  1. So here goes... It's that time of year and I'm wanting to build up a ss shredder for winter/ss champs. Going to move components across from an old trek fuelx that I broke one of the chain stays on. Looking for a 26" hartail frame. Steel is real, ti is fly and alu is value. If anybody has anything they willing to part with please let me know. On a student budget. Shot
  2. Ryan, how did the X tackle that bit in your 3rd pic? Rocky and sandy, that bit is even tough on the mtb.
  3. Its going to be a chilled run so I'm sue you'll be fine. the scenery makes up for the sore legs anyways!
  4. Hundreds. Will be cool with a few more guys...
  5. Saturday morning?
  6. I'm keen but will only be back in PTA in Feb.
  7. Chilled ride out in Eston.
  8. Has anyone run up Sani before? I've ridden up already but heading back in December for another holiday and want to run it this time. What I'd like to know is should I take the trail shoes or just use my normal distance trainers? Will just be running up and getting in the car for the return if that makes a difference.
  9. Just got back from GK. Big hole in the fence just before marker 10D. Thats as you come out of the singletrack and ride next to Nelson Mandela drive. Reported it at the office but nobody seemed too stressed. Stay safe out there guys.
  10. Hunter had this frame going for R3000 including a fork at Cycle Fair. Seriously should have bought it! Awesome!
  11. Helping out at the SimpleSAM stand for the weekend. Seriously fun show. Do yourself a favour and make the trip through. Ride a fat bike and do a few laps on the pumptrack. Can juuust see the rainbow as the day was ending.
  12. Weekdays. Usually ride Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday arriving at GK at 6;30am leaving from Hatfield. But I'm a student so I'm easy. Exam time = more free time to ride
  13. Can't believe its come to this but would anyone be interested in a Groenkloof/Klapperkop whatsapp group so we can organize rides and not go solo until this is sorted?
  14. Awesome. Wish we had more events like this in SA. Think hillclimb, fixie bike polo etc.

    Polar V800

    Does any watch really track swimming properly? Other than the Garmin swim maybe.
  16. Don't you feel safe at Groenies? Can buy a year pass for R770 which I think is reasonable and a decent size loop to ride too. Never felt threatened there.
  17. This thread is worse than the "if money was no object" one. Although I might just have to post the Zero29 in there cos I'm lusting badly!

    pearl izumi

    Pretty sure VeloLife stock.
  19. Here we go: Alberto Contador Alejandro Valverde Joaquim Rodriguez Peter Sagan Mark Cavendish Marcel Kittel Chris Froome Bauke Mollema Sep Vanmarcke
  20. Top of worlds view in Maritzburg and then along the dusi to see how Farmer Glen was getting along!
  21. Agree with all of this I think there needs to be less 'blame game' and more cooperation between riders and SASCOC/CSA to get a better selection system. James was ranting on twitter about selection criteria not being implemented. This is not the issue, the issue is poor selection criteria to start with.
  22. http://www.cyclingsa.com/Article.aspx?uid=2493 States that riders must be top 5 in the commonwealth... That's pretty much using UCI points. I did a quick count. Phil is 2nd in the commonwealth, Rourke 6th and James 11. Also, I agree that U23 riders are at a disadvantage as they get less points but if you want to race Elites at Commonwealth then you must race elites during the year. Nothing in terms of criteria was 'hidden' so I don't believe riders have the right to moan.
  23. Just saw this on twitter. Same incident? Richard Amos ‏@untruth_ 14h To the cyclist who just got hit and run on Old Kent Road, 19.55 on Tuesday 10th June, I got the driver's number plate.
  24. Tell me about it! Ray does such great reviews. I find it amusing when you go check out someone else's review they say upfront, "This is not an in depth review, for that go check out Rainmaker" Cant beat it.
  25. Garmin Fenix2. Released this year and seriously does not get any better! A bit buggy still but all the features are there. Check it out @ http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/03/garmin-fenix2-multisport.html Same price as the 910xt
