Looking for a small 1.5-2.0l handlebar bag.Any suggestions?
What about the 1.8l Apidura Backcountry top tube bag? easier access, more stable and *cough* more aero.
So my second gravel tyre exploded off my new carbon rim today.
Please can I have some advice on what gravel tyres to run on my gravel bike? Any recommendations? Looking for either 38 or 40’s.
Probably more important what carbon rims you are running. too wide and they will blow off. hookless and the tires will not work. Some guys trying to run MTB rims and they are often too wide.

A secret clique or faction.
Based at the Trails End Bike Hotel in Grabouw on 13 & 14 April 2018, The Cabal is a limited-entry event that will change the way you think about cycling.
Bring any bike. We don’t limit what you ride, focusing on the ride entirely. We recommend a Gravel Bike with at least 40mm tyres to get you through the day. Any less and you may not make it.
Hi All.
On Monday, we took a group of 20 - 25 guys and girls on a new kind of cycling Tour. Here at Privateer we have a switchback problem. We love them. We hunt them. We dope on these beautiful pieces of road in our back gardens. In fact, we like them so much, we go out looking for the roads less ridden.

There are a few roads going up to the Magalies ridge
1. Just north of Bremmer st
2. Otherside of the ridge towards Mooi Nooi side
They are not gravel but it could be good fun - even a dbl - bike/run for combined time.
I remember those areas - grew up in Pretoria.
Sounds a treat. Send us some photos and take us on a ride next time we are that way?
Amped to bring the HURT on Saturday. Road bikes for panache.
Or JHB?
We should organise a Jozi vs Cape Town one. Same sort of height, same sort of surface...

let's build an army out there, clean our trails, reduce our landfills and carpool to races.
make the commitment.
Kosmonooit we had almost zero mechanicals.
1 x flat tire, with a mini sidewall.
One of the bikes had a cassette and chain replaced 2/3rds in, but this was due for replacement before the trip already.
As we are not riding hard and there is limited single track on the trip, the bikes were great, but here is a short list of spares that we carry:
1. deraileur hangers
2. shift and brake cables
3. plugs and sealant
4. crank bolts
5. cable ties
6. duct tape
with duct tape and cable ties, you can always make a plan.
I thought some of the hubbers would want to read about our trip.
It was just awesome. check it out here: http://www.urban-ninja.co.za/index.php/2012/01/epic-unsupported-tour-2011/
thanks in advance.
I am going to go race Slanghoek & Triple Challenge now that it's cancelled.
The rest of my thoughts here: http://www.urban-ninja.co.za/index.php/2011/10/challenge-cape-town-postponed-so-what-be-the-journey/
looks so amazing. are the colors customisable?
might have to put these on a special 2011 project I am working on...
its nice to see that there are so many opinions. its also worth noting that you cant satisfy everyone, and I think the kit looks great, and kit always looks really bold on paper, but once out in the real world, its far more subtle.
imagine the kit on a bike, out on the open road, leading a solo break.
awesome...
or they should take one of each. but its quite funny. The Whasp Kit is very Joburg and this kit, is a little more, well, Cape Town.
