  1. Get a few big and heavy tree stumps about 450 to 500 mm in length and cut into it with a chainsaw a gap big enough to accept front wheels . Cheap,difficult to steal and nice looking
  2. Have you tried Switchbacksports in Cape Town ?
  3. 6.40 am on a Saturday…when there lots of cyclists out on their bikes
  4. Sorry man hope you get it back
  5. Excellent thank you
  6. Yes . Dont laugh . I have a friend / customer who recently turned 82 years old . He has completed 20 Comrades runs , just about the same nr of Duzi’s, Berg River Marathons , Fish River marathons . Until about 2 years ago he would cycle with his E-bike to Oudtshoorn from Prince Albert via Swartberg Pass,do his business and return the next day the same way. But he has lost his balance to an extend and had a bad fall a while ago . He does not want to give up on being on a bicycle . We had a look at trikes . I test rode one with a front hub motor and that wont work for him difficult to control. So in a joke he said why don’t we put side wheels on his E-bike . Anyone has any ideas suggestions on this ?
  7. Awesome . Yes not between now and April . Feb the hottest month .
  8. Took a group on a 7 day tour 10 days ago . Last day was Oudtshoorn through Paardepoort then Herholdt down Montague through top of George onto Wilderness. Both Montague Pass and 7 Passes road after Saasveld had Road closed signs but looking a the tracks ample cyclists ride it . Down Montague required a short ..200m ..walk
  9. Keep us posted . Dont know why I want to know about this because it makes me depressed
  10. You omitted $$
  11. Results on their website . Pidcock got his butt kicked
  12. Remember to wear the correct cycling top 😇
  13. Thank you . Great filming brought back lots of ( corrugated) memories .
  14. Thank you this useful. I now also saw the thread that you started . And does the 105 hydraulics work with the XT calipers ?
  15. Thank you for a proper explanation. So replacing the XT rear derailleur with a GRX should do the trick ?
  16. I have a carbon hardtail that I am thinking of converting to a monster cross/ gravel bike. Am running Shimano XT 2 x11 . For sale is a set of Ultegra 2 x 11 hydraulic shifters Will the shifters work with both derailleurs and cassette currently on the bike ? thanks for bike wisdom Arno
  17. What about using a set of proprietary bolts or the age old trick of spoiling the Allen heads and when you need to reverse drill it out
  18. Go to CyclesDirect in Blouberg . Ask for Johan ( my son ) he will gladly let you ride a demo
  19. Very effective is reflective straps around the ankles or right ankle . The movement makes it very visible
