Fat Boab

Many thanks to those who gave their wisdom and knowledge. To those who suggested the root cause was...headset. Well it was loose but not the cause. Chain-rings? Could have been tighter but also not root cause. Saddle? Bingo! Just enough lack of tension in the seat post bolts to allow the saddle to creak. Many thanks again...long live BikeHub!

Hang on okes...headset felt loose (swore I checked that already...) so have tweaked. Test ride later this arvie...will feedback. PS road bike!

Seated or standing. And any gear or perceived torque, unless I pedal very gently, then the noise goes away.

I have one of those annoying noises which I think is BB related. Diagnosis so far include: 1. I've spun the cranks by hand, with the chain removed to check for dead-spots, grinding etc. Nothing. 2. Pushed and pulled the pedals laterally across the frame to look for play. Nothing. 3. Pulled the cranks and checked the bearings for lateral play with my fingers. Nothing. Before a trip to my LBS, what else could I check? Thanks in advance for the help...

I don't have SRAM so can't give a specific answer but when I was looking to fit 9/10 speed shimano to (ironically) my X, Google had lots of articles on compatability of components. Worth a search?

33 kg in a year???

Endura Xtract roubaix l/s jersey is very good. Cycle lab used to stock. Base Layer, Endura and perhaps a gilet and the cradle is a happier place in winter.

Very smart looking X. Not as smart as mine though...????

My bars are subtly flared at 12.5 degs I think. That gives me 46cm between the hoods yet 52cm between the tips of the bar ends. I've found that the best of both worlds, road-like on the hoods yet a little more open in the shoulders in the drops. Also very useful for clearance for a bar bag or roll bag.

I doubt my 30 sec power matches her 1 hour...????

You mean Lance Gunderson? America the melting pot...

Ta muchly. More to this power mularky than meets the eye! One day, when I'm big perhaps...

I'm intrigued and confused...what would make a hill physiologically easier for you (lower %hr) when generating the same %FTP? Are you saying that one would get differing values of FTP on the flat vs a hill for instance? If so, why would that be? Any thoughts? Or have I the wrong end of the stick?

The vegan-friendly status starts to be eroded if certain processing aids are used e.g. gelatin and isinglass. Some would argue that as yeast is a single-celled organism that its use in brewing is non-vegan but it's a weak argument.

Your nearest bikeshop is the place to start...

Perhaps pop up the road and look at what Zest are doing with signage and their offering and SWOT them? As you say, a lot of local places have earned their stripes but perhaps ponder why some failed (to avoid those attributes)?

I think one issue here is expectation...the OP's been a BH member for around 2 weeks added to their use of the phrase 'help from experts'. It's the hub...we're all experts!! But seriously, if the OP's quest is how to market their offering rather than develop their offering - the intent of the original post, I think, then market the potential clients riding or driving past the end of your road? Signs on the road. Flyers on cars parking at BA. Isn't it that simple initially? Beyond that a SWOT analysis will give further food for thought, but caveat emptor, as an open mind is required...

...at the end of the nut?

BeeRad: tried to send a PM but it failed. I have Ortlieb panniers and a handlebar bag for sale if you're interested. PM if so?

Second this. I got a custom handlebar bag made and the price and quality was right!

The OP has the fork...he wants to see his money.

Forgiven. Now stop wasting bandwidth with text and post images! ????

Friends of Suikerbosrand on Facebook suggest R40 per adult and R30 per car as of yesterday.

Farr...sorry, Fara out!????
