I have a bag of cycling kit and a few helmets - any chance this chance this team is still looking for gear?

For what it's worth, we arrived at 9.30am. Found parking quite easily and was expecting more traffic than what we encountered to get in.

We're the agents for SP Connect and there are a number of great solutions for phone specifc as well as universal mounting options for bicycle, motorbike and car. Chris( @Zebra ) and his team at Flying Brick are a great retail store with knowledgeable staff who will be able to offer good information and what might be a solution for you. P.S. iPhone 17 has just arrived and going out soon

Good luck @Eddie Stafford hope that you have an amazing ride. ASS MAGIC has partnered with the event this year, it's a long way and important to keep the riders comfortable! Link to the event here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DKOtC0zsz-6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Hi @PedalGoat our business is the importer of the SP Connect phone mounting system. We have phone specific cases and universal clamps or sleeves with various mounting options. Check out: https://sp-connect.co.za/ and shout if you have any further questions. Not able to advise on sensor unfortunately.

We may be biased, but we think they are legit and we like them, may have something to do with the fact that they stock a bad ASS chamois cream: https://www.merlincycles.com/search?w=ass+magic

Yes they certainly are, they also have a brick and mortar retail store in Hillcrest. Couple photos of their shop on their Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/biket.co.za/

Hi Shebeen. The Imbi Bike Saver was a product/brand of BIKALOT, without being able to go into the specifics of it here, we have a deal with Thule and where they now produce and sell the Thule Bike Protector.

See above post - you could alternatively try Mellow Velo

Hi Bira. Yes we did do a deal with Thule on this product so it is now exclusively available through them. If you don't come right, have a look at Mellow Velo cycles in Fourways, they had a set or two in store when i was there last in June.

Important consideration when using a gel type product/something with very high carb content is that often your gut needs to be trained in order to be able to handle the high amount of carbs because if you're not 'used to it', it can also cause GI distress. One blog talking to this on the Cadence site if of interest: https://www.cadencenutrition.com/blogs/news/training-your-gut-what-should-i-eat-on-race-day

Be mindful of fibre content if using these for racing/high intensity efforts

Hi @KNmtb If you're having trouble cleaning your helmet, we do have a new product on the market which is intended primarily for kit. It is an Enzyme Based wash, which is particularly effective in breaking down bacteria. It is also pH neutral so shouldn't irritate your skin, nor damage the helmet in any way. If you don't come right with some form of skin treatment, it could be worth having a look at: https://assmagic.co.za/products/ass-magic-kit-wash-1l

Couple of posts on the Cadence site which may be of interest: https://www.cadencenutrition.com/blogs/news *disclaimer we distribute the brand Keep it simple, the right carbs are your friend and you need to train your gut to be able to tolerate higher amounts of carb.
