  1. Buddy of mine lost his action camera in the race, if anyone has found it please let me know.
  2. Hi Mahleu No, unfortunately they are not compatible. You should be able to pick up the correct cleats from your lbs. Just make sure you install them on the easy option while you testing them out. If you happy and confident with them then swop the cleats around for a more secure clip in.
  3. Welcome to the Hub Zeus Perhaps post in classifieds section with photos and more description of the products, you will hopefully receive better response there.
  4. My neighbour bought the Tinkoff set, he's happy with the kit.
  5. Facile Winter Glove - from Bicycle Line
  6. Welcome to the Hub Kamin My wife had issues with her mtb saddle, she tried a couple types of saddles I had, but the one that works best for her is Selle Italia Diva Gel Flow Saddle. she says its really comfortable.
  7. I run Tubless Maxxis Ardent race and Maxxis Ikon. Grips well
  8. Good fun, well done to organisers. Wife did her first 40k race today and enjoyed it.
  9. Nope, its the God helps those who helps themselves one. make sure you use degreaser or clean green, no need for prayer.
  10. I have the Chris Willemse branded one, works well, you possibly get better ones but CWC one works well for me.
  11. For dust I use a spray bottle (takes about a litre of water). Chain cleaner with some clean green. Then rinse with spray bottle and clean damp cloth.
  12. I have a pair of Garneau. I find them comfortable and plenty ventilation , however in winter you'll need toe covers
  13. I have Garneau and Northwave, I prefer the Northwave as they (for me) are warmer and sit comfortable.
  14. I use leg warmers, as Dale has said easy to peel off when temp rises. Also use tights on colder mornings for longer rides.
  15. like the people above, I had a DVT in left leg, was on Clexane for a couple months then moved on to warfarin for almost a year, warfarin was terrible. I did not feel normal on that (even had internal bleeding from it). had my INR tested once a week during this period. I still have to wear compression sock cause leg swells. I take Aspirin cardio every day now. Like Moriaty says, listen to the doc, not worth taking a chance
  16. correct ^^^ take a scott spark 920 rrp for 2016 52k, 2017 model 62k - 19.3% increase next 3 years at that increases your current 62k bike will become 105k, save hard if you want to be one of the first to own a 2020 model. if you currently own a bike and don't owe anything on it, then the best is to save as much as you can and buy the model you want when it goes on special, cash. I prefer to buy from lbs as I get the warranty, 2nd hand you basically buying a "voetstoets".
  17. Not sure on Bikelife, Wesbank was 13%. Its always best to shop around
  18. Then Wesbank i would say is the better option, cause they were going to finance against the discounted price from Cyclelab.
  19. I was going to do a deal with Cyclelab, they had a bike I really wanted, needed, had to have… but they couldn't get my size bike. Was going to put down a 62% deposit and finance the balance. They were very helpful. Did shop around and managed to negotiate 5k off the price from another bike shop. I heard some places only finance against the RRP
  20. Example R52 000. Deposit would be R5200 Payment term would be 36 months min (from Wesbank if im not mistaken) Interest rate 13% Monthly installment R1 685.61 Total payment at the end of the term would be roughly R65 881.91 if you can afford the monthly payments comfortably, then why not.
