  1. What about the rook Scout. Love mine and see there are a few on sale
  2. Not everyone has that budget. But i use this when i do Audax rides. and it works https://www.takealot.com/adjustable-360-rotatable-bicycle-mirror-for-handlebars/PLID73895109
  3. Hit by car. however untill info is out suggest refrain from speculation.
  4. Remember. during riding, especially long rides. feet dent to swell a bit and then adds pressure that could be seen as"hot feeling" Also sometime we tend to tighten to much. Socks makes a big diffrence. Your feet needs some space to swell etc. Hope it helps.
  5. a bit late to this topic but had my solution installed in 2019. 3kva + 4 x 100ah 12v lead accid. Last year added 2 panels to assist during daytime to charge. After 3 years the batteries did not hold charge but that was expected. Swapped the 4 x 100h for 2 x 12v 200ah Litium. From research and expiernec gel prices are so high now and i got litium. Pricing i worked out for s similar system now around 35k excluding installationa nd wiring etc. Mine has COC and seprate db board so dont realy know it is loadshedding Be carefull . many as the installer called tehm (Bakkie brigades) jumping on teh wagon and not clealy explaing or selling correct solution.
  6. Silver back on tehfront
  7. extreme lights run on high for over 4 hours. with the large batter pack. Service is excellent and can have light repaired i something goes wrong. No brainer
  8. we could last time but found Noble village awesome. some nice pizza afer wards and from there tot he top was 60km on the dot. Payed car guard 10 buck
  9. i used them on the gravel bike. they are awsome. centurato
  10. https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/mtb-reviews Only site i use
  11. Sondela camping trip. No bikes were harmed
  12. Pirelli Cinturato 45-622 Gravel Mixed Tyre Had no issue including a miss adventure at the wrong side of Vangaalen wth all those dewil thorns. Perhaps a pressure issue as i tend to be a bit on the hard side but have never had issue either GB or MTB FYI check take-a-lot see they have stock
  13. why i have insurance. if they want it they will take it. doesn't mean i want it back. thought i would share.
  14. use that hatc rack on wifes I10 no issues Use ball rack one on bakkie No issues Same as camping if you dont do it right then it will damage. had no issues at all
  15. doing the grit this year but also a Non finisher of the 2019 hell at 875km. did many many miles in prep and my body just gave in. but as i also do audax rides it helped my training. Last year was set to do the 600km after doing teh 200 300 400 Audax and at 140 my mind went Snap and said. WTF and it was the first time i had to call a friend to come and fetch me. I put it of to not feeling well en a many excuses but it was just that my mind said nope. However. for Me as everyone is different. I did to may long rides and can not get myself now to do even 60km ride. as someone who went lets go do 200km i know cant face that. I finally got myself right and did the rapah 500 in 4 days with a 230km and 150km ride chucked in and that was the final straw. For this year haven't even hit 1000km yet and where i use to look forward to a 8+ hour ride now i cant even get myself to go do a 3 hour one. Think fast one on the gravel bike has been my longest ride this year. It is a mental thing and it is real. so be car full. probably doing the grit with little long distance training and know it is going to hurt but that is what it is. But as i ramble on be careful the long stuff can bit hard and it is not fitness related. an they leave scars that takes time
