  1. Sorry, the cars silver. In my family we have ended up with more and more black bikes ...
  2. Yeah I'm 100% with you. I'm an amateur old man and I'd know that this is gonna be illegal. Too convenient and way too predictable ....
  3. My son recently bought a used Forerunner which has the strap (stupidly?) integrated into the case, and it snapped right at the case. Is there any fix for this? Thanks
  4. Yip. I'm a great fan but it's time to retire
  5. Thanks....things are looking bleak for them. When I looked at Impey in Tour of Norway, he was like 100th out of about 120...
  6. No Team Israel?
  7. This "involuntary" rubbish is just that. Opened container is OK but a closed one not? Hang em high I say!
  8. I looked at wax lube but having to keep removing my chain to apply etc and not being able to re-apply during a race turned me off. I love Squirt and am on about 7000km on an XX1 chain on my MTB that never sees a tar road.
  9. To the idiot on the TT bike in the Cradle this morning.....myself and the car ahead (car ahead driven by a law abiding lady) were held up a bit by a tour bus ...we pass you a few hundred metres before one of the Cradle circles but get slowed down through the circle where you decide to come from behind and try and pass the lady on her left hand side INSIDE the circle and proceed to shout at her and hit on her car with your hand when you run out of road. What an @sshole move. It's guys like you that give us cyclists a bad name.
  10. Yip. I've twice used price match to pick up a useful discount ....
  11. I've gone back to suspecting that they're all doping again....
  12. Or scam or missed a digit in the price....the pics look very low res ....
  13. Yip. I've twice used price match to pick up a useful discount ....
  14. Use trial and error to see what you're comfortable with. Internal rim width makes a huge difference ie the wider your rims, the greater the volume and the lower pressures required. I can run my front Minion DH as low as 0.9 and my rear Crossmark at around 1.6(against all popular convention and what the apps say) despite weighing 107kg and I've never had a pinch flat or even a slight burp. Yes I might have a tiny bit more rolling resistance but I don't get rattled to bits. That wouldn't work in a high inertia or high G type corner where there is a lot of force involved but the open trails I ride with mild berms and sandy/stony surfaces.... I keep a spreadsheet of all my tyre and shock pressures so I know where I'm at.
  15. Tend to agree. I shop more at CL now than in the past when it had that "elitist" image. The store is staffed by cool people and the service is pretty good with improved pricing.
  16. That same big megastore, let's name them for who they are - Cyclelab, give cyclists a bad name. In general, yes general, they behave like entitled royalty that need 3-4 abreast rather than the reasonable 2 abreast. Look at clubs like Northcliff Cycles and Club 100 to see thatsharing the road is possible
  17. Smelly, very, very smelly!
  18. Spanner? 😁
  19. I was prescribed Tramadol after gallbladder removal and hernia repair, I puked my lungs out until they stopped giving it to me....
  20. Just sawDarryl Impey bail with about 105km to go. Just wondering, what's the selection criteria? Is their a qualification requirement or required UCI points? I don't think Darryl has done much lately and seeing him bail bears that out - how are riders selected and does Joe Taxpayer foot the bill?
  21. Thanks huge NSBB & Sean B 👍
  22. I don't see anything on DSTV schedule, in particular the MTB?
  23. Must be a recent change - had two pairs that fitted lengthwise but we're too narrow.
  24. Last time someone called me Cupcake, we spent the night together ...
  25. I hate when I get a dumb offer without the offerer even viewing the item. What's the reason for a selling price then?? Even better when you're asking, say R1,000 and you get an offer of R600 - CASH! Were you expecting to pay me in Gummy bears or cattle or what? I only take cash FFS! 🤣
