To be completely honest the job I had done was intended solely to last a few races and I wouldn’t promote it for long term use if you want the skinsuit to last longer. My suggestion would be to approach a local kit production company (probably one of the smaller ones as the big ones might be less inclined to help out a potential customer with a project that isn’t really their priority) and ask them to stitch it up to the correct shape. Another win is also moving the chamois to sit in the correct place as sometimes they stitch them a bit high or low for your individual geometry down under and flexibility / position on the bike.

Sub me in coach

i feel attacked 😜

Man the fomo is going to be real

Longer race for the elites, especially elite ladies? 🙏

Power team, and DM Shopfitting have been investing in the sport which is always welcome. Unfortunately I missed the race after some illness, but I'm proud of my little team's performance.

Mate, Speed Company Racing won epic on that bike!? Bargain.

Why don’t you get some Mtb power pedals and kill two birds with one stone? Or assiomas, I do gravel with mine but to be honest I don’t recommend it.

Hope you come right, I’ve heard those sizes are just about impossible to come by.

Have to make it over hels with the climbers for our bottles 😜

Interesting. My uncle was at school with Doug, and was telling me some stories about their TT’s from SACS to Constantia Nek via Rhodes drive. Wonder who has that KOM now 🧐

Also, it would be so sick if we could do the $ road race for CTCT on the Saturday morning at like 8-10:40 am with a rolling road closure, and have the finish line at the same time as the expo. I know it won't happen, but it would be awesome.

Slightly off topic, but does anyone reckon there would be more interest in elite road racing in SA if guys could bet on the races? In Belgium the streets were packed with people for non-pro Kirmesse and lots of money changing hands afterwards... And these were tiny little races in the greater scheme of things. I also wonder if more live streaming of races would helpit. It is cool rewatching some of the racing on Toyota Cadence afterwards. Probably does not help that we race at the crack of dawn though.

Thanks R, really happy with that. It was definitely a special win!

your bikes cost less than your car? My bikes are insured for 5x what I paid for my car lol

If this bike started smashing it at world tour level I would maybe be less skeptical but they don't have a world tour team 🤪

The sworks venge MY19 was the original hyperbike and no one can change my mind 😉

Or a heavily used cannondale superx and upgrade the drivetrain and wheels 😂

We worked that gravel gutter quite well to set up the launch…

I love this thread. Lekker customer support...

HEY I was just there!

Does anyone have a GPX for the road race? Is it the same route as last year? Sorry if this has been addressed already, haven't read up.

around the same price as a tube

These are the most important questions.
