In between the ridiculous rain and unnecessary expense of riding there in it's Jan/Feb state (unnecessary expense = drowned power meter, brake pads fubar after short muddy life, etc), I'll wait a few more weeks. Really sad though, it's on our doorstep!

Old post, but hopefully you can remember! Using a dull brain and tough finger nail, I've broken the tabs on my Gen 1 battery cover. Does the Gen2 fit straight on, with no "adjusting"?

I rode the 20km with my wife and some drinking buddies last year, and traffic was OK, but the route marking was absolutely terrible in the last 5 kms before the finish. It was that bad that people were turning back and cycling against the oncoming people, so really not cool. The marshalls at this part of the track were also completely clueless. Luckily we ride there quite often and could figure out a bypass, and get over the cool finishing bridge The rest of the track was typical RedBarn, with lots of fun trails to ride, and the feeling that you're hardly ever going straight. With all the hassles from last year, we'll be riding it again this year!

And that's why I also have a dikwiel in the stable

Very good info, thanks for posting! How many of us run wider than 2.5 tyres? Will be interesting to see how the new generation Arch rims hold up, compared to the last generation "fragile" Arch's

Thanks so much for the answer, good to know

Those are lekker tekkies! From CRC? How was the sizing compared to other brands (in case you've had other brand shoes before)?

Probably part of the reason why he's an ex-pro!!!!

I have the 180mm version on my Merida 650B, and they work with my fat arse strapped in. Done about 1200km and wear seems normal, together with no noticeable decrease in braking performance vs OEM Shimano 180mm non-IceTecs. No complaints.

Unfortunately it's Dawnwing too, so I'm holding my breath News: Parcel arrived just before 14:00!

I really hope that doesn't happen to me! Apparently my package will be delivered between 11:00 and 14:00 today.

Some maintenance bits, some tools and a new steering setup for some of my steeds! Ordered around 12:00 on Tuesday from CRC, and delivered this morning before 08:30. Meanwhile, in other news, still waiting for my order from CWC also placed on Tuesday.......

Hi Johann, if it still has shifters, yes please. I've put on a set of SLX brakes for him already, so the rest would be super. Please PM me.

Any clamp-on style front derailleurs for a 3x7 setup on my gardeners Makro-bike? The pressed steel china-style one keeps going out of alignment, and the pivot points are worn out already. Willing to pay for a Shimano one if you have. Please PM me

I have a 2 month old Shimano Tourney RHS grip shift, and the half-grip that goes with it. R100 for both LHS and RHS (it's off our gardener's bike, so he needs all the pennies he can get for his new-born baby in Lilongwe) Let me know
