  1. I've just found the one I have (D'Arc) dont go clear enough for dark morning rides. @ R300 I just ordered myself a set of Rockbros with interchangeable lenses. Thanks to the link posted earlier. I need to see better before sunrise.
  2. This is where I HAVE had a problem with CL boksburg, used the workshop a few times for odd stuff where I havent had the time or could not do it myself and have never left 100% satisfied.
  3. Exactly. They make a token effort with a Dekra report, you are basically buying the car voetstoets. And it’s not like they hide the fact.
  4. you cannot compare webuycycles to WBCars, WBCars operate on a wholesale basis moving volume rather than chasing profit. The most they do is clean the car and provide a dekra report, this is why they can pay more than trade price and still sell at a reasonable price. webuycycles seem to be throwing a net out and are obviously catching some fish along the way, it must be working for them because they are still doing it and are still in business. The result of WBCars is that they've skewed the used car market, this is one of the reasons used car prices are high, so the end user still gets the short end of the stick.
  5. had similar with gatorskins when they aged,
  6. I used to despise them, but I've found occasionally you'll get stuff cheaper there, and in conjunction with their mycyclelife vouchers I've bought things there and paid either zero or next to zero for the stuff. But you need to first check the pricing on the items you are wanting to buy because you cant cast a blanket generalization that everything is cheaper. oh and I'm talking small ticket items here, not whole bikes etc. I still dont like the monopoly they have, and when I can I'd rather support a smaller LBS.
  7. They do. And it’s not just Honda, you’ll see the same with any brand. Most of the time the people putting out these ads have no clue about CI, and unless it gets spotted by the manufacturer it carries on.
  8. let it be known that hondacentral does not equal honda SA, they look like just a dealership. And trust me, if you leave it to the sales manager / staff, this is generally the kind of quality advertising you will get.
  9. and the okes with their AMG caps walk in here at Honda and complain that Hondas cost to much.
  10. If I wanted to be an Actuary I would have studied that. My med aid. life cover, insurance needs to operate in the background, I should not need to think of it until the poop hits the fan. To ask me to pay a monthly rewards fee, and then still have to jump through ever changing hoops, the changes of which you need to hunt down from various documents and study every possible scenario to get the most bang for buck. Yes you're right, Vitality is not for me, and it looks like their health care is year by year becoming less suited to me too.
  11. Its frustrating because they make it so complicated to understand. And years ago when I was about to join discovery I was trying to get all the info I needed to make a decision, but all that info appeared to be hidden behind membership access, so you could only know what you're getting AFTER you join. IMHO Discovery are surfing their previous reputation of being great with great benefits, but they've over complicated something that should be straight forward. Maybe they're trying to keep their brokers in jobs.
  12. Thanks DD, I thought as much, looking forward to chasing the 50 jersey when I'm in my 70's
  13. After our second tour we made a goal of doing 10 tours in a row, we managed 12 before we skipped any. But back then there was no medal for doing 10, you got a yellow number and that was it.
  14. For someone that has done this "race" as many times as I have, this is a silly question, but one I do not know the answer to. Why are the milestone 10 - 21 -30 - 40 ? Why 21 and not 20 ?
  15. thats because now you're more aware of your body and how it should function
  16. No idea. @Frosty might know. im not even racing it next week, but wanted to do a long ride today so joined the guys.
  17. This doesnt make sense to me though, because I set a new Max HR of 10bpm higher than my previous Max.
  18. I suspect the mould in your bottle will get you before the plastic does.
  19. I only have a road route, and for that you wont need a gpx file as its one long road.
  20. I dont see how training for 947 differs to training for CTCT in your scenario. Also the safety aspect only comes into play outside of the event itself, i.e. to and from the parking, and despite the reports on here I've managed to not be affected by it. But it is there, this is Joburg, so you do need to know about it and be vigilant.
  21. can we keep the depressing political commentary out of this thread please
