  1. 1 bike, 2 sets of wheels.... Less hassle Yes is 1kg heavier than a pure road bike but you're spoiled for choice across bike brands these days. I went with the Giant Revolt and the geometry is similar to an endurance bike. I choose between 28c Tyres s or 42x Tyres depending on the ride You can play around with crank blade sizes as well.
  2. If the Uber driver is paying you cash... He can collect with pleasure 😁

  5. Tried Ryder some time back and wasnt happy with it... Been using Enduro Seal, no issues, seals holes immediately
  6. Giant Revolt 2019 Will take 45c tyres, no problem Holds 3x bottle cages Holes in the frame to accommodate panniers
  7. Been dabbling with these gravel bikes since early 2015... Got told how it will never take off and its a waste I'm of the view that most Hard tail 29er riders should have probably chosen a Gravel Bike as they aren't exactly MTBing. In the same way may people on a road bike would like to have much fatter tyres and versatility other that a max of 28c So really interesting view point that it doesn't work... But for the non-racer both on MTB & Road, does it really matter what the "norm" is? I've read how eBikes are also frowned upon, but actually so what. Cycling like everything else is a personal choice, and so with the accessories along with it. The more options the merrier As long as we have options
  8. Bummer. Probably worth leaving us leaving a set of flats an pedal tool in the car ????
  9. ????Finally. Will definitely be doing this????
  10. Parrot Zik 3's... Got a pair of these and works very well
  11. Watch out at Masepumela (spelling) just behind Longbeach Mall, Sunvalley, Fishoek. But buddy got mugged at about 3pm yesterday. Guy confronted him at knife point and took he's cellphone. Loads of pedestrians and vehicles passing at the petrol station. Fortunately unharmed and survived with he's life and bike. Suppose people out there are just so used to this type of thing thus become desensitized to the reality around them. Be vigilant out there!
  12. It really depend what you want to spend Some of the cable versions are really good and as effective as the hydraulic brakes. That said, hydraulic range varies considerably as well
  13. I'm riding the Giant Anyroad 2017, very relaxed geometry. 40c tubeless tyres of the OEM wheels ZTR 29er wheels, where swop between 32c or 28c tyres depending on the intended ride. 50/38 crank, with 11/32 cassette. 10speed. Excellent all round bike Also have the Giant Fastroad.(flat bar). Somewhat similar but different. Both can handle the dirt & give the roadies some horns as well. Giant have a few gravel bikes in reasonable spec Anyroad (aluXX & carbon frames) Fastroad (aluXX & carbon frames) TCX (aluXX frame) Have a look the Comax versions in all 3, just under R30k
