Weight Weenie

Give trailrunning a bash. The movements are much more varied so I found it less likely to irritate the ITB versus running on the road it can happen quite quickly for me.

KCNC Foam grips are Weight Weenie's budget lightweight pick

Took me the same time to ride to work than it did to drive there and I was way more relaxed

Was referring to the falling off the bike part, but you have the rest waxed as well.

So how does this compare the Magalies Adventure stage race and the 35km Nissan route at Van Gaalen's ? That's the only riding I've done in the area.

Sounds about right!

As it's on my bifday I guess I have no choice but to ride it

I think I need clean shorts now. NICE!

Nice bike. You'll love the R1's! I'm not so sure about the carbon saddle rail though.

Gobi ain't my thang either. Selle Italia SL/SLR range all the way.

Got a Garmin Swim watch. Hopefully it will motivate me to get in the pool more...

Thanks will give the beans a try

In PTA most proper coffee shops make a decent flat white, but don't expect a good espresso. Milk can hide some very bad shots I tell you!

Correction, you don't swim yet... Think about what you will do in the future. In hind sight I perhaps should have got the 910 and not the Edge 500, as I now do a bit of everything.

Eish OK. I know that the "3" model is the 1st one in the range to have dual bearings, as the "1" and "2" models have bushings or bearings and bushings. I bought a set of the "3" candy pedals that I still want to see if I can exchange for the eggies. So have yet to see how they perform. I never had issues with my eggies, save a rebuild or two in the few years I had them. But then again I didn't ride that hard/long/often as many of you do...

Anyone tried the new eggies that run bearings and not bushings? Should be way more reliable

If you need a barometric altimeter the 910 is you only option in that bunch. Remember the mapping on the 910 is only a bread crumb trail with an arrow, not a car GPS type map, for that you would look at the Edge 800 or their outdoor units. Depends what features you need at the end of the day.

Do you have the 1st model R1 with the magnesium levers? I have this issue with mine, the bolts that hold the lever start to loosen, so watch out that they don't fall out. I have not tried it but I think Loctite on the bolts may help, as you cannot tighten them all the way or the lever does not return after pulling it. From my understanding it also has something to do with the insert through which the screws go, but no one or shop has been able to sort it out or explain the exact issue. Seems that with the mag levers that was an issue but the new models with carbon or alu levers are fine. I want to get some of the alu levers from crc with new screws and inserts and see if that help. LOVE the R1's but this issue is annoying.

Awesome! Would it grind fine enough for semi-auto espresso machines?

Says the one with shiny new Niner who drive a Lexus

For a second there I though it was a croc!

Nice! As Tim Don would say, "Dirty Fast"

How much if I may ask? And how does it perform?

Well I'm 99% sure that was what it was. Too light in colour to be a Rinkhals I think (though snake colour seems vary varied), could have been a snouted cobra as they look similar, but from reading on the web, other people have also seen and taken pics of the moz cobra there so that's what I'm going with. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/110741-snakes-at-groenkloof/
