    That kerb looks just about right to make a car flip over onto the cyclists cycle lane.

    But in South Africa people can be forced to pay money for nothing, this is why the Guptas are so rich.

    I have done this many times, its a very nice long ride 90-120km. I usually add a loop or 2 on the wannabee trails to add distance. I ride over the railway walkway at the garage on the Spier/Annandale road crossing and then on the quiet tar farm road to Overgaauw, and then I usually ride the longest possible route on the trails. I carry lunch with me and stop at the halfway farm with the MTB water under the trees. I need to do this ride again soon you can join me, I avg like 17-19km/h for this ride.

    This calls for a celebration we agree on something!

    I have always had problems with sore knees, until I started using oval rings. I have never had a sore knee since I switched to oval rings, for both 170 and 175. My personal preference is to use 170 for training and 175 for the event day/race snake tendencies.

    I use both 170 and 175 on mtbs. I find that the 175 is better because on rough terrain the extra torque of the longer crank is nice to have. With the 170 cranks it is more important to be in the correct gear for a higher cadence, with 175 cranks it matters a bit less if the cadence slows down with a sudden increase in gradient. However, Annie Last use 170 cranks and she seems to do very well, so personal preference and riding style/cadence/power to weight ratio is probably a bigger factor. Shorter cranks puts less strain on the knees because of the knee joint angle but the cadence should also be higher than with 175.

    Well done, that does not look easy to ride through, surely there was some skill involved too

    You dont get it, I am just giving truthful valid consumer advice and I am met with sarcasm and disrespect. This has nothing to do with my subjective taste.
