  1. I will leave this here..... https://pedalchile.com/blog/light-wheels#:~:text=“Light weight wheels accelerate faster,on rolling roads and trails. GCN has also done tests and results are similar. Lighter wheels unless kg's lighter are going to make no real difference.
  2. WTAF!!! What has happend to the pricing? How is this even possible? Where is the value? Oh, wait we have people prepared to pay for image. I give up.
  3. I have an add blocker running so mhe.
  4. All gone, did you not read the notice?
  5. No but they buy into the marketing hype that is created to push prices up. It is what it is.
  6. Dont worry he has stopped cycling.
  7. That one
  8. Because they want us to all go away. Ho be honest, I have been a member of this site since the start but the last 9 months have seen me ignore it due to too much moderation, changes and nonsense. Ho well another face the advertisers will loose. The site has become a sale platform, nothing more nothing less. No sense of community and too many snowflakes. @Matt, good-luck, I am sure this has probably been your plan for a while. Problem is, other sales/review platforms are coming online and then what happens....... You become just another one out there. You or your advertisers won't see me much any more as the only time I come here is to look for an item that may be on sale if and when I need it.
  9. Please note that the alarm going off is as a result of your alarm battery being kaput. You will hear it as the power comes back on and alarms in your area start sounding you know that these batteries are also klaar. Builders have them for about 300zar. Problem solved for the next 6 months.
  10. Well it is the new golf after all. Mind you even golfers brave the elements. So ja. Why eve bother enter races anymore if they are going to canceled at the drop of a hat/rain/whatever. Next they will cancel because of heat, wait this has also been done, or maybe next time because someone did a scout of the route and found a stone in the path.
  11. The hardest part for me is the drag up to and over Soetwater.
  12. Not bad. I would watch it again.
  13. Is that fork pressure correct? if it has only been on one easy ride and you are maxing out the fork. You may want to check that out.
  14. But at least he was out on a bike. If not an ebike he would not be out there at all.
  15. I got to know what makes this "DRY ONLY" lube so special that it commands such a high price R 20.00 per 1ml? And they say they do not sell it in winter as it is a dry lube. 1,800 km out of one application is not that special if only used in the dry. https://absoluteblack.cc/graphenlube-worlds-best-chain-lubricant-coating/ https://bikerumor.com/2020/06/16/absoluteblack-graphenlube-drips-out-worlds-fastest-low-friction-graphene-wax-chain-lube/

    Geek funnies

    This one is clear and easy.
  19. Doug Ryder, love him or hate him, he seems to keep pulling rabbits out of the hat. Kudos to him. Never say die...... give that man a Bells.
  20. Why? it is a MTB and where I ride even the film does not protect it much. Also remember the weight!!
  21. How can this be possible if you are able to be out during the curfew hrs?
  22. But is this not just another fixi?
  23. I still do not see what the PLUS gets me? Edit OK Matt explained above. But I believe for the average user it is Mhe. Good luck with this though. I have no issues. Same as with STRAVA. Initially, years ago, I used the paid for version. But I never really saw the value so I never renewed. Same with the new iteration where they remove value, I never begrudge them theta what they are doing, I just don't see the value. To each their own.
