    No way in the world I would like to repair that frame

    Wow

    Going there for my first ever bike fit in Friday, let's see what happens

    That's the reason I gave it a miss this year

    Thanks

    If I enter now is the only way to pick up my entry at the event at 5:30am?

    Maybe the lower the pressures are more prone to tyres cutting. I always run my tyres at 95 psi. I wouldn't dare run them at lower than 80 psi for fear they would unseat at 80km/h down Kloof Nek!

    Clarkson is just an attention seeking little tart

    I've said it many times before. Go get some Schwalbe Pro Ones and some Orange Sealant and forget your frustrations and punctures. I had them for a year and a half on American Classic Victory 30's and since December on my SLR Giant wheels. I need to check the spare inner tube that I carry because it has been folded up in my tool bag for more than 2 years now

    How many times have you stopped to fix a puncture on the side of the road? I also carry a spare tube but haven't used it in over 2 years. I one had 3 punctures in one day but just kept on riding because it sealed up.

    I tried Stans when I ran out of Orange Seal and you're right, it only holds air up to 40psi. I'm back to Orange and it's fantastic. I left home a couple of weeks ago in the dark, as it got light I noticed sealant all over the rear of the bike. I didn't even notice I had a puncture and my tyre maybe dropped 5 psi down to 90psi. The biggest difference is the clean up process. Getting Stans off is a nightmare. Orange Seal comes off easily just by wiping it off with your finger in 2/3 minutes.

    I take a spare tube, a tiny mini pump, valve adapter so you can use a petrol station pump if nearby, tyre lever and a couple of patches and glue... Oh, and a MyCiti bus pass!

    My good friend in the UK says he and 20 of his riding group rode the whole UK winter with Pirelli Cinturatos. 290grams a tyre but nobody stopped to put an inner tube in since October last year.

    You guys are hardcore. I wanted to come but at 3am there was an almighty downpour in town so I went back to bed

    I also commute. I'm still using my tried and tested orange seal with the schwalbe Pro ones. In one day I had a thorn, a staple and an earing in my front tyre. Stopped, pulled them out, sealed instantly and kept riding. I bought a TCR which came with the lighter Gavia tyres. The sealant from Giant (Sludge) wouldn't hold air over 35psi

    I've been looking at some ebike reviews on YouTube and it looks like a lot of fun. I'm not interested in an assisted road bike but it looks great for riding MTB

    Was that around misty cliffs? The medics were doing cpr on the side of the road. Didn't look good, pray he made it.

    AMEN TO NUMBER 4
  19. Andreas_187
    LOL

    Don't know why there is so much negativity, windguru says not much wind on sunday
  21. Andreas_187
    As a rough guesstimate, what would groups would be looking to do a sub 3h? 1A to 1F?
  22. Andreas_187
    That's bad luck. I heard a PING next to me on the start line 60 seconds we started the Stellies race,a guy's spoke decided it had had enough
  23. Andreas_187
    Th cycle lane on lower main out of town has kinda just disappeared and had been painted black in many places. The one into town is just a liability. It was never thought out by somebody who actually cycles
  24. Andreas_187
    Because people know they'll have no chance of improving their times from last year. What's the chance of such perfect weather 2 years in a row?
