I think that he deserves a bit of hype

Clutch on your rear mech gone ?

Sounds like prep for Date Night ! 😂

Or the 'Should I buy a Gravel Bike ?' thread

You are right - I was posting a pic to support your comment on the chain stay strengthening.

This is Mamils on Tour. The terms Glamping and Slack Packing come to mind. Its not Bear Grylls Bootcamp! There needs to be beer and wine and steak 😂

We looked at doing this over 3 days, but eventually canned the idea as we struggled to find 2 places that had accommodation AND food because we didn't want to schlepp all of that. I am sure that there are options as many people have done this.

Not sure the gains will be worth the effort. Especially for a tri bike (which is meant to go fast in straight lines) What bike do you currently have ?

He had a great career cut short due to that terrible crash. I think that he should take a page out of Cav's book and retire with dignity.

Did he manage to start the 200 ?

That was me this week 😂

Where is Keane Bikes based ? https://keanbikes.co.za/products/Ass-Savers-Regular-p436122019

I got these SKS ones from Takealot. Effective but difficult to get on and off if you do it often https://www.takealot.com/sks-rear-mudguard-for-bicycles-super-light-24g-s-guard-black-201/PLID70964476

For better or for worse: Campy has gone wireless (and dropped the thumb shifter) This does qualify for the 'Worst Kept Secret' awards. https://bikerumor.com/2023-campagnolo-super-record-wireless-road-bike-groupset/ https://www.cyclingtips.com/2023/05/campagnolo-super-record-wireless-first-look-review/ https://road.cc/content/tech-news/campagnolo-introduces-new-super-record-wireless-301467 https://escapecollective.com/farewell-thumb-shifter-a-deep-dive-into-campagnolos-new-super-record-wireless/

Did the tyre hold pressure when pumped back up to 5 Bar?

2 seconds ? Felt like a lot more. It looked like an F1 pitstop vs Sunday picnic

The One-6-One (Timed by Strava, so it counts as a Gran Fondo 😎 😂) Our 100 Mile charity ride for a mate with 2 coffee stops in Scarborough and then finish with some Lagerchinos in Rondebosch. We were so lucky with the weather yesterday!

I don't know where to post this, so will derail this thread a bit more https://bikerumor.com/the-beam-x-virgo-move-full-face-helmet-brings-extra-protection-for-safer-ebike-riding/

OK. But I am nervous of a previous post about lubing properly afterwards Yes, I was wondering about getting dirt under my nails if there was a machine that could do it for me. I will stick to the tried and tested method of paraffin in a jar for the chain and the cassette in a plastic container. A bit more admin, but a lot cheaper. Thanks for the responses. I will suppress that impulsive notion.

This looks like a bargain! https://www.rapide.co.za/product/pirelli-cinturato-gravel-mixed-tyre-700-x-45c-pair/
