Any roadbike tyre.

If it is a carbon frame, why don't you have it repaired? It can be done so that the structural integrity is maintained and will be invisible to visual inspection. It will also cost much less than your excess and a rebuild

Was the cyclist going up the hill ? It 8s fast in the other direction

I got sent the new route, and it will be a bit tougher that any of the recent ones. It starts at Nasrec, finds it way to the M1 to Woodmead, round Kyalami, down Main road past Leeukop prison and then along last year's route up through Bryanston, Jan Smuts into Braamfontein and back to FNB stadium. The last 45km, from the river crossing below Leeukop to the finish is almost all uphill, with very little respite.

Those white roads may be "gravel" in some people's language, I'd like to see those guys ride like that on Breedts or the Rooiberg ????

Genuine question. Why?

And here is Ranger. The definition of dog tired

With my luck I'll find out I have leukemia. Oh wait......????

Erikk If I place an order today do I pay the ZAR price as listed on the /za site or do you recalculate based on the exchange rate when it becomes time for me to pay ?

Probably because it is ascension day. I know that Jonene is committed to her Christianity.

Watcha think. A pink one and a blue one ? I went to fetch my Ultimate in Koblenz, maybe a post Covid trip should be planned.

I don't have opinions of my own so I only like comments that the cool guys have liked, but I can't see who has liked a post anymore....

Right.... We learned in Gr1 that TUE comes after MON and before WED.

Because you are taking the p1ss..

It may be tough with canti brakes to get the pads and rim lined up...

She should have taken the half with the Start button

That doesn't surprise me. I saw the way he treated his caddy and was appalled. The way a "celebrity" behaves towards minions and/or when the cameras aren't present is telling. He failed badly.

Of the few TdF winners I have spoken to, Eddy was cool, Greg LeM was cooler and was very encouraging to my daughters, Big Mig dropped back onto my wheel and laughed going up Llandudno, Chris was happy to chat, Evans looked hungover at breakfast the day after, but was happy to accept congratulations. Mr60% was a nasty drunk and the only guy not to have won but displays 7 yellow jerseys was so not cool that he was not prepared to mix with the rabble.

Tell me more ?

There are two agreements here which are not to be confused. First, the buyer makes you an offer to purchase your house and you are free to accept or reject it as you see fit, no matter the offered price. You have no agreement until you have committed in writing to accept his written offer. the buyer cannot force you to sell. Second, and completely separately, is the agreement you signed with the estate agent which probably says somewhere in the small print that if they bring you a buyer at a specified price, you are liable to pay them the commission whether you sell or not. Draw a line through this clause when they come and sign up a mandate to market your house. It will also in all likelihood say that even if you accept the offer and the buyer pulls out, you owe them the commission and they can take it from the deposit. Also draw a line through this clause. If the estate agent is not wiling to earn his or her commission on transfer, find another one.

I hate to break it to you, but you are the one who needs "urgent education regarding the basics of an agreement". Absolutely everything you have said is wrong. The seller can advertise whatever price he chooses, that is however not an offer, it is an invitation for you to make him one. NO agreement exists until you do so AND until he accepts YOUR offer and communicates it to you. Edit: I see Harryn has already set you right.

All other things being equal, a MTB is more expensive to maintain than a road bike; a dual suspension more expensive that a HT and a complex drive train more expensive that a simple one. Unless it is therefore necessary to ride my XX equipped dual-suspension bike I ride a HT and then only if I can't ride on a Single Speed HT. I keep my drivetrains clean and well lubed and believe in prevention rather than cure. A new SS chain cost me R180 last week,

But just maybe if you had waited till you were 7 you could have added a TdF to your resume..... Or, if like me, you were inspired by "The lore of running " you could have stuffed knees like me....

I have done about a third of my rides riding with family members and a GF or so in my younger days doing their first one. Memorable ones were the short one with my Sister-in-law and just popping under the 7h mark with my nephew who though playing first team water polo meant he was fit enough. When the youngsters start challenging you, you can use the technique I perfected with my brother. Push hard and ride him off your wheel once or twice. When he complains, suggest that it would be easier for you keep an eye out for him if he were in front of you. Sit on his wheel until you hit Three Anchor Bay and beat him in the sprint.

The crucial word there is of course "from"...
