I don't think Adidas bring Five Tens into SA any more. Ride Concepts are an excellent alternative.

I almost bought the same thing from them last week, but I wasn't sure about the site. The price seemed almost too good to be true. I ended up buying one from Takealot. It cost a lot more, but I paid for most of it with eBucks.

I ordered from Bike24 a while back with shipping also via DHL. 2 Months later, SAPO delivered the order to my door. I had to pay the VAT / duties in cash to the driver - all properly documented.

5 June is mentioned as well: "Objections can be sent to Siphumelelo@siteplan.co.za. Ref Prospecting Right DMRE Ref WC 10350 PR - Portion Farm 1098. The cut off date for comments etc is 5 th June, 2021! Please let us stand together in this proposed drastic change in our environment and register NOW!!!"

I don't think they are related to the mining. Yes, unfortunately a bunch of mountain bikers objecting to losing a cycling trail will not affect the decision in any way. However, Cape Nature is apparently busy with an objection and the Renosterveld Trust is also getting involved.

Here is an example of a rotor that should only be used with resin pads. https://www.evobikes.co.za/product/shimano-center-lock-disc-brake-rotor-160-mm-sm-rt30-resin/

As of January 2021, cheques are no longer an acceptable form of payment in South Africa and are also not accepted by any banks. At least that scam route is closed now.

They will have collection available on the morning, but it is discouraged. Here is a post from their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Paarlmtbchallenge/posts/244756004066751 Text below for those not on FB. Late Entries and Number CollectionWe have been inundated with requests for late entries as many missed the boat , and then a few requests to collect their numbers at the start on the morning for those coming from out of town on the day . Re Number Collection:We are trying our absolute best to avoid clustered crowds as Covid-19 restrictions are still in place . Having long ques on the morning of people collecting numbers are not allowed, therefore collection has been divided into 2 days at Specialized Paarl for the protection of entrants. We will have a table at the start on the morning with the numbers not collected at number collection on the Thursday and Friday . If your ONLY option is to collect on the morning then your number will be there ( you do this as your own risk, and please don't forget your signed covid form ) . We just hope that people are considerate and try and collect this week to help with social distancing . We have worked so hard to make this event possible and avoid any risks . Re Late Entries: From the start we have tried to make it as clear as possible that entries are VERY limited due to covid restrictions .In the last few weeks we posted constant reminders through the media and on social media about entries filling up fast . We sent out reminders to those who had registered but not paid and again reminded people to enter . As soon as our limit on entries under current covid level were reached we had no option but to close the portal .More than this we unfortunately could not do . As event organisers we would love nothing more than to have thousands of people enjoying the Paarl MTB , it would sure help towards the extensive expenses of the event .But this is just not allowed and we trust that if you never managed to get a entry you will understand . We thank everyone for all the support and assistance to make this event possible in these very trying times and come Saturday , assure everyone we will do our absolute best to make it a special day out for everyone .

The reviews on amazon might help. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07V2Z7LZ3

R699 seems like quite a good price for the Xoss G+ https://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/marvel-gps-computer-xoss-g

I ordered 2 pairs of cycling tights from them at the beginning of March. Each one was shipped separately (2 different sizes) and I received them a couple of days apart about 2 weeks later. They were delivered to my door by Fastway couriers and there were no extra costs to be paid. They were shipped from China.

It won't count towards total points. I don't think it counts towards the weekly goal either, I did mine on a Saturday morning, and nothing appeared on my goal, so I still had to do my regular activities that week to get my points.

What is a qualifying Discovery bank account? Is it any of the accounts, or just the ones that have a card / monthly fee?

Only problem is that they don't have the 530.

On Sportsmans Warehouse website, only the Edge models that are bundled with a HR strap have the Vitality logo, so presumably yes. Phone Discovery to confirm though.

My shoes had clear laces, but when I got my single replacement lace it was black. With their new system of including a photo, they probably won't send another to match.

A google search shows age 40 as the limit, but once you click on the link it says 60. It must be a recent change that google hasn't picked up yet.

Ohhh, If it says one diamond will expire this week, then you have until midnight Tuesday to use it.

It all depends on who it is. My Cape Union Mart voucher was valid for about two weeks and Loot was about 3 months.

My points fro Tuesday last week had still not pulled through to the rewards, but a 2 minute phone call to Discovery this morning got that sorted out. Excellent service from them.

It's happened to me a few times, but this time was the longest that it took to finally show my goal which was only this morning. Any activities done before the goal showed will take a while (few hours or up to a day or 2) to reflect on the rewards. As long as the activity shows on the total points log, they will eventually filter through to the rewards.

Is that in the app? Mine still only has 2 circles and it is supposedly the latest update as at 27 March. Edit: Now my phone found an update and installed the 3 circle version.

Five Ten size UK10 have always fitted me perfectly until the last 2 pairs I bought after Adidas came in. Those are on the small side. One pair I can still wear, but the other is way too small; probably more a UK9.

You just have to make sure to put in some effort. There is also a 1000 point annual limit on activities with a 60-69% heart rate.
