  1. Hi I had look and it creaked as it got older switched to 6800c personally find them to be better.
  2. Hi guys Did the greenbelt last week and must say that it was like being transported to an exotic mtb trail with varying levels of challenges for the entire family.I guess it's also a private due to live in the constantia area in which u telepathy away from the local masses.
  3. Hi I can't comment on the price however I must say that due to the depreciation of the rand 2016 Scott cr1 10 models sell for 31k thru Jowetts. I'm not sure how tall you are but I'm 1.85 and I ride a large Scott foil10, my first bike was also an XL and I found it to be uncomfortably big. The large for me is perfect, and I'm well proportioned ito torso vs legs length.
  4. its the bruised ego we dealing with after being told to F Off. The initial incident of going through a red robot is not the issue as no cyclist can honestly admit to never having gone thru a red robot and the justification that it's fine to do it while in a generic 'trek' jersey but 'not in my Netgear jersey as I represent my company' is b@llshit. Please let us not judge others especially if we have done the same more so not to confront others on their safety decisions
  5. Honestly the op has acknowledged he has broken the law as well, this is not about them not stopping at the red light but more about his EGO being hurt when he was told to F off, the thread was started at 6.50 therefore the incident must have happened very early so what's the big deal
  6. Hey stretch thanks for the recommendation will Def have a look at it although I must admit, nudity is not all tht important as I'd like to leave something for the imagination.
  7. Rip it's sad to lose a life irrespective of the scenario. A family is mourning the loss of a Loved one due to impatience or frustraton of the driver to get to a delivery point 5 minutes sooner than waiting for a safe pass of the cyclist.
  8. Hi yes I do, I guess there needs to be some chemistry and also the need to fit into the role with her being a credible competent actress. Dexter sister IMHO tries to hard so the role is not naturally her. While the hottie in Chicago PD...is just so naturally her role the fact that she is easy on the eyes is a huge bonus.
  9. Limitless wow first episode brilliant, 2nd hmmm ok is...I may be a bit shallow for that I apologize but the lead female.. Dexter sister just doesn't do of for me she was irritatin in dexter and now spoils ' limitless' for me. Chicago PD tht has to be a favorite on catch up the the moment explosive hard hitting crime fighting team with a beautiful female in the elite detective unit under voight, good entertainment without complex sub plots
  10. Gears are like condoms.... Better to have it and not use it than to need it and not have it. I have 11- 28 just in case ...
  11. Hi I had an Anthem great bike loved riding it but have now moved to a Pyga and it has to be the most confident inspiring bike I've ridden..for around 30k I'd rather buy a 2015 2nd hand Pyga than new Anthem. There are a few on the hub currently. Good luck with your decision.
  12. Iv had pair a few years and absolutely love the inserts and radon combo. I went with polarized lens to give optimum glare protection yes doesn't hv the versatility of the photochromic lense but offers maximum protection. It took me a few rides to adjust.
  13. Hi Firstly for many reasons mentioned above a garmin is much the only way to go to measure ur cadence speed history etc....yah yah I know there are others like polar, suunto etc I've had them all nothing better than a garmin. The only question is which garmin..I've got an 800 it's amazing bit of over kill tho if had to do over 500/510/520 would be sufficient for my needs..I would also suggest the same for you... My proposal is as follows..sell the iPhone 5, take the money to buy the garmin use the Sony as ur primary phone..problem solved..what's the big deal u really don't need 2 phones.
  14. Saddle bag and camel back if stage races. Hate things in pockets besides few bars or gu
  15. Hmmm choices... I have the 800 and had garment 610 watch You can't compare the 2 IMHO would say the 810 way better then as a treat get f3.
  16. Really great watch..amazing skills fantastic scenery.
  17. True detectives way to deep and complex for me. Top tv shows thanks to explorer and wifi Ballers..I think the rock is just too cool. Chicago PD hard core detective easy to follow. Suits..my man Harvey way too smooth. I know this bit silly but I enjoy Storage wars and pawn stars They 100 getting exciting.
  18. Terrible news. Sends shivers down my spine as this can easily be me with the current disregard for cyclists lives on SA Reds and my family hearing this dreadful. RIP

    Rugby...

    Hey guys I have to say it was really disappointing to watch that game.. I was so excited at the Jesse / d Allende centre combination, hungry pair that was gave AB lots of headaches..fast ball out to them exciting rugby..enter Jean d V..omg usual boring killing the ball rugby..no creativity..had he not been the captain he would've been dropped in favor of form youthful players.. drop Jean....
  20. Look as I said I hear your argument and I guess we are all pretty gatvol of the levels of crimes being experienced especially as cyclists. It has affected my frequency of riding as before I would get on th bike go a quickie but the risk an the effort to get a group together I jut not worth it. I honestly wish there were alternatives to carrying weapons ..like a care free completely safe environment in which to cycle. It's really sad as I basically stay on table mountain and the convenience is second to none. Maybe your approach will work and hopefully after a few muggers are killed this will deter more from entering this 'profession' Good luck and more importantly be safe out there as it really has become a jungle out there.
  21. hi i hear your argument and agree with your sentiments..the reality is the legal system does not allow for us to take any action unless we are in immediate danger...yes there have been circumstances in which ppl have the time to react but most times the instinctive response has been one of flight. i too am a proudly South African gun owner and have been on many survival training courses so optomise my skills with my Glock 19..most of the hijackings occur when the cyclists was surprized and attacked unlike running where your hands are free cycling requires both hands firmly on the bars and unless u are given the opportunity to bring the bike to a complete stop then lift the cycling top to access your firearm by that time u would have injured...unlike us cyclists these F@ck heads are armed, in groups and use the element of surprize against us by hiding in bushes and jumping out at the very last second. Lets put this in the context of the law..i had a home invasion, i heard a noise and when i investigated these cowards saw me they ran away, despite having a firarm and them being in my home i could not do a thing..the items stolen was about 20k, insurance paid out 20k no loss to me really..had i adopted the rambo approach..the police confirmed that had i shot any of them while fleeing id be held for attempted murder..legal fees would have been eye watering amounts..so in this scenario not using a weapon was best for me.. Before i jump to any conclusions, please let me understand your modus operandi if you were to be surprized by a group of knife/panga wielding individuals on a deserted trail..what would you reaction time be..
  22. hi sorry to hear about ur exp of attmpted hijacking, please give us more details of the area etc, im also in the wc and i feel like a prisoner at home looking at my bikes too scared venture out on a spontaneous ride without the cycling group. any heads up on potential hotspots is appreciated, glad you and bike survived this ordeal.
