Hey, I've done a search and can't find the answer to my question thus I pose it to the hubbers. I live 5km from work and it annoys the hell out of me that I drive the distance. Leaving the cost of petrol out of this; the cost through wear and tear of starting and "warming" the car on the drive means that it does not reach it's efficient temperature before I have arrived - 7 mins in heavy traffic So the question to those who cycle to work: What do you wear to commute? I have a shower at work and I do at times do a long ride early then head straight to work so naturally I'll be in riding clothes. But those days when I just want to ride to work and back - what does one wear?
I'm in the same boat as you! I am looking at an Mbuzi but think Shova would be ideal. I'm just worried that having a bike similar (Shova) to my Santa Cruz Superlight may create a blurring of the lines. And when I say similar I mean going trail riding with mates stuff, obviously not racing similar.
The top end stuff is good. The rest ... well, I think the cheap components detract from a nice frame. The frames are very heavy in the dual-sus department. As said, the HT are nice. I actually bought one but then didn't get round to building it. Twas super cheap frame and weighed 1.9kg....not bad and yes, maybe a bit much for a HT.
The first Ascent MTB socks are magic! Will never buy a pair of Falke's again for riding. SteveCT, you will like, trust me They are so soft and comfortable.
Do you use a Thule Pro ride 951 roof carrier? Asking because of the friction marks on the down tube at the pivot. Got the same thing happening to my Superlight ...
You should be able to order the bracket from the shop you bought the P7 from. It's the same bracket I use the my M7. It was R70 for the bracket when I bought it 2 weeks ago.
I have the M7 and there is a handlebar mount for it. Solid and doesn't let go. Cars flash their lights at me if i have it in spot mode instead of flood mode. All in all cost me less than R450
Blood VOLUME is replaces with in 48 hours but the red blood cells take longer to be replaced, hence the 52 day period between donations. Of course, I'm not saying it takes 52 days to replace the red blood cells - closer to 2 weeks. As you know, red blood cells contain hemoglobin which transports oxygen ... so you have less oxygen transport taking place thus you struggle doing moderate to high intensity activities. Some people respond differently and I am in the boat with you! You should be back to normal after about a week of rest.
Yea, been in a good couple of times. I like what I've seen so far. Puzzled as to why there are so many entry level bikes with V-brakes. Or are those for the kids? Would maybe be a plan to have some Trek FR/AM bikes besides the trail orientated Fuel range. Cascades does have an awesome DH track you know. I was expecting a little more variety to be honest. What is there is with out a question good quality. A little something different.
SC Superlight Front: Maxxis Aspen = 1.6 bar Rear: Kenda SB8 = 1.8 bar Rider = 61kg Run them on Stans 355's. On occasion, I've run them at 1.2 bar for smooth rocky climbs. I've dinged one rim but that was not a full perpendicular impact. Caught some building rubble side on.
Hey all, For all those who frequent the Cascades trails in PMB beware. Yesterday men attempted to bike-jack/mug two guys riding in the early morning. The area to be aware of is up and to the right of the two table tops, above Muswell Hill and in the Stargazers vicinity. It's that "Christams shopping" time of the year again so please be careful. This area has been very safe for a number of years but alas, not for much longer.
Calling all knowledgeable people out there! What model Orbea is this? I have searched the site and the best I can come up with is the LOBULAR. The bike in photo is a 52cm but must have very relaxed geo looking at the gap between the top tube and down tube at the head tube weld. Any guesses would be appreciated.
I've transported a couple of bikes which route cables under the downtube. Just make sure the cables fit the the "V" of the clamp and you'll be smiling.
I wear Cape Storm small shorts and tops, First Ascent small shorts, tops and bibs. I'm 1.72m, waist 29" and weigh 60kg and the small mens bib and top fits me fantastically. Sizing is closer to Cape Storm than First Ascent with FA being slightly bigger cut. Very comfy chamois - on par with the Cape Storm Matrix shorts.
