First day out on the track. Wow the banks are a whole lot steeper up close. No dismounts so that's a winner. Legs took a beating and definitely need to work on fitness! A lot of fun.

So always been keen to try and ride track. Took the plunge and bought a bike. Now looking for useful tips from you gifted hubbers, done lots of riding now just to hit the track, so to speak. All advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks - looked for his details last night. This for his number. Andre

Very keen to try my hand at track cycling. What advice on frame sizes? Ride a 56cm road bike. Any other advice?

Sort of a neighbourhood watch cycle group - great idea, if used responsibly.

I ride Argon, had 2 cervelos and probably would buy another Argon!

I race with zipp 808's, race weight 88kgs at 189cm. The finish at the Amashova last yr, down from Tollgate Bridge was hectic, otherwise love them and race with them most of the time. Thought about selling them, but then when u race them.... BIG SMILE!

Sorry to read.

Super J - thanks for useful feedback. I think I am going to go that way. Appreciated.

Hi hubbers Please share info on the use of rollers - easy to use? Climbing on and off? Training? or just for warm up? Thanks

Morning All Was looking at dates for next years race.... and then, I see race cost has increased from R3200 to R3750. Some 17% increase - wow! Who of us has received a 17% increase this year / decade? Leaves one pondering!

This am was pure bliss.... Dbn was stunning. A little frantic up to the Sharks Board and the HR was thru the roof. The group rode responsibly..... just our driver needs to ensure his car starts next time he is driving back-up. At this time of the year we may need to pass the hat around so he gets a service.... This is the way to start your day! Bring on tomorrrow!

Hi all Just buying a 29er and only ridden the bike once. What is the verdict = with the wider bars, do you all still use bar ends for climbing or with the width, do you opt not to? Thanks

Thanks everyone.

Hi Hubbers What brands are recommended ito recovery compression garments - "leggings" etc. Looking to acquire. Thanks

Hubbers Solution - International Power Products in Ctn - repair battery R285 cost, 1 day turnaround time. Hassle free!! Big thumbs up.

Hubbers - hope u can help. Purchased X3 blackburn light in 2007 - great light, but sadly battery does not hold charge for very long anymore. Are there options to use another battery pack? Possibly smaller one too? I have spoken to agents (Omnico)and await their feedback. Please see pic Any help would be appreciated - light is in perfect working condition and so would be sad to see it "lost". Thanks

Question - why do hubbers advertise something for sale and then just disappear off the face of the earth? Should this not warrant a "negative" rating on the marketplace scoring? One thing is for sure, it is very irritating. What you say?

very moving story! Been hit by car twice.... I think I can say I know what it feels like to be given another go.... Enjoy every second!

Once you used to it, ride on empty tummy and just water. Ride duration approx 2 hours and then eat straight away. Weekends - take something with and keep fuelled - duration 3 - 3.30hours. Drink a combination of energy drink (electrolyte replacement) and water. Eat afterwards.

During the week start at 4.10am, weekends say 5.30am Allows for 2h15 ride during the week and longer weekends. Also helps with sleeping! The biggest factors for me - safety, no traffic, not intefering with family life - young kids etc. During winter is harder - we must have looked like gorillas in the mist this am, but v good lights. Also allows one to train on empty tummy and burn fat... but only try when you used to it. C U on the road early.
