  1. The price you see, before checkout (including transport) is excludes customs VAT (ATV). So customs vat = [FOB value + 10%] * 15%, and then handling fees and whatever else the local agents charge. Or if there are duties payable, it would be added to the FOB value before applying the 10% and 15% calculation.
  2. A following car can help, but isn’t a guarantee for safety. A few years ago, four club mates were hit from behind (luckily only bikes were damaged, and a few emotional scars). That was after the drunken driver hit our back up car first, swerved off the road, then back on, and into the back of the group; the club car was a write off. Luckily his speed was scrubbed from hitting the car before he came to a complete stop.
  3. I’ve been using an Apple TV with an old VGA monitor (connected with a HDMI-VGA converter). Works flawlessly, except for the obligatory screenshot that is not possible.
  4. I went the other way… back to a 2x11 setup; call it highveld and coastal gearing. For a roadie, or rather my type of riding, I prefer smaller jumps between gears. The “compact” cassette better allows for that. LBS helped with a second hand shifter and derailleur, and then new cassette, chain, two chainrings, cables housing and labour. Was around the R4k mark, I think. Was difficult to be exact as I initially when there to buy a new wheelset (incl. tyres, slime and labour) which the cost was known (min of meer).
  5. Poggie’s weather conditions
  6. I use my 2007 Schwinn (full carbon, DA-10s gruppo); STIs were replaced with Ultegra by Grumpy, when he was still operating out of Rietvlei. He serviced it last year to ensure that I can take it outside whenever needed, as it suffered some IDT abuse for the last 8 years. New bar tape, new shift cables and cable housing, bearings in the front wheel, a new cassette (for outdoor use, as I had already had a new one on the Kickr), and a service on the pedals. Brake hoods were done early last year. So the bike is back in “mint condition”, or “almost new”. He even threw in a “clean & wax” for my chain, which has lasted quite a few rides, as promised.
  7. Website, so yes… Chrome
  8. The website shows this, so I would say, “yes”.

  10. Change message to massage.
  11. I’ll take a photo this afternoon of my bike with the same cable-to-hydraulic setup. It has a Garmin mount, and an attachment for a light. There are Garmin mounts with the GoPro mount, but I bought eh bike as is, so not sure what’s available locally. Here are some pics showing the setup. edit: the additional pics as promised.
  12. Perhaps edit your original post and thread title, to get the correct message across that you require a massage, otherwise it will rub off on others incorrectly.
  13. Happy New Year to all my tjaainahs (and tjommies). Enjoy the flied wice and muiji (rice wine)
  14. Phew! I have three first names; does that make me safe in your view? 😬😂
  15. No Tamboekiesfontein today, we stayed on the straight and narrow path. A fantastic day out in favourable conditions for almost any activity, except sailing and windsurfing.
