And with your hobbit feet you wouldn't even need socks

Nice one up on Dave's insta today https://www.instagram.com/p/B2RRn3fljl-/

Have a look at Lyne's amp 35 rims, or alternatively a wheelset. They're bombproof and the new high engagement hub sounds sweeeeet! https://www.on-lynecomponents.com/collections/wheels/products/amp-35-rim

Correct, just had a look. For me, they blur the line nicely between lighter weight and sturdy rim profile. And they perform really well for their weight.

Hey, I paired up some amp V1s with some maxxis 2.5s my hardtail Enduro bike. They have taken some serious hammering out on the McGregor rocks as well as Table Mountain’s rocky trails and are still running true and strong and feel as solid as the day I first got them!

Rad!

If FNB are behind this, it's sure to be a fantastic event (think Wines2Whales). Cascades single track should provide some entertaining spectating too. Very excited for this event, come on October.

Thanks Fanie.

Hi hubbers. I am looking for some front racks for two touring bikes that are being ridden from Cape Town to the Netherlands. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Tristan

Here's a website that I found particularly informative. CLICK ME

I know "the Lab" isn't known for it's amazingly low prices but they have a special on Trek Gary Fisher 29ers. So you're getting their 60k pro bike for 50k. Which is pretty rad. Here it is: LINK However, you don't need to spend 50 grand to get a top end bike... especially in the HT category.

Also there's this little beauty: http://bikereviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/2011-eddy-merckx-emx-7-limited-edition-21000-road-bike.jpg

IF he wins...

Even if you did install the software with the ANT+ agent your 705 will still connect with the usb cable. As far as I can recall the wireless functionality is only for the various meters and between devices. Not for computer to device connections. Plug the unit in and open the "Device" menu in the menu bar. Then select "recieve from device" to get your data to transfer across. Hope that helps!

So I have got a set of SRAM S30 AL Race wheels and on the Durbanville fun ride I managed to blow one of the front wheel bearings (code and photo to follow). All the grease came out and it was grinding and clicking away until I replaced it two days ago. All seemed fine and dandy until I came down a particularly bad stretch of tarmac on Boyes Drive yesterday and once again there was the clicking and grinding. I haven't looked yet but I'm positive its the same thing. Has anybody heard of this happening before and if so what are the strongest (best) bearings to replace these ones that continue to fail. Wheels have done about 1500kms and I had a set of American Classics that I did 10000kms plus on that never busted a single bearing. Help!

Chris, what's the damage on a Scale 29 Elite? PM me please!

Here's one: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/78689-tacx-flow-trainer/ Exactly the same one as mine... only prob is it's in PTA. Good price tho!

I love this quote especially, "We would take cutting edge technology from motorsport, from aerospace and from the world’s top materials research laboratories and apply them to one of humankind’s most elegant and enduring inventions: the bicycle." ...so freaking awesome!

I was in the London Science Museum last July and got to see it in person! Sooooo freaking awesome! www.factor001.com for the full read-up!

Yeah, the tape will change soon to white! Was giving it a go! Thanks for the comments!
