  1. I was wondering about that now, how does one fix the inner tube if there is a thorn that goes through the outer tyre and inner tube, thats exactly the same as running tubes, kind of sounds like gong backwards from the standard tubeless.
  2. where do you buy this milking cream?

  4. I couldnt handle it any longer. 11 days ago was my last ride, due to work travels and rain when I returned. The only time I wont commute is when its raining when I wake up, dont care if it rains when I need to go home. This morning it wasnt raining but its defos going to rain later Fun times

    How fast

    I commute by mtb off road. I stay off road to avoid cars, (pedestrians are more understanding). I stop at all the stop streets or when crossing over the streets, and theres lots of streets to cross so i stop a lot. Theres lots of uphill (both ways) and the downhills are filled with stops, there is only one downhill that is long and am able to get to speeds of 50km/h, and that is at the beginning of my morning commute to work. Route distance varies between 16km(straight) to 28km(longer route with some nice single track). Average speed varies between 14km/h to 18km/h, all depends how I feel, how much I have slept, etc. I remember someone once said, "a commute is not a training ride"

  12. where do you buy that stuff?
  13. Mate, its your lucky day! You WILL NOT be left out. Now get one and ride over all the 29r's
  14. Best saddle that I have owned was somthing that came off my schwinn mesa sport, complete bike was like 3000. Very cheap saddle, but worked like a charm. Lasted forever, sadly i had worn it out so it had to go.
  15. Schurter to ride part-time for Orica-GreenEdge im very keen to see what he does. Looking forward to it. Link here
  16. Nice. Whats the price range?
  17. This is awesome. I will be heading there saturday morning for sure. I an not sure what time, but probably quite early 6 or 6:30. Waiting for feedback from 2 buddies to join in on it too. Looking forward to the new trails. I see that its sponsored by Solomons Pta North, but you need to sign up at Maniak? whats with that though?
  18. Sorry I mean, the other N4, the bakwena highway. The one that goes through onderstepoort and alongside bon accord dam.
  19. Yo man, thats hectic, glad you are ok and that they only took phone. Just to add, magalies freeway is not a safe road to ride. There's lots of areas where someone can come out of bushes then disappear back. It's known for hijacking including large groups of riders, and them picking out the bicycles they want. So my advice for anyone else using this road, please avoid it at all costs. rather take the N4.
  20. This is not needed, you just need the cassette tool. Which is maybe under r100. like so: then just use a normal spanner that will fit it.
