  1. And if you have a 10speed lockring laying around please let me know
  2. Hi Everyone, I'm fixing our Tandem to cell later but realized in my excitement to declutter I threw out it's 9speed cassette. Anyone have a 9speed cassette laying around with some life left?
  3. Hi Everyone. I am looking for a dirt cheap rear rim brake wheel that I will use on my trainer. One that can fit 10speed shimano cassettes. Willing o pay real monies as well. Somerset West so any surrounding towns
  4. Somewhere deep into the Eastern Cape
  5. That’s cool, keep us posted on how you find it.
  6. How I see it, you do business in 1 of two ways on the hub. You do it by whoever contacts you first and they get preference or you sell it to whoever coughs up the money first. It does seem like the seller hasn't decided yet how he wants to do business, communicates like he does business by handshakes and trust but as soon as he sees the money all of that falls by the wayside. Commit to how you want to do business and communicate that to the buyers. Business is business, maar wees lekker
  7. Dude well done and thank you. That is very cool. What would be interesting to see is if one could compare between 2 people. For example 2 people within the same batch then one could see the following. But yes I can just do it in an excel sheet so not nitpicking, very cool website you have made
  8. There are definitely exception to the rule. There was a Stephan in the A bunch, I cant remember his tally of Tours but I can remember thinking someone with as many tours as he does shouldn't be here. He would just switch lines without a second thought and force gaps in the bunch, he almost took me out a few times as I tried to get past his line of destruction.
  9. This year was my 10th one and couldn't help to think back on the first one. I was probably 15 years old at the time. Flew down from Hartbeespoort with friends and slept over in Strand. I can just remember waking up to the south easter HOWLING. We put our bikes on the trailer, drove out the parking garage and as we drove out my seat hit a pipe on the roof and the front of the seat bent backwards. Luckily we could sort a seat out before the start. To this day I do not know how they didn't cancel that one, no one could start standing up, we crawled over the start line. It was easier cycling up chappies than it was cycling down in the wind, I had to stand and pedal against the wind. We obviously had to frame the Argus newspaper clippings. Did it on a yellow steel Hanson that was way to big for me. I don't know at what number I'll stop being excited for this race but as you can see at number 10 I still had a blast.
  10. I started in 1A as well, my fitness definitely didn't deserve the start. So yes I was a passenger today up until 38km when I got a flat so changed my tube and did a coffee ride for the rest. Fun day out though. Amazing support along the route, cool to see some of the kids really proud to be on the side supporting.
  11. That is very shocking, that road is insanely busy at 7:30 in the morning. Any details of how it played out? I think a few of us use that road often
  12. Started Sunday with my confidence level higher than my fitness in group B. Popped so bad I decided to call it a day at 30km. December/January I didn't put in enough time to be able to hold on. But NOW I am highly questioning my lack of focus over Des cause its my best start yet in 1A for the CTCT thanks to the Durbie Dash of last year but the legs aren't there. So any miracle advice like "boost your avg FTP by 50 watts in a week" would be highly appreciated.
  13. If you get the wide range 11 Speed cassette then you don't have to change the freehub. The 11-34 https://velo.outsideonline.com/2018/03/shimano-ultegra-hg-800-11-34t-cassette-review/
  14. Thanks, can you remember what the extra baggage cost?
