Thanks, D Did not consider this, noted.

Horrendous occurrence Rip to the poor man, and condolences to the family.

The 38mm Def don't look quite as good, I know it's not all about how they look but a cycling mate once said "If you can't be fast, look fast, it's the next best thing" Quite appropriate in my case.

Thanks for the replies, Must say the 50mm do look the business. This pic is not my bike but the wheels are 50 and don't look too much.

Hi everyone, Time to upgrade my wheels finally, Looking at buying a set of carbon clinchers for my road bike, is there a general preference out there for 38mm or 50mm. Is crosswind a real issue on the 50mm ? Will I look like a Lance time trial wannabe if I go for 50mm(lol) I dunno man, leaning towards 38mm, what say the community?

Not to be a party pooper but given the covid vaccine pace in SA have to say I cant see an event like this taking place in 2021. Wish it wasn't so as always a great day.

Hi peeps, Does anyone know if Northern Farms is open again ?

Ebikes are a fantastic solution to polution and traffic congestion etc. Dont know why gvt would be hung up on the 25kmh speed thing as a benchmark, can get 70 and above on a normal bicycle. Ebike came past me the other day at about 50 I reckon (was on my roadbike prob @ 20kmh), couldn't help thinking what an amazingly brilliant transport solution they are. Gvt should be encouraging more use of these bikes by keeping the regs to an absolute minimum.

Pretty sure if these companies keep pushing out the boat in terms of R&D and geometry tweaks they will come up with my Merida 120 soft tail 26er. Sweet, I will be back in fashion again.

Yip, the roadie is still the gold standard that all the mtb riders want to try and drop.Must have been a mtb rider on his mates roadie. He he

Went out about 630, Did not notice an increase in riders or runners really, most had masks or buffs. I had a buff that i took down if going up a hill mostly cos my glasses steamed up and couldnt see where I was going. If i was approaching joggers coming the other way then i pulled buff up again, noticed that many of them did same. Saw a couple of groups of 4 but they were split into 2+2 kind of thing. So didnt see anything that one could really classify as irresponsible behaviour under the circumstances. Really was lekker to get out and about again

MTB riders hate on roadies all the time, nothing new there. Personally I think it is because they have to clean their bikes all the time which has to make them bleak. lockdown easing soon so general mojo will improve a lot am sure. As much as it has been crap to be in lockdown, feel greatful that have been able to see it through in relative comfort compared to many. So there is that.

Ha ha, TV on the floor. This guy gets it ! Awesome bike, enjoy riding it

Small dogs are cool. Big dogs and breeds that are known to be agressive...you can keep em.

Just like unprovoked cyclists will flip the bird to a car that has done nothing wrong too. The human condition is unfortunately one where we do not get along with those that are not in our tribe, and when the other tribe does something wrong - well then s**t really gets out of hand. I thought I was the only one that flips the bird to every car just in case.
