  1. Yip, results up on http://www.magaliesadventure.co.za
  2. Can't begin to imagine what Evan must have gone through!!!!! Very happy to hear she is safe.
  3. :-( RIP and lots of White Light to all those left behind!
  4. WooHoo! Finally fixed my problem! See I posted on this thread ages ago and it's been revived! Changed pads, Rotors, sanded, did setup....did everything to no avail!!!! My Elixir R's continued to have a mind of their own and drive me f@..ing barmy! Finally found a solution one week before Sani2C. Couldn't take it anymore! Now have a dead quiet sharp as razors and what a pleasure to use set of XT's!!!! Mate did the same, so I have two sets of Elixir R's going cheap if anyone's interested.....
  5. Brilliant, puts me right back on the route!!! Might have missed it, but are you going to put up Day 1 & 2? Reason being, showed my wife your Day 3 vid and she reckons it looks all downhill!!! :-)
  6. I don't know what frame you have, but Carbon is not meant to be hung by the frame! I have the Thule G2 or 3 for the tow bar and the roof rack system for 4 bikes like in the 2nd image with the bar that clamps on the down bar and leaves the wheels on! Brilliant! 30 seconds to load my bike and never had a problem!
  7. I had a few descriptive words for "Clint" during that climb!???????????????? ????
  8. It's fake bud! The date of payment differs from the reference number embedded date (April vs. May), so it's not even an intelligent con-man, and besides, I don't give a s#it what they demand, no release of goods until the money reflects in the bank!!!!
  9. Eish! Sorry to hear that!
  10. :clap: Wow! At last someone's come up with a tangible solution to this nightmare! How long has this debacle been going on? The way it's been going, the only way it'll end is when the culprit is caught by a cyclist and has the cr@p beaten out of him, there'll be arrests and blowback! Not the best solution, is it? I'm a biker and a cyclist, and saw the carnage between Glenburn and Kloofzicht yesterday morning. Felt very sad and have been thinking about it. The only way to try and resolve this conflict is to try an education policy by getting a group of cyclists to give up their Sat/Sun morning rides, being on the road at the entrances to the route and talking to all cyclists for a couple of weeks. Put up some plastic awareness signs, a gazebo etc. Talk to cyclists at start points (Broadacres, outside the Caves, the T-Junction at Valverde etc) Chat to ThinkBike Ground Team about helping out. See if Mogale Metro won't get involved for a finite period and show support in issuing warnings/fines. Not all weekend riders are on The Hub, so a physical presence on the day is needed to create awareness of a concerted effort to fix this problem. Use it/loseit, but I can't think of any other way to resolve this. All I do know is it's going to end badly if something isn't done. My 2c worth.
  11. Used Jannie a lot as well. Great service and good quality!

  13. I've spoken to the organisers, and the results will be up later today. There was a new timing system used which has huge potential, but a few teething issues.
  14. A lot of "manpower" and manouvering and the truck finally managed to reverse in and hook the showers at an angle, so the car wasn't bounced or touched!!
  15. Good sticking up for 29'ers, but this oke WAS w@nking!!!!!!
