I see quite a few pink options in the classifieds

I have one lonely Formula brake lying in a box, post a picture of yours, maybe it's the same.

Let me know if and when you need a training tire, I've got 5 or 6 Continentals for a 26er wheel. If you want to go budget a 26er rear wheel will be perfect

None take, served me well for quite a few years

Maybe Squishy (my old mtb) will work for you, it will be way cheaper than the numbers you've been mentioning, its a Trek Superfly carbon frame.

You can replace everything as per what @RobynE 🚵‍♀️ suggested (which is a great suggestion), but, then also include a new freewheel body as your current free wheel body won't take more than a 10 speed. A cheaper option will be: Leave the bike a 2x8 & only replace the chainrings, chain and cassette. This will set you back less than a grand, here's some links: https://www.takealot.com/arfast-6-7-8-speed-bike-chain-116-links-silver-electroplated-bic/PLID101189851 https://www.takealot.com/sunshine-sz-8-speed-11-36t-silver-mtb-bicycle-cassette-hg-hub/PLID93384858

Get yourself a riser bar

100% sure it will work

Why not just get a 11/50 eleven speed cassette

One hit wonder, doubt he'll be back

Thank you @RobynE 🚵‍♀️. 1) That is really up to you, some folks want to buy new cause they want the assurance that if something goes wrong that they'll have someone to go back to and hold accountable. (PS: I also stand by my builds, sometimes better than a shop). I prefer second hand as you'll be able to get a decent sedan for hatchback money 2) Yes, we here in the East have been having an issue with bike jackings over the past few months. There's a syndicate operating either on the Delmas road and or the Boschkop road. But, with that being said, cycling in between the houses and or bike parks are safe. We're spoilt for choice here: Rosemary Hill, Cowhouse, Grootfontein, TAF (not too sure if they're still open), Buffelsdrift (hey they're open again - fantastic ride), place on Dr Swanepoel drive - don't know it's name, Wolwespruit, Northern Farms. 3) See point no. 2 4) Autobar in town is the place to go, they'll fit a towbar for a fraction of the price 5) Yes, they save some space, but storing them horizontally is also fine 6) Join the PEMBI group on vleisboek and enjoy the experience. Also note that it'll be OK for you and your wife to not always cycle together. You'll soon see what I mean by this statement. Look me up if you need any advice or a cycling buddy, I don't have a bike at this moment but will pretty soon, building a beast of a machine for this years Baviaans.

New bike day

Whoever enters this one thinking its a 100miler will get a lekker surprise 😁. Very confusing write up, first they talk about Loskop to Dullstroom (which I agree will be a 100miler) but then it starts talking about Cullinan to Dullstroom.

I don't unfortunately. I have one left that I would like to hold onto for mine just in case

I doubt it's a crack but I don't know nearly enough to make these wild statements. If you press on the area in question with your thumb does it feel spongey?

Do they have stock though.

I would love doing it, but it is just too far to drive IMO. I'm checking and re-checking is the race on a Sunday and Monday? I'm confused.

I found the most reliable to be Courier Guy but they're not the cheapest.

I'm quite happy with my Forerunner 255 music. It does have a good battery life and it does have a few smart watch gadgets

Does anyone think that the Fox Neo is worth the hefty price tag? It's not something that makes sense to me but who knows, maybe I'm in the minority

Adjust your limit screw inwards to push it away from the cassette.

If you don't come right with either Robbie or Droo, I have two options available: a brand new one (never been fitted) and or a used one with some discoloration on the stanchion but looks to be in decent enough condition otherwise. PS: I am no expert on forks, I am merely stating from a visual standpoint

There's a Thule store on Lynnwood road next to Solomons, can't recall the centre name
