Where did you find the pedals?

They look like one sided road pedals that work with a mtb cleat. I had quite a lot of trouble finding those for my last project. They used to be commonplace, but have become scarce.

Hi DJR, those are VP pedals, not sure who the importers/agents are, but I know my LBS stock them.

 

Let me know if you want there details.

Technically this is a purchase-someone had to buy steel and welding rods, at some point...

 

Longer rides where becoming an issue with being able to carry enough water; and a Camelback was the next best thing to this

 

I'll make whoever gives me two matching bottle cages one as well

At the beginning of November of our security fellas banned me from riding my bike out of camp  - as I have done for almost 6 years 4 times a week. (They had intelligence of a security threat, something that materialised bigly this week)

 

So, I ordered a Spinning Bike from SA which arrived two weeks ago when I got back from R&R

 

At a visit to my GP during my R&R, I mentioned that my plan was to use it for a lot of  interval type training, so my GP prescribed Joe Friel's book " Fast after 50" for me.

 

Joe Friel swears by using power and not heart rate only for setting training zones, so I closed my eyes, opened my wallet and ordered some Garmin Vector 2 Power pedals.

Wheels upgraded on my Bianchi, stoked with how good the black rims make it look.

Boet, please put your brake levers back.

They're back    photo was taken with the seller's tyres and shimano casette still on so the wheels still had to come off.

just bought this last week - not had a chance to ride it yet - gulp! - but since I already own an older (26'er Epic), i cannot wait to try it out!

if you want to keep your bottles, get yourself lezyne flow cages.

They stay in really well actually; bottles didn't once budge, and the mount itself doesn't flex a bit

Spyker op die kop daar Fanie.

Lezyne flow is the duck's nuts

Received my American Classic 420 Aero 3 wheelset today.

They look well made and are relatively light. Not sure how I feel about the colour scheme but nothing a set of decals can't fix.

oooooooooh!

 

Report, sir!

grip seems ridiculous so far!

Clearance though - but the high volume 2.5 is the limit for the Pike. Have about 3 - 5mm clearance.  Will check the Mattoc, guessing I'll have more clearance on there.
