  1. Hey Folks.

    I have lost track of how long I've been on this forum but with the latest changes i'm going to say ciao.Im not here to buy or sell items and now with so many of the chit chat groups closed there's nothing left here.There's plenty of other forums out there for my other interests.

    I wish the admins good luck on their new approach.????:thumbup:

    I'm still on instagram and you welcome to stalk me there.:lol:

  2. My Klipsch earbud fell out on Wednesday while cycling and a tractor went over it.
    Not paying a small fortune  for a pair again so ordered these off Amazon for €50.Read a few reviews and decided to give them a try.
    Wow they actually sound great for the money.
    Way better than original iPhone earbuds????
    They also water resistant and come with a soft silicone cover to protect them from drops.

    Yes, was good weather this weekend for the 2-day 338km mostly-gravel loop of the Overberg. Will go back to 40s if mud is expected. The point is, gravel bikes for local conditions need at least 42's (in my opinion).

    I’m running 42mm WTB Resolute tyres at the moment and  it’s a big difference from 40mm.They measure closer to 44 on the 25mm rims????

    The internals of those motors are designed for the rated power of that motor IE 250 ,350 watt etc . Its like  super charging a standard motor on a car without upgrading the internals . It does not last long and then its a expensive repair .

    As soon as it’s chipped the warranty is void and it very expensive to repair.

     

  5. It’s not just the wheels.

    The neuron is a trail bike and not a race bike so it’s  the beefier frame,fork and the geometry of the bike.

    your friends are on 100mm race bikes that are made for speed.If that’s  what you are wanting then sell the frame and fork and buy something lighter or swop the bike.

    I love my neuron as a all round bike but I’m  not a race snake and just enjoy the riding.

    ps mines at 12kg at the moment????????

    I was on the receiving end of bike snobbism from some random on a specialized recently and was surprised by the level of ignornance on my poor steel hardtail. Made me upset and sad at the same time as people should be able to enjoy themselves within their means. By all means ride your specialized but don’t complain about the prices being inflated as you choose to buy into the clique.

    I just ignore people that tell me what I should ride.One of my favorite bikes is my steel Ritchey.I often get told I must ride carbon because it’s the best and lightest but I just smile and say “ok sure”.

  7. A mate of mine has a few bikes and saw a wanted advert on a local group so he replied saying that he had what the guy was looking for.He told the guy to make him a offer as he wasn’t sure what the bike was worth.Said buyer offered him €300 more than he paid for the bike 3 years ago.

    The buyer had his bike stolen and has a Ironman next month so he was desperate to get a bike.

     

    it’s simple supply and demand and there just isn’t enough stock to go around.
