When will you be doing lumo coloured socks? It's becoming almosy impossible to find calf length socks which are brightly coloured! De feet used to be the only ones available and now they are no longer sold...

This young man has serious talent. It's only going to be a matter of time before he gets a win!

That is the cheapest and nastiest lube in the world. I threw the bottle out after trying it once. It just dried up on my chain and left no lubrication whatsoever - chain was running dry on that ride

I hear you and I agree to a certain point. Some of the benefits are beneficial. However, what really has upset everyone is initially they promised almost all races would be part of their calendar. Now they officially launch and almost nothing is included. Additionally, I wouldn't be purchasing a garmin 810 in the first place because of the price, R800 certainly won't change my mind. For this scheme to work successfully, they need a fair number of people to buy into it. Offering discount vouchers on only the most expensive garmins certainly isn't going to achieve this. The average person who signs up with this would expect to see save money in the long term if a sufficient number of races were entered. This is no longer the case as most events aren't included. I think it's a brilliant idea by discovery, but it just seems that they have rushed through the thinking simply to get it launched. I think they could have done a much better job.

Haha this is a joke! They have removed the majority of the events that they were promising. You're going to struggle to even earn your R900 back. Over promising and under delivering Edit: spelling

Yup, if you do the racing calendar in Gauteng alone, you will be saving a lot of money! Will definitely be joining this next year

I rode AL and I was extremely disappointed with the race. The downhill start was dangerous, the marshals were non existent and the route was terrible! There are enough f*cking flat races in joburg, we don't need another one... Last years route was much better! For the entry fee, it's a joke! No signs out on the route, no directions. Finish was poorly organized... Myself and a lot of my friends who ride competitively will never be back. This race was a joke and should be removed from the race calendar.

Have you tried Merlin cycles? They often have great specials

That's crazy! I'm paying R470 a month for a road bike and mtb bike insured together for R100k. This includes cover during racing, training, theft etc.

I'm with Miway for both my road a mountain bike. Great service when coming to claiming. Claimed two wheel sets from them - they even gave me a brand knew set of lightweight meilensteins

Yup full price was paid! A supposedly reputable shop made the sale for a brand new spez SL4 frame set. Also just turned out to be a fake. Check was done with spez after hearing about the fake dogma.

Apparently pinerello international is now sueing the company... Additional, one of my good mates dads recently bought himself a SL4 from the same shop - also a fake!

Looking at potentially getting the lightweight HF-FM069 2014 frame: http://www.hongfu-bikes.com/html_products/2013-Super-Light-full-carbon-Road-Frame-292.html I would be getting the 530 size. Anyone know what one of these costs and how stiff they are? Very nice looking bike.

Anyone ridden a set of 38 or 50 and can provide feedback?

Hi all, I have contacted dark horse about arranging a test ride of their wheels in joburg, however they are unable to assist. I have ridden a 50mm clincher set before and wasn't very impressed - there was a lot of flex in the wheel. Is there anyone in joburg that would let me test ride a set? I'm concerned about the flex in the wheel and I want to try them out first

Hey all, Does anyone know who the agent in South Africa is for lightweight wheels?

The finish was incredibly stupid. Almost had a crash as we were sprinting for the line. No one bothered to warn us before the race about the finish line being up the access road. We were all sprinting for the cones

I did the long distance and they also never mentioned where the finish was... We were all sprinting for the flags and all got a surprise when we got there and still had to make the turn! Almost crashed as a result!

The finish was the stupidest thing I have seen in a while...

That's something great then. I weigh 73kg, so it's definitely not that. I think I rode the first generation of the 50mm clinchers. May have to try out a set again as I wouldn't mind purchasing a set of the 50mm clinchers

Those 50mm clinchers from DH, do they still flex a lot? I rode a set about a year ago as a demo and found they had quite a lot of flex when placed under power... Has this been rectified?

Edge 500 is a brilliant device. The additional features on the 510 aren't worth the extra cash

What do you have in mind?

Have they increased the stiffness of those wheels recently? I rode a set of 50mm clinchers last year and they had a lot of flex under power

What's your price range? Also tubbies or clinchers?
