  1. I am also a big Goodyear fan. Running the 30mm Eagle F1 on the road bike and hitting constantly the 7000km mark before I get my first puncture. I cannot complain. 😎
  2. Well. I've guess they wont be getting my money this year. DC is definitely my first choice and looking forward to it. One would have thought CSA would have looked at this and think "How do we grow this sport? What would get the most road cyclist to join the race? Aaahhhhwe...let's have it the day after the DC. Approved" The mind boggels.
  3. JIp. The "extension option was around R4k but would not have worked as my tjor has a fold-away knob and putting the extension on and taking it off every weekend would be a real shlep
  4. So recently had to do the same research. Basically you have the option of three bike racks. Thule Outpace 2 (or 3) I was at Thule in Menlyn and they did not tell me about this rack. Later I found out that Specialized has the distribution on these racks and hence Thule not telling me about it. Not sure. Thule tried to sell me a VeloSpace which will work if you buy the added bracket with to get around the sparewheel. Both these options are around R25k. I went to Solomons cycles for option 3. Buzzrack Eassy 4 You can easy mount two bikes and cost R13k I have to say this. Thule is better. Quality wise the Thule is nice. And with Thule, the clamps can lock. Buzzrack only locks on the towbar and not the bikes. I like the mounting better on the Tule and if I could fork out double what I paid for the Buzzrack I would have gone for the Outpace. Thus far the buzzrack works and does what it needs to do every so once a month
  5. Cruising on Sunday next to Marloth Park's fence........ Waayyyyy to close for comfort......
  6. Daai ding stink nog soos 'n Hilux bakkie se leer sitplek so nuut is hy
  7. jip. Follow them on Strava. They send a lot of stuff out there. Special Sunday rides where they open from 5-9 every now and again and then most Tuesdays and Thursday evenings they are open from 5pm. Lots of runners also doing laps.
  8. Ineos new colors
  9. Not a bad way to recharge, that.................🤙
  10. Into the misty highveld
  11. By FAR the best upgrade I have done in recent years: If you have Di2 with the little electronic buttons on the top of the lever. They are always a bit of a hit and miss.....search......maybe I pressed it, maybe I didnt. This is the answer: https://share.temu.com/7HnWUnUTwpB
  12. I've had a good experience with Goodyear's F1 tyre https://www.goodyearbike.com/tires/eagle-f1-r/ 7550km before I had to retire them. Currently on their Vector R's, sitting on 5200km with no punctures or hickups thus far.

  14. My eyes still hurts from last year. 😆
  15. Love that smile. What is is all about. Well done julle.
  16. Insta? Youtube? Webpage?
  17. We were talking about this the past week. People compete in less events. And in doing so their bunch riding skills SUCK. I have been doing this sport for over 30 years now and you can immediately see if someone can ride in 'n bunch or not. And saying that, I also have examples of club mates that regularly ride in club bunch and still overlap dangerous wheels. Some people are just not skillful like that
  18. Flippen nice day out. Well organised in my books. (I was part of the front bunches though so that helped....i.e zero congestion at the water and medals tables) Number pickups was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Can't stress this enough) Finishing area with the podium presentation in the hall this year was better IMO. The shade really helped. And looking at the Gravel Burn riders, I am glad it was sunny and warm our side..........

  20. Sorry. Almost thought I could help but only saw now it post mount which is, in my box of spares, a bit of a rarity.
  21. For us dumb people....... Rotor spacer?
  22. Jip. Collected my number from Lynnwood cyclery today. 10min away from work. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Much easier and zero pain or traffic.
  23. Jip. And these days not even accurate entry numbers are given. Because its just a number that no one can prove or disprove. But the finishers figure gives you a fair indication as to what the numbers are. The only time the finisher figure will be skewed is when there is rain or heavy wind where the 'normal' DNF and DNS will increase because of adverse weather avoidance.
