Yip, done it twice.. is a lekker gravel ride around the canals at Harties

Met die vraag bevestig je alles wat de belgen over ons zeggen

Jumbo is a Dutch supermarket chain so I doubt you buy products from them here

When the chief gives you the stop sign in the cradle

Interested in what brands your thinking off??

Don't you watch the news??? 13 November in a ****** big ball of fire .... because Kim Yong-Un did not get his tea served at his preferred temperature and thought that's it!!!!!

Did you just classify the south of Jozi as a rural area???

Dutch women were very grumpy about their own lack of organisation in post race interviews. Blaak and Vollering quoted as saying they were riding like "loose sand" .. AvV also expressed lots of unhappiness. Position of coach being questioned after two bad performances back to back

In the Dutch press, he indicated to be surprised to be able to stick with the pace and even more with being able to sprint

Especially as he could not walk two weeks ago

Teletubbie land

I would be interested at that price point

Sjoe, you know you're cool when even your double cab is carbon ....#eksemanet

Equates to the cycling version of potty trained????

Hmmm ^^^^ NO!!!!! XCO maybe but trail .... Aikona Baba

Sjoe those 70+% segments must be hard!!!!

A XC bike typically has less travel (front and back) and a more aggressive geometry (ie more forward leaning). As a roadie this is something you will be fairly used to. Overall these are the faster bikes. A trail bike has a more relaxed geometry (more upward) and have more travel (rear and front). The bike is designed to handle rougher terrain in a more comfortable manner. Unless you have the desire to ride things as fast as you can, I would go for a trailbike for the use you mentioned

Sjoe, you're a better planner than me cause I've done all 3 ... multiple times. What's the furthest (distance) / longest (time) you've gone on 2 wheels?

^^^This is very sound advise in my view

XX1 chain will do 10k BUT will have eaten your cassette and chainring when you do change

As they say in the ads: Who are these people??? I do not get more than 3.5k km on XX! chain

Restday means I am working my gat off so I can work half days for the rest of the week

Some geekie numbers from TT yesterday: Wout Poels had av power of 420W for full stage and weighs 66kg, so ~6.3 w/kg .... and comes 53rd on 2.41!!!!! So Pogi must have been around 7w/kg for the full 32 min.... nogal woes ek se!!!

Sjoe, I only get ~3k km per chain. Nearly all my riding is on off road trails but find it hard to believe that would explain the difference. Are you maybe a light rider in terms of weight?

Is the 6k km within 0.5% chain stretch or do you just ride it past that?
