  1. That's pretty decent for disc bike. Those wheels are SUPER light.
  2. Saw a very nice build this morning also: I like the rigid fork more
  3. I got second in A bunch last year. 2:29 (38 avg) Everyone was pretty much together yes.
  4. Got a reply via WA now that A batch is rated 45km/h average. That would give the expected winning time of the A bunch at 2:06. 5 Minutes faster than last year's Elite winner Reinhardt Janse van Rensburg What a F($%$ JOKE
  5. I'd go for the 454 just because visually they are the sexietst wheels alive. Love them. Practically. The hubs are BEYOND **** in my opinion and they are super expensive. 353 same hubs but less money (Still priced at that of the GDP of Zim) but super light. Also........places like the Cape will be more stable riding the 353 profile. I was never a fan of the Enve wheels as the different rim depts. front and back bugs my OCD. The Enve also depends on what hubs you build in them? But. The 454 will be my choice. If I could get a good deal on a set, I'd buy them today.
  6. Can't you just box it and fly it with your baggage when you head over?
  7. Goes without saying in any country. Frist go try it out on the 32. I know guys riding their MTB's in the club road ride, averaging 40+ over 2 hours. It can be done. So try it out with the 32 and if it doesn't work, throw on a 34 or 36. R1500 should solve that easily. That's like €2 or something up there. 😁 I would definitely invest in some sort of gravel or commuter road bike depending on the roads that are commuting on. The wind is going to be your enemy.
  8. Looking at my own history of entering races over the years, you can clearly see a pattern. I wont muck around with bad seeding or service if I was a race organiser these days........ After 22 of these I just might call it quits and never do it again.
  9. Nothing received yet. Requested yesterday also.
  10. 2:29 last year. (A bunch podium) That deserves a Seeding C Interesting...........
  11. Sadly, when it comes to good braking in the wet, it is a HUGE function of the wheel and not necessarily of the pads. I had various wheelsets over the past 28 years of racing and riding. If we talk about carbon wheels, the best ones were my Zipp 404 with the little ribs on the brake tract. The most shocking carbon wheels in the wet? Lightweight.
  12. Info received from one of the club mates that was at SAPS is that the bikes found were the bikes of illegal immigrants that were arrested. Not stolen bikes necessarily.
  13. Will keep ears to the ground. Gut feel it will be at Boschkop police station. But I might be wrong
  14. Stick with Swissstop. They are that good. Also. Zipp tangente (grey) as well as Lightweight pads are manufactured by Swissstop. If you can some of that you are also good to go.
  15. Morning everyone. I went past the road block on Solomon this morning. Seems SAPS actually got hold of some stolen bikes. Message that was forwarded on our cycling group: "Heads up everyone, there's a huge police roadblock on Solomon Mahlango near Glen Village and they recovered stolen mountain bikes from a truck (too many to count!). If you know of anyone who recently lost a bike, they should enquire at SAPS"
  16. I have been riding with https://www.exposurelights.co.za/ for close to 10 years now. Not one day wasted on thinking this was a waste. Night rides on the MTB and then loads and LOADS for rides starting at 4/5am heading out. Expensive. But it lasts a lifetime. Serious strong. No external battery pack. Solid mount.
  17. But people who don't greet fellow riders on their way to Spoke Coffee shop have to wait longer for refunds. 💥
  18. I have been refunded about a week ago.
  19. I've got a 31.6mm and a big ass hammer?
  20. Well. You guys say that. It it pertains to chafing. But shammy cream in general has antibacterial qualities. So it actually does help prevent saddle sores and goggas eating you on long rides. So there is that.
  21. Back in the day, the first carbon bikes had alu lugs. I had such a Trek. Cannondale later made frames with the rear triangle Alu and the top tube and down tube carbon. It was called the Systemsix Full carbon meant the whole frame together with the lugs and tubes are all made carbon
  22. You have it lucky then. Gauteng is then agter die tyd. Couldn't care less I think
