VincentHolloway Posted October 5, 2022 Share Nino Schurter has won the world championship in men's cross-country 10 times so far. He also rides eBikes. So one day when I am big and can afford it, I will swop out my Scott Spark 970 for one of these 👍 aiyaaz, ChrisF, MORNE and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much you can take from that. Hardly independent choice Thin Al, ChrisF and MORNE 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can any respectable roadie have a MTB on your wheel? Ebikers banned from the mountain. MTB banned from the road.. Road cyclist banned from the cradle. And all lycra banned from the sport ...

Rode Around the Pot this year in my bibs (only my bibs with my weatherproof top)....still had mud in my crack halfway in..pretty sure everyone did at some stage. So they are not 'ingress proof'. ask all the omo foamo's you pass in a wet race haha. And most days i ride with my bib under whatever i choose, because they tend to stay in one place over a long ride better. If you shave your crack the mud doesn't tend to stick as much But I suppose waxers nd shavers should be banned from the mountain as well MORNE and TheoG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravel bikes are essentially 1990's mountain bikes .... they belong with the 26ers and suspension stems. - Might as well ban them with the rest of those shaved leg strava hunters. Who have I left out ? I think the only real riders are Trials riders ... now that's proper skill.... hippedy hoppedy over rocks and ledges. Edited October 5, 2022 by DuncanDoughnuts removed the sentence "Anyone can juice up and win a Time trial or a stage on the epic" as not top upset any juiced up lycra wearing XC and road racing hubbers MORNE and ChrisF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every so often the day is wrapped up with a detour including some trails ..... in shorts and T-shirt. NO thank you !! No way I want to ride single tracks in such loose clothing .... Cycling clothes, aka lycra, is one of the most practical evolutions. Nooit bru - lycra is great for under shorts with padding but a decent set of trail shorts - update: they're not that baggy and neither are the tops - ain't never going to hinder your ride. Most SA cyclists ride like roadies anyway - not the most dynamic bunch on a bike but at least they could look a bit more stylish out there on the trails.
