Some good news: chatted to Lloyd, at Cape Cycle Systems, this morning, and they have agreed to bring in 30-odd Ravemen lights - immediately - as well as some spares, so excellent news for myself (handlebar mounts) as well as others questioning availability, above! "Hi Chris, We have just placed an order for Ravemen with 30 light brackets of each model for the lights we bring in (as well as 30 lights, etc). Regards Lloyd"

Hi - I have a new RAVEMEN light that I WON, so unsure who SELLS them, a search leaves me empty handed... Looking for 2 more light MOUNTS (only the mounts) since this light is so good, it may become my 'forever' light...! https://www.ravemen.com/product-reviews/251.html Cannot find a local distributor - anyone got any ideas, before I try importing 2x? thanks Chris 072 211 7725

Harsh; there are a few who go the extra mile…. see what happens, and THEN ‘dis them, if you must; presently you are mentally setting yourself up for failure. Cheers Chris

I am looking for SHORTY aluminium race-bike mudguards, for a vintage bike I use, partly to achieve ‘the look’, but also for Winter riding. Cheers, Chris

Purchased 3 x Castrol & STP shirts (non cycling related), an innovative bell for one bike (since I am not a clean-handlebar purist!) and a cross-bar stash bag for another bike. Despite reservations, product arrived quickly, probably exceeded my expectations, and am happy, all this for VERY LITTLE money. 1st timer with Temu, and I am happy.

In all truth, we did not KNOW what an influencer was in 2006 - true story!

It was just a fun giggle! Ignore if it offends you! Test-driving cars, and bikes and bicycles is COMMONPLACE; helmets, not so much… Cheers Chris

One should always TEST before buying. You gave me an idea… On my next trip to Woolies, am going to ask if I can TEST a pair of underpants around the block, to CHECK for comfort, since they COULD pinch, etc. Cheers!

Yes, also feel you are harsh - he raised a SINGLE arm, and then, just - and quite gently - acknowledged the awaiting crowd - I think he handled it well.

Longer chainstays help with HEEL clearance, meaning the back of foot then will not make contact with rear panniers, and this also handily provides a more-stable ride (less twitchy). That said, i used a Cannondale rigid fork MTB for much of my touring, but made sure the pannier bags could be mounted well back, for heel clearance - it IS a thing!

I have recently ordered 4 inexpensive items. Communication very good, so far. About 2-week delivery time. Will advise what TAXES are payable. R500-R600 exposure, so willing to try it out. Expect plenty of ADDITIONAL, focussed NON ORDER-related emails, but i am ok with that. they promise a R20 rebate IF it arrives after predicted date! Chris

If asking a question (tell me why…?) and SIMULTANEOUSLY stating ‘inconsiderate’, I think F-I-R-S-T wait for a response, and THEN go all ‘inconsiderate’…. (fellow eBike rider, AND non eBiker…) have you ASKED the organizers? Cheers, Chris

Robbie - dislocating my shoulder on Tokai/Cobra in early December, I also made a vist to ‘The Tunnel’ (CT scanner) for say the 07th or 08th time, b-u-t this time, for the first-time EVER, anywhere, I got claustrophobic (tunnel around 10cm from my face, and of course ‘The Noise’…) only 25 mins, but I NEARLY pushed the Emergency button they give you, but i had dropped it, and felt a bit daft shouting ‘help’! Got a new respect for that damn tunnel, clearly I needed a spoon of Chuck Norris TTFU!
