  1. Heard the sad news yesterday of the passing of Lionel Murray of Freewheel Cycology. What an energetic guy, passionate about cycling and life. Will be missed in the cycling community. We’ve lost a legend. Strongs to his family and friends. Ride on Lioney.
  2. Any ideas, comments on the debonair brain vs normal SID brain setup? What have others experienced?
  3. Hi Any advice on where in cape town i can have the front and rear shocks fine tuned. I have similiar setup like https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/dual-suspension-bikes/427210/2019-s-works-epic-large It feels hard as hell even with front fork fully opened, no plushness on both forks. Yeah I tried a lot of variations, youtube etc. reading manual etc. Yor I'm struggling to find sweet spot on this bike. Thx

  5. Brilliant - much needed to take the mtb stage race format into the future.
  6. Thanks goodness - Energade in 2015 was just terrible. Perhaps nobody saying it - Energade causes non-stop farts.
  7. Great thanks for the professional manner in how this was dealth with.
  8. Disaster - route markers all over the place - the event ended in shambles. Our bunch with leading ladies Finished 35 of the 70kms due to incorrect or no route markers! Organisers a refund or credit towards next trailseeker cpt race would be a consolation.

    99er crash out

    Every year the 99er has issues - big bunches, no climbs at beginning and with rain previous years it guaranteed drama. This year no rain but still large bunches, small time gaps between bunches and gravel road. Organizers please get this right or cancel the race altogether. For the premium entry we paying we EXPECT to be on a safe route at least!
  10. How long to finish the long route MTB for decently fit rider.
  11. whats the route like for the MTB race. What about single track and enjoyment factor Would like to know
  12. Mutual and Federal - see below. Premium is the last amount. Also no hassles when claiming Excess: R 250 9627865 SPECIALIZED SL3 PEDAL CYCLE R 40 000 R 158.46 9627879 Specialized Sworks MTB Pedal Cycle R 32 000 R 129.52
  13. Got a few Mframes for R200 each
  14. My experience with these tyres has been very dissapointing. For the price point of these tyres it's really a bad reflection on the continental brand. 1. It easily punctures - even when new. 2. Accumulates cuts very quickly 3. Not very long lasting. Perhaps it's not for riders over 65kgs. Would like to hear what other hubbers experiences were around durability of these tyres. I certainly shall not be buying these tyres again.
  15. Yoh if I saw this dodgy scene - I would have confiscated that Sworks immediately. I doubt the thief would have tried to resist, he would have tried to make a getaway to avoid being arrested.
  16. Sure there are good and bad things to be said about any cycle shop. I've had great and some time not so great service from Bridge and other shops. Just accept that you sometime get rotten luck as a customer. Hope Bridge clears up the shop a bit and learn from the mistakes.
  17. Based on today's comeback Contador showed the spirit of a true champion. Made much better viewing than Tdf 2012!
  18. Reason Halaal food tastes better; because more budget go into the food than budget being kept for alcohol
  19. Long live Fiki, long live well done. Maclean praised him On super cycling.
  20. Halaal, Kosher is about religious beliefs not about political affiliation. I'm shocked at the ignorant comments about halaal being political. Religion is also not about the colour of your skin. How about race organizers post their catering options on the hub, to encourage participants from all persuasions. BTW. It's encouraging to see that thehub is serving such a diverse audience. Oh yes and moderator I think you should do your job and start banning the idiots that post these intolerant comments!
  21. Lots of hidden talent like this that needs exposure. Kudos to CL!
  22. Please don't generalise. There are some inexperienced riders yes, but your comment is out of line. Shut up if you don't have anything good to say!
  23. Now we just need to get Juju on the bike - then cycling will really get liftoff in SA
  24. No medal at end No water at end Some stupid ticket handed our for lucky draw No place to sit some d$&s was shouting off cyclists from going on the field. Generally not a proud event for organizers. Hope they read the complaints and LEARN!
  25. I was in the stars group, and I have an E seeding. After today I am certainly thinking of pulling out of the stars group. There were riders from cedar switching people all over the place. So cedar and mohamedeya please address your youngsters, cause next time I will ban these riders myself if they threaten my safety! I will not take this sh$t lying down. PPA take note of this thread, cause I'm sure your intent is not to let ppl get hurt. The absence of the Marshall today also Is a major oversight, as many of these youngsters don't know about good road etiquette.
