Switchbacksports have tan and black in 650b Panaracer in stock

Anyone who has done this with as little tar as possible. Suitable for gravel bikes . Am out of my comfortable route knowledge in this area . Thank you Arno

Great work there

I am also 1.78 and have been riding M frames for ages . Recently I test rode a L framed bike that I worked on and was very comfortable on it . Just saying. Maybe do the same before you miss out on that Niner

Is Sauser’s cycling project still going in Kyamandi/Stellenbosch ? surely there must be some intel about who is buying ? Like the Scalpel that was taken last week not an easy bike to hide

Thank you for all the useful input . @MORNE I think you put your finger on the nail the bar is now 20 mm higher which explains the very different feel

I bought a DTSwiss fork F 232 on Bikehub to fit on my own Tallboy . Reason been wanted a bit longer steerer tube and save weight . Fitted the fork and was disappointed as now the front was very skittish. Then did my homework and saw that those forks come in 44mm and 51 mm offset . I suspect that I bought the 44mm version. Two questions: does that difference in offset really make that big difference in steering feel ? and To counter that is a longer stem the way to go ? Admit that I must still set up the fork properly. thanks

And a helmet

Hy is behoorlik die moer in

This . Cut the steerer halfway and insert and glue in die middle

Spoke to a farmer on the Floriskraal road this morning. No locked gates at the moment . Some signs to say you need permission to go through . Just to discourage unwanted “ travelers “ . It is a public road . I advised @ollyinnes

Both Weltevrede road and Magrieta Prinsloo have dead ends …unless you do some difficult bundu bashing . The way to go is out on the tar road then left . Last time I was there about 22 gates . Due to sheep theft some farmers are locking gates though it is a public road . Wapp me I will get the number of a farmer on that road . Arno zero83three959zero38

As long as you stick to the truth that is not defamation

True . On my 4th one .But if you know the right people they ..the Lefty’s …can go on for a long time

When I get comments on my Lefty fork I respond by saying am still saving for the other half
