. Not sure of the bike brand yet.
Well done Alton. So Somebody actually admitted it?
