There are only X amount of vouchers available per time period. I'm not sure if it's a calendar month or not. You just have to wait for the next allocation which may or may not be tomorrow.

I was in that big group. The ride there was all fun and games, but the trip back to Blouberg Sands, not so much.

Interesting thing I noticed on the start procedure; all start groups up until 2D will be timed gun to mat and from 3A onwards, it will be mat to mat. "For start groups up to the end of wave 2, each rider will receive an identical “bunch” start time. From group 3A onwards, each rider’s riding time will only start once they have crossed the actual timing mat marked by the Garmin Squad."

3A for me which is a huge improvement form 6F last year.

Last year there were 6 areas, so this is the updated version for 2022.

They sent out an email earlier. SEEDING Seeding for the 2022 Cape Town Cycle Tour will be sent out from 4pm on Friday, February 11 in batches. So please keep an eye on your inbox. This is a good time to ensure we have your correct contact details on our system so click here to update your details. If you took part in official Cycle Tour seeding events in the last 24 months these will be factored in to your final seeding for the 2022 Cycle Tour. "

I'm sure quite a few of the 99er riders are going to be quite disappointed then.

It seems he's going to be here for a couple of weeks, so there should be a few more local videos. Here is the first one that he did.

Their website says over 170km of trails, so even better. The family membership is a real bargain - it's only R1900 for 2 adults and 2 dependents, which means the children are basically free.

I think it's that much because it''s so long - 66m. The Stans tape for R299 is only 9m. Here is a 10 meter roll for R135 at Takelot: https://www.takealot.com/tubeless-rim-tape-28mm-x-10m/PLID72897087

Apparently they are in DJ Wood street in Bellville. https://www.google.com/search?q=cycling south africa address&rlz=1C1SQJL_enZA788ZA788&oq=cycling+south+africa+address&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60j69i61j69i60j69i65l2.5273j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&tbs=lf:1,lf_ui:10&tbm=lcl&sxsrf=APq-WBulKg1YZyMiQRG8Po2TKTLvKLPJaQ:1643898398233&rflfq=1&num=10&rldimm=10215291215580680609&lqi=ChxjeWNsaW5nIHNvdXRoIGFmcmljYSBhZGRyZXNzIgJIAVocIhRjeWNsaW5nIHNvdXRoIGFmcmljYSoECAMQAJIBF25vbl9wcm9maXRfb3JnYW5pemF0aW9uqgEPEAEqCyIHY3ljbGluZygA&ved=2ahUKEwiNvcrg3uP1AhVoSPEDHdi4DCsQvS56BAgCEEI&rlst=f#rlfi=hd:;si:10215291215580680609,l,ChxjeWNsaW5nIHNvdXRoIGFmcmljYSBhZGRyZXNzIgJIAVocIhRjeWNsaW5nIHNvdXRoIGFmcmljYSoECAMQAJIBF25vbl9wcm9maXRfb3JnYW5pemF0aW9uqgEPEAEqCyIHY3ljbGluZygA;mv:[[-33.89848815327243,18.61334535954971],[-33.901716235731826,18.605298732505034]]

The only time they're going to stop that ad is when the credit card paying for it doesn't work any more.

Someone has done something to the site and it's no longer accessible. It may have been Afrihost responding to reports of it being a scam.

An ad for this website popped up on my FB feed today. I had a look at the site and all the signs are there that it's a scam. The site was only registered on 16 January, prices are too good to be true, only a cellphone number and no secure payment methods. If you try and place an order, it just goes into a Whatsapp chat where they will probably give you details to EFT. https://mtbwarehouse.co.za/ There is an address given at N4 Gateway Business Park in PTA East, but I suspect you won't find this particular warehouse there.

My banking app doesn't have any miles account on it. I have the free savings account and that's all that shows. My miles only show in the normal Discovery/Vitality app

You can't just generate a voucher for any amount. They come in R100, R250 and maybe R500. - I'm not sure about that one Sometimes some of them aren't available and you have to wait a few days until they are. When I looked now, only the R100 vouchers are available. That means you would have to buy 1 voucher every day for 6 days to get R600 off.

You can buy extra SWH vouchers as well with your Miles and use them in the same transaction as your R250 voucher. You can only buy one per day though, but you can use more than one at a time.

He seems ok, just needed 6 stitches.

You can buy them empty as well. Then it comes with 2 spare silicon inserts.

That's the whole mount. J.E.K. just wants a replacement insert.

I got mine at Bike24. I bought some other stuff as well, so the shipping cost wasn't an issue. https://www.bike24.com/p2118794.html

Last year I bought a few times from Bike24 using DHL postal and every time the package was delivered to my door by the Post Office within 2 weeks of landing in SA. On the other hand, my Bikeinn order from around March 2021 which was also via the Post Office is still MIA.

I had a look at the 2021 40km Banhoek results and found the corresponding Strava rides from some of the finishers. It was indeed just 30km.

Subsequent owners get 3 years from date of original purchase. I would have thought that the hub or any part of it would fall under wheels which are do have a warranty (2 years for alloy rimmed wheels and lifetime for carbon). https://www.trekbikes.com/za/en_ZA/warranty_policy/

Trek does have a lifetime warranty on the frames for the first owner. Scott has a 5 year warranty. The dropper on a Trek XL also has 20mm more travel than the Scott - 170mm vs 150mm.
