I really want to hear more about the Ace-Simba conspiracy. I suspect Wade may have gone into hiding now though.

Super interesting to scroll down and see how the composition of the team has shifted.

And how could I forget @Nico van Loggerenberg's thread!?

YEEES, some suggestions include references to Simba's participation in the Epic thread, as well as Freesoul's Sworks debacle as a bonus paragraph or five. I look forward to seeing your work @DonatelloOnPinarello

Lakka, great minds think alike (and small minds seldom differ) haha!

Are lions always naked or always dressed?

Ya I haven't done any deals with @ACE Cycles but he seems like a genuinely nice guy from my conversations on Whatsapp with him.

I do like the Bikehub pay system but 3% of R125 000 is R3750 and that is a lot of money! It would be lekker if the pay function topped out a bit lower IMO. You guys also seem to be going on like the marketplace could not have functioned before pay but I don't think there were that many instances of big scams... Maybe I am wrong, I am new here anyway (and a bit slow)

Personally I prefer to not look like a traffic cone or a parking attendant when I am out riding, much to my gf's dad's disapproval as he is set on luminous kit.

It needs TT bars on!

This is exactly the case where a small amount of creativity could result in something nicer imo. A nice Defender silhouette or line drawing from the side or front would be marginally less cringe

It's a M, but the fabric is quite stetchy, so I am not sure of it's boep-holding capabilities and I am in the fortunate position of never having needed to test this.

Thanks for this, looking forward to mine arriving.

This thread just makes me wonder why no one wants to take the EPIC jersey I acquired (without having done the event) off my hands... Maybe if it had the big S on it I would have more success.

I hope I had some influence over your choice of name

I don't identify as a grown man, and I am offended

But she can't even count?

Stefan Kung just beat him on a fast and flat Euro champs TT course, so he is also one to watch out for.

I reckon the national champ is pretty strong but I might be biased.

You can also get towbar mounted bike racks that are mounted to the plate of the towbar behind the ball, and the bikerack can be used with a trailer. You need to be careful with these though as you can squish the bikes with the trailer. Like one of these https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/bike-racks/481212/3-bike-rack

I would think the best solution (if you don't want roofrack mounts) is to get a towbar on the camping trailer, or put the bikes in the boat if the boat is big enough.

Hey, what would your goal distance per day be? I have a route that goes CT-Stellies-FHoek-Greyton-Riviersonderend-Swellendam-Oudtshoorn-George-Knysna which I have not done but would be nice in 5-6 days or a hard 4 days. I think the total is around 650 km

I would say his core is a bit pudgy. If you want a hard core, carbs and veggies are the way to go. Meat is over-rated.

This is exactly what I am talking about but I am hoping to find some polyester ones (surely even cheaper)... Thanks!

I am also looking for somewhere that does cheap, longish socks. I have some decent quality socks I have been given by a sponsor for an event that seemed cheap upon first inspection but have lasted really well. I think anything over R50 for a pair of socks is a bit overpriced... There must be some cheap, decent options out there (preferably in plain black)
