  1. I watch at Tiz cycling . It’s free
  2. Just my experience on old vs new after owning and running a tiny shop in the sticks for 8 years. If you are visiting, touring through or doing Freedom Challenge and is using older tech we make plans to keep you going if having a mechanical. If on electronics you wait for the courier to deliver.
  3. There is . Shimano GRX 400
  4. Not sure what you are looking for ? you say no bikepacking but want a bike that can carry weight? I have build a touring bike for a customer from scratch so if you are more specific I may be able to offer a few tips
  5. In my humble view a gravel being bike being more road bike than mtb 2 x is the solution . I find the GRX 46/30 with 11-34 on my Topstone perfect . 2 x 10 being as inexpensive as bicycle parts can get
  6. Don’t move to Prince Albert allready too many people here to my liking đŸ˜‡
  7. Were you on a Revolt ? Saw you on Saturday morning riding back to town
  8. No . No tracks . We just ride the dirt roads . We have a local who is trying to build a track between running a guest house and a restaurant. The rest of us are old geezers who are just trying to stay upright.
  9. Thank you enjoying all the feedback and views.
  10. As someone who started the wonderful life of being a cyclist some 36 years ago and obviously then on a road bike my passion for road bikes and road riding still exceeds the one for mountain bikes. First forced to switch to mountain biking for road safety reasons when I lived in cities and now because of where I live I find the looks of a combination of the two ( gravel bikes ) very sexy . So browsing through the adds for gravel bikes this morning just looking ..I have one .. and seeing the number of really nice gravel bikes for sale made me wonder why are these bikes for sale . Are guys upgrading or disillusioned with what they found riding gravel riding to be ? Looking forward to some responses. Arno
  11. Ruan Smit 082 569 7634

  14. Any experience with buying online from Temu ? thank you
  15. Kudus to Linus van Onselen 71 years old doing 2 hrs 57 and so doing completing 35 tours with 30 sub 3’s .
  16. This from a 76 year old who has been cycling for almost 40 years . postpone the scan and do another test in 3 or 4 months time . Lots of factors influencing the count . scan will be inconclusive and then you will be sent for a biopsy . pse levels go up with age but it is your health your decision
  17. Paul Furbank is nie van hier nie .. accomplished rider
  18. Man would I love to be part of the party knocking on that drivers front door returning his mirror to him .
  19. Pog had Wellens in the bunch who closed down all the attacks until about 10 km to go .
  20. Exactly my feeling when I read this
  21. 45c tyres and 2 x on your Scalpel
  22. As a small shop it is difficult to buy from importers but have been lucky the last 6 years to get Maxxis which I used myself ( Recon Race ) and supplied my customers all happy. But when my supplier ran out of stock I got hold of some Vittoria stock running Mezcal on my Scalpel and am very happy with them . Low resistance light and hard wearing
  23. What happened to him is part of racing . Watch with him some pro racing . It happens there as well . I think he has learned , the fact that he tried to be right behind the seeded riders shows he has what it takes . But I tell the youngsters from the township that I mentor it is better to make up that half a meter gap a bit later than catching up right from the back.
  24. You need permission to cross private property ( Bosluyskloof) on your way to the ladder and then once again at the bottom over private property until you reach nature conservation property
