    Who is N1NO, I must have missed his rampage run? And what on earth is a bar-end, can't seem to find any on the YT website? (Ps, I don't know how to do italics on my phone)

    Seatbag? Remember Preasan, not all advice is good advice [emoji6]

    Take prepsol and use a paint brush to apply it to the chain, cluster and chainring. Let it soak in and then rinse it off. Should be blinging clean after that. Applying it with a paint brush lets you keep it away from the BB and other bearings

    Dang, nothing on my bike is red ☹️ Will i get the same effect if I ride with a red shirt?

    Best thing would be to borrow a set of clipless pedals and shoes from someone and try them on some really chilled rides first. If / when you feeling comfortable and can get unclipped fast try them on some rowdier trails and just see if you like it. Some people swear by them, some hate them. All about preference. For me it's flats all the way but it could well be clipless for the win for you

    I second this suggestion as once you get to the bottom you can push back up the kloof section and repeat cheekies

    Isn't it customary to have the bike on the couch when you take the pic? In all seriousness though, nice bike. Ride hard and enjoy!

    Apparently they have, if you have an older one you can get a kit with like a special washer or something and the newer ones come pre-fitted with it

    Thought this was going to be the Friday thread for sure but it's over already… Not quite sure if I'm happy it's sorted or if I'm sad it's over

    Thought I'd just chime in to get my post count up. Need to get to 1000 so next time I want to sell / buy people won't tell me to 'tsek.

    Snap, also got my Absolute Black oval 32t from Evo. Great service and free courier, got it the next day.

    Nice, good to hear some real world results with this!

    I saw a YouTube video of a guy that put a bit of glitter in with the stans to make it a bit "thicker" and to help seal slightly larger punctures. Haven't tried it myself but maybe worth a go. If it doesn't work at least it will be prettier when your tyre spews it out all over you and the bike.

    She sleeps in my lounge with a view of Table Mountain to help her relax

    That's an easy fix, switch the brakes around so the back is on the left. Way better, in my opinion anyway. Is the lockout for the fork? If it is might as well get rid of that while you at it????

    I ride with flats and have a 32t oval ring with no problems. The first ride going from round felt weird but I would imagine it would with cleats as well. From there it has been smooth sailing and I don't even notice I'm riding with an oval. So yeah, I say go for it!

    Yes, do it bro! I've got the giant 125mm dropper on my hardtail and it has been flawless so far and comes with a 2yr warranty which is rad but if you have a 31.6 seat post I reckon go with the Lynne. I have only heard good things and while having a shim isn't the worst thing, no shim is better than shim.

    Last night I could see the flames from Blouberg and the smoke was bellowing out and being blown over the ocean. This morning I can't see any smoke, anyone know if the fire is out?

    ????Jeepers Yeah, I can now see the struggle! ????????

    Sorry, short thread hijack here. I have been MTB'ing for a short 2 years now and reading this thread has blown my mind. By hitting a cat-eye at speed can you really expect to end the life of your R50k+ road bike or is this rather an isolated incident combined with the impact of the leg to the toptube? Has this happened to other riders you guys personally know and at what flipping speed are you guys going at for this to happen? As someone with 0% road bike knowledge I am genuinely interested
