  1. Anyone having trouble with installing the zwift (unrealeased) on your phone? I installed mine however it was stuck on the loading zip code screen (blue screen), uninstalled it a few days later, when i tried to installed it again it now says "programme is full no space available" ???
  2. At what price though i dont mind paying 10-15% more locally. I had a bike24 order refunded about 2 months back, still haven't even recieved the slip in the postbox so i suspect its lost for good but thats okay i got my money back. However I placed my order mid jan thinking i'll get it before argus i could've easily bought the parts 2nd hand in what seemed to be good condition but opted for new instead at what would be about the same price. To date i still dont have the parts i need to finish my 2nd bike which is laying in pieces, topping it all i lost motivation to build it up.
  3. Buy a Santa Cruz tallboy..done???? If a SC is out of your budget get a scalpel????
  4. Conti supersonic 45mm valve R185 Kenda super light latex 45mm R140 Lol 7 years later when this thread is revived these tubes will be R350 each
  5. This route you going will take you 4 weeks to get here as there delivery to the UAE for some reason is even longer than what it is to SA. You can just mail CRC and ask them nicely and they will do it for you. They cant lift the restrictions on the site but via email they have no issues helping you.
  6. I think we need a tripple century race, cutoff time of 15hours, teams of 8 with min of 4 finishers, 3x 30 min mandatory stops. ????
  7. If you in CT i can donate a new 8 speed 11/32 cluster.
  8. Exactly, so many alternatives around!! We ended up doing a short ride in the wind anyway even so it was a bit tricky but not as bad as the civic centre start which was just treacherous. I would strongly suggest they move the start line Maybe somewhere on helen suzman turning left onto nelson mandela blvd
  9. I think you know this but crit style racing doesnt always go down with the majority but at least its something and more exciting than a road race in my view.
  10. Opens in sep i think date to be confirmed
  11. Whats your price range? Maybe you should rather look at a good used one as generally they dont come cheap especially cannondale
  12. I found a easy way the remove sealant, i fold the tube in half with the valve pointing down and outwards, you then start rolling the tube up tightly from the opposite end until you get to the valve (now on my valve i have fish tank pipe and a small platic container) by the time you get to valve end almost all the sealant is out of the tube this i checked by filling a tube with sealant then extracting it again via this principal. I also find that sealant works better on 25c tyres at 6.5bars than 23c on 7.5bar
  13. Jeez mnr, that bike looks so freakin awesome, was this your white/black frame?
  14. Many ways to get shimano into the country especially via malaysia. Sram on the other hand is a bit of schlep but guys can get them in although not in quantity. Truth is most high end bikes are insured these days so it makes it easier to claim if you have a fault hardly anyone is really worried about guarentee if they know they buying a legit product yet saving 20-30%.
  15. was about to say the same!! all about status i guess
  16. Easy to spot those, they barely clipped in yet and the bunch had already dropped them. Sad but true
  17. You okes are in another league, iam going to need a tank of NOS just to keep up. But goodluck with the DC, I hope your entire team makes it over the line together or they might just picked up one by one which one of your guys trains at Claremont VA?
  18. zaza is that you?
  19. boy oh boy I felt so good passing one of those "pure savage" riders and coming from F group nogal..
  20. You used my pic without my authority!!
  21. Dale is a sports psychologist, maybe go see dale, iam sure he can unlock your potential thus allowing you to drive your anger towards those pedals and not the keyboard..
  22. Shame boet, do you need a psychologist? Or will you be doctoring yourself..
  23. Off the topic, just read the article on the store manager of giant durbanville in icu having been knocked by a motorist, so on our way from the race coming down durban road just before PP smit what looked to be a motorcyclist knocked off his bike,it looked like his helmet came off. Does anyone have details we were in the far left and it was bumper traffic just after 10:20am.A few other motorist had stopped to assist him and gathered he was in good care.
