Nothing at CL is ever a steal

Kuss is on record as saying he does not want to be team leader and deal with all the pressure. There are a bunch of super domestiques who never made it in a team leader role: Porte / Landa / Poels

I was answering a question, not trying to piss over your battery

Simple: you specify the correct year for the frame and drive train separately .... see the different line items in Hub ads

Both TdF and Vuelta are organised by ASO ... the Polit bureau of cycling

As mentioned previously; check if the frame with mechanical Dura Ace DI2 can accommodate disk brakes (if it is a recent frame it should). If so I would go with that one as electronic shifting is just ****** naais

Fox gloves are lekker but they do not always have all models in stock

He has been very clear that he has no intention of ever going back to serious competitive riding incl gravel. Says he is very happy being a cycling commentator for NOS

This👆 Spez shoes are pretty wide

There're rumours of the majority owner and Patlev looking at selling the whole team.... Which Middle eastern oil rich nation has not got a team year... Kuwait victory / Oman for all cycling team???

Westrand, in and around cradle, Lanseria etc

Easy to check and replace pulley wheels. If they look like ninja stars it's time for new ones

Some internal jewelry

Road racing clearly needs some fresh thinking and the idea of a series with an overall winner is cool. Usually this concept means that you do not have not ride all events so peeps can skip the Oudshoorn ride if not keen (can do something ling min 4 entries and the best rider over 4 events) The main issue I see is CSA: Everything they touch turns to k@k and their only aim is to generate funds to pay their own salaries .... Cleary Stay Away

The ER ........Regular stop for most hubbers I guess

Have not ridden Pioneer Trek and cannot comment on conditions. However unless you are playing for the marbles, I would always choose reliability over marginal weight gain. 330gr will be ~3% of most full sus rigs and less than 0.5% of the rig/rider combo..... in my view that ain't gonna impact your results.

Rode my 6th monster last weekend and can honestly say that the route was probably the easiest since it's straight up Breedts. Everything was rideable with less loose gravel compared to previous years. The "old" route up to the top was much harder with a large chunk being on single track. Where I do agree is that the numbers have very noticeably dwindled. It used to be a big event with 1000+ riders across the different distance. Last weekend can't have been more than 250 participants. This also affects the after rider gees as there are just a lot less people swapping war stories

Talking about these designs

OTR in Krugersdorp does lekker flannel print shirts... note it is normal lycra but with flannel print Contact Stephen Fowler on info@otrdesigns.co.za

I would think that the high density living found in most cities in Europe and US make bicycle courier way more feasible than in SA. This probably doe snot hold for JHB and CPT inner city but I do not think that would be the target market. Servicing the suburbs would mean you have to ride a lot of km per delivery (seem to remember that JHB is one of the biggest cities in the world by area?) Keen to hear what those who tried this as a venture found

I assume that is if you do not buy a replacement frame from them?

BMC???

Give it a couple of months and the creaking and clunking will start..... the usual ratio is R5-10k for 6 -9 month free pedalling
