  1. The rubber strap on my Leyzne Strip Drive light has finally given up the ghost after many years of service. I can't seem to find a replacement available in SA easily. What have you guys done in this case? Can't bring myself to say its time for a new light if its just the strap thats gone.
  2. I got over excited and bought mine his a bit before he was tall enough to be able to put his feet down nicely. When he saw it he was so keen to get on and ride. Didn't want us to hold or anything (which obviously we had to because his feet could barely touch the ground) Had to take it away until he's a bit taller....that was one of the toughest things I;ve had to do. Poor little oke was not happy

    Vuelta 2022

    Is live coverage really only starting at 15h50 today? Already used to the Tour type coverage starting before 14h00
  4. https://championbike.co.za/products/champion-bike-black?variant=21776018440270&currency=ZAR&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&utm_campaign=gs-2021-10-12&utm_source=google&utm_medium=smart_campaign&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0JiXBhCFARIsAOSAKqAO7Dff6OCZ7Kjvyfz9bep1KnEk92noA7Lx20Dzh6zLofDVmALkmfcaAsNnEALw_wcB Or one of these? Any reviews on the champion?
  5. Anyone tried one of those Simple Sam balance bikes for kids? Son is nearing 18months and it's time to get him a balance bike Edited to add: I think seat height will be the most important factor for me as my son is small and I'd like to start him on the bike pretty early
  6. Anyone here done the Knysna Forest Marathon? Was it alot slower than your normal marathon race pace? Wondering what kind of gravel surface we are talking about here...i.e. lots of loose small stones or relatively hardpack gravel/graded road?
  7. If we're talking average runner then absolutely. Look at Comrades...50% of the field finish in the last hour. You could argue that if they only had 11hours some of them would get a move on and finish a bit quicker but if we are talking average runner in South Africa...then yeah I reckon there are more that can finish Comrades than run a 37min 10km
  8. Been with them for a number of years and very happy. No issues at all and have had great service. I recommend them to everyone. I haven't had to claim yet though so they aren't fully tested I suppose.
  9. Nice. I've seen Billy Bolt rocking these and they look interesting. Let us know what you think of it
  10. Thanks for the advice everyone, appreciate it
  11. Thanks for all the info. The low ride height is something I didn't realise and given how most weekends away involve some stretch of gravel roads that isn't great to hear (but very good to know). Yeah I've realised the maxi only comes in the diesel version. Will just have to keep looking
  12. This is why I'm steering clear of the TDI version. While I definitely prefer the extra torque, and its noticeable, at my budget you're looking at tdi's with more than 120,000kms on them and I'm wondering when the turbo is going to go. I'm hoping the petrol will be lower cost of maintenance in the long run even if fuel consumption is a bit higher. I've seen some terrible ones out there already so fingers crossed I get a good one!!! We've had plenty of VWs in the past an no issues with repairs or reliability so hoping that trend continues
  13. Ya the 2nd hand market is nuts for sure. I completely agree with your point about going away...when we go away its camp cots, etc all of which take a ton of space
