Hairy Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 A beer costs R32 these days?[emoji58]That would be a craft beer made on site of a awesome MTB trail, and not some crappy SAB beer! Chris_, MTBeer, Wayne pudding Mol and 1 other 4
fanievb Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 A beer costs R32 these days?[emoji58] even if it's R80 it's stil a bargain when enjoyed with lekker mates Escapee.., DJR, Hairy and 3 others 6
MTBeer Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 A beer costs R32 these days?[emoji58]actually most craft beers cost between R45 and R50 for 500ml. This one was R32 for 350ml. As Fanievb said, well worth it after a long hot ride DJR 1
Pikey Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Flared and really wide, 540 on the hoods and 640 in the drops. The reason I believe is comfort for longer rides. What I have noticed that in almost any position my wrists are straight which is great for circulation. Riding in the drops is also way more comfortable than in the drops on my road bike. Obviously less aero but not a factor on a gravel bikeAm so used to my flared bars now I don’t think I could go back to standard bars. Took a few rides, but you were so right Wayne ????????

RustyHWR Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Am so used to my flared bars now I don’t think I could go back to standard bars. Took a few rides, but you were so right Wayne I hardly ever uses my hoods. Much more control in the drops and also it takes out some vibrations on corrugation. I also know when i had too much beer the weekend when it gets difficult to reach the drops. If you do gravel packing/touring the flares gives you more space between the drops when using a handlebar roll. Wayne pudding Mol and Pikey 2

As for packing/ touring not sure I will get there,although if it’s staying in b&b etc then i’m In. RustyHWR and Wayne pudding Mol 2

TNT1 Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Today my bike inadvertently took me to a comedy show. I needed to replace the DRL bulbs in my Peugeot - naturally a dealer only item.So I pop in during my ride. R2900.00 for the pair. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. Now off to google and find a sane solution somewhere. Pikey and Hairy 2

Patchelicious Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 With the winter, the "dukwiel" as I its suppsoedly is called has come out.Lovely discovering new parts of otherwise well known to me parks. Richmond has a 14km gravel loop, how cool: Then who needs enemies when your friends to this to your pics.... Beattbox, henningvr, WrightJnr and 10 others 13

Wayne pudding Mol Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) They still look crap though [emoji12]you guys (NSBB and Pikey) sound like old men complaining about young peoples music or like those old people shouting at their phones. Flared bars are cool guys and you know they are functional, take it from a hip young gravel biker like me EDIT**you two remind me of my local LBS who told me the 29ers won't catch on and 1x made no sense Edited October 13, 2020 by Waynemol Pikey, Hairy, NotSoBigBen and 1 other 4
