  1. I am half heartedly dabbling with the idea of getting a Stages power meter, but find it interesting that many of the used ones on the Classifieds are 175mm length and not the 'standard' 172.5mm. Is there a reason behind this or just a strange observation/phenomenon ?
  2. Olympic Cycles: http://www.olympiccycles.co.za/shop/giant-anthem-2-29er-2018/ I saw one at John o Connor Cycles a short while ago Giant Durbanville https://www.facebook.com/GiantDurbanville/ Bridge Cycles: http://www.bridgecycles.co.za/Giant-Anthem-2-29-ER-Carbon-Mountain%20Bike%20?filter_name=giant%20anthem%2029

    My Sock Game got a boost this past weekend
  6. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/giants-new-dh-shoes-and-the-rebirth-of-the-anthem-29-sea-otter-2017.html Carl Decker showed up ready to race at the Sea Otter Classic aboard an early version of the carbon bike. The final details are still being kept under wraps, but Giant did say that the bike has 90mm of rear travel and a 100mm up front, and a full carbon frame. Full details about the Anthem should be announced in June, with availability beginning sometime in the fall.
  7. Probably waiting for the official launch In the meantime, the bikes are in shops and for sale. R39 250 for the Anthem X2 (with very similar spec and R1000 more than the 2017 model)
  8. I would be interested in seeing more of this guy's work: Eric Estlund - Winter Bicycles: http://www.winterbicycles.com/projects/laubgravur/ http://hbg.etour.bg/assets/source/500-Frameopedia-Bicycles/Framebuilders/winter-bicycles/20160404_winter_preview_02.jpg http://cdn.mos.bikeradar.imdserve.com/images/news/2017/04/07/dscf0893-1491580215662-1dx1gbys0gnqq-630-354.jpg
  9. Lightweight Fernweg disc wheelset @ €6,670 a pair http://www.bikeradar.com/road/news/article/lightweight-fernweg-disc-wheels-49702/ http://cdn.mos.bikeradar.imdserve.com/images/news/2017/04/18/img_5132-1492521053493-1ctmgw1d5uw8f-630-80.jpg
  10. yep. I really enjoyed it
  11. @ Iwan : is the geometry of this prototype the same as the production model launched the other day? The consensus was that the reach was way too short. How do you feel about it having ridden the bike?
  12. That is quite something But why the fascination with deep section carbon rims on these bikes? Is it because its sexy AF? I agree and am happy to accept that. Or is aero really a consideration on gravel roads? Don't those massive tyres negate the aero advantage somewhat?
  13. Nice How's that Lyne crank working out? It looks pretty good - and so does the price...
  14. Correct http://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=144490 Apart from the paint, there seems to be some semi custom geometry (well, with headtube length anyway) and they are Di2 specific.

  16. I finished Season 1 last night - Quite enjoyed that. Waiting to stack up a few episodes of S02 before I start watching again.
  17. A.K.A. Pool Noodle?
  18. She's Donna, and she's awesome
  19. Sounds like Rob Warner
  20. Revised geometry with longer travel and boost spacing along with trunion mount rear shock is new and exciting. The 27.5" bikes were well received. I am keen to see what the end product looks like (and costs), but cant find anything on the interwebs. Does anyone have a link to some news?
  21. At the risk of flogging a nearly dead horse, why cant Disco do this deal on a Samsung Gear S3? Say hello to Apple Watch Series 2 I asked them, and got this answer: Thank you for contacting us. We do not offer the Samsung Gear as we are not contracted with Samsung. We are contracted with Apple as they are part of the Discovery Card benefits. We will forward your email to our Partner Operations Department to advise them on your suggestion to partner with Samsung as it is a preferred partner
  22. Timeless is getting a bit boring and stretched out... Has anyone watched Goliath or Sneaky Pete?
