But we digress. The Evo SE looks the business. ???? Definitely on my shopping list. Fortunately we have a lot of time to save up...........

Sold my 4 months old SRAM AXS Red groupset for half the price because the brakes failed three times and 4 bike shops were unable to fix the front derailleur chain drop. If you read up on it, various people across the world have the chain drop issue. 2 of my other friends are waiting months now for replacement of the front AXS shifter as the brakes fade within 2 months. The last straw for me was this month when my brand new Zipp 353 hub failed after 500km and I had to wait 3 months for a replacement hub and even then the local dealer charged me transport fees because "shipping is not covered under warranty claims". This on 'n RRP R80 000 wheelset. What a joke. Fooled me a couple of times now. Not again.

I will only buy one when it comes out with Shimano. If it doesn't, I'll take the SRAM ???? off and burn it.

Stages takes left power and multiplies it with two. (very roughly put) I have ridden Stages for a few years now and have compared it to my Power2max ang Garmin Vector 3 and Quarq readings and it is pretty much on par with each other. Main thing will be to measure your FTP and intervals etc always on the ONE system.

Each time we go up there we stop and take photos and just enjoy the little climb. (I am too fat to give a go at anything over 2% gradient these days. ????)

This is pretty decent, peaking at around 40% gradient https://www.strava.com/segments/3866479?filter=overall

Except for the one time they did not reply to a query I had with regards to a glove that they don't stock, I have had only good service from Castelli South Africa. The price advertised is the price they charged you. If you don't want the product at the invoice price, leave it.

Don't have a shim but I might have a 31.6 seatpost for you if that might help? I will have to check though. Let me know

Frosty..........you know I LOVE your events and have done 12 Carnival City races in my life. But on a practical side....................... Not risking my R500 as non-refundable amount. Covid dictates and there is a 99.5% chance of the event cancelling I place my R500 on the line for 9 other dudes to have a secure entry and then last minute they cancel leaving me out of pocket I'll rather wait until someone invites me as part of their team.

If you can keep them in a warm dark place for around 3-6 months, you'll be able to get around 20% more life out of them..............

This from Katie just over a year ago............

Been using the Varia since before they were available in SA. Brilliant piece of equipment I can no longer ride without. Even cooler when you know it was developed by a South African! Pity the Cape Town boys get to play with new tech. Enjoy!

E-bikers have been part of Sani2C for 2 or 3 or so years now, no issues.

Same organisers (if I remember correctly) So that might also be a bit of a dilemma. On a positive not. 14 August. Rooiwal is back!

In general...........speaking quantities....... looking around me at friends riding daily outside? Not many battery packs. People hate them. They scratch your frame. Heavy. Crappy mounting. Cables everywhere. Way, WAY more lights on bikes that has the battery and light as one unit. Lyzene, Bontrager, Exposure etc. Just a thought............

On the maps with the 6......... I have the 6X Saphire (Nowhere does it say "Pro". All the normal mapping functions. Can even see the map on the watch during the ride and after the ride in the summary. Hope that helps.

Wait a month (or two) and get the Fenix 7. Lot's of rumors running around about August 2021.........

Sure they don't plan it. But they are LAZY and don't know their products. You should have a fair good grip on what is on the bike vs what is adverised. For that they don't deserve the sale. Last time I was in Sukkelab in Pretoria the dude tuned me that Pirelli does not manufacture a 28mm road tyre....."look at the box sir......its says so" My *** frikkie......

Don't get too excited.............. I a city with 2.4m people and 13 bike shops, no one will have............

They started at the same garage as us. They went South. We did North. North was better. ????

We dipped to -3 in Pretoria this morning. Numb nuts has a new meaning.

It's because next year this time you will wish him some MORE best wishes. No use spending all your wishes so far in advance. ????

Happy Happy oom. Hope it is a good one. Sure looks like you started off well. ????

GP5000LT working well on 353s. Use at own risk.
