    Commuting has been a big help for me - two 150+ weekend rides didn't do me harm either. I'm also wondering how to get my ascent for the 3rd challenge - more that I can't decide my route. I love living in the Cape #hillsfordays

    Sexy shoes! Just a pity I can never find my size :/

    Agree man! I rode through there on Saturday and the road has level changes (like manhole covers 10cm above the road surface) and only one lane (3m max) going between Muizenberg and St James - the other half is still sand and not even ready for tarmac

    Then explain this excerpt from a CSA email; The process of sanctioning with Cycling South Africa is a pretty simple process. Yes, there is a nominal fee of R6.00 per rider associated to this. The Pedal Power Association, furthermore, state that they are liable for R35 per rider day license fee over all 35,000 entrants. This is not correct. We fail to understand why they continually make this statement, as it is not Pedal Power Association that is liable for this amount.

    So, you enter a race as a non-csa member. The event organiser charges you R35 of which R6 goes to CSA (regardless of whether you are a CSA member or not)... what happens to the other R29 that the non-CSA member pays?

    and that is the exact mentality that has us top end cyclists doing the same thing ever weekend and why we don't have competitive top end cyclists staying in SA... The only event attracting the real race snakes is the World Funride Champs - and they'll do the Tour de Boland or Cape Rouleur as an extended stay

    each member receives R20,000 medical cover as a benefit of their membership; as well as free claim administration of the Road Accident Fund should they be involved in an accident with a vehicle

    I have been following this CSA vs PPA thing for a while now, and while I initially felt 'yay, the underdog won' for PPA last year, I get the feeling (more and more) that PPA is just a business and are really just as bad as (if not worse) than the 'money grabbing' CSA. I have a membership to CSA (think it was like R120 for the year) and it gives me great benefits should I be involved in an accident or crash. PPA gives me a seeded group race number... and that's about it. Everything else comes at a premium, and even getting the discounted race entry fee, it's still a lot of money to enter the races available. What still bothers me is that PPA is charging R35 for a day license where CSA have indicated that they only charge R6 per rider per event - where does the other R29 go? I tried asking on vleisboek but PPA gave such a haphazard answer, it wasn't really clear... pretty much dodging the question. Ultimately, as I have come to realise, PPA is for the weekend warrior (because there are loads of them) and NOT for the racing snakes. PPA were good once upon a time, but they have become lazy (in my opinion) and, as an apparent club, do not cater for all their members' needs.

    CSA gave up too easily... unless Rock has it right

    The CP on the 60Km route was crap! Had a marshall standing in front of it so you barely saw it and he didn't even point out the CP! I only saw it because of the guys ahead of me slowing to single file...

    Great stuff! I will keep one or two of mine but, with a medal from every race, I collect at least 6 or 7 a year! .
  17. Tiny K
    Hi guys, just came across this post on facebook... all those guys who rant about this useless medal and rather make it a saving on entry fees - make a difference to a child in need. It will make the world of difference!

    Ok, so official answer from Shimano is, no it doesn't work. Buy 11spd compatible wheels and cassette to match.
  19. Tiny K
    Thanks guys. The only person who remotely answered my question is Longbarn Killer. I have a 10spd wheelset - I have an 11spd Campy Cassette; so all I need is the freebody... but it seems no one knows if it is even manufactured...
  20. Tiny K
    I just bought a new bike, without wheels, and want to use my old Shimano RS10 wheelset on the bike. Campagnolo groupo means new freebody, and being 11spd would have meant a new Shimano freebody - either way, it's now about which works out cheaper. QUestion is, where can I find a freebody for a Campagnolo cassette with the flower type formation of a Shimano freebody, which is 11spd compatible?

    How else do you think they seed Elite riders. I just can't find where I used to find out what my seeding was. There was a link on the old cyclelab site.

    They use national seeding - which is what PPA uses for their seeding system. So may not be PPA races perse but all timed races go into the database (as far as I know)

    This is disappointing! Just bought a new bike with Athena EPS... A power meter was next on my wish list...
  24. Tiny K
    If you want to make sure you get a 130Km ride, use the mapping option on Strava and plot your route. I do the Gran Fondo every month but never bother about the jersey - price tag is a little steep and with the added income tax, becomes rediculous... Not that the exchange rate is helping much either.
  25. Tiny K
    It is lighter than Di2 - 350g (or something there abouts) - wanted to go Red22 but the price difference is crazy! Force 22's weight is the same as the 10spd version - just over 2kg's. Di2 is 2.6Kg's
