  1. I'm lost here ! Why would anyone even think of putting suspension fork on a gravel bike ?
  2. Good question - Even scarier is bottled water - literraly millions are sold every year and i bet no one ever checks to see how safe they are. I mainly use Camelbak bottles - All these bottles handed out as freebies are cheap junk and i turf them with the goodiebag.
  3. Yep to good old days Remember when they rolled over 25% of your previous years points into the new year. My gripe with them is the changing of the goal posts every year and then trying to cover it up by offering you additional discounts and free s#$t on things you would never use. Another gripe is the miles or points system for say the wife and me - I have a CC i never use but i can use the app to spend my points - My wife does not have any banking products so her points are only usefull for free coffees. Now if they pooled all the points so they could all be used on the main members banking profile - Would be a game changer and i'd stop being grumpy
  4. I tried flights and car hire in Dec for CT, i get -30% on flights Got all cheaper by booking direct with the airline and car rental company without discounts Its a scam i tell you !
  5. For me Vitality only offers a huge positive on my life products intergrater payback. I also have an HPP that requires me to be on vitality which pays out my intergrater savings in 3 years time which is a serious amount of money. I've been on diamond since it was introduced to leverage the max intergrator payback. I took out their CC when it was first introduced so i accumulated lots of points in the old days - Now days its a waste of time - All the miles or points my wife earns are sitting on her account which she can get free coffe vouchers for - 70 000 points is a lot of coffee - They now want her to open a Disco bank account to use the points - I told them which finger they can go sit on. Interest rates on savings = P#ss poor STD bank giving me 2.0% higher than what they offered on a 3.0 mill investment Motor vehicle insurance = P#ss poor almost 20% higher than my broker. Bank charges = almost double what i'm pying at STD bank Oh and their express line at airport passport control is longer thant he normal line I'm so over their BS I'm really looking forward to tht HPP payout so i can tell them where to shove Vitality
  6. Jussie, you old hey I still got my cloth bages we used to get
  7. When i saw this pop up on their website I wondered why I ran out with my CC but the wife caught me at the top of our road I'm now gated until the sale is over ๐Ÿ˜ญ https://www.trekbikes.com/za/en_ZA/bikes/mountain-bikes/electric-mountain-bikes/e-caliber/c/B356/
  8. I've bought all my AXS stuff overseas whn i been on business trip = literlally half the price especially spare batteries
  9. Yes i get what you are saying but - With the old gate you could jump onto the trail just after entering. We have never ridden to the trail head on the tar road, we jumped onto the trail 50m past the gate and jumped off at the same place to ride back to flamingo. Its not like its 1 or 2 riders - there are lots of riders who do or did it this way, most already have bands. I understand shutting the gate due to consturction as a lot of cars used it as well - but for season pass holders riding in - Not clever - They already have an alternative gate which is manned by security but only allow cars in for the Sea Scouts - Why not use this entrance ? You us old Valers think we own Modders trail park, so when they change things we get very abrasive ๐Ÿคฌ๐Ÿ˜
  10. Of course there always be that one guy with incinuations, luckily you ended with a ? so i'll indulge your curiosity I been riding Modders since its inception, in fact we rode there even before it became a trail park. When the Trail head was developed these last couple of years the old gate was still an alternative entrance and used by many of us who rode in from Flamingo And no we did not rogue ride for free we pay at the gate with cash / card and some or most riders have their annual pass bands that they have to show at the gate. My rant is more about the access being completly taken away. The very least they could do is keep an alternative entry even if its only for the Annual pass band holders. I hope my explanantion has satisfied your curiosity and relieved your stress on the thought that there are non paying rogue riders on the trails
  11. So once again the old gate is now closed due to construction - Really irritating for the guys riding from Falmingo Center now have to road it to the trail head to stand in a 40 min line to pay and ride. Just when things really seem to be happening Taroko decide to mess it up. Come on Taroko make a plan here - If i'm gonna have to drive to your trail head all the time then i might as well go ride at Northern Farms or go ride with the DOCS in the Souf.
  12. Was thinking the same thing - just takes that one guy to clip a cone into the group and the race officials will be standing there thinking HTF do we get that wrong ! ๐Ÿคจ
  13. Haha - Set up a doping check gate at CTCT after the medal collection - I wonder how many riders will be bailing over the fences ๐Ÿ˜
  14. Would love to do this again but alas ! I would probably need a year to prepare in my current condition
