  1. Any luck from Cycle lab regarding warranty repair? Looks like Im try find someone local have look at mine, seem be chasing my tail. Xcadey China got back saying "Go F*#K yourself"
  2. Yeah it's not necessarily a bad move for De Bod
  3. Good idea starting Cat 2 Goodluck and have fun😎🤟
  4. Howist You receiving any form of response? I've emailed, spoke on website help desk, WA Xcadey and they finally responded and now just gone quiet. I believe that's how they role🙄
  5. Been a huge fan of Xcadey power meters for while now. My son has one on his Track bike, MTB, Gravel bike and 3 months back we purchased one for his road bike. Done 250km and new Power meter is kaput. I find it scary the agents selling last units out knowing they faulty. The store I purchased through the managers Xcadey also gave issues after a year and they happily pass the buck. Says he got ghosted from China contact after few WA messages. Goodluck to rest of us I say
  6. I'm normally active at most cycling events and was away this past weekend. Will make it my business next year be present on route, maybe organizers should request volunteers onroute, in exchange for beer🍻😀 Been following Gallows posts all seems all had blast
  7. Don't get me started on that, yes I remember Filthy Fondo same thing kids moving boards most annoying thing. I did mention to a certain someone use the GPX map but NOOOOOOO and believe he took wrong turn😜
  8. So this is a WC Gravel series held without timing 😳😳😳😳😳 And every year I read of riders taking a wrong turn😒
  9. Hi all Where's the official results for this event?
  10. Upgrades.... Nothing but upgrades😁 Road cycling is convenient in city buy WOW do I love riding gravel when opportunity comes along
  11. Alberton, but still waiting on exact details
  12. Winelands isn't CSA sanctioned it's a load of Bull, if anything goes wrong it's tickets for you. My son was punched during event and we couldn't take legal action simply because it's not a sanctioned event. I also believe that SA Road Champs is being held from 28th January 2024 so what now🤔
  13. Absolute madness FML
  14. Rumor has it new date is in 2024😕
  15. OH WOW I just looked on website and saw frames available. Huge congrats and build looks proper. Enjoy 👌
  16. All our cycling tech is wahoo, their service has been nothing but amazing with the claims had over the years. Sent our Kickr to Specialized Tygerberg when had minor issues and needed service.
  17. Howsit all Can one collect racepack on someone's behalf with email confirmation?
  18. Jumping in here and can say I highly recommend this supllier and the Blackmarlin brand.
  19. Soooo on another not I picked up a pair of cycling sunglasses other side of Bothmans pass assuming A group rider if anyone missing a pair lost on race I possibly have them.
  20. Trust me whatever is under that carpet will come to light, too often we just accept what life throws at us. Myself as a parent of a son that cycles needs to step up and ensure his in a safe environment.
  21. Good day All Been reading these comments and thought I'd give some insight. Ive been Juan's best mate for 20 years and my son raced the event Sunday past. Firstly Juan should've been in A group but celebrated his son's birthday so couldn't get through Racetec and make the change and accepted the B group all he wanted to do was ride the race to the best of his ability and win if possible. We talking about a guy that could wheelie any motorcycle, climb and obstacle on MX bike and his done so many a time. It's sad he goes like this, definitely not the way we all saw it going. So let's talk about the incident that I am investigating in my personal capacity as well as I feel a life was robbed. I was on the scene of the accident and he been lying on hot tar for 20 min before one of the organizers medics assisted him, now Juan was a professional Body builder and understood how a boby functions. He mentioned on numerous occasions he couldn't breath now this was the medic response.... Shut up if you can talk you can breathe😐 Juan asked what's my pulse, I'm loosing function of my legs. 40 min later the paramedics arrive. On arrival at Paarl medic when they put oxygen on it was too late.... This guy suffocated, he died a horrible death. When I questioned where ambulance were and how many was arranged for the event I got told I'm being cocky. I'm so angry as this life lost could've been avoided. Whilst I stood waiting for the ambulance I watched how dangerous that turn was and yes I took some pictures of the further possible carnage cyclist doing cars was absolutely crazy. One of the things I learnt from this event that it wasn't a sanctioned one hence all the incidents so please fellow cyclist if it's not a CSA sanctioned event you are taking a huge risk. I will at some point sooner than later and create a post so we that cycle understand what events are in our best interest. Juan leaves behind 3 boys a 15,7 and one year old son his wife Mich and loads of people who he made a huge inpact R. I. P
