  1. Been to one in Bellville and one back in Pta, both refuse, want to sell me a new Proride 598 .... 🙈
  2. Anyone know where in SA I can get proper support from Thule? Where they actually want to help fixing and not try to ONLY sell new stuff? I'm specifically looking for this part: 52677 Getting it abroad no problem: https://www.roofracks.co.uk/under-tray-clip/p/4400 But locally they seem to be not interested to even try to help .... 🙁
  3. The "Finish Time" position data (Pos, Cat, Gen) data for myself differ significantly with the "Sport Splitz" data. The times are spot on the same though. Wonder what the ... is up with that? 🤷‍♂️
  4. Very happy to finish my maiden CTCT in 4:52. Started out very conservatively but went much faster to the end, no walking and minor little cramps. All in all it went a lot better than 94.7 where I had terrible cramps and was reduced to walking many times, no walking yesterday though .... 😁. Edit: Anyone know what the total starting number of riders?
  5. During our night ride last night someone mention a "Argus MTB" race the week before CTCT. Is this still a thing? Cant seem to find anything about it online since about 2014 .... If so where can I enter? Will be doing my first CTCT on the 10th .... 😊
  6. I got a hardly used complete 12S NX cassette on my trainer if you want it. I just cant get used to the indoor trainer, going to sell it for sure.
  7. Anyone maybe recently got hold of stock on this? My 10T needs replacement.
  8. Sadly I have only one shock pump and only pumped it once when I got it. Hopefully it can be cleaned properly and be functional again.
  9. I would not mind that but hopefully, Pog, Rog, Jonas, Remco and maybe Sepp also. will be all in the mix, that would give us some awesome racing !!!
  10. Thanks @droo There is a local guy that will have a crack at it for me, if he dont succeed I will get back to you. Its only 6 months old and I love the way it work (before this obviously). I got a 100mm Specialized Command Post Ircc that I fitted back onto my bike until the 9.8 is fixed, The Spez is only 100mm travel. I got used to the 200mm on the 9.8 very quickly .... 😊.
  11. Is there anyone with experience servicing these droppers? Mine worked awesome for a while but now the brake is slipping. I tried the "brake reset" procedure multiple times now without success. It would be great if someone with experience can assist getting it in working order again.
  12. No, son, the sky is completely black, nothing in it ... 🤪😂
  13. Nice !!! Thanks for posting.
  14. In a country where the police & legal system is still working the way its supposed to, it should be fine to ride armed, unfortunately we are not so lucky, totally screwed, no matter what we do ...
  15. I also enjoy riding on Meyers farms. Pity there's not more trails there ....
  16. Nice ! Would be great if we can get a photo of it on here ... ☺️
  17. Mine with a 120mm fork is standing next to my 2017 RM Element, HTA can be varied between 69 & 70 deg. I got mine in the mid setting ~69.5 deg at the moment. Side by side the Rapide is visibly much slacker ...
  18. I didn't set prices yet, will do and PM you.
  19. That cherry red is gorgeous isn't it ... 😊. If mine doesn't sell soon I'm going to break it up and sell the frame & components individually. Unfortunately its a large, so wont work for you 😪.
  20. Thanks but no thanks. I got one word for you, overpriced .... And not wanted by me 😊. There are multiple other brands that is just as good if not better at better pricing.
  21. I'm riding GX AXS for a while now and love it, wont go back to mechanical. Shifting is very good with no skipping. It would be nice though if the individual gears could be fine tuned like you can do with Archers D1x Trail. But if you set it up properly, shifting is perfect every time. I did reduce the weight on mine by fitting a Garbaruk cage, now equivalent to a XX1 AXS. https://www.garbaruk.com/sram-12-speed-axs-rd-cage.html?category=14
  22. I dont enjoy the rough tech stuff as much as you guys, but for me the Fox 34 120mm I have on mine work very well, for my type of riding anyway ....

    Thanks Frosty, I will for sure go through the process of doing this. Where can I go for the sweat testing nearby? I was wondering last night, if the purpose of sweat is to cool us down via convection and evaporative heat transfer, why the hell are we (as humans) not sweat water only? Why the NaCl also ... as it is an important part of muscle function? Probably impossible to get a good answer for this, was just wondering ....
