That error is for the magnet. Its likely just out of position. Check if it lines up with the sensor, if not then realign

In CCS defense, I've received possibly the best service compared to all agents in SA. If they dont have stock of the replacement, you get the next 1 up. Their turn around time has also been phenomenal, generally 24 hours

CapeGroSports are the only official Vision agent in SA. Best to contact Vision directly, they know of the challenges in SA with the local agent and will likely sell to you directly. I had to do that after local agent wouldn't take my calls, respond to my emails or anything while I was looking for a replacement axle.

I was just one of the lucky ones to get punctured 🤣 nevertheless a big thanks for you and the team, and yes, didn't see any gravel on the route so must have been one of the laaities from the night before.

Got a few suggestions : 1. Now I know this may be a big ask, but would it be possible, at least within the Durbanville suburb streets, to have a street sweeper go through before the race? Lots of smashed glass in the road, I was unfortunate to puncture 3 times before I got out of Durbanville, specifically once on Koeberg Rd just past the sports grounds and then twice in Pretoria Way. 2. Some shade at the finish line. Most riders dont ride back to the racecourse immediately and want to cool down for 5 or 10 minutes. Fortunately it wasnt a hot day but previous years had been scorching. 3. Some bike stands at the racecourse would be nice. Tons of bikes laying around on the ground made it a tad of a schlep to move through. Otherwise, was a fantastic event, had tons of fun and will be there next year.

Just a side note here. The courier truck was hijacked in Milnerton

Another good option is the Silverback Spyke 26"

Got myself the Red-E Aura open air earphones for my solo rides. Sound quality is pretty good. Cant compete against something in ear but at least I can hear my surrounds while listening to music and not having to force those who I pass or pass me to hear my music either.

Much appreciated. I will chat with the team, must have been a mistake. I can assure you that Cycle Lab will in fact transfer your bike between stores, for a fee of course to cover labour, packaging and transport.

Can you recall who you spoke to?

And this is exactly the reason why I suffered so much up Adderley, well not only that, mainly because I'm unfit, but I don't like to talk about that, nevertheless, would like to see that 'action' shot.

Something to note that a lot of people dont know. Helmets expire, generally 3 - 5 years from production date. Im not 100% certain of the chemistry behind it but your chances of injury increase the older the helmet it due to age of the material. Also something to bare in mind, if you drop your helmet, the point at which hit the ground becomes compromised and weakens the helmet quite substantially. Another point, cost of a helmet shouldn't determine level of protection. Sure, some more expensive helmets have additional technologies such as MIPs. For instance a Scott Supra helmet, priced between R500 - R1000 depending where you shop, is great bang for buck but will also do a fantastic job protecting your noggin. Now im not saying go to Game and buy a Totem / Raleigh helmet for R100, obviously dont, but sticking to known brands will keep you safe.

Unfortunately not. OP's warranty expired in 2021 with Silverback. Im not sure what what the legalities are, but I think OP might have a leg to stand on with the store he bought it from as OP was given the impression that it had a life time warranty. That would be a difficult case to prove though as OP would need to give evidence that the store said it came with a lifetime warranty.
