  1. I’ve only ever had non readings in high traffic situations which I think is expected. this has slowly got better as new firmware and software has rolled out. also when in a larger group of riders it cannot accurately see through all the bodies and bikes in the way. In general riding out in the cradle I have otherwise found it to be extremely accurate.
  2. I have one of the standard units and feel naked leaving the house without it. They are a game changer for road safety. i generally ride more in the road, and when it beeps move over to the left to allow the car to pass. Saves my tires from unwanted glass and rubbish on the left edge of the road. all my ride buddies who do not have a radar have linked their head units to my radar. Makes for a safer more informed group ride.
  3. I’m just going to put this here http://This new game is all about running a bicycle workshop and keeping customers happy https://www.news24.com/ride24/news/become-a-cycling-mechanic-hero-with-bike-mechanic-simulator-2023-20220513
  4. That’s odd, I agree the GP 5000s are my go to tires. But they are getting silly expensive and will react just like any other tire if you hit the wrong piece of glass. makes for an expensive puncture. the Goodyears I have are at around 3000km and have been brilliant at a 3rd of the price of the GPs my Vittoria graphine 2.0 are nearly toast at 4000km. The tread is pretty much gone. They are the most expensive tire of the lot and also the most comfortable, but have a very limited lifespan.
  5. Pop me a DM. i am the agent for OrangeSeal. It’s the best in business. we can work out a bulk discount for you
  6. Curiosity got the better of me and i ordered a pack of these glucose sensors to experiment with. They arrived over the weekend and i am now in day 3 of wearing a sensor. My job has me travelling fairly often, and as a downside to this my diet is often not wonderful while on the move. i am also prone to scoffing down a chocolate or two 😅 i'm not going to go into detail about the system, its pro's and con's etc. Here is the link for those who wish to read up on it further. https://www.supersapiens.com/en-GB/ Rather i will post some of the data showing how certain foods and drinks affect my glucose levels. We are all to aware that certain foods are bad for us - the graphs i'll share here will give a ton more info into what is really happening in my body when X food is ingested. hopefully me sharing this data helps others make more healthy decisions. for the moment i am having fun trying out different foods in different combinations - Coffee vs Cappuccino. what about if add the normal spoon of sugar? What does a Big Mac Meal do? - coke zero obvs! Fruits? Milk? How about a Gu while on the bike? what about a boozy afternoon of beers? GnT anyone? i'll share here as i get more data

  10. Selling this on behalf of a client, he has now opted for a 7x unit. pm me if interested
  11. I have 2x Parlee Chebacco builds coming in. A high end dream frameset, zipp allu components, ritchey allu wheels and Rival AXS.
  12. my approach is this: is it tested? is it yummy? if both then thats my poison. Currently its USN after a drank a gazillion litres of it at Wine2whales. sure its got sugar in it - life is to short to drink naff tasting protein.
  13. Just landed a stunning matt Platinum frameset - 54 also expecting a rather special size 52... keep you eyes pealed for it!

  16. now thats crazy!
  17. While there is nothing wrong with Shimano, for the last 2 years they have been less than pathetic when it comes to spare parts. Sram wins out easily just based on being able to run the bike knowing you will find a cassette, chain or some other obscure part.
  18. 1000% I have tried. Was a hit and run case in the cradle. Multiple witnesses, Multiple statements taken. All the evidence needed for a conviction. Followed all the way through for it to be thrown out. Had a full thread on it in here a few years back. I'm not here to beat a dead horse, I'm at peace with the reality that is South Africa. I also have a contingency plan to get out of dodge when the time comes.
  19. The police exist for one purpose in this country - to get a case number for insurance claims. as for the formal justice system, It is a joke. There is a reason township justice exists.
  20. I know of a local prominent racer who road for a couple years without noticing he had a 172.5 on the left and a 175 on the right. we are talking top top local rider from a number of years back. never noticed. never had any issues. he did of course change it when we found it.
