This is why bikes get stolen, because there is someone else willing to buy from dubious sources but servicing and then reselling a week later, oef...

Bloemendal is nice because of it's accessibility during the week, for me at least as I live near by and cycle to it and the climbs are small enough to do a couple of repeats. If it wasn't for that then yeah I'd agree. Nothing special, then again I also never got the appeal of bloemendaaler. Weekends conties is a must for me, super tubes and happy hops for days.

4 Channel ABS will beat any person in straight line braking on tarmac. On some surfaces like ice ABS is less effective than just locking up your tires.

Thanks, guess I was lucky then. Will run the current setup till it goes boom and then replace everything, And keep a better eye on the chain next time

To highjack this thread and rather not create another chain thread. Why do some bike shops not want to change the chain at .5 wear? I asked my LBS to replace the chain when it was in for some other work as well and when I got the bike back they said they don't recommend swapping chain and rather ride everything till it becomes a problem and replace then. So I got the tools and replaced the chain myself, previously I've also had this response from other LBS, other though swap the chain. General internet advice seems to be to swap chain as well... I understand sometimes a cassette is to far and chains skips when replaced, but with my Sram and now Shimano I haven't personally had this happen.

That's the joke

Those poor oakes probably spent all their money on the entry instead of buying a race ready bike worth north of 150k.

Cape Epic Slide show...

Should have appealed

Was well run thanks! My only grip is the start, some sort of enforced neutral zone until we are outside of Durbanville would be great.

Yoh, fasted 99km I've ever ridden, so thanks I guess to the guys from %, A and B that started with our group, but on the other hand averaging 43km/h from the start trying to navigate circles and speedbumps until we were out side the city, no thanks. And when E caught D it became a **** show of two groups worth of riders riding in an echelon trying to stay out of the wind into oncoming traffic. Rider 608 needs a special mention for littering...

I'm in E... Ouch, o well might actually get a first in my group again

Funny how that works! I was once buzzed the official Tygerberg MTB club bakkie, while on my MTB. He must have though I looked like I enduro flick in berms
