  1. these tickets are cash only so either bring the R50 along and pay when you get to town or buy the ticker at a train station on the Saturday. I wasted about 15min last year an escort to find an ATM to draw cash so I could pay cash. They didn't take cards
  2. yes thats his name, the danish bloke
  3. No real rules around it because as long as the road is closed and you don't involved with the race in group 8G you're good to go all the way around again. Just wrap your number board in some foil .....
  4. So it’s just a longer fork…..
  5. Evo is 120mm X is a 130mm im sure that is a sweet spot but I guarantee once it arrives reviewers will be moaning for 140mm joe average will follow like sheeple.. ibis just launched a Ripley SL with 130/120 and it will replace the Exie. reviewers and Joe average are loaning it’s not as light as the exie. Slaan my met n pap snoek, but a him manufacturer and distributor can never satisfy cyclists. I reckon 120 is overkill For Joe average and more travel isn’t going to get through those rock gardens any easier than 120.
  6. I am always quite intrigued by the “average Joe’s “ requirement for a longer travel bike. Launch a 120mm bike and they want a 130mm. Give them the 130 and they want a 140 yet they have mastered none…. your “average Joe” is a gravel biker. its a bit like needing a 4tjuna to drop the kids at school
  7. And they will quote the fitment fee so R12k at least
  8. SE forecast at this point in time, and a fairly brisk one at that
  9. Giant include it as a value add, from the showroom. The S-Works versions is carbon fibre and retails for R9999-95
  10. its an aero cover. reduces drag between the cassette and wheel spokes while freewheeling. Its worth at least 20W
  11. its just another race for me. no lustre. Its not special anylonger despite the full road closure. The whole vibe is just gone
  12. Ok I see you haven’t popped your humour pills today …yet…😀
  13. Strangely silent…
  14. Nope, ruled himself out already
  15. Mate, I like Primoz but he can’t even stay rubber side down on a road bike on paved road, asking him to ride 1) a Mtb 2) over 8 days ( longer then he typically last at the real Tour de France) 3) with Matt “pass me” Beers…… have you been drinking again?
  16. Where this this club and what are their club fees….?
  17. There is some truth here because essentially what will happen is the wax emulsion will be competing for bond site area with Extreme Pressure additives present in motor oils and hydraulic oils. So as long as you don’t use an oil with EP additives it should be fine. Examples of EP less oils would be vegetable or tallow oils (fish oil). But essentially the bst course of action is once the chain is cleaned , rinse it in hot water immediately and then lube it with your water carrier wax lube. Let that dry and then apply some more. There’s no point drying a chain thoroughly from water only to add more water back to it. Water carrier wax lubes can be applied to wet chains , in fact this allows the line to spread itself more effectively
  18. Oil stripped metal must be oiled immediately. Corrosion starts immediately after contact with oxygen
  19. I dont trust their stuff to be honest. however nevertheless, likely your cleaning solution is too strong and all protective hydrocarbons have been removed, or your passivation layer has been deactivated by the cleaning agent. Is this stuff quite acidic?
  20. What detergent did you use?
  21. You okes up to your usual “making funriders great again” tricks…? Hmmmmm diesel was laid up with a stomach bug. P2M improving by the quarter of an hour
  22. Oh i see, that's a change. I didn't know the PPA were capable of change.....
  23. DC...?!?! its very seldom used for seeding unless it's the only eligible event they can use to seed you
  24. lay a charge of Assault GBH at the appropriate SAPS office. Hope you got the witnesses contact numbers. Make this POS pay
  25. Yes, CSA is not a policing force. That is up to the SAPS. But they don't police sporting body bans. As far as this matter with Bester is concerned, the CSA has done what it can in terms of ensuring that he has no access to their systems, accreditation, etc. Can he coach at a private school? likely not but he doesn't have a criminal record in this regard and such a body would have to determine if he is worth the risk based on his CSA sanction, not via a criminal record. SafeGuarding should pull up his sanction by CSA if t has been logged then this can be actioned.
