  1. Correction!! The girl DID NOT sprint the elites!! She just casually rode away from them on the back section. Never to be seen again!
  2. Thanks Wesley. I see Wolfie has already commented on the Leonardi ad last night so he is aware of the ad.
  3. Not my ad Wolfie. Just posted link to the ad in the for sale section.
  4. Might be your lucky day! https://www.bikehub.co.za/index.php?app=core&module=search&section=search&do=search&fromsearch=1&search_app=hubmarket
  5. 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!!
  6. Ag nee man!!! Where Rabubi? On Klapperkop?
  7. Another two seperate incidents last week on Klapperkop. At the radio mast. Cyclists held up with knife/knives. Phones and watches stolen.
  8. Have you ridden in wet conditions at all? If so this will also explain why you need to replace bearings.
  9. 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
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Where is the Kudos button?? Well done Gerald and team.
  14. I was racing in VB. I am near sure I saw someone in this kit as we passed him(similar to Roberto's kit). I was still wondering if the VC guys only did 103km. This was on the section coming back towards Carnival City into the headwind.
  15. 36 will probably work wit a longer spindle. Does Cannondale make a 36 blade for the Si cranks?
  16. This is indeed true. In the past all the head tubes were the same. Hence the Lefty's was interchangeable. On the new Si this is not the case anymore.
  17. Hennie ek is baie bly julle het deur die een gekom. Veilig. Ek is seker die CPF gaan die ou probleempie mooi oplos.
  18. Just bear in mind that you do not need to replace the spring. You can get it from your Cannondale dealer and keep it until such time that your Lefty needs a service.
  19. Morning Meent. I spoke to my LBS regarding the 2 Spring. Its not available in SA yet. There was another kit which they used to solve the solo air issue. However its not the 2 spring kit. So they did an upgrade on your Lefty but its not the 2 Spring upgrade. The 2 spring kits will only arrive in SA in October. This is the info I received.
  20. Great news. Keep riding my Lefty until the parts are available and notice received. The 2 Spring piston will be for free but the service for my own account. Nice. Great service guys.
  21. Supersix Evo I understand your issues and arguments but you get too emotional as you are to close to this subject. You can unfortunately never be truly objective! I echo your sentiments though on some of the team selection.
  22. I hear a mother and her two daughters was attacked in Groenkloof over the week end.
  23. Three muggings. Two rapes and a body found!
