The new Giant Trance comes standard alu frame / carbon wheels. Some bikes have aluminium swing arms but carbon water bottle cages? Some places the material matters a lot more and I think wheels benefit greatly from the stiffness.

So I asked my wife for R2500 worth of Bitcoin for some bike parts. R2389? She said. What do you need R2617 for?

Yeah! A lot easier with Rockshox as there are tons of high quality logos around online. I can send you the files if you want? Pop me a message

I plead the fifth!

It's also hard to see from the original picture if the robot was red? Would be another clue if he is in fact a real cyclist.

Can you not group them like that please...

Thaba blue will be great! Showcases the highveld landscape nicely and has a whole bunch of wildlife to look at. Not steep and rooty (like I assume you are used to) but tight and rocky. EDIT: https://bikemarket.co.za/#rentals

It was about classism not racism.

Yeah look for something with Teflon/PTFE in it... that's if you are set of applying something. Most modern plastic bushings are self lubricating so maybe take everything apart and give it a good clean first? Greasing might cause more dirt to be attracted there and make matters worse.

So I have no money and I want a really nice looking bike...

7075 aluminum can't be welded, so they just milled it https://polebicycles.com/ Touted as the future of MTB geo

Can get these in SA now

Where do I get these people? Is it the old adage of you must find the good ones as the bad ones will find you?

Brands are built and destroyed on opinions... The facts surrounding the actual ring maybe never be revealed but opinions have been formed regardless.

GRIM DAWN TIME!

“there’s no such thing as bad publicity.” JK! Google searches of BIKE ADDICT will bring this up, Hubbers may think less of the shop and will recommend somewhere else to mates. I'm not saying give free tyres to everyone that has a whinge... But maybe.

On longer rides I just put an extra bottle in my SWAT bib shorts. Sits so tightly against me I hardly notice it's there... This is solving your water issue and is a low key vote for Giant! Also, someone correct me if i'm mistaken, but carbon wheels make a fairly substantial difference!

Wait do you mean credit card as in credit or just a bank card? My steam is connected to my cheque card If you aren't on Steam you are missing out but bad.

Give Grim Dawn a bash. It is the ultimate ARPG!!! Read a review or 2 but 100% finish RoS first, it was worth it.

Have you played Grim Dawn! It is what D3 should have always been and a new expansion is coming out soon.

94.7 MTB is not worth waking up that early for!!! Magalies monster maybe, but I would much rather stay over in the area if the race is that far away.

Any reason MTB events can't start as early as possible?

For insurance purposes please read your terms carefully! For mine they specify the cable lock thickness. I'm sure a power tool doesn't care for 2 extra mm but they as hell sure do.

That is great news, gonna try that out now for interest's sake! I will never actually purchase from them again until they move back to DHL.
