    the can't even build cranks that don't break...!!

    No power meter option at launch?

    Also purchased from Cyclelab discounted to R1999 maybe they knew there’s a problem with production run

    Possibly think you are right. However that type of consumer is not going to shop anywhere other than their high street store because they can’t let their friends know they’re poor. the unashamedly poor will always shop for value and if DC can deliver sporting goods that is recognisable in the sports media then they will appeal to new entrants and more established cyclists alike. I find it easier to shop at sportsman’s warehouse for certain goods because of the Vitality benefit and lately some stores also have quite competent people (using tokai and rondebosch as examples and acknowledge it’s a small sample). Market the Van Rysel and Rockrider brands appropriately they will sell. The timing is right.

    Also have a relatively new Assos Mille gt with a hole thats developed. Also no warranty .quite disappointing

    That’s no Rama’s fault though. When the global economy turns downward, emerging markets take the hit because there is less appetite for the risk associated with those emerging markets. there are other factors as well but that’s the overarching causal for the exchange rate decline. We saw it post 2007 as well

    That just won’t work here. I’d rather just support Cabal because I’d buy a van Rysel due to the value the brand offers. That value will just be eroded through a high street store.

    They’d sell well if sold in SA. Good competition for TitanRacing assuming decathlon brings them in and sells direct to consumer because we just know a distributor will be looking to pay off a few Porsches with these….

    Origami coaching?
  10. DieselnDust
    None in SA at the moment. Bikemob was the last distributor but they shut down a few years ago

    Even if those riders were being coached by “the company” at the time that does not implicate “the company” since many elite athletes have their coach and an advisor and a nutritionist and whoever else they need that can provide their needs. Lance had dr Ferrari and a more visible coach ( can’t remember the name) plus motorman. rourckes doping was as obvious as the midday sun in a dessert. He went from absolutely nowhere to suddenly outsprinting the front of an international XCO field. Even Rob Warner asked what’s going on there where did that come from…

    Hitler said the same about the Jews in the 1930’s…he just used economic dominance as an excuse….... slippery slope she’s on..// slippery slope

    Coaches also sign an oath and have to complete the anti doping training through WADA. They’re can be determined to be complicit to the athletes transgressions. CSA now requires all athletes, their coaches and support crewto take the anti doping training!

    <Close thread>

    Yes he was quite a revelation wasn’t he. And now that he’s not racing anymore he’s super chilled and revelling in the Mr XCOBrasil persona. his commentary plus Bart and Oil was very insightful. I did still miss Rob to provide zone 7 heart rate
  16. DieselnDust
    Yes he had quite a large block of training over the summer. I figured he was going to emerge strongest on the team it didn't play out like that in the XCC. Todays result should boost his confidence. We have Luke Moir coming up to support Alan in the elites in 2026 and there's more SA talent in the pipeline so hopefully we qualify for two spots in LA in 2028. Tyler Jacobs also did quite well in U23 considering she is going to struggle to get to all the races unless a sponsor comes on board after the Computer Mania team folded. And lets not forget to celebrate the SA coaches behind these kids, the guys and gals at Science2Sport, DaisyWay Coaching, Barry Austin, Mike Posthumus (Specialized Factory Racing) and John Wakefield (looking after Matt Beers)

    A bit of power play between Victor and Martin. Martin was trying to impress upon Victor the importance of team work. The French have 2 slots for the men and two for the women in Paris. The women will most likely be PFP and Loana. The men is a bit of a turkey shoot. Joshua Dubau Victor Koretzky Jordan Sarrou Adrien Boichis Titouan Carrod They're all a bit desperate to get early results. Kossman I think is qualified already

    Alan started 4th row in 26th and was as low as 36th on lap one. Go t caught up behind some slippage on a steep climb and was down to 46sec behind by the end of the lap. Clawed back to 8th. 1) Chris Blevins (Specialized Factory Racing) 2) Victor Koretzky (Specialized Factory Racing) 3) Filipo Colombo (Scott SRAM) 4) Joshua Dubois (Rockrider Ford) 5) Martin Vidaurre Kossman (Specialized Factory Racing)

    They never take down a finding after it’s been published unless there’s a dispute. Its gets published when it’s a done deal. So unless the site got hacked ,…. There’s something going on
  20. DieselnDust
    I don’t think so, it’s been removed from the SAIDS website as well. There more going on behind the scenes. Go warm the popcorn 🍿 pot and fill the kettle

    Kiwi roadie sounds like meetmeet

    Signing up for stay live as we speak. Had a different system shared with a mate and the buffering across the vpn was a bit frustrating so I gave up
  24. DieselnDust
    I hope Alan is saving himself for the XCO tomorrow. The team arrived later than ideal into Brasil
  25. DieselnDust
    I see Adrian Boichis decided to race elites and not U23
