Schurter still in the mix to mop up a few more points

He had a very wild run yesterday!

Perhaps put a request here:

Titan's own inhouse brand (TRC), so you wont find rings to replace that. Also looks like a M12 bolt is through the crank shaft, so a new crank may be in order. 3x8 may be hard to find...

Of those two, I would go for the Titan if they have your size. That Niner is more of a Cyclocross bike with race geometry and limited tyre clearance.

They need Bernard Hinault to sort them out

We rode that the pass on Friday But I did see a Savage rider heading up as we were descending Sounds like we missed each other, but had a Savage in our overlap

This wasn't the top, but there was no sign up there

Swartberg Pass (from Prince Albert)

It's a bit early in the day to be giving out lap dances

No, hence them going on my wife's bike. I have the Pirelli Cinturato 28's on my bike

No, these are the ordinary or 1st gen tubeless (TL) But it looks like Evo Bikes has the hookless compatible version: S TR https://evobikes.co.za/product/continental-grand-prix-5000-s-tr-700-x-25c-folding-tyre/

Delivered this morning Also got some Orange Seal from @Lanoy Sports for when I do swap them out on my wife's bike

Is that the modern version of a thinking cap ?

Takealot and Evobikes if you are shopping online

Nice to see the Saffa flag in the mix!

I know that's how sprinting goes, but every now and again it ends badly and someone ends up on the ground or in the barriers (recent notable examples: Sagan v Cavendish or Groenewegen v Jakobsen). i.e. it's fine as long as no one crashes as a result of the bumping and barging. So anyway, it was ballsy, no one hit the deck and it worked well for him. Some mad skillz! Quite impressive when you watch it again and break it down into smaller bits: https://cyclingtips.com/2022/07/peter-sagans-still-got-it-can-he-use-it/

Sagan was a bit crazy! I don't think he made any friends in that sprint...

A second clip after that showed that both tyres seemed to be flat. (could have been the shadows though)

You might need something that I might throw away: Shimano 11spd rear mechs x 3 in various states of functionality. The one XT's clutch is poked Not sure what is wrong with the other, but LBS said it was knackered. The XTR one is OK'ish, but a bit old and tired. Before I bin them, perhaps someone wants them for parts. There is some value here, but not much... I am in Cape Town if anyone wants to collect.

I didn't watch the podium presentation Did they have empty bubbly, like the ladies did ? (no more eye injuries)
