If you want to make you bike superlight and bankrupt your family garbaruk.com schmolke.com Trickstuff.com Many wheel options but Aivee hubs should help lighten your bike and ensure poverty is permanent I wouldn’t do this to a non xc bike though Or get an ebike, cheaper than those parts and you’ll drop your mates up all hills

Marking MVDP is like trying to isolate Pogacar, not easy - this new crop feel rocks when their teammates get dropped. They just adapt and win anyway i just love the pressure and drama of the tour - The giro is great and maybe my favourite but the Le Tour is pure theatre

The pass is a tough climb and I’ve done it both ways a few times - for a not so light guy I climb ok as I have no option where I live but to up my climbing game - what scares me is doing this monster with 140 odd km in my legs - I go over 100km only a few times a year and generally on a road bike which is faster so this is going to be a test - I plan to ride a 100km once a week from this weekend leading up to around the pot 24th of July which will be my first 100 miler I am capable of 10 hours in the saddle I’ve discovered this year and I can ride 100km 3 days in a row at a non race pace For me this will be a challenge I think so I hope to go and climb it once or twice before race day I am also definitely taking some light walking shoes and will shamelessly change into them and push if I need to

I don’t like to call what I do training but I’m doing the swartberg grand fondo in august and have been riding up a lot of hills lately this hill is 10km from my house and I have serious concerns about my ability to ride swartberg pass with 142km under the belt

I wonder if you can properly ride in them though - I got some fancy looking sneakers and after 20km my feet hurt like hell As a now fully committed gravel biker it’s important I look as far removed from Lycra as possible (which I hide below my checked shirts and shorts these adidas would really complete my look and maybe get back some cred my lack of beard is costing having realised I can’t be fast, I’m focused on being cool some of that wasn’t serious but I would really love a comfy but cool looking set of shoes

But marketed on a gravel bike - I’d love a pair but will my skills I need to be able to walk in them too

Same thing

As usual I see I did half of @Frosty ride although our elevation is usually on par - found a new loop and from my house and this is as flat as it gets - crisp gorgeous garden route day

I have given this a sad face - whilst I commend the couch shot I have been looking forward to this bike in my favourite colour and all I get is one photo ill be expecting more soon

I’m not sure the weather get better for riding a bike than this morning Hoekwil rondevlei wilderness Hoekwil on gravel so smooth I felt like I was cheating

This is a fantastic idea - win win - bikehub can get loot for us talking crappola - I’m in

You have a fine line to tread here - I stay off the toxic threads and nearly quit the hub when I got myself sucked into one A problem for you is that the classifieds drive your business but there is an unquantifiable element of trust in the classifieds section brought about by the community aspect of the hub As a man with problems I use the classifieds a lot but I choose to do this because I know that 99.9 percent of hubbers, even the silent majority are here because this community in which they trust At the end of the day it’s your business and I’m personally mostly interested in the cycling tipocs ps bring back the comments, covid is an alien uprising and short socks and Fanny packs rock

reminds me, need new flannel shirt for cycling - lucky I'm old enough to have them from the grunge era - unluckily those won't fit right now

can I assume you'll be bring me one on your next trip home?

I’ll be that friend

Plus English are not your first language so you weren’t sure

Those bikes look suspiciously like ebikes

Did my wife send you that photo of me ?

I have a ride on mower - put on my headphones and zone out so sorry Jack, I love mowing my lawn

There’s more to SA than white bakkies and bike jacking you know we have loadshedding, state looting, Monopoly money and an incredibly useless vaccine rollout But hey we’ve got great weather

Pyga demo bike, regularly serviced I would assume - all sorted, I have found a fox CTD and a backup - bike is ready to roll this afternoon

Did you see his interview - he fully owned his error - quite self deprecating

Thanks but that’s what I’m trying to get away from

Matthew which one exactly? What year model ? Any chance you kept the box where all the codes are - Is it not knocking at the top - thanks
