Where has your bike taken you today?

It all started out so well, then the repeated front wash out feeling and the puncture you can never find.

second strip of the wheel - chuck it in the pool, half the nipples are leaking air. Apparently squirt sealant and mavic rims make more electricity than eskom.

still working through just how thrilled about this outcome I am, low mileage wheels et too for extra pain 😡

Had the same problem with two Mavic rims.  Took it to Knipe Racing in Durbanville who use some type of resin to seal the holes, drill new valve holes, add rim tape and I had two brand new rims.   Maybe there is a bike shop around where you are that can do the same for you?

Only want to fit in two bikes as we will be touring in it . I wanted to make sure that if necessary we could sleep in it even with the bikes stored inside

could probably fit at least 6 bikes with reasonable spacing

did not have my drivers license so will have to go back for a test drive

There is quite a bit you can do with those. Camper with bike transport and a mini workshop!

That's a freaking great idea. Two roadies and 2 dirties under your bed - the fridge slide-type setup makes is user friendly too! Cool!

Couple of nice MTB-Camper build videos on YouTube

Crags to St Francis.

Natures Valley is always special. Bloukrans has become a country lane. The rest of the route wasn't really photogenic because of the rain (and lack of scenery).

There is a whole forum somewhere just on doing this to a ford transit for cycling purposes.

This is not the same Transit as above though. This is the Transit van which is like the MB sprinter. It is bigger and has a raised roof.

Good old Big Red Barn

Day one of nursing a severely bruised  ego back to health so that I can get back to being my normal unpleasant self.

Have done something similar with this https://www.gluedevil.co.za/products/adhesives/industrial-adhesive/g-bond to build up the areas and make a new, thicker, base for the valve, did a test ride today and holding up so fingers crossed.

Day 1 of the last 8 days of 2021. Went to a place that likes to use the word lekker in their advertising. Three Rivers.

Downhill there, and a lekker tailwind back.

I saw a caracal today! Crossed the road and then went up through the trees. I was too slow to get a pic,  took another pic of the bars again. (Jonkershoek road)
