  1. It got all 'Game of Thrones' when he grabbed the pin But the toughest one of everyone in that video is the blond in the short skirt But remember:
  2. This looks like fun! Vanquish
  3. https://www.parktool.com/product/wheel-holder-wh-2 And the other is a big toilet roll holder
  4. I scratched a bit more of my Park Tool itch (Via Amazon )
  5. Where did you get the DSD-2 ?
  6. Along similar lines, 'Wayne' was also really good
  7. Pivot Trail 429 I don't care what it weighs, take my money now! https://bikerumor.com/2021/02/23/pivot-trail-429-blurs-the-line-between-xc-aggressive-trail-with-new-frame-design/ http://bikerumor.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Pivot-Trail-429-Silver-Blue-mountain-bike-29-inch-2021-4.jpg?ezimgfmt=rs:696x486/rscb10/ng:webp/ngcb10
  8. Is he cutting and welding it up himself ? Please start a thread with some pics and details.
  9. Some people buy jewellery, and others buy bikes. I prefer the latter...
  10. I have changes 2 cassettes now - what a breeze! Plenty of grip on the cassette with no (percieved) additional clamping force required. And because the handles are spring loaded, it just pops off when you are finished. No unwrapping required. It's not that a 'normal' chainwhip is hard to use in the first place. That's what I originally ordered, but they sent this and I didn't have to pay the price difference. Hard to tell if its worth it, but I am very happy now that I have it.
  11. I am a few episodes in and am enjoying it too A part of me keeps thinking that it's like the Steampunk version of 'Murder on the Orient Express'
  12. OK. I don't have a gravel bike nor have I ridden in the EC, so have no experience on either topic. Is this more appropriate ? https://ninerbikes.com/products/mcr-9-rdo
  13. I wonder what these brands would say to that Litespeed Moots Curve Lynskey Van Nicholas J.Guillem Sonder Knolly Reilly Cycleworks J.Laverack Kinesis Enigma Salsa
  14. When he says NSFW, he isn't referring to violence...
  15. Nice change from the usual stuff I watch. Not sure if I would watch it regularly though.
  16. Eyeballing your bike from Cape Town, I reckon you could do a 150mm dropper. Perhaps something like this one : https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/dropper-seat-posts/460126/lyne-xl-dropper-post-150mm-internal-309
  17. I saw this the other day. Not too familiar with Maxxis tyres, so not sure how accurate it is. https://www.worldwidecyclery.com/blogs/worldwide-cyclery-blog/maxxis-tires-simplified-the-best-mtb-tire-combos-for-your-bike-video
  18. I reckon that's a good combo for group rides, but probably not adequate for riding on your own in the dark. (I say that without ever seeing either in action)
  19. So you can shoot while sitting down
  20. I have the Bontrager Ion Pro - Solid when its dark and strobe as it gets light. On the rear, I have a Giant Recon TL100 under my saddle with a old cheapo Ryder on the back of my helmet. My wife has a Ryder Concept 900 on the front (solid or disco mode), with the same TL100 under her saddle and a newer brighter Ryder on the back of her helmet. The front lights are go-pro mounted under the Garmin, so compact and neat and there is never an excuse to not have them on. Despite that, we both had cars turning in front of us last year. I went over the bonnet and was reasonably unscathed. She hit the side of the car and is still dealing with her injuries. Cars are looking for cars in the traffic, not bikes . So, when people say: 'Be careful out there!'. There is only so much we can do. The rest is up to everyone else.
  21. I didn't realise that there was a 2nd season. Thanks for the heads-up!
  22. Try this one: ZeroZeroZero Following a consignment of cocaine from the moment a powerful Italian cartel decides to buy the cocaine until it has been delivered and paid for. On the way, it is packed in Mexico and transported across the Atlantic.
  23. A heavy story, but well done (I thought).
  24. A bit late to the game, but stumbled upon Season 1 this last week. What a story! What are season 2 & 3 like ?
  25. It's been a while since we have had a good couch pic Even those 2 ladies are super stoked! Wishing you many happy and safe miles
