Love my little Sylvia!

You obviously forgot to shout Strava

I love mine. More because you can generally fit a larger basket into it which takes more coffee, which gives me a much richer full flavour....

Double post.

Ooh! Organic Green! Dammit, why can't I just find a bag of money for a Pyga!

I run tubeless, and had had my first flat tyre on my commute this morning. I have no idea why it went flat. I pumped it up with my little hand pump (which I only bought last week *shew*) and it held all its air. I got to work 10 mins late. Lesson.... Leave a little earlier, because anything can happen.

That is beautiful.

Even when I wear bibs, I wear baggies over them. It only takes one fall to ruin a pair of bibs. Plus, baggies are know to improve your ability to ride down hill exponentially.

I have been for a lesson with Gavin. My only regret is that I haven't been back for another one.

Fkn morons.

Holy crap! I ride there often! Glad you're OK. I wish I could catch the people putting that up....

I find plasticland usually has some kind of storage solution, and they are very reasonable.

Anthem plus dropper = very close to the trance....

Venturing into dangerous territory here, I know. Did you reapply between the 2 rides? The reason I ask is because I use my bike to commute (90% dirt road) and I only apply this stuff once a week. That's where I was coming from with the too much comment. If I apply before every ride, it's a nightmare. But I haven't found the need to do so, because I'm not cleaning the drivetrain every ride. Doing the above, when cleaning time comes, I find that kettle water melts the wax off with minimal scrubbing with a firm bristled brush. OK. Ready for abuse.

I bought some Pro winter gloves from sportsmans warehouse. They work really well. Have ridden them in 0 degrees. They cost R399 I think...

Stop it! I can't take it anymore!

You haven't had that one shot leaving you bewildered and forever searching for that same perfection only to be eternally disappointed by restaurants everywhere?

Where from?

They do bike setup too?

I have the same bike. I have upgraded the wheels to Arch Ex, and added a dropper. Also changed to 1x10. My order of upgrade benefits is: 1. Dropper 2. 1x10 (I just love it, but don't have a good reason...) 3. Wheels. The OEM giant wheels are good enough. It the only upgrade I feel that I could have spent the money better...

If you rode with a Garmin, send them the GPX file. Maybe you get lucky.

Right. I may be brave enough to talk about it now. 5:26 from F batch. I rode with a mate who had such bad tyre technicals. I couldn't leave him stranded. 3 plugs, 3 bombs, 2 tubes, and a limp home pumping every 5km for the last 15 (he eventually joined the HD marathon route). Apart from that, I cramped from 23km. It was hectic. I have such respect for that trail. The only way to prepare for Hakahana is to ride Hakahana. I'll be back. To the guy on the silver pyga oneten, I am so jealous. He treated those downhills like flats. Awesome to see. Only complaint was the last bit in Girotec. Mainly because I had already been out for so long and it was soul destroying watching the riders snake back and forth in front of me. Thanks to all involved, I had a great time.

Blik. Sim.

Love my slx brakes!
