Would love to do this again but alas ! I would probably need a year to prepare in my current condition

As a Campy die-hard i must concure witht he auther of the article - I think Campy lost their way somewhere. Back in the day Guppos were freely availble both new and used - even with the useless local importer - I have rebuilt many Ergo levers and could always get spares, now one has to scrounge locally and they are getting harder to source overseas as well. Anyone with an older Gruppo needs to look after it - If it fails it will be wall art. Never thought i'd see the day that NAGO would standardize on Shitmano - what sacrilege is this I read. Thankfully i dont build road bikes anymore and all mine that i hardly ride are full Campy equiped so they should last longer than me. If i did build a new road bike i think i would move over to SRAM now. Because "I'd walk before i ride Shitmano"

Ye i had the problem on Iphone I deleted the app and rebooted the Iphone Factory rest the Fitbit as well Reloaded the app and it worked - Been working ever since

Google is your friend manual_charge_4_en_US.pdf

Whats happened to FRAIL ? - Never hear anything anymore from the guy

29 front - 27.5 back ? hasnt this been tried before and failed to take off

Shitmano SPD's are the bomb, its about the only thing Shitmano designed properly The platform or cage pedals are more for easier to get your foot clipped in and uncleating but keeping you foot on the pedal when you doing rocky or technical sections. Pain is more to do with your shoes than pedals - make sure your pedals aren't set to tight to give your foot some float while riding. And make sure your shoes have rigid soles and the cleat screws aren't pushing up through the inner sole of the shoe - this places pressure on the ball of your sole and can cause a lot of pain

I drilled all my frames with a 4 mm hole must be ctr to make sure all the water drains properly - I also blow compressed air through the hole when i clean my bikes and when you install the BB give the internals a good coating of grease - I strip my BB every 6 months and clean it out. By the time people realize there is something wrong with their BB its too late4 and almost always because of moisture

In very good condition without any corrosion on the rear dropouts - All original Campy components as built by AvH, then i would say 20 - 25K to a collector - Don't let lowballers on here try to convince you otherwise Problem is, no one seems to have the apatite for collector COLNAGO's at the moment, I have 2 X C40's a DREAM and a CT1 been trying to move for nearly 12 months now. Oh for the days when you listed a COLNAGO and you had a line of buyers at the gate on the same day

Schweet - But i only have 1 kidney left and not even COLNAGO gonna get that.

Ordered lots of stuff from them, but only when i go overseas and get it delivered to my hotel - Def legit

Wow! Finally a really cool local solution, now i can get back to using my favorite riding sub glasses thanks 👍 - BikeHub always seems to deliver 👌

Can't you take the battery on as hand luggage like you have to with power banks etc. Maybe check with the airline

The struggle is real I tell you - You have to put your phone on a selfie stick to see who's calling you 😁

I recently sold a fairly old SCOTT which i upgraded v brakes to hydraulic brakes and tubeless conversion for 3K on Market Place to a mother who wanted to follow her kids while they did cross country running - So there is always people looking for good condition old bikes out there. Also lots of workers looking for affordable bikes to commute instead of paying for taxi's. My gardenologists saves 65 ronds a day since I gave him an old MTB I would build it up make sure its in proper condition mechanically and list it on Market Place for 2 - 2.5K it will sell

Not sure what drink to recommend as its more a personal thing - What works for me may not work for you - For what its worth though i have used 32Gi Endure for years now - I try for low Gi hydration and eats on the bike to avoid the dreaded spike. As far as your eyesight though i could help as i had the same issues - My optician told me there's nothing wrong with my eyes, its's my arms that are getting too short. At the time i was using +2 reading glasses from DikSkem, but these were useless on the bike and looked stupid. I could read the Garmin but when i looked up at the trail and the hot chick in front of me it was a blur. On a trip to Germany I went into a motorbike shop to get some parts for a mate and came across bi-focal riding glasses - they have lens inserts at he bottom near the nose in the main lens. Like the Dikskem glasses you can select from +1 to +3 They work perfect, the lens is in a position so when you glance down at your Garmin without moving your head you automatically look through the lens at the screen - When you look up you looking through the normal part of the glasses. I never been able to find them locally though but you can order from their website - I have the dark for normal riding and the clear for night riding https://www.helbrecht.com/HSE-Sporteyes-Bifocal-Sport-Sunglasses-SPRINTER-23-2231-a_1

Yes sadly all us old timers have had to revert to 12 28 clusters and compact cranks but luckily Campy still caters for us

And lets not forget - When jumping into a sprint in one thumb motion dropping the gear from you 23 to 11 in a split second dropping all the others who are clikety clacking through their gears while you cross the finish line to take yellow

They came up on my bookface feed - So was wondering the same thing - they have some really cool bicycle workshop tools and really well priced

I was looking at the KAROORAK by MTB Africa - Its a bit pricey but built proper and can take 4 bikes and its built locally - I also had a question about the vertical load on tow bars as I have the Thule removeable one which is a goose neck design where they indicate the max load should not exceed 100 kg - BTW this is a SA road regulation based on the vertical load for the draw bar on a trailer, I doubt bike racks were around when they wrote the regulation - So I believe the vertical weight load limitation the manufacturers say not to exceed is more about a safety instruction to keep you within the regulation rather than the possibility of the tow bar failing under load. When i look at our tow bars they are really heavy duty in construction and i would imagine that could easily handle more than 100kg vertical static load - The problem I suppose is if you hit a bump or a pothole that load will increase exponentially through inertia. But for 2 E-Bikes and the ease of loading a heavy bike, I would go for the KAROORAK I think its a really good & practical design BTW I am not in any way affiliated with them LOL https://www.mtbafrica.com/karoorak.html

Ye - He left out the T

You can thank the importer for that. They really don't do the brand any justice

I would agree, they really chucked their name away with Ekar Campy needs to stay on the road, no place for them offroad. Let SRAM and the others fight it out on the trails. Oh and what happened to all out old signatures, I was very fond of mine "I'll walk before I ride Shitmano"

Reported to Admin !! If they don't ban you then please ban yourself

Change to days to years is what i would support. But more importantly, the local importers should be banned for life for messing up a premium brand locally Campagnolo wears in while the rest wears out
