I'm sitting here enjoying the rain in Joburg ...BUT now I can't ride cos it's pissing down! 🤣

He's won the Epic with Lars ..

Yip, as I said I've tried Mr Min and leather seat cream, and first wiped with a damp cloth ..

It usually IS my bike 😄

I was thinking about Dubbin . Might give that a try thanks. Definitely the topsides.

And a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ guy 😁

I agree the commentary is boring. Safricans don't generally make good commentators. I'd love to have Bart and Claudio (when Bart eventually hangs up his hydration pack - anyone get that? Harkens back to Neil Gardiner droning on about those a few years back)😁. I reckon Bart n Claudio would tire us all out with their enthusiasm. I wish all commentators (F1 and Noto GP) were as unbiased .. I also hate the fact that all the action today happened before live commentary....maybe the weather but to cross so far in sucks ...

I've got a nice pair of Lake carbon soled road shoes but the uppers tend to "creak", especially when cold - any ideas what I can use? It's especially around the tongue area but it's most of that part of the upper. I've been told it's Kangaroo leather .....and the fasteners are Boa and a Velcro strap .. I have in the past tried a car seat leather product and a bit of Mr Min which has Silicone in...

I'm pi$$ed that the live stream only starts at around 08:30.... Got to wait till then

I will say this, I think that Rush has priced their bearings more competitively as a few years ago the disparity between them and a reasonable "non-junk" quality bearing was significant. Good on you guys

They'll be open. There should be a guard at the gate 247 being a hotel.

I'm not 100% convinced of that. SCR ran out of matches and lost out big a few days ago when they went out hard and ran out of steam. They burned a lot of matches yesterday & today and so have Matt and Chris both fighting back so well and especially today....it's going to be one helluva Queen stage.

I've always believed it's in the water? I'm hoping Nino n Andri managed themselves today. From what I saw Andri wasn't getting dropped today and at a point they were holding the gap - almost. Looking very fwd to the 👑 stage tomorrow.

I use BMG for non-critical bearings and Enduro for BB and pivot (Max) bearings. I've seen scientific studies that show that ceramic aren't all they're "cracked" up to be in cycling....

Probably overseen by Neil Gardiner...... As an aside -Gosh watching Annika do pre-start interviews, she's so chilled and such a natural she should be on CNN.

Burning matches as they say....I wonder how long they've been in SA? Nino and likely JFR have been here for a good while as has Beers and have done some local races. AFAIK Georg & Lukas have been racing in Europe.

Georg said he ran out of talent in a sandy section and Lukas dragged him home in fuel saver mode ...from Instagram.

If Gardiner says Frischkernicht again....!!!

I paid R300 for a hub swap at Cyclelab Fourways. I supplied the replacement hub. Think that's very reasonable

I was watching the vines - yes they were blowing a bit but blew big time and then the chopper Hove into view....

I was thinking the same. Any decent pilot would be well aware of the wind direction and the effects of his rotor drafts.. I flipping hate sucking in dust when I'm dying on my bike however I realise that other bikes cause unavoidable dust, but if I was one of the contenders I'd be pi$$ed as hell.

Lucky for me then the only dust I'd have to be worried about would be from the Hyenas....

If I was riding I'd not enjoy breathing the dust from the choppers...a few times they swamped the top teams.....

Must have changed the rules. I googled - many new articles stating li.. fe ban

He's my guy ...hope he got the tyre strategy I sent 🤣
