Someone with the relevant welding licenses would be ideal since getting titanium welding wrong can be eina for the rider.

Unfortunately in SA I think you are going to struggle. Calculus bikes had their frames fabricated in Vietnam where there is a strong oils and gas component fabrication industry. We don’t have that in SA. Try contacting Sling cycles. They are the only guys whose advise I would trust in this matter as they have their frames welded somewhere in SA. Cold be past tense though

Ciovita are sponsoring his kit for 2025, so I believe the branding will remain unless he gets signed by a team in the transfer window. basis the way the sponsorship proposal was structured Decofurn would have chipped in a good amount, but there’s no conflict with Ciovita despite the ownership of The Hub clothing. Everyone of the sponsors knows the situation and is even comfortable with if a branding conflict should arise but that is considered

He has almost enough to get to most of the races. Fund raising is still ongoing

Absolutely barn storming ride by Luke. 5th row start to 5th. He deserves better but he’s overcoming every obstacle. he's the rider of the day as far as I’m concerned

Very different track layout

Where do you live? Is your 10km ride straight up a hill, pan cake flat or rolling terrain. You're 50y and 60kg so I assume relatively short or a female? you haven't provided any information inthis regard WRT to you issue, what is duckwalking for 20min and then you're ok. Are you in pain and if so, where? Are you cramping? You say you haven't cycled for 20-20 years, but have you participated in other sports? again no information provided. If you can provide a clearer picture it will be a lot easier to attempt to help you. Some will say "go for a bike fit" and although this may be good advise, we can't even comment on this since we don't know if you live down the road or at the North Pole.

better and easier for TV coverage

its amazing the difference a few degrees makes

Well Namibia has Gas so i say we go and annex Namibia with our fishing fleet and homing pigeons , then we can claim Vera as our own

Incredible performance from Swenson you know with all his back problems and lack of form a few weeks ago.

Try 13industries, they are the distributor for Cane Creek, the company that first brought head angle reducing headsets to market with the Angleset

Good to know. I’ve always checked that box because I’ve been a member of a club for as long as I’ve been cycling (almost) I just logged into the new portal too. There’s a lot of virtual clubs there. Someone’s making good pocket money

At least that’s rebuildable, Shimano just sproings apart and thereafter remains sproinged

You sure? I know a few people who are not members of a club but buy a CSA member to avoid paying day license fees… unless they’re members of a virtual club somewhere

Oom JB

come on man, who do think you are Alejandro Valverde....??!!

Commercial aspects always trump the rules.filing the batches is the prime objective it would appear

No you don’t. Apologies if I was unclear

Yes essentially there has been occasional historical problems with hardness of the pawls

Pity because the hubs are used in wheels built by Omnico under their House brand Zero Two. They also use more high end options from this company so they do carry spares. Your LBS could have sourced the spares for you. It might have taken a few phone calls and sending the hub to Omnico for a visual check and parts compatibility

Open seeding is generally based on FinishTime or SASeeding index. Where you end up will be determined on your seeding index in theire systems. To be seeded in an Age group category you will need to meet a few criteria. you are seeded in one of one the recognised systems as a top 15% rider.in that age cat you have a day license for the event (purchased at entry) or a CSA Member If the event is run by a provincial body i.e. Western Cape Cycling or Gauteng cycling a Racing License may be required to race age category. It is only compulsory to have a racing license if you racing Jnr, U23 or Elite. For other categories, only a CSA Membership or day license is required You would need to be specific about the event here because sometimes there is the situation where a provincial event is doubling up with a commercial event for participants in a Provincial Road, XCO or XCM series to accrue points, Otherwise typically the Finishtime of SASeeding applies which means your scenario should not be the case This is entirely up to you. Often top 10 in Open will not translate into the age category. Too take out a racing license you need to be a member of a club. To race age category a day license or CSA Membership is sufficient. TO be eligible for national colours you will need a racing license. Note National colours are only consistently awarded to Jnr, U23 and Elite license holders. Age category winners will only be awarded National colours if available and the winner is license holder

Actually after a bit of research, it appears to one of the OEM, Chosen brand of hub. The pawls on those are a known problem.

Yes that way also If handled like a big block of training . We don’t know where they are in periodisation so I guess as John says, give a month or so. for Nino I was working back from Lenzerheide later in the year to get an idea what he’s up to since we can safely assume the Swiss round and the world champs would be his focus being a week apart

Looks like a generic Taiwanese made hub bought and sometimes branded by the bike OEMs this one could be a Novatec
