I have not travelled with an e-bike. However, luggage these days in terms of number of bags and weight is usually based on the ticket type you have purchased and then there is the normal upselling of more bags / weights if you went for the cheapest ticket. I have found previously with certain airlines, if you go to a legit event and have proof they accommodate the larger luggage sport bags without any hassle or then at a minimal fee compared to the fee of an extra bag for example.

Hi all, Any recommendation for a female MTB skills coach in Gauteng? I would like to get a basic skills session for my wife and her sister. Thanks

Thanks, then maybe I should do a service, see where it goes and then make a call on a new one later.

Ok maybe I should give it a go and then when I stuff it up take it to a pro The good old male way.

Ok so this all seems way past my bike mechanic capability, will need to make a call on the way forward and then a shop to do this properly.

So then should I just buy a Bikeyoke? Can I use the Rockshox controls with the Bikeyoke or do they have their own specific controls?

My Rockshox dropper post has some sag in it which I picked up 2 weeks ago. Took it to Cyclelab to be told it is normal, which led to me giving the bike technician some lip as I know my bike and dropper and it had never had any sag. After that fiasco I was then told it must be sent to CT for a service. So is that the only place that can service my Rockshox dropper post as that would mean 7-10 days?

If it is a Lithium battery, and depending on the size, unlikely that an airline will take it on the flight for you, had the same issue with an electric skateboard removable battery. Just search, some of the courier companies do ship, but they take precautionary measures, which costs extra.

Nice, thanks, let me have a look at this,

Thanks for this, I am going to look into these glasses as that is exactly my problem and really don't want to replace my bike computer if not needed, so this might be a way better option. Thanks a mill.

Thanks, I don't mind importing it is when things need to be shipped via postal service and not courier, but if courier, then great, thanks for the info.

I think it was longer, I just posted now due to not being able to attend and giving the entry to someone that is still looking for one and making sure they are aware of the remaining timeline to get the substitution done.

Maybe my question got lost, is the Karoo Hammerhead available in SA or only via import?

I have entered for the Cape Town Cycle Tour 109km race but due to some other commitments can not travel down to Cape Town. I see substations can be done until the 16 February, so if anyone wants an entry, let me know and we can initiate the substitution.

Is the Karoo locally available or only via import?

MTB, Climbing depending on where we ride, anything from 100 - 500m. I usually eat nothing before the ride, probably something I need to look into. Post ride is usually a brekkie roll and cappuccino, the normal after most MTB rides and what is on offer

Thanks will have a look at the mode, I will be in Amsterdam in May, so looking at options and potentially purchasing during my trip, hence doing the homework now.

Hi al, Thought I would cover this in one, as an old weekend cyclist that will start dabbling in a bit of racing (non-competitive) this year. I currently have a Wahoo Element Bolt, and on the trails with the older eyes I now feel the screen is getting a bitt small to see and navigate when riding. What would be the recommended bike computer now with a decent size screen and color? Then for riding, and I have looked, there are zillions of drinks, what should I drink during my rides, and these would vary from 25-50km rides for now to keep hydrated but also fuelled during the ride? Thanks

Problem is that seems a bit far to drive to pick one up.

That would be great, thanks.

Hi all, Is there any bike rack available in South Africa that will allow access to the boot of my Prado by swivelling the bike rack away from the vehicle? Something similar to the below? Currently have a Buzzrack, but with the bikes removed and the Buzzrack tilted backwards I can not access the boot area due to the sideways door opening of the Prado. Thanks

Thanks a mill everyone, appreciate all the feedback and guidance.

Thanks, this makes sense. Flats with clipless it is then!

Centurion

This is my concern as well, so hence want to try and see before I go all out.
