  1. Bar and Grips fitted. The grip clamps are very very gold. Rode around the street in front of the house and the bar en grips felt good. Steering did not really feel much different at the moment. Will take it out for the long ride this weekend and see.
  2. Bliksem . . . Dis nice.
  3. The ones who have no bunch riding skills . . . . They are all over the route . . .
  4. As Ryanpmb said. Answer 20/20. http://www.answerproducts.com/components/bars/protaper-carbon-720-enduro/ http://reviews.mtbr.com/answer-carbon-720-enduro-2020-handlebar-review http://velonews.competitor.com/2012/08/mtb/answers-answer-to-alt-bars-the-carbon-720-enduro-2020-bar-2_252389 Will definitely post pics.
  5. I just think one should never ride naked on them . . . . some parts could be "knyped"
  6. This is the saddle I actually want . . .. but expensive to get from the USA. http://selleanatomica.com/ http://www.cambriabike.com/Images/product/large/selle_anatomica_saddles.jpg http://www.bikepacking.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/2013-09-05_05.jpg http://fcdn.mtbr.com/attachments/29er-bikes/360744d1210900129-selle-anatomica-mod-selle-anatomica-mod.-large-.jpg
  7. You said it! I was looking for a Brooks Saddle . . but could not find/afford.
  8. These just arrived for the Mariachi. Can not wait to get home !! The funky grips was on sale . .. and I liked them.
  9. Nice!! Looks like the cable for electronic XTR RD runs thru the headset, exit bottom of the steering tube and enter the down-tube there.
  10. Froome will never see those signs . .. it is not on his stem.
  11. For a moment I thought he is going to do it on a cyclocross bike . . . But: "They will be riding Silverback Sesta SBC bikes." http://www.dirttri.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Silverback_sesta_CONCEPT-1021.png
  12. You got to love marketing . . . Would this "Race Sealant" still work if the rider is commuting or doing a recovery ride and not racing . . ? Pity it only "virtually" eliminate flats and not actually or really.
  13. I used to get them every time I seat a new tire and used Stan's. After taking it out and refilling with. . . they normally do not come back. I now use Sludge . . . I do not believe it seals any better than Stan's (Stan's does work good), but I never get any "Marsians" Stan's also only lasted about month or maximum two. Then time to top up. Perhaps the dry weather and "moer baie dorings" here? (Duwweltjies do NOT count as thorns) http://www.kyffhauser.co.za/Plants3/Dichrostachys_cinerea_var_africana/Image1.jpg
  14. Will this "new" Stan's be less likely to make the a-morphic lumps rolling around in the tire? And no . . . I never use CO2 bombs in inflate or seat a tire, only a good quality Birzman floor pump.
  15. I did not read the whole thread . . I am not saying she did not anything wrong. BUT How old is Yolande de Villiers? Not like she is 22-years old? Many combination blood pressure medications contains HCTZ or other diuretics. Older women and water retention goes hand in hand. (No pun intended) But then on her level of competition, I suppose she and her doctors should know better.
  16. This news is going to give many riders in SA even more wood . .
  17. Some pics of the scarce El Mariachi spotted in natural habitat.
  18. What is so special about it to warrant that price?!! Just look like some polished stainless steel, leave shaped, outer plates fitted to a normal chain
  19. BMW shaft drive prototype bicycle?
  20. Most like the sleek looking road bikes . . . . . (Me . . .I'll walk past any Ferrari to go and look at an 4X4 or Unimog ) This is my bike porn. http://www.pinkbike.com/news/nicolai-mojo-geometron-first-ride-2015.html http://www.mojo.co.uk/media/1049/mojonicolai_photosalextylerheader.jpg?width=866px&height=577px http://www.mojo.co.uk/media/1052/image_release_3.jpg?width=870px&height=579px http://www.mojo.co.uk/media/1050/image_release_1.jpg?width=865px&height=583px http://www.mojo.co.uk/media/1057/image_release_5.jpg?width=871px&height=310px
  21. Post some more pics of that Karate Monkey of yours if you don't mind . . . That is one sweeeet ride.
  22. I'll not even take my bike out. Will immediately go and drown the urge to cycle in pints beer.
  23. Damn good photos!
  24. I was looking at it . . . . But with the Rand going tits-up these dropouts had the possibility of two flies with one swat.
  25. Thru Axle fitted to Mr. Mariachi last night.
