  1. Clocked 61522km on my Spez Tarmac 2006 and currently 96928km on my Spez Venge 2016, so keep on pedalling until you hear snap, crackle and pop if you have a carbon frame😁
  2. Jip, rode an integrated handlebar and stem for about two years and loved it. All was good until I hit a car at 45kph and it cracked. Ordered another one but there was a problem with the shipping so the order never arrived. If you are in Cape Town try Theuns Goosen (Kean Bikes), he use to import their products.
  3. Logged a request for replacement online on 3 July 2023 under warranty/loyalty policy. They shipped from Japan and I received it on 29 July 2023.
  4. Got this on one of our whatsapp groups. Dont have anymore info. Just that it happened today. "Hi all, just a heads up... we were 2 cyclists gunpointed today at about 1pm at Kayamandi outside Stellenbosch. Road was busy with traffic in both directions and it didnt bother them. Luckily only a cellphone taken. It happens faster than you think. Be vigilant and take care out there."
  5. If you tension the spokes incorrectly with your diy effort, you're right back where you started.
  6. I would suggest replacing the spokes as well seeing that they are in any event going to have to rebuild the wheel. I replaced my rear wheel's nipples with brass and now the spokes are breaking one by one. Aparently because they were tensioned before the nipples were replaced, so just do both and you will save yourself alot of fustration and money in the long run.
  7. On the 820 the name, speed and distance is on the previous screen where all your active grouptrack connections are listed. On the display map itself only the initials of your connections are shown.
  8. I use an 820edge and on the grouptrack screen you can zoom in if you hold the screen for a second or two, then a +and- appears. Press + to zoom in and - to zoom out. Don't know if this helps you with your problem
  9. Jip the one I have is da bomb???? I dont want to know what those attackers went through after I sprayed them, but I'm sure they will think twice next time if that orange can comes out????????????
  10. Jip its clear, just be alert as you approach for any characters that might be after your bike????
  11. Jip gearing into the right gear beforehand is important, with the adrenalin rush from the attack you might even get the KOM????
  12. Being alert is the thing, dont take anything as being a coincidence???? Prepare even if it might not be people looking to attack you, but if something does happen your ready. Cycling past Kayamandi these days I take out my pepperspray everytime I am about a kilometer from the hotspot and I even show them I have it in my hand????
  13. It is the orange one that can reach up to 5metres if you hold the trigger in for a couple of seconds, but yes the wind was pumping so I guess it was inevitable that I would get some. At least it helped me to get well clear of them unscathed????????
