Lennick promotions already do this. I think it is quite cool. "Series of events" that you entries at a reduced fee

I'll license up when CSA starts to SEED people according to ability and not according to the amount they pay.

I am on the other side of the coin. I try to do everything. On average 12 races per year. Lots of fun. I normally go around the potholes by turning my handlebars. 😁 Cars will ALWAYS be there. I have learned to adopt and just enjoy my sport carefully but to the max. But that is just me.

I haven't had a racing license since 2021. Just membership. Works fine.

Event Name: Jade's Fundraiser Rooiwal ChallengeWhen: 02/09/2023Where: Rooiwal, GautengCategory: RoadRooiwal race on 2 September 2023. Go to Event Page.

Not Gauteng but Panorama is coming up. Always good ride. Kremetart in early September. Best race in SA! Rooiwal happening 9 August and 2 September Pity about the Germiston race. I've done 12 and was always a lekker jol

Who are these people? Never heard of them or saw their results up high? Why do they dope? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Shame man. It's not like Vets racing is that hard.......bahahhahaha. Old farts and their egos......

This. Happens to car tyres a lot (potholes) Small cut on the inside of the tyre that does not go right through and thus the air gets trapped between layers.

Two things. I get the item packaged, ready to go before I place my add. Seconly. I have just too glad I get to sell the item. These days buyers are far and few in between. So in general I try to get the item shipped within a day. It's just good practice. Creates trust. But that's just me.

2 Years now I have moved away from the "Buy your seeding from CSA" ego **** suckered by age cat riders that has R1k to waste per year. This social rider still enjoys his races. Seed me on ability or just leave it.

Loosen the two screws on the Garmin mount. Turn correct as required. Drill two new holes. Tighten again

I was wondering the exact same thing! Maybe a bit moer toe after having done the Giro? (Like MvdP was last year?)

I think you are on the right track. Secondhand. Try the bike out. Go for a couple of rides. See if you like it. Rim brakes will work just FINE. Frame material will also not be a huge consideration on your first bike. Get something cheap. Figure out if you like it. If you do, flog it for the same value and then look at the latest and greatest.

How will seeding work? Or is it "I pay CSA money for a license and get auto seeding because I am old" type events?

Dont doubt you. I doubt the organization. No one says you, or anyone is getting anything. But someone is. Millions. With ZERO visibility. Show us that statements. Easy. Visible.

Well. The financials were published previously and we had an opportunity to see what goes where. This is no longer the case and the thought of "cloak and dagger" comes to mind. But maybe that is just me, living in South Africa, expecting the worse.

Perhaps you won't mind sharing the GPX file or Strava link with us? Would like to see.

Over the past 20 winters in Pretoria with anything from -6 I have had only 2 gloves that work in those temps. Assos Fugu Assos Ultraz. No other gloves work is serious cold that I could find.

Avg temp per week taken from my avg temp per ride plotted over 52 weeks in a year. Green line is current 2023 Blue line is avg per week over the past 10 years. Long story short, we have another 8 weeks of cold before temps will start to rise again.

I have an issue with this part............ To promote cycling as a SPORT.....like in Europe and USA for instance...... Surely you have to have it for Elite level only? Involving amateurs (us) will mean that there will NOT be full road closure (because we take the whole day to finish a 100km route). Just not practical. So CSA takes a couple of races that already exist, already have organizers, already have sponsors and logistics etc, band them together and call it their series. WTF................

I've taken my lefty to https://www.cogentindustries.co.za/ They are in Garsfontein, Pretoria. Very knowledgeable and helpful and service was done in 2 days.

What a view!

That team edition is a work of art! Build that with all the prettiness and then take the time on the SI6

I've got the MT8 on my own bike now for nearly a year. They work PERFECT. Modulation is amazing. Much, much better than the XTR I had on there previously. Not that the XTR were bad in any way...... Can't really give you feedback on very HARD braking as I tend to be on the conservative side when it comes to risking my ass on the trails. But the Wines2Whales was a pleasure riding them. So by so that my partner immediately went and bought a set coming back from that weekend
