I believe NSquared is the local agent for Rocky Mountain now. Maybe give them a try

If they are, that would be news to me.  Cycle Mobile in Pta is a parts distributor but as far as I know there is no "Agent" in South Africa.

I will check out NSquared though, maybe I'm pleasantly surprised ....

Welcome back to the steel on gravel club! Sequoias are awesome. 

Oh, and don't go with Ramblers - they're the worst, least durable tyres I've used. Rather go with the Cinturatos or size down to 43mm with Gravel King SKs.

Thanks! It's good to be back. I never really left (I had a Rook Scout single speed as my second bike for a while), but I'm back in with both feet now. Hell, my moustache even plumped up by itself as I drove home with it!

Better pull those flannel shirts out of the laundry!

Congrats Many happy miles!

My wife is slightly regretting her decision to jump the gun and get the XC40 T5 and not wait for the Recharge or C40... although those are about another $15k on what she paid.

Maybe a Polestar 3 for her, if she wins the lotto, haha!

Ta.  Saw my first C40 last week. Looks more attractive than the XC40, but possibly less U in the whole SUV equation with the coupe style roof line. The petrol XC40's here are retaining really high second hand values - so maybe its not too late to change.  I now understand the smugness of some EV owners - when in  good weather I just top up the electron tank from the sun - that's (near) priceless.

My first gravel/touring bike.

My wife is still processing the new arrival, so no couch photo at this time.😁

Not sure if this should be here or The toolbox thread 

[SEANSTEP]

That a hanger alignment tool? Mmm, always wanted to know someone who had one of those!😂😉

One of the most useful tools out there! Definitely a must have for anybody who works on bikes IMO and IME

Every time I have to set someone's gears after they have had a fall, I always check the hanger. Also you eventually are able to quickly tell when the problem is hanger alignment or cable tension etc. 

Congrats on the new tool and good luck getting your shifting 100% dialed in.

I'm blessed, new baby.

Because I just signed up for this (a 600km / 4 day bikepacking race in Sweden):

I need these to get out on my bike in -5 degree weather to get some training in:

(or at least that's how I justify it all to myself)
