Pikey Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 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 senseI know i’m not hip or funny my kids tell me all the time . And you right nsbb sounds like an old man,tsk tsk oom ???? Wayne pudding Mol and NotSoBigBen 2

ChrisF Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Without any effort at all...And thats the nice part of the ebike .... I have the freedom to choose ... Kept it in Eco mode all the way too Houtbay. Knowing it would be a short ride I went for a harder workout, and a higher hart rate. Past the "tunnel" the climb and the wind had me working properly ... Coming back the afternoon traffic picked up ... now I used the assist, and kept the speed at 25 to 30km/h. Incidentally, spinning away like this results in a good hart rate, while protecting buggered knees ... Super nice that ebikes allows more cyclists to enjoy these routes.

CdT85 Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Went for a quick spin up Helderberg tonight. Lack of daylight and fitness meant this was as high as I go. Managed to kill my rear tyre halfway down the mountain also. Edited October 13, 2020 by CharldT DJR, henningvr, TyronLab and 5 others 8
The Ghost Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 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[emoji33] that’s a lot of money just to pour down your throat.Ouch! Eddy Gordo 1
Frosty Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Every time I see that Ritchey I want oneDittoI can say the same for a few bikes on this thread too.
TyronLab Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) [emoji33] that’s a lot of money just to pour down your throat.Ouch! If you're a beer connoisseur then its much of a muchness. Ask me to pay R50 for a Castle draught and I'll hesitantly accept. Ask me to pay R50 for a Skeleton Coast or a Camelthorne Bock and I'll give you R100 as I'm most definitely having two. If you drink beer to get drunk, there are cheaper and more efficient ways of achieving that. If you drink beer because you love the taste of beer, its all relative. EDIT: Thanks for making me lus for a beer at 08:30 in the morning at work, chop! Edited October 14, 2020 by TyronLab Chris_, MTBeer, CdT85 and 3 others 6

Frosty Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Like different types of bikes, there’s a time and a place for both a coffee and a beer... as well as an ice-cold Coke. ChrisF, Hairy and Wayne pudding Mol 3
