  1. I have been bonked lots of times in years back in marathons, canoeing, cycling and ironman! You only get bonked, when you put too hard too early, or not drinking enough, or not eating enough, or going too far....

    Learned my lessons.... Bonked makes your minds to go out of focus... Best treatment to get over bonked, stop immediately and eat enough, drink enough and come back slowly.. You will be fine...

  2. I do have Nissan 1400 bakkie for 22 years and I have tried lots of different ways with canopy, roof racks, bicycle racks on towbars.

    At the moments I just leave one bicycle lie flat on rubber mats, no problems...

     

    If I was you, I will install alumnium runners for security purposes and put roof rack on top of it.

    You can have 2-3 bikes on it with enough space for bags and spare wheels and etc....

  3. I get cross when the manufactuers use "life" time quarantee, but they print small writing like 3mnths for paint work and 5years for frame... I noticed when they replaced my frame because the paint peeled off after 2 mnths.. Luckily under 3 mths.... They must stop saying "life time" I never believe it, that is why I have bike insurance, in case they don't cover it....

  4. I understand your problem and I know lots of bike shop are not bothered to repair it. I use stan like MTB tubleless and it works well in small cut, but if the cut is big, throw it away.

    Tough luck! Rather use cheaper tubbies tyres, so that you can afford to replace it...

  5. Be careful when you buy from overseas because if something goes wrong, you will have to send it back where you bought it. Rather buy it in local because Garmin SA will support you...

    I bought mine from Eastern Cape MTB for R2900 (only R500 more to have peace of minds)

  6. We can't just complain about CSA licence and we need to put more money to get our riders to the World Champs..

    I hate when you get selected to ride for SA and you must still pay for flight or etc.... You deserve to go free

    because you worked hard to get there....
