  1. Yep, highly rate my Bontrager Ion Pro for road and mountain adventures in the dark
  2. Extreme lights have a range of good products For riding trails in the dark: https://www.extremelights.co.za/collections/bicycle-lights/products/endurance-bicycle-light-phoenix-rear-bicycle-light-combo For commuting: https://www.extremelights.co.za/collections/bicycle-lights/products/nifty-bicycle-light Or perhaps something from Ryder that is a bit more compact, but not as bright: Concept 900 https://www.rydercycling.co.za/ryder-products/lights
  3. I must say that I am not a fan of tan walls either Perhaps its a retro thing, or it breaks up the murdered out black on black theme that was popular for a while. Edit: Tan walls look OK on MTB's and I quite like them on gravel bikes
  4. Tanwall and Tubeless! https://bikerumor.com/2021/02/11/goodyear-gets-all-tan-with-new-sidewall-options-sizes-treads-for-road-gravel-tires/
  5. That lump is the battery and controller or brain. I imagine that the next iteration from Fox will be hidden inside the fork steerer or something.
  6. My wife does not understand my excitement over something so simple or basic. It's just a flipping bar stool ! And its too low anyway
  7. I can imagine that its beautiful and worth every cent, but I have a long list of other tools that I want/need before I get one of these. Thanks for the offer and your photos. Awesome
  8. Yes, with all his other internally routed trickery, that battery sticks out like the dog's balls!
  9. All those cables!
  10. Dangerholm at it again with a 9.8kg Scott Spark Sram AXS with Fox Live suspension with internal cable routing https://bikerumor.com/2021/02/09/dangerholm-drops-sub-10kg-hyper-spark-xc-dream-bike-w-stratospheric-spec-list/
  11. Needs Gherkins
  12. I recently bought one from Evobikes https://www.evobikes...hop-hammer-8oz/ https://www.evobikes...-4-shop-hammer/ Edit: I may have snagged the last one as I see that its no longer in stock
  13. Sounds like you need this setup at work: https://capecoffeebeans.co.za/a/bundles/aeropress-travel-bundle-with-porlex-coffee-grinder-seg
  14. I order coffee 1kg at a time and get something different each with order. Currently, I have the Guatemala from Dirk @ Balance Coffee: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSemtphz9bo4kUuV-Z39ymLy8saLeYcTX-Q3RTpsyxK99Tw0mw/viewform My other favourite is Bob's Damn Fine Coffee in Kalk Bay. Very well priced, but he doesnt have much of a distribution chain. https://localgrind.co.za/ has a reasonable selection to choose from Holy Roller from Grind n Gears (the nerd) is pretty awesome Deluxe is nice and well priced. Edit: I haven't used Bootleggers in a while, but am at their various shops often on the bike. Store bought beans worry me from a freshness point of view. We were in Hermanus a few weeks ago and someone pointed me towards Mikro - great suggestion! I haven't tried RAW, so will add that to my list
  15. Hi Keith Sorry to hear about your ordeal - I hope that you weren't hurt. Where and what time did this happen ? I live in Kenilworth, so am interested to hear about how it happened.
  16. Given his attack on the buyer and defence of the seller, I am guessing that it was his bike that was being sold Not sure if that should be in Sartalics or not...

  18. I can't seem to find one on SA websites - are they available here ? (Cape Cycle Systems is the agent)
  19. Evobikes https://www.evobikes.co.za/product/park-tool-hmr-8-shop-hammer-8oz/ https://www.evobikes.co.za/product/park-tool-hmr-4-shop-hammer/
  20. My toolbox is starting to look a bit better Not of a lot of stock at the moment though, so my wish list is still quite long.
  21. For all the haters https://www.pinkbike.com/news/video-emily-batty-calls-out-the-haters-in-the-teaser-for-season-2-of-ambitions.html
  22. Is this like when the Gummi Bears were considered satanic and Monster Energy Drink is a little too symbolic or is it more like Bless Bridges records played backwards reads potjiekos recipes? Or does he have a point ?
  23. Trial by BikeHub means that all parties are burned at the stake #victimblaming
