  1. I would expect a much more fluid transition from a triathlete
  2. Roasted, and it is not even Friday yet. I will grab the popcon.
  3. As of when last I was there on COVID recovery cramp, it was properly bad... Worst corrugations I have experienced in my short gravel career
  4. I love my Cadence Carbofuel and appreciate the transparency in ingredients and science behind the product. Sometimes you can pick up 3 for 2 at Clicks on sale. If my ride is shorter and more mellow I just take water, as I am budget and can't afford to suip fancy juice all the time. As soon as I am doing intervals or endurance the Carbofuel is used.
  5. So, fastest seeded last, and two neutral spots? Or did I read this incorrectly
  6. You know, you can rent a motorbike and these roads are open to vehicles every day of the year except one! I wonder, following the average legal limit across all roads +10% and allowing for a 2 minute wait at chappies toll booth how long it would take
  7. Delete ad and then select sold I think works. I am having a different issue - I am getting 4 notifications for every 1 notification. EG just messaged someone about a bike and when they responded with 1 message 40 min ago I got 4 notifications like they had sent 4 messages 40 minutes ago.
  8. Ya those idiots on chipped e-bikes with TT-bars at CTCT are actual idiots. Not only do they put themselves at risk but also those around them. It must take someone seriously inconsiderate to do that... What are they trying to prove??? Probably years of just-not-sub-3 and ran out of excuses...
  9. Something about Piets hey...
  10. +1 for Ryder force if you want to try out the Power shape without dropping the big bucks for the big S. They pop up on here occasionally for R250. I have an Sworks Power on one bike and the Ryder as a spare saddle, but I am trying it on a borrowed bike at the moment and it is noticeably less stiff under my fairly slight behind. Shape feels pretty much identical though.
  11. Lightweight and rim brake, naturally.
  12. The power of Google confirms this (Wikipedia was not my only reference)
  13. Wow that is a weird place to keep your wife... But whatever works for your marriage
  14. Everyone knows the bike lives in the couch not awkwardly tucked in the corner...
  15. Where does one apply... For interest sake ????
  16. Zeekoivlei has also been closed for the last few months due to sewerage leaking in from the treatment station nearby. Really sucks for all the rowers
  17. Next you will suggest it starts at UCT and does an offroad lap around Tafelberg mtb trails and is followed by 7 other stages around the Western Cape... Damn mtb riders
  18. fair... I should have specified better - on Simon Van Der Stel freeway between the Alphen offramp and the Kendal offramp. I should know because I used to live in a house backing onto Kendal road! Haha
  19. I am sooooo keen for March. Looking forward to redemption for this one... Who tf crashes on Ladies Mile... it is the straightest least bumpy road. Chappies is my interval spot now practicing as a launch pad for next year lol
  20. If that cannondale is the older gen you are going to struggle to fit anything over 25c tyres on from what I have been told. The later generations fit 28c pretty comfortably from my experience running spez 28s on a wide easton rim.
  21. This is impressive because the DC plan concocted on the Whatsapp group today was the dumbest thing I saw today... Surely just start fast and hang on??
  22. Spoiler alert: It doesn’t
  23. Unfortunately, I think the return on investment for SA sponsors is probably not very high, as the same investment in rugby or football will have far greater reach and impact. I don't think many viewers are watching much outside of the tour. I wonder if the story would be any difference if QA had a similar level of success at the tour as they had at the Giro?
  24. Nah mechanical is accurately rated. I'll tell you what is over rated... disc brakes on road bikes
  25. So epic that you guys found it!!!
