After 8 years, I'm no longer with Momentum. Switched to Sanlam life insurance. Paying a bit more, but I don't have to jump through hoops each month, and my cover is better. The thing is with multiply, it's all fun and games if you are fit and healthy. But once that has gone out the window and when you need the cover the most, it is then when you will be paying through your ears

Must say Momentum is losing me as a client for my life and disability cover. After forcing me the last couple of years to take more products from them to get enough discount, they went to far now. Got a Sanlam quote and in the long run seems to be a lot better option. Any recommendations for other companies?

Yeah the new 2024 system will have a negative affect on my decision to stay with Multiply. I will only be able to hit tier 2, so my premium will fall from 60% in 2023 to 35% in 2024

You are not allowed to ride with these bars in races as far as I know.

Yes I know. That's why the deciding factor was what my resting HR would be the night before the race. It was fine and would not take any risks

I was properly peeved at the finish. Not even a water or any kind of drink after doing such an event. Did 5 in a row between 2011 and 2015, and this was my first one after 7 years. This event has taken a huge hit regarding catering for their clients. Also made a loud unhappy comment when Wikus walked past us about this.

I had a cold that showed up early the morning Wednesday before the race. Went to the doctor and she gave me a three day course antibiotics and was advised not to ride. Friday morning I started to take a turn in the right direction, and with only mild symptoms above the chest and a low resting heart rate, I decided to pack my bike and kit as if we were going to ride. On route to Willowmore our spirits were high and the evening before the race I knew I was going to start. Race morning my vitals were OK and we started at 7:10. The light rain, mud and very strong icy cold wind had us fighting for every kilometer for the first 2-3 hours only averaging 14km/h. We could not bunch up or even sit in your partners slip as it was not worth getting all that mud in your face. At checkpoint 1 the spirits were low and you can see everyone around us had a very tough time getting there as well as it was still a very light rain falling and icy cold. Between checkpoint 1 and 2 I started to really suffer with my heart rate not recovering at all. HR was staying between 75% and 80% at a very easy pace. At checkpoint 2 it was still raining and I almost pulled the plug. We were wet, cold and covered in mud. Our bikes looked like someone submerged it in a bath full of flowing mud. It was everywhere and in between everything. We waited in the que for 15min to pressure wash all the mud of our drivetrains, had a something to eat and decided to try and push for CP 3. The rain stopped shortly after CP 2, and I could feel my body slowly but surely starting to recover. Started making jokes again and we had a lekker very easy ride to CP 3. At CP 3 you could see the people around us starting to enjoy the ride and life again for what was a terrible ride thus far. Between CP 3 and 4 the weather was cold but no real wind or rain. Fangs and MAC was tough as always, but managed to ride it out at a very very slow pace. We had the last of the hot dogs at Bergplaas, had a full kit change, put on our lights and off we went. First time descending MAC in daylight. WOW it was fun! We flew down there and had a moerse jol and by now we could ride a decent pace and my body was getting better and better. It was easy miles between CP 4 and 5 until the start of Neverender. The clay mud sticking to everything was incredibly tough. Stopping every now and again to scrape the mud of our tires with rocks just to get it turning again. The last 52km was brutal and was not expecting this kind of clay mud and wet roads. It was a battle even greater than the start of this event. Finished in 16:50 and was TB number 6 for me. By far the toughest one of them all, finishing 3 hours behind the worst time we thought we were going to ride. Well done to all who finished or even tried to take on this event in such conditions. 💪

LOL I hear you. Yeah by the looks of it a later start at 10:00 might be the best option

Yoh baggies thats soaked in water.... I would rather wear something that dries out quicker.

We are riding this weekend and it really does not look good at all. Lots of widespread rain predicted for Willowmore right through to Jbay. With a maximum of 9 degrees predicted for Willowmore, 9 for Bergplaas and 12 degrees for Patensie with a chance of rain 70% throughout the day and 40% at night... Hard to get motivation to do this event.

I did not post any of your personal details and was asking for advise. Very aggressive and threatening. That's far from the truth and with your permission I can post screenshots of our conversation?

I did, but the conversation came to a halt when he would not refund me the fork until he has it in his hands and inspected it for damages... He also told me I'm lucky that he is willing to refund me without shipping charges. Just going to buy the lockout lever and write a negative review, Thanks for the replies.

No I did not as the he had two positive ratings. Seller will only refund me without shipping costs and only when he receives the fork back. Thanks will let you know.

Hi Hubbers Need some advise and help. Bought a Reba fork Monday and the add title reads, Reba RL 120mm with remote lockout. Got the fork today and there is no remote lockout included. Contacted the seller and he says that the add does not state that it comes with a OneLoc or Twistloc... Am I reading this wrong or what must I do?

Also had problems with Tickr in the past and still do. Get a Garmin
