  1. Pity!! Good luck in the search!
  2. I know of a brand new 54cm CAAD 12 in black for sale.
  3. Tik Tok waars @spinnekop!
  4. You want to use my Topstone?
  5. Have a look again. There is disc brakes.
  6. I have only one gripe! Why do they insist on taking us over to the right hand lane of the highway and then back at the off ramp. We should stay left!! Its safer for everyone involved.
  7. Wonder when SAIDS will update the list to show the latest two caught as well as the lady removed from the list?
  8. The race was good and hard. If you read the race bible that was available online you will see that it was not a 100% road closure. As stated above the Ekurhuleni Metro did nothing to stop cars if that was their brief. On the highway back home it was a bit confusing. Should we ride left or right of the cones. Once sorted we had most of the highway to ourselves. To the idiot in the white 100Cycle organisers bakkie that tried to pass the VB bunch just after that sharp left turn in Alberton. Man youre an idiot!! You nearly killed some riders n the VB bunch. To the VB rider 356 do you really think its necessary to throw your gel sachets on the road and not put them back in your pocket like everyone else? I will be back next year. Lets hope this race can survive.
  9. No seeding if you enter after 15 April? As licensed rider it does not make sense to enter then.
  10. Yes what an idiot!! He was also the idiot pushing team members for the first 110km!! Once again!! What an idiot!!! You must choose your team members better and your riding buddies even better!!!!
  11. The fact that the owners of Seattle are passionate about coffee and cycling makes Seattle a great group of coffee shops!!
  12. Seattle just off Lynwood near the Hillside tavern in Pretoria. The best coffee. Bike friendly. Friendly and great baristas!!
  13. Correction!! The girl DID NOT sprint the elites!! She just casually rode away from them on the back section. Never to be seen again!
  14. I am sure Spinnekop will give his feedback soon. But alas the age old timing issue has reared its head again! The fact that guys don't wear the chips/stickers and then afterwards want to dispute the results. The worst is that the organisers entertain this. No chip no result!!
  15. Ag nee man!!! Where Rabubi? On Klapperkop?
  16. Another two seperate incidents last week on Klapperkop. At the radio mast. Cyclists held up with knife/knives. Phones and watches stolen.
  17. Have you ridden in wet conditions at all? If so this will also explain why you need to replace bearings.
  18. cbdcaffie this is not a recall as far as I know. This has been discussed here as well. You need to replace with new solo air once your Lefty goes in for its normal service. Have a look at this link. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/162864-lefty-owners-read-here/?do=findComment&comment=2966542
  19. Front wheel Cannondale squeak is a known issue. As soon as you hear it take the front wheel off and sort the squeak out. Grease is all that is needed with the wafer washer. If you leave it too long it can cause damaged bearings. Raemondo I have never had to replace pivot bearing that soon on any Scalpel. The BB bearings can be an issue depending on which model Scalpel you have. Some of them has ceramic bearings as standard and these normally don't last in our conditions. May I suggest you speak to Omnico regarding all these issues. It might be a warrantee issue.
  20. Maybe in future riders should be scanned into the bunches. This will help with the individuals that feels its their right to go and wait at the start line for their bunch to arrive at the line. Similar to mountain bike races were you get scanned in from the back and move into your group.
  21. To the organisers. Great job indeed. Just two observations. At the start we were in the VD block. When we were called up there were about 20-30 VD riders already at the start line. So these guys did not stand in the loading pens. They waited close to the gate to be in front. Not that this is an issue but it should not be allowed. Pooks Hill sorted them out. Second observation. The seeding of the VA, VB and VC and most probably VD as well needs to be addressed. I can probably ad the tandems in here as well. The VD bunch caught huge bunches made up of these riders. It then became an issue to get through these bunches. As these dropped riders all tried to get into the VD bunch that just passed them. Like I said these are only observations and not complaints.
  22. Where is the Kudos button?? Well done Gerald and team.
