I have a forekaster on the front - it’s an awesome tire, haven’t had a single issue as yet and have punished my tires ????

Markram will definitely come in - he is too good a player not to make that side. I would take Morris over Pretorious. Dont be surprised to see philander in the mix - all rounders are going to be key buy Ottis seems set on specialist positions. I also think they may play with idea of have shamsi and Tahirin the same team with Morris, and two other quicks in the mix. My starting 11 would be: De kock Markram Amla Faf Miller Duminy Morris Phehlekwayo Tahir Rabada Steyn/ngidi whoever is fit Vd dussen in the mid somewhere there as well bud we need another all rounder

Had to buy this when I saw it... man that lyne website has some nice goodies on it! I may have to spend some more money I don’t have ????

Where did you order the lyne stuff from? I’m looking for the rail with cage and the bag? For my Scott Spark - saw it fit really nicely on another Spark

Not cycling related, but enjoy the trails on foot as well sometimes, sometimes ????

I wouldn’t trust them putting the bike together, those guys on the floor can’t even spell Cannondale... I just need a small from SOMEWHERE and I will be back in the Mrs good books!!

Are any of the stores going to get any smalls?!

So, I went down to Makro in toti after coming across this thread. I am keen to get my Mrs one of these bikes, trail 5, as they offer quite a bit of bang for your buck and if she doesn’t quite enjoy riding ( which is highly possible ) I haven’t broken the bank. It is VERY well specced for the price and I would have taken one had they had the right size which is a small... the guys on the floor are clueless and could not tell me weather or not they will have any different sizes coming in - in fact they could tell me anything... anyway, having gone through many bikes over the years, the trail 5 is an excellent entry level option for the price. If anybody can advise on if they know what sizes will be available and where, please let me know!!

So I have heard some good reviews about these... huge Shimano junkie but thought I would give them a go considering the price!

Damien de Allende is so kuk... y do we keep picking him ???? he is simply not springbok quality. He does fine at franchise level but not good enough for boks. Hope he proves me wrong this season

Tick bite fever... whaaaaat a ball ache...

????

Absolutely no clue!! We got her from the spca - we think there must be some forest or Maine coon in her somewhere. She is quite big too

My new steed ???? time to get back into the swing of things!

Ok so it's been a year and a half with no bike for various reasons. Glad to be back and with it a new toy ???? Not the best machine but a good way to get back into things. Bought a shorter stem and wider bars to start with. Will upgrade groupo and brakes soon hopefully, and then slap a 140mm fork on the front. Let the fun and games begin ????

Yeah epicon

Been a while since I visited the hub, thought I'd post my pride and joy again

Went over the bars. Tore the ligaments in my shoulder, out for 8 weeks, have a consult next Wednesday for them to decide if I need surgery. Bummer

Unexpected Christmas Eve

Ok I have my 1x10 set up to almost perfect now. The top jockey wheel is closer to the big sprocket than I would like even with a longer b tension screw. There is a bit of noise when shifting. I replaced the cable with a new one and started setting up from scratch and its working pretty well. The shifts are smooth although a bit delayed here and there. I think I would still consider getting the RAD cage just for that extra gap and the top. Does anyone know where I can get one from and how much it will cost?Here is a pic of my setup

Well I have put the new cassette, chain, and nw chainring... I have a medium cage xt shadow plus and I am having bugger all luck setting it up... I'm not sure if the chain is too short, or the cage is too short... I have set everything up as usual, all limit screws and b tension with barrel adjusting but cannot get it shifting properly and the chain is catching the cable clip arm ( where the wire cable it's tightened onto the derailleur)... It's a 11-42 wide range cassette with a 32 up front... I am so frustrated!!!!
