  1. Received from the zim office Yes indeed you may purchase 1 bike. Single speed Universal black is US$210 and 6 speed Charger silver is US$225. Am i missing something here?
  2. Mine has done Rain hail Mud and this weekend the 60km Fast one with all the mud and still going
  3. So have now received some feedback Interesting We do not do the Buffalo Bicycle any longer. We stopped doing it in 2016. It weighs 22kg and some parts started failing at about 5000km. We designed our own bicycle, built our own factories in South Africa. Bicycle is now 16kg and parts last more than 20,000km.
  4. Have ryder MArathon and like the energizer bunny keeps going Give me 18 hours on audax rides
  5. In same boat now So you can only buy 10 at a time and cost is Multiples of 10 only. R4950.00 each including VAT. Incudes Bicycle plus accessories (helmet, pump, cable lock, tools spare tube, spare brake blocks, puncture repair kit). ExWorks Qhubeka facility Douglasdale Johannesburg. seems the charity has gone out and now become more commercial. Why not sell individual bikes.
  6. Just want to get one and plan some marketing. I work for a german company that already sponsers Mercy Ships Africa and as we focus on Africa i want to do some projects to help locally but also when i travel in Africa. For now only need one. But Cant believe they have cut out individual sales as it makes no sense. I have contacted the branch offices in Kenya and Zim already and waiting their feedback as I have a small budget but have in the past done similar when i am in country
  7. Trying to buy one Any one know where i can get one? For a few projects i am working on According to them they are not selling at the moment. makes no sense so is there an alternative or any one know where i can get one or a few Thanks Update: Highly disappointed: You can not buy individual bikes anymore and they only sell in batches of 10. so anyone wanting to help a gardener or individual can not unless you want to drop 50k Also the price has gone up from the 2850 to 5k So any one know of an alternative
  8. On the second technical decent The rocky one had a few behind me and as soon as i could i stopped and let them past as on the GB was a bit sketchy. once they were pass i ended up sticking to them as i could see some of the gnarly bits and could follow some lines. What was strange guys would boom past an then i would catch them on the climbs. and i run a 34front /30 back gear. But all was good. I think some guys liked to stick behind on some sections as they were getting the smooth lines. When you want a smooth line follow the GB

    RIFLE

    Hi perhaps someone can help me Have unwanted gift PCP air rifle that I want to sell Jkhan Nobless 5.5 Pop me a message or if anyone knows someone. give me a DM
  10. No issues. on the SB can go up to 55's but the Centurato's clear mud of by magic. unbelievable
  11. We had one slip on the 60. saw a board that was down and put it back up as it had fallen over. had a choice of left or straight. was in Eye side halfway up one of the climbs. Friend that did the 60 also went wrong
  12. You were on the Titan? Saw only 4 gravel bikes. 2 Slings 1 titan 1 Sliver-back (ME)
  13. Did the 60 on the Gravel Bike and had some funny looks. The technical sections were brutal as no suspension meant a long squat on the downhill pieces. Not sure i would say it was gravel bike friendly but like you say i ride mine on anything. Silverback Siablo GB Pirreli Centurato 700 x 45 C 52/34 11/30
  14. Do agree to a point. down side with phones are always going to be battery life. Like Whats-app live tracking. great but eats battery life and phones also dependent on Cell towers. GPS dependent of satellites. And then if you OTB not sure phones gonna like that much
  15. For me Lezyne by far. Lezyne can go portrait or landscape depends on you but below might help https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2021/11/best-cycling-gps-computers-recommendations.html My two picks here are the Lezyne Mega-XL & Garmin Edge 130 Plus There were almost no new launches in this category this past year, only removals. Previously I included the Stages Dash L10 in here, but that’s been discontinued, leaving previously just Lezyne. But the Edge 130 series prices have crept down while Lezyne’s have mostly stayed the same (fair enough). We’ve got the Lezyne Mega-XL at $199. Lezyne has like 38 different models between $100 and $200, I tried to explain it all here a few years ago, and then they added more. They’ve all got minor nuances. These units can do basic mapping, and pull in routes from sources like Komoot, as well as legit turn by turn navigation in terms of things like saying ‘Left on Maple Street’. The Lezyne units support both ANT+ & Bluetooth Smart. And as I write this, the Lezyne Mega-XL Yellow Submarine Edition is 35% off at $129. Meanwhile, the Edge 130 Plus sits at $199 normally, but is $149 right now. Most notably, it’s tiny. A fraction the size of the Lezyne. Of course, it doesn’t have the full mapping like the Lezyne, but does have breadcrumb routing and Strava Live Segments. It also has Garmin’s ClimbPro in it, which shows the details about the current climb you’re on. The Edge 130 Plus also has mountain bike metrics (such as grit/flow/jumps), as well as LiveTrack showing your planned course/route. Probably the biggest difference aside from mapping between this unit and the Lezyne is the app/ecosystem polish, where Garmin is a fair bit ahead of Lezyne. But figuring out which feature is most valuable to you is key. Finally, it’s worthwhile noting that the Sigma ROX 2.0 & ROX 4.0 at least deserve an honorable mention in here, at $90 and under (and a bit less in Europe), they include turn by turn routing from Komoot, as well as ANT+ & Bluetooth Smart sensor integration for the 4.0 edition. Seriously, it’s pretty impressive. I just haven’t spent as much time as I’d love to with them to root out any quirks.
  16. Looked and cant find anything in our market that compares price for features. add 48 battery life.
  17. Some good advice. 1: What is your budget 2: What is going tobe main use: Data, HR, Power Meter, Turn bu turn etc. What do you expect to ride. Short or long distances. I am not a fan off garmin: Would buy anything else before considering Garmin. Including Mapbook Using lexyne for many years Best battery life and functions (Bang for Back) and also good after sales.
