  1. Ya. The biggest I have is 36:16.... Might put the bigger ring on tonight...
  2. Ratio set to 34:16 for 94.7 on Sunday.
  3. Restaurants are trying to cash in. Unfortunately, a large number of people are "banting" without having done any kind of research. So they don't even know that what they are eating is full of crap. Restaurants that actually cater for proper banting, including using quality ingredients that don't contain crap, are few and far between. They are also generally expensive because these ingredients are more expensive.
  4. www.greenbeancoffee.co.za
  5. The biggest surprise for me was how much water come off the tyres, straight into your mouth.
  6. Love it. Nice to see more SS with a dropper! Awesome long travel! Don't gear her!
  7. And single speeding is supposed to be cheaper! Nice score.
  8. Where did you buy it if I may ask?
  9. I can see why. It's purdy, and silent! Because of noise, I use my aeropress 9 times out of 10 over my Sylvia. But dammit, now I want a lever too!
  10. What's going to replace it?
  11. Some guy at work brought them in. He got the at his local pharmacy... They are blood/urine dipstick thingies.... I've seen them here too: http://ilovebanting.co.za/collections/keto-sticks but I haven't bought any from them.
  12. Let's see...... .. Never? I commute on my single speed, and every day is like a time trial. You raise a very good point. Perhaps I should take gears and ride very easy for 2 weeks...
  13. I'm really struggling at the moment with power output. I went through a time where I honestly felt limitless, but I've hit such a slump that I'm really confused as to what to do with lchf. I've done a few tests with keto sticks, and I'm always in ketosis. I feel fine on rides until I have to push some power up hills (which is usually a strong point). I have a few seconds into big climbs before the legs feel like they just have nothing. I haven't really changed what I'm eating, and I've been pretty strict with lchf eating. Anyone else go through this kind of slump? I'm really hoping for a silver lining light at the end of the tunnel thing here, because I'm suffering....
  14. Awesome. Pencilled in for 13 December.
  15. Coffee club.... Everyone contributes a fixed amount per month, and no one winges about how much others are drinking. Adjust the fixed amount according to demand.
  16. Today was my first rain commute. So different, but I still loved every minute. Knowing that everyone forgets how to drive when it rains, and there I was safely off the road. The only thing that scares me about the rain up here is the possibility of lighting... Especially on a steel frame.
  17. I have this on my Simple. Works perfectly. Only need one on the drive side... Join with a decent skewer, and you're set.
  18. Unbelievable. Thanks for the share. Lots to celebrate, and memories forever.
  19. I'm about to drive home. I know I'm going to regret it. Seeing my bike in the rear view mirror all the way home while stuck in traffic.
  20. I'll look out for you on my way home! I'm seriously thinking about one of those carbon rigid forks from rapide...
  21. So under rated. I have it set to 120mm, and it's rock solid. Love it. At that price, I just can't believe how plush it is.
  22. Bet that wasn't the response he anticipated.
  23. Lovely bike BigBen
  24. This morning on my commute, I saw a motor cyclist lose it with a car at a 4 way stop. He then proceeded to try and kick it's light out, but only managed to push himself and his bike over. I had to laugh.
