  1. That kerb looks just about right to make a car flip over onto the cyclists cycle lane.
  2. 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.
  3. This calls for a celebration we agree on something!
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Well done, that does not look easy to ride through, surely there was some skill involved too
  7. I don`t think so this is very good publicity
  8. Oh no the bikehub gif squad is on to me, time to get the hell outa here!
  9. 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.
  10. Dumbass cant handle the truth
  11. Sarcastic `Mkay makes for a dumbass
  12. The Sesta for the price is in a class of its own, one the best bikes out there for less than anything else. It is a magnificent bike and by looking at all the Sestas popping up on local tracks and xc events, it has definitely put SB back on the map.
  13. This is the free western world with free western interweb social media where we are free to criticize the personal lives of these "so-called celebrities". If you are a so-called "celebrity" you know that every aspect of your social life will be put a silver platter for public online scrutinization and therefor I will feel free to comment on any "so-called celebrity" personal stuff. If you want to be a tall tree then know that I will comment on any aspect of your life including failures - this is the main pastime of the western world now suddenly you come here and say : "Oh no you are not allowed!"
  14. Actually no it wont for R140k. Spez online police scan the entire web for any references to actual weight and deletes it, thats where the expensive servicing money goes. Spez bike weights is top secret for some reason...
  15. The Epic platform is due for an upgrade, as well as con 1 - deal breaker for me at this high a price.

  17. Now if it was only possible to buy these bibs in medium or large, then maybe we 90% of the market can also experience the comfort. Been waiting 6 months but no new medium or large stock so I have stopped holding my breath.
