    i suppose another option would be to just build a monster-cross from a 29er hardtail...
  2. Myth
    Let me know your impressions of it please!

    Thanks guys, all pretty solid replies. Really liking most of what I see... I guess my beef with mechanical disks are not about stopping power or coolness factor, but rather ease of setup. In the past I have always struggled in getting them set up properly with no brake rub (which seem to be easier for me to get right with hydro’s). Now this is from experience many years ago, could be that mechanicals have gotten better and this in now less of an issue? Perhaps getting the mechanical to hydraulic converters could also be a good workaround.

    Yup, had a look at it yesterday, does look like a good option.

    Oh yes, that's the other one I saw that i forgot to list...thanks.

    L or 56 depending on how they define their sizes. Or rather, whatever 1.83m makes me in the specific brand as they all differ a bit.

    Hi, I am looking getting a gravel bike and have been researching the interwebs for the last month or so. There seems to be very little choice available in South Africa wrt Gravel bikes. Also, most international sites (in fact ALL international sites I have looked at!) do not seem to ship full bikes, so sourcing from oversees also do not seem like an option. Let me also say, I am looking for a Gravel bike and not a cyclocross bike as I want the slightly more relaxed geometry a gravel bike offers, and I definitely want Hydraulic discs not mechanical or anything cantilever... I am looking to spend around R30k. In terms of locally, the only ones I have been able to find are: - Cannondale Slate (too expensive and I don't think its worth paying as much for only 30mm of travel) - Cannondale CaadX and SuperX (really more Cyclocross bikes than gravel bikes I think, also most of the affordable models have mechanical discs, and I'm not a fan of mechanical disks) - Scott Speedster 10 Gravel (looks like a nice option, comes with Hydro disk brakes for a really nice price) - Spaz Diverge and Seqoia (expensive for what you get, SA also seems a bit limited in terms of the specific models we get. Most of the affordable models also come with mechanical discs - meh) - Trek Crockett 5 (also mechanical disks...) - GT Grade various models (looks pretty good value, but usually out of stock everywhere!) So my question, what gravel bikes does the Bikehub community own and where did you get it from?

    I tried using sealant in my road bike tubes a while back, and unfortunately for me it wasn't a very successful affair. In essence, I piped Stans into them by removing the valve-cores. I got a small puncture on a ride after that and unfortunately the tyre was completely flat long before the sealant closed the hole. I would be interested however to see what the hub comes up with as I definitely also do want a solution to the serious amount of flats that I get on my road bike.

    jeez...that revs me up...

    Best of luck!

    I have the 7000e. Amazing road bike, super comfortable for an aero bike and, as others have mentioned, great value for money...

    I saw the same thing this holiday when I was at the West Coast. Being used to the no helmet = no ride policy we have here in Gauteng, I asked a few guys about this, and they got aggressive immediately. Strange how people in South Africa that act wrongly are usually the first to go on attack when confronted.

    Jackes, I used to use Glycerins (13 and 14). They are quite comfy and a good fit to me, I also fitted them and Ghosts back then and they fit better than the Ghosts, but what I have found is that I don't get more than 500km's on them then the cushioning start to diminish and also they start to rub me on my big toe (I have two pairs and they both did the same). Really a pity as they are super comfy for the first couple of hundred km's, but way too expensive to only get 500 km's on. I switched to Nike Vomero's from them and am happy with them so far. Hoping to get a bit more km's out of them than the Brooks.

    Some say Foreshore Freeway Bridge, also known as Cape Town's Unfinished Bridge, was built so the Muishond can practice his drop-offs...going backwards...on his rigid.

    he keeps a bottle of energy drink so his bike can keep itself hydrated from the exertion of it hanging onto him.
  22. Myth
    Some say he doesn't use a seat or seat post, he merely "cleats" onto his bike frame.

    Sept 3 looks like it can work for me and a mate...
  24. Myth
    Urgh, first open date I have is 27th if that works for enough other people and you Peach?
  25. Myth
    Hi Peach, when are you planning on doing the next intermediate skills clinic in Gauteng?
