Wolftooth shiftmount Not sure if they are available here yet. Evobikes should be able to tell you. https://bikerumor.com/2018/11/26/wtc-shiftmount-marries-shimano-brakes-sram-shifters-plus-new-le-remote-colors/

Looking at how you guys klapped it through the leafy suburbs of Swellies, I think that is where you made up a lot of your time

Where does 'broek naai' fit into that sequence?

Looking forward to the race report

Mixed Category: 1. Bluff Meat Supply Mixed 05:12:36 2. Cape Cycle Tours 05:13:42 3. Pure Savage Mixed Racing 05:36:32 A friend of mine rode with them (that's her holding the flowers up)

I don't seem to remember any crashes in previous years. One happened 10m behind me on the fast section between Op de Tradouw and Montagu. Saw 2 others that must have just happened - lots of blood. Not great to see. I hoe that everyone involved isn't too badly hurt and heal up quickly.

A lekker day out, as always. 12 riders x 200km = Lots of stories to tell over the fire that evening Good organisation and I think we were lucky with the weather (but I could have done with a tailwind instead of a headwind over the 3 bitches )

There can be only one:

Its a fenced off area with guards. Your bike number has to race the race number on your jersey to get out again. Or they give you a sticker or something. Its proper and trustworthy. More so than leaving your bike in the car out on the streets.

I will start with the weather predictions for Swellendam, Barrydale and Robertson:

Is it too early to start worrying about the weather and obsessing over our bikes that aren't running perfectly or stressing about the slight sniffle that we picked up ? #paranoia

My wife has one. Totally reignited her love for cycling edit:lucky daughter !

My wife's team starts 1 1/2 hours before us. The chase is on!

#Clydesdale Although,I wouldn't say that to his face

So much of 'Eish!'

Awesome riding! Those tracks/trails/paths are wider that some of our district roads!

That met if not exceeded our expectations. I wasn't there on a shopping trip, nor for food. But my son spent some birthday money (knee pads) and got posters, stickers and a Leat cap from the sales girl who thought he was cute. I touched and felt all sorts of carbon bit and bobs and test rode 3 bikes. A lot of boxes were ticked and we both left there super stoked with our afternoon

I don't think that one goes tubeless to save weight. Assuming one has wheels that are tubeless compatible (i.e. ignoring potential difference in wheel weight) Tubeless tyre (300g) + sealant (60-90g) + valve (10g) = approx 400g 'Normal' tyre (215g) + tube (60-90g) = approx 300g (welcome to check my assumptions and maths)

AARRGGH! You beat me to it!

Finally! Continental goes tubeless with GP5000 https://bikerumor.com/2018/11/07/continental-gp-5000-tl-goes-tubeless-finally-new-modern-benchmark-road-tire/
