What a load of horses**t… Couldn’t help myself. Sorry (not sorry)

If they have stock….3 working days max across the country. More than that and I start chasing and being a thorn. I blame the good stores I deal with regularly for these high expectations 😅 Local to your city store = same or next day depending on when you ordered. At least here in CT. 11 days is obscene. I order stuff from us, europe, uk or oz and get it within 5 using DHL or UPS. There are slackers locally…So vote with your wallet.

Came here looking for this comment… Edit: not to mention that 2.2 tyres on 30mm ish rims will inflate pretty square and probably feel weird. Also, If you are going by feel…you’re likely running the narrower tyres harder…

Then there are guys riding around tygerberm on 2KW modified e-bikes that can quite literally wheelspin aeay from a stop and they are proud to tell/and show you too.

Thanks, now everyone knows what i know…that im average at best😁 But someone else said something this week that resonated with me after my crash, you cant ded this hard riding slow steep tech….but going mach3 on a flow trail ( where most e-bikes live) and crashing will almost always result in serious injury. Tangent - more proof that if you feel a trail is too easy…go faster, because the consequences will grow exponentially.

Sure thing! Look, i was not looking to question your skills as a mechanic and I obviously hit a bit of a nerve claiming what you do for a living (assuming) isn't ‘that hard’. Sorry, and im glad you are passionate about it. I get it, i would too. All i’m saying is, bicycles are not that complicated (to me) and not EVERY home spanner is a complete and useless noob to mechanical or electrical systems. There are people out there, on here, who design, build and take apart way more complicated things for a living. 💪🙌

Like the old lyne ones…

‘Some home mech’ would not even know how to get to a pawl in a hub. a home spanner who knows a thing or three though would probably not even own these in the first place. Bicycles are basic, simple machines. I own more complicated lego sets😇

You must be new here?🤣 i got about 5 of these last week alone.

How many of you have seen these delivery ebikes on the N1 in the yellow lane? (In CT) Something will be happening soon enough. They wont leave it free for all…and those e-delivery things will be the reason. Whether or not your R300k turbo Levo ends up as collateral will probably be an unfortunate secondary effect..unless you could prove you use it ‘offroad’ like a MX bike i guess?

if everyone who reaches for the “marvellous free market” or “glorious capitalism” memes - could please do so in a less communist way…that’d be great thanks😇😁

Swipe, swipe, click….ignore. Bye now.😉

Sorry, did you say FRONT freehub? I am now intrigued🧐

Ive been a long time enduro seal user. But since this My-cycle-life points thing nets you credit at cwc/cycle lab…ive been going there to fetch me some ‘free’ Stans every few months. Its all they have worth getting (except that expensive pink unicorn pee that is Muckoff) So this past weekend i was cruising along with a friend and we were discussing how long its actually been since our last punctures and whether it was actually needed to top up after that initial seal (gravity tyres dont see many holes). I recently fitted new tyres so i was 150ml in on both wheels. Well, Murphy was obviously hiding in the bushes…because i nice neat cut between the blocks meant it was now raining Stans sealant every rotation of the wheel. And thats as far as it went…stans all over my frame all the way down the trail. That watery crap takes forever to plug a hole. I wont be bartering for it again… i’ll go buy an enduro seal 5L instead.

To be fair, Theo would probably make the sharp end of the epic field, look similarly ‘silly’ down those trails. 😅 Most people, wouldn't even attempt the stuff these guys get up to most weekends, minaar included (he’s on video saying as much - at the hardline road gap…it’s an absolute chasm) i think when you are like these guys and actually closer to being a ‘pilot’ than a cyclist most weekends…its easy to make mere mortals look l like absolute peasants down a mildly techie trail thats actually so far below your pay grade…you can send it on a bmx while hardly touching the ground.
