  1. Hi everyone, I’m looking to get the commuting shoes. Do anyone have them and know how we could get it into the country?
  2. Hi everyone, I have a kids seat that we aren’t using. I'm based in Stellenbosch so whoever fetches it can have it
  3. Good read thank you. And what a beaut of a bike.
  4. Sorry yeah I was a bit critical, I would agree, pop a Shimano groupo on and he'll have a fun ride
  5. Well done on keeping the Friday mob at bay
  6. Yap that’s me, can’t look past that asymmetric design. Looks like good value for money but yeah I want to get excited looking at a bike as well
  7. I’m a massive Shimano 12 speed fan, so I'm usually biased towards Shimano. But the clutch is an issue and needs to be serviced as often as you change a babies nappy. Massive pain, so much so that I just don't cycle with the clutch on
  8. Great, even me. Hopefully there would be some racing up to the base of the pass
  9. Anyone else just got a number for your back?
  10. Yeah I fall in the XL range, one advantage of being tall and heavy. 2 bottles and being cool with a hydration pack
  11. The lack of a second bottle cage is a challenge
  12. I'm 100% Scott fan boy. But in this example the Trek looks like the winner by a big margin. Better fork and shock, it's a bit lighter if you believe them on the website. The paintjob looks cool as well I'v been punishing my shimano 12 speed SLX/XT and its been nothing but a dream. Set and forget. I know the lower end sram 12 speed stuff are quite a mission to keep dialed in.
  13. Sitting here hoping there are a few okes racing the 95km...
  14. Yeah they have two versions, one with lube and one without. I saw both ath Chris willemse
  15. Hahahaha I tried the whole wheelie infront of the Camara, barely got the wheel off the ground and cramped immediately. Worth it though for those 5cm's of lift
  16. Now the real questions are being asked…if you are not working in the front then you can’t complain about the pace.
  17. I recently did exactly that, slapped a new 11 speed 52/36 Crank on my 10 speed bike. And then got a 11-28 10 speed cassette. Must say I'm very happy with the range. I've actually got more range than I had on my Compact crank and the 11-25 cassette both ways.
  18. You guys riding the A Bunch apart again as in 2019?
  19. I want to race so bad but the weather looks proper horrible and wet.
  20. I used an old 2x shifter as a lockout. You need to press it twice though to lockout but works like a charm
  21. Interesting start for the 1 E Group, we arrived the 10min before the start as indicated on emails only to be told they have moved forward and we'll have to start with 2E. Obviously a bunch of worked up guys just jumped the line to join the rest of the 1E group after which the just let everyone through. Weather was amazing, pace was good but I punctured at the foot of Smitswinkel. Made a quick Tube change, if only The Red Bull team could see me, but after that the racing was over and could just enjoy the rest of the ride.
  22. I've sent mine with Courier Guy before and that worked great as well. So there are a few options
  23. When someone finally gets it done please give an update, Any idea ons arriving 30min before or after test slot? Would that be allowed? I can only arrive at 5:30 but a slot is either 5 or 6?
