  1. We are able to provide Wi-Fi at any location even out in the sticks so mention the races you want it at!
  2. Hey Hubbers We are looking to approach cycling events to partner with them to provide Wi-Fi for the riders/fans etc I'm hoping to get some great first hand knowledge here by tapping into the experience of my fellow hubbers. For those who would like to help, please mention an event that either had no Wi-Fi that you think should, an event that did but it wasn't great or even events that did and it was awesome. Just to try motivate people to get involved, for everyone who posts a relevant (helpful in some way ) reply I will enter them into a draw to win an Awesome TVK Wallet, as seen below. I will provide the winner with a couple of wallet options to choose from.
  3. Hey guys, thanks for all the input and advice. Was hoping nothing else had to be changed so will pass on the offer.
  4. Hey all. I have the chance to get some new 5700 105 shifters for a good price. I’m currently riding a Giant TCR 2 (2011 & tiagra 9 speed group set). I would like to slowly upgrade to full 105. So my questions are: a) If I install the new 105 shifters will I have any compatibility issues with my current setup? B) What would be a realistic price to sell the second hand pair of tiagra shifters (in great condition) for? Cheers
  5. Thanks for the kind offer but I might abandon the wheel upgrade.
  6. Thats how I feel. I really liked the look of the wheels I linked and I thought there might be a semi significant weight difference compared to my stock ones. I am not nearly good enough for the weight savings that I would gain from pedals and stems when you factor in the high cost.
  7. Thanks for the input guys, its a present so not flexible on the budget but its pretty clear that its not worth it (although they would like siiiick!).
  8. Hi All I have my birthday coming up soon and was thinking of getting some new wheels as an upgrade. I have a 2010/11 Giant TCR-2 that came with Giant S-R2 wheels. I have a budget of about R2000 and I weigh 76 kg. I have been unable to find the stock weight of these wheels so if you know, please let me know. My reasons for upgrading are three fold. One I would like to get a slightly lighter wheel-set and secondly if possible a pair that match my bike/good looking and lastly will be very durable. Some info about my cycling ability would help. I do it for fun and cycle for about 5-6 months of the year, it is social activity that I enjoy and do not take it to seriously. Weight (of the bike) is not the limiting factor in my performance but rather fitness. I do the argus in about 3h30-45 and the burger in about 3h15-30. I would like to buy in CT or online locally if possible. I have been looking at these: http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/shimano-rs-30-wheelset
  9. What amazes me in cases like this, is the refusal of the people who were in charge to step down (looking at you Pat). They were either partly responsible or knew that something fishy was going on and if they didn't, they are just incompetent. But they don't and now want to be a part of the solution. Makes me sick, like so many industries that go through this, LACK OF LEADERSHIP!
  10. I saw a terrible accident this year, some idiot came screaming past on the right at the final turn, he pulled in late to avoid the wall and took out the guy next to him, they fell at 55kmh. was awful, i was rattled for the next 10km. i personally enjoy boyes drive even if it dominates me very year. but crashes like that make me happy for the route to go back to main road.
  11. The nesspresso machines are great if you are looking for a quick and convenient way to enjoy good coffee. For me personally though i hate the idea of being tied into them with the pods. If I had some cash to burn I would go with one of the sprada machines that do it all (+- R5000). But at the moment this is how i do it and i love it. This my pre-gym coffee in the evening, In the morning there is an equal esspresso to milk ratio.
  12. awesome man, 300 bucks is a steal when compared to the 560 at other shops!
  13. thanks for the offer, really kind, but i am not keen to try something new during the race
  14. hey guys, thats good advice. i have been using the product though, used it last year and loved it! have not being doing as much riding this year which i why im hoping to go halvies on a tub.
  15. hey Hubbers Im wanting to get some EPIC PRO ALL-IN-ONE for the argus, but wont be needing a whole tub as i wont finish it before it expires. So i was wondering if there is someone in a similar position, or who wants to try it out without spending R500 bucks. I stay in wynberg, looking to have it sorted by sat afternoon. drop me a mail if your interested. adamyeld@yahoo.com
  16. thanks, me to, fav part on it though is the blue second hand
  17. my new puma!
