My question is why?
You can call your bike whatever you want, be it mountain, road, gravel hybrid whatever. It is a bike.
I think it's rad. I don't get this 'line in the sand' attitude. It looks like it would be an incredibly fun bike to ride.
Which is the point? I ride bikes for fun.
Okes were riding full disk wheels with 'fat' tires and drop bars back in the day and were taken apart for destroying the sanctity of cycling.... But from that came mountain bikes.
I mean, I once owned a golf mk1 2 door with a 2L 16 valve turbo shoved under the bonnet. It made no sense BUT geez Louis was it fun to drive
Agree, it's looks awesome.
My wondering is on the events side of things, i.e what bikes are going to be permitted for gravel only events.
Cois you been on my mind this week. Prayers and good vibes going you way. Not sure if you on Facebook but thought of you when the below popped up on my feed

Looks like gravel bikes is going to be the next bubble
Hi Guys,
I own and manage Fasthouse SA.
The gear is pretty standard as sizing goes.
You are welcome to swing past and see what works for you.
watsapp us on 0825570097
or mail fasthouse@mweb.co.za
Where about are you guys based?
I few times I’ve made up a shopping cart on their website (www.fasthouse.co.za), but am a bit worried about sizing. Had a look at their shirts in Mellow Velo at Broadacres, sizing seems a bit small, so need to get back there to try it on first!
The kit looks very nice!
That's what worries me, last time I ordered a shirt online it fit me like a sports bra.
I can see this thread going the same way the epoxied BB thread went..... nowhere
I was able to connect and ride again this morning...guess that's the end of early morning beers and doughnuts
This comes to mind when I read things like this
How much does this "reproductive organ" owe people?
Wow!
I do a lot of business in Kigali and know the terrain well.
Seeing these guys smashing those hills on those single speeds makes me embarrassed.
Had this issue last night.
All sorted today on both laptop and phone
Did you do anything or just wait it out?
Encountering a random issue logging into Zwift today.
When using SA Fibre (webAfrica) I get a "user cannot login" issue. Get this on phone and Apple TV.
If I create a hotspot on my phone I can login and ride fine.
Fulgaz runs fine.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I know there is an issue with the under sea cable, wondering if they stopped traffic seen as gaming while they fix it.
Make sure you have no other device in the room that has Bluetooth enabled.
I had a similar issue and it turned out to be my media box in the same room had blue enabled which was confusing matters.
I only worked this out after many many many f-bombs
Any one ridden at Groenkloof recently? In the nature reserve? A few years back it was a hive of activity in the morning for hikers and cyclists. I havent ridden there since 2016. We also used to enjoy the fountains route down where the Gautrain runs. The last time we rode there security warned that area was not safe. But the actual reserve? any work on the trails and is it safe?
I saw some guys posting Groenkloof pics to the "mountain bike trails south Africa" Facebook group yesterday and asked the same question.
They advised security issues have been resolved.
There was a guy who sold them on bidorbuy but not sure if he still has them, it was a while ago
Definitely look second hand first.
A lot of people buy bikes, do a few rides, discover they don't like it or their wife doesnt like it etc and the bikes sit in the garage.
