But that was from the "easy" side

They are available. Exact same ones for road bikes. 700c. It is the width that make the difference. 28mm is better for Tandems 35mm is best for 29ers

I had to replace my rear tubby at Fishoek circle but ... luckily I finished!

Awesome bikes! I posted a thread here a while back when we sold the first one in SA. Also have a look at the Giant Lust range, womans spesific with a womans spesific geometry. We also sold the first and thus far only Giant Lust Advanced 27.5 in SA, special order. And they look quite lekka too! As far as the expo goes... If it is your first Agrus or you are new to cycling ... then go! Enjoy the vibe, get sweeped up in the excitement and waste your money on stuff that wont make you any faster! But for me that is in the industry, there is nothing new and I get to play with these toys all day long waaay before they make it to the expo. This year's expo (out of 10) has been my best so far ... I didnt go!

Someone whore the kit ... you mean!

Seriously? What do people expect in these goody bags? A set of XT pedals, Assos bibs, ESI grips and a years subscription to Ride magazine? (Just not Bicycling, please!) All they ever put in there is a crap load of flyers about crap you will never use. Samples (5ml) of bath oil, deepheat, deodorant, even tampons and 6 month old magazine's. The water bottles are always crap, like those blue Powerrade ones we got at the Argus, did not seal and was so thin it fell out of you bottlecage. Only useful thing in there is the Barone sample ... I eat that and chuck the rest in the bin before leaving the expo. They can ma keep their goody bag!

That is exactly what the guy in charge of PPA's seeding system said the other day!

Great! Lets post here every time we see someone obeying the traffic laws.

I use the S Health app on my Galaxy S4, it counts your steps using the built in pedometer.

Yup all work related. I work in a bike shop. This is walking between counter, workshop, to clients, to back to collect bikes etc. I save petrol by commuting to work from Somerset West to Stellenbosch. This would also be the longest time during the day I am seated, while on the bike! We dont have any chairs in the shop, so we are saving the forest also!

Doesnt really make a big difference, I still have to charge my phone every night!

I have always had a suspicion that I do quite a bit of walking during the day at work. Just never knew how much until I decided to put it to the test for a week using the app on my smatphone. This is during work hours ONLY, started the app at 8am and stopped it at 17:30! Holly crap I walk a lot!!! Pretty much averages out to 10km per day ... excluding walking to gym, walking at home before and after work!

The amount of reports coming in for this particular spot within the last two months are just insane!! When are we goning to stand together and sort this crap out?

The Parktool kit comes with a wallmount holder (that is an actual photo of my own I posted earlier). Allen keys I always keep within reach ... not stored away anywhere

...

Handy but not as hand friendly as the Parktool allen key set. They also have the ball ends to allow you to work at otherwise difficult angles. You have way more leverage with that handle and you dont feel manhandled when finished working with them!

And if you want proper tools, I love my blue tools the most!

If you have absolutely no tools, then those might work. If you already have some tools you are going to get double of what you already have. Tools in that price bracket is normally a bunch of allen keys, chain whip and cassette remover. You will need cable cutters, bb remover and a couple of other tools that is better to buy separate as and when you need them for that specific job. Thats the way I built up my workshop!

Yea old news! Let the dead cows lie...

Cool, handfuls of the others also available!

Did you win Flowta? I still have plenty!

All the roadies with good seadings and no singletrack skills will be in A in front of you. Better chillax now already!

Too small for someone at 1,95. Giant's XL is a 22" ... where Merida's XL is a 23" with a longer toptube, which might be better suited, again depending on more than just the OP's length. Santa Cruz has the Tallboy 2 in XXL though!

Road bike ... ok Then you need to look at top tube length. Measured from center of steerer tube to center of seat tube ... based on you height alone (more info is required to be more accurate) I would guess a 62cm top tube. Some manufacturers do the sizing a bit differently and the actually measure the seat tube (center of bb to center of top tube). With all the sloping stylish geometries these days, that measurement means jack all really. Pinarello, Bianchi, Cannondale ... the list goes on, all have 62cm bikes. So start looking at top tube lengths and compare the sizing between the brands you fancy!

That must have been a sight! The Nabraska is a 26er and a Large would have been a 19" I am 1.87m and rode a XL (21.5") Mercury 26 and I was all over that circus bike, it was just not big enough. Please post a pic with you on the bike ... either here on in the Friday Funnies thread.
