  1. There's a great deal going where you can save an additional R2299 by not buying that thing altogether!
  2. Nino looks like he's gone 10 rounds! Only 7 more days to go.
  3. There's also the small matter of $60m that Honda contributes to McLaren's budget
  4. 2 x Water Bottle mounts. Below downtube and in the usual spot in the main triangle.
  5. How many R700's do you need to make to pay for warehousing, warranty, carrying stock, staff, advertising, taxes, electricity, etc, etc, etc.
  6. Hehe, get the reference now. True, that can happen. Can also happen with a GPS, cellphone (did someone say Samsung?!) or light. Anything with a battery I suppose. Motorbike is a bit different though. No need for it to explode for it to set a forest on fire. And trust me, they RIP up trails.
  7. They have been running around Jonkers long enough for that to have happened by now. I reckon the day it does happen it will be down to the chop riding it and not the bike. Chops be chops; can't blame gear for that.
  8. There is a big difference between e-bikes on trails and motorbikes. As a motorbiker I would love access to more dirt and single track, but - noisy as hell. There's NO way motorbikes will be able to ride some of the trails cyclists do just based on that - they actually, genuinely do rip up trails - it will cost a fortune in maintenance - fire risk - will not be able to share trails with cyclists, runners, horses, hikers, etc Not the same as an e-bike.
  9. I feel you! I would however recommend he checks future CSA sanctioned event's T's&C's as they fall under UCI rules and at the moment discs on road bikes are a no-go. I wouldn't blame the events, rather the industry that has been a bit arse about face with new tech and implementing them. Much like manufacturers selling MTB's to the masses that come std with wheels that have a 85kg weight limit. No sense made there.
  10. Fox's Proframe lightweight full face helmet for all mountain riding https://www.bikehub.co.za/features/_/gear/gear-news/fox-announce-proframe-light-weight-full-face-helmet-for-all-mountain-riding-r6215?source=topic

  13. Used for aero mapping
  14. It's getting worse!
  15. We've just ticked through midday here at the track, so let's have a summary of the morning so far: - Bottas leads the way with quick times set at the start of two long runs on soft tyres - Ferrari solid in second with Vettel lapping on mediums - McLaren and Red Bull stuck in the garage with technical problems - Magnussen's Haas breaks down at the pit entry
  16. Lap count so far today: Vettel 18, Bottas 16, Hulkenberg 10, Ricciardo 4, Magnussen 3, Ericsson 3, Perez 3, Massa 2, Sainz 2, Alonso 1. 90 minutes in, and only half the teams have set lap times: Ferrari, Mercedes, Williams, Renault and Red Bull.
  17. And also... RBR returns to the pits on the back of a truck
  18. Testing is underway
  19. Red Bull
  20. Another one
  21. McLaren
  22. Haas
  23. Toro Rosso
  24. Big up to Team Bike Hub rider Kylie who won her age category.
