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
Scientifically proven that every red part on your bike increases speed and ability by at least 10%.
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
Cheeky Corners at Contermans has lots of switchbacks, some easy and some not so easy. That would be a good place to do them over and over.
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!

Have they sorted out the creak in those E-thirteens yet
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

Will upload pics later....
I hate this as well as the "whats app me for pics"
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.
Best option would be to get another mountain bike

I ordered my Absolute Black ovals (32t and 34t ) through Evo Bikes and had absolute fantastic service. As always.
Snap, also got my Absolute Black oval 32t from Evo. Great service and free courier, got it the next day.
Tried and tested on my wife's tri bikes. Used to just do plain Joe's, but added the glitter after some sealing issues at the high pressure. Works like a charm now.
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.

Hi. I fitted the Forca dropper post. It cost fitted 2k. It really works well. I had the opportunity to test it properly today and must say it works well. I would prefer the handlebar leaver to be on the left but can't as I have a Scott lock out on left already. This became tricky on downhill breaking rear and trying to push the leaver at the same time. I chose this dropper post as it came in a 31.6 size and needed no shims. I heard there is no shims that works perfect every time..

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????
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?
This is what us roadies legs look like so you can unerstand the problem we are facing!
????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
