Can't get any good pics of it. The new Di2 is soon to be release and a couple of spy shots have been fired............but the cranks of the new Di2 is for sure more pointy than the old ones...............so maybe not that.

Saw Gary hanging around yes and also Mr Steyn as mechanic at the EF camp.

Easy rule N+1

Happiness is a feeling, right? ????

I've got Shimano 105 FD, RD, chain, cassette and shifters. All working condition.

Surely geo restrictions will apply and with the Mnet *$(*$% being the monopoly in SA, you won't be able to do GCN+

When did the first bike race in history start? When the second bike arrived. Make no mistake. Your time will be measured and judged by all...............????

That is going to be a bastard with regards to the launch of the new Di2. I see the new Di2 12speed is being ridden by one or two guys from DSM at the moment. Not that cycling related stuff ever gets mentioned in the Bikehub unless the importers pay the admins to throw a marketing thread. hahahhaha

I actually did buy one or two. ???? Purely because at that stage (11 years ago) phone cameras were not such a big thing with quality photos and I did not even knew that they covered this specific event.......so it was quite fun to reminisce...good times.....

mmmmmmmm Tshwane had 1732+ finishers across the 3 distances..... Not "small" by any means. I was actually surprised to see so many people there. Was awesome to see. Overpriced...........very very much agree.

I also have one of these. Folds nice and small away when you get warm

On the Tshwane Classic there were no "official" photographers present. Cycle Nation is always at the races and take very cool pics along the day. You'll be able to find them on Facebook.

You get nice 3D prints to fit your Garmin varia light to these wholes also.

The route shown in link was (for me) 100% okay. I did not feel unsafe at any point. I think if you head out North on the Hayzyview road towards Bushbuck ridge, it might get a bit dodge. We did this ride back in September last year. The circled bit was where you went through the informal settlement. At no stage did we feel unsafe but I won't ride alone there at night. https://www.strava.com/activities/4051851641

https://www.strava.com/activities/4047935752 Did this loop a couple of times now. Good shoulder for most of the time. If you want to climb a bit more you can continue out to Lydenburg a little further and get Long Tom pass in also

2 weeks turnaround for UK is also not that bad. I am impressed. CSS usually takes 2 weeks to answer a mail...... MaxxD......that is some serious lumens. ????

For the rear......Garmin Varia.

Been cycling in the dark for close to 15 years now. Garmin. Lezyne. Bontrager. There really is just ONE light out there that is worth the money for me: https://www.exposurelights.co.za/ Lasts for 10+ years Decent run time.........3 hours at max and 12 hours at low......and by low I mean you can still do singletrack flat out on a night ride No external battery pack The local dude sits in Nelspruit and I received decent service from him. Got my second light there. First one was bought in the UK.

I would love to plot this thing in Veloviewer...........can't seem to get it right: https://www.strava.com/segments/3866479 40% gradient.............

I think it is Zipp that makes a little steel spanner

Sounds absolutely amazing! It's a date. ????

Sad really...............the masses can hoer and remoer but we can't race. Saw a couple of videos again of the clubs.............scary stuff. Guess racing in general will be off the cards again for months to come...........hearing rumours of Level2 lockdown to control the minions and help the police work even less. Whatever. That said...........the Cradle in the middle of winter racing...........not a very bright idea in my opinion......thus the September date will attract more participants I think.

Think the race is governed by UCI rules. That said, it is WAY too difficult to enforce........the Ooms and Tannies would rather face off head-on traffic in order to should at the VA rider to get out of the VB bunch. Stouter............

Still crazy high compared to us mortals. I wonder how long us mere mortals will be able to suck wheel in the bunch before getting dropped.......
