What ever happened to him? Is he still in circulation (as a doctor or a scammer) ? According to his Insta feed, he is coining it on the Crypto Circuit https://www.instagram.com/illydw/

The one can be plugged more effectively than the other...

Apparently the sales of black insulation tape went up after that... (to stick over the camera on your laptop)

This is pretty awesome Max Richeze, took the acclaim of the peloton before last night's stage having decided to retire after his home race...

Yep. that Redshift stem is good at taking the sting out of the rougher roads. Not cheap when you discover the price, but the value is there when you feel it working for you. The C17 saddle that I got from @MORNE also has a bit of give, so helps absorb some shock before traveling up my spine.

CyclingTips and Outside, Yes But I was referring to Wade and Caley's new ventures that @openmind mentioned. https://wadewallace.substack.com/p/onwards-and-upwards

I am following their new trajectory with interest.

Lets keep it going and see if it really kicks off tomorrow (Moer Mekaar Vrydag) )

In this hypothetical situation where you were the driver and you knocked this cyclist over and drove over his bike - you would still get out your car and 'sort him out' ? I don't like that the cyclist kicked the drivers door, but there is a certain amount of understandable anger in that situation. Badly handled. But understandable... I was there, so cannot comment on who was being more entitled - the driver or the cyclist for squeezing through a tiny gap. Surely the car should have been sensible and given way ? Perhaps the cyclist should have shown a bit of restraint and done the same?

The bigger question is why were cars squeezing past each other through tiny gaps that don't exist, especially when its not safe to do so because a cyclist is there. (I wasn't there, so am only guessing. Do we have to wait until Friday to throw petrol on this fire ?)

Less cost of dent in her door ? Sounds like a strange and silly incident

Stages and new version of the 4iiii seem to be OK on the 2022 Checkpoint

Does anyone know what happened with this incident ?

It depends on what sort of riding you do, and with whom. And also depends on where you live and where ride. If you could only have one bike and weren't at the pointy end of races, then that would be the way to go. 2 sets of wheels would close the gap. So would a 2x11 setup (unless you could get a big chainring to go with a wide range cassette)

I have done the mast twice on a GG, but didn't enjoy the descent once you get down to the dirt roads. They are very rough and I was very concerned about my wheels. We came up the Wa Pad on another ride, but bailed and went down OKW as it was just too hectic on the downhill sections towards the boom. We just couldn't face level 5 and the whole descent to the car park. There are people tougher than my mates and I who do this regularly as well as the Blockhouse and Kirstenbosch loop. We feel that these rides are best done on the MTB for maximum enjoyment. But if you are looking for a challenge, or you only have a GG then go for it. Just because you can, doesn't mean that you should 🤣

This guy has a whole Youtube and Instagram page of him following pros on training camps in Calpe and surrounds. The negativity comes from the comments, not this guy. https://www.instagram.com/artem4ik19/ https://road.cc/content/news/cycling-live-blog-17-january-2022-298679#live-blog-item-42341

Tell us more about the incident (or post a link)

Classic clickbait 🤣

Part of the delay in the whole process is the shipping of the products to the shop and then sending them on from there. I have ordered items and then received somebody else's package, which then needed to be collected and sent again. I have also ordered items which arrived in boxes that were crushed and damaged. The item was fine, so I couldn't be bothered to start another process with them. The couriers they use are not your usual big names, so perhaps they are cheaper (and that is probably why they are also slower) All in all, its not an awesome process compared to many other online stores where your item often arrives the next day with no admin or drama. Other times, its worth the wait because the price is that good. But not always...

Does it blow air fast enough to seat a tubeless tyre ?

A tiger ? In Africa ?

I see that there was a fire there on Monday night. We rode past on Tuesday morning and could still smell the smoke while the firefighters were sitting on the railing having some breakfast and enjoying that exact view. Glad they got it under control!

I cant comment on its accuracy, but it appears to be the best value for money as it includes the bits. Most of the others don't. The Teng Tool one felt pretty good and I know that you can have it serviced and calibrated (with certificate) on Voortrekker Rd in Goodwood. I now have the Park Tool ones and am not sure if that was a good move... (does anybody know if / how / where they can be checked and calibrated ?

Maybe they were waiting for the jerseys to be printed!

I am not training for anything in particular and really enjoy my 'junk miles'. I did feel a sense of achievement at the end of last year having ridden more than any other year. With that came a lot of rides with my wife and friends having coffee, touring the countryside and the odd race here and there. As stated before: 'What a marvellously random (and useless) fun fact'. I hope that you don't feel threatened by anyone else's number...
