  1. If not a complete bicycle the invoice must state each component with code and country of origin. good luck getting a shop to do that for you
  2. Gloworm if you really want a quality light. Best light output I have ever seen and really waterproof all brackets (bike and helmet) included...
  3. my Head lamp weighs 69 g. and the battery pack is either in the back pocket , strapped to the arm or in a rucksack dependent on the activity . at 700Lumen it runs for the whole night (about 10 hours). Why carry batteries on the head?
  4. A gift voucher is King. Either from you for a second hand or from a shop if he might have mentioned a favourite brand etc?
  5. I use a few drops of vinegar on hot days
  6. It is important to have as little pressure there as possible or even none. A flat saddle shape that is wide enough to cover your sit bone width is essential
  7. wow,wow,wow Pantani, sorry he slipped my mind completely for some reason, what a climber what a tragedy But "do you even cycling"???????????? Pantani was '98 Ullrich was '97
  8. Can it be the testing? I have heard the french have one of the strictest tests and rules when it comes to doping . Statistics show Russia Italy and France have the highest numbers in Anti Doping Violations: • Countries with the most anti-doping rule violations worldwide | Statista so the more they test the more they catch ? When did an Italian win the TDF last except for 2014 Nibali
  9. if they show it live it should start at 12:40 for Women's race and 15:25 for the Men's race That's the times found at redbull TV
  10. there are some offers for very basic or beginners/ new bike set ups under R300. But mostly it's worth to have a full one done
  11. Google is your friend , if you want professional help look for a place that does online fitting for now and if it's in your area you can probably go there after the Virus has calmed down for a proper session
  12. I am also interested in joining a ride here and there, have not done any of the mentioned ones yet
  13. Hi , I have a vintage bike which is about 90 years old . Got some info that it is either from the late 20's or early 30's It says Pantherwerke on the plaque. Any collectors with more knowledge ? Anyone interested ? I am willing to sell due to relocation
  14. side wall is breaking that's not fixable
  15. How about contacting the organizers, maybe they can send you the file to print yourself ? TELEPHONE+27 82 928 6586EMAILinfo@eroicasouthafrica.com
  16. Have you measured the fore foot angle ? I had similar issues and needed leg length shim on one side and 2° tilt on the other side

  18. Why don't you check the used ones here in buy&sell ?
  19. Normal rails are round with a diameter of 7mm. The carbon rails of many saddles including the S are 7x9mm and need a different clamp but it looks like the Giant ISP is designed to take any 7x rails so you should be fine . Just to be safe ask Giant
