For the record JXV, have used a shim supplied by Lyne on my tallboy 3. This enabled the use of the Lyne 30.9mm diameter dropper post (150mm travel, internal routing) in my 31.6mm seatpost.

Room Service - With a saddle like that... must be riding on the road?

I don't see any mention of tyre pressure? Whether one uses Arch or Flow rims, if your tyre pressure is too low for your body weight and speed flying down a rocky descent, then your rim will be dented. Particularly the rear wheel.

MTB 40 km monster was great! congratulations to the organisers

Yes, since Garmin Express installed, I can no longer upload from Edge500 into Strava. Clicking on the Strava upload and Garmin prompts for the installation of Garmin communicator repeatedly. So I now upload into Strava via a file from Edge 500. This only since Garmin express installed.

SAPS have been in contact with all parties. Statements have been made and charge laid. It is probaby best not to undermine the process by posting detail at this stage.

The Kharmann Ghia is no longer parked in Kloof Rd. The SAPS detective involved has been making progress.

Thanks Gerlach. Any info will help. There is a case open with SAPS

Thanks peevee. see pics - reg is CW43511, not CA.

The cyclist is ok. lots of bruises on body and face, 6 stitches under chin. He was freewheeling down kloof road towards sea point... at about 06:20 am. A Kharmann Ghia was driving up in opposite direction. The driver did a sudden right turn. Cyclist had no chance to avoid. Cyclist was still conscious and driver got out to check... cyclist smelt alcohol and mentioned he was going to call police... Driver abandoned car and fled scene. Another cyclist was first on scene... she was a doctor and helped.. along with another cyclist who kindly phoned ambulance assistance. Bike destroyed.

Looking for 2 Argus cycle tour entries - will substitute

Hi Mackem, have had similar problem with my Edge 500 where the blue rubber cover for the USB port "fell off" and after a while, the damp eventually got in and corroded the connections. Thereafter was not able to access data off the Edge. My Edge was less than 1 year old, so was replaced under warranty. The tech at Garmin tried to get data off for me but not successful. You could try and check that all USB points on male and female side of USB are ok - maybe there is an obvious misalignment. Also try and change USB cable, in case the cable is the problem.

Berg and Bush track is "proper mountain biking" and leaves both w2w and sani2c in the dust...

KCNC make a 11-38T MTB cassette.... but at a cost. Will be cheaper if you can get a replacement front 22T chainring to replace the 24T?

DJR - please confirm the laminating... did Tokai laminate your MyAccess card?? Reason I ask as got my level 3 activity card from strand street and they don't aminate the card but do provide a cover if there is stock of the covers..... Went across the road to Parkade Print and they laminated card for R3. BTW, service at Strand street was fine, no problem.

@2Nutz events develop quickly and calls need to be made on the fly. Police not always available. Also could be dealing with firearms as per the recent case of BMW vehicle sale off Gumtree. He has a number of names and Neil was not one used.

@StevieL I have the serial number. Plus there are a number of unique items on the bike (borrowed side entry bottle cage. Left gripshift is old 3x10, right is new 2x10, rear shock is new cable remote Fox CTD - which does not come standard with the frame etc etc). I can't give too many details out at this stage as the police are, in theory, still going to arrest the trailer trash couple but bike was advertised on Gumtree same evening as it was stolen. Gumtree advert was short on details obviously.Thereafter it was a case of engaging and setting up a meeting.

Retrieved my bike. Reverse sting after it was advertised on Gumtree

santa cruz tallboy carbon blue stolen out of my garage thursday 4 october in milnerton cape town between 18:30 and 19:30. Pic attached.

Seems mostly positive comments on Hub. However a few people I spoke with unhappy re trying to bypass slower riders, long wait on hellshoogte, timing, lack of signage to get to start... The joining up of routes prematurely is not cool and can result in many avoiding the event?
