  1. I'm not riding August in March but as a guideline, the past two races I got BL start with a 15 seeding. I see I am now back in "AL" with a 11.89 seeding based on Ride for Sight (already on PPA seeding webpage)
  2. Nope. Either Oculux buys from Luxottica or they import "grey" Not sure.
  3. You are confusing Racetec chip (Which is obsolete) with the new seatpost mounted Finishtime/ractech chip. No more ankle mounting even if you want to
  4. Finishtime = Racetec. Racetec = Finishtime. How they interact or where the database is, no one knows. Someone bought over someone or so I've heard. If you "download certificate" on the Finishtime website, your certificate has a Racetec logo on. The seeding system in SA is fukutitteded
  5. But imagine how cool it would be to receive a PERMANENT board that one can securely fix on your bike every time you go race??!??!?!?! No more sitting in traffic to fetch shitty numbers that tear your expensive MAAP shirt with bobbypins. Just a board that gets scanned at the starting blocks o see if you have legally entered. In some ways MTBing in SA is MILES and MILES ahead of road bike events. Cause they already have that with the SAS numbers.
  6. Easy. Cut a second hole in the board. Cut a second hole in the rubber holder. Now two cable ties securely goes around post and through the board. Problem sorted (on my end)
  7. They still are the official Importer and Distributor. Any cycleshop dealing with them will be able to get if they have stock
  8. Very cool footage. Thanks.
  9. Finishtime = Racetec (They bought racetec? As far as I know)
  10. I got a "your concern has been noted" from a mail last week. So basically "kiss my ass" but just nicer. I like them. 😆
  11. Safety was no issue. Good hard race and I really enjoyed it. I have decided to not do this race again for the following reasons. Race number pickup bull ****. I sat 4 hour in traffic on Thursday just to pick up a piece of useless paper. When are these organisers going to be held accountable for wasting peoples time and money??? And VERY important, where is the environmental responsibility......???? I would love to know how much EXSTRA fossil fuels were burnt just to pick up a number that I can print at home??? Give me a QR code that I can scan at the starting block to gain entry to the event. I can print my number for 50c in color. I spent R200 fuel plus half day leave at work just to get a number. Boils my blood. Seeding was CRAP. South Africa cycling does not have a seeding system anymore. We are forced to pay CSA (racing license) to get a better start time. Timing system can improve. The chip is horrible. The mounting system is cheap and can be improved a lot. Give me a permanent chip and number (while you are at it) like 94.7 that I can use every year for your series of races. The results were not correct for the A batch and I can only imagine for the rest of the groups.
  12. Single sided on the MTB. Double sided on the road bike. I cannot really tell the difference. 1min avg and 5min avg are pretty much aligned for what I need it.
  13. 4 years after the event? Must have had a *** lawnmower.
  14. In other words the whole of the SA pro peleton? 😁
  15. I have last ridden road bike in CT in 2017. So I would assume you are fairly save. 😁
  16. LOVE my bike. Bike is a little more stiff than the previous Evo ed3. Integration works just fine. I know the local importers do have stock of limited sizes in this color at the moment. You should ask your LBS to find out what is available. WRT powermeter, I have opted for the Power2Max.
  17. Vang nou eers. Bhahhahaha. Ja pieman........... Is this one pink on the inside also?
  18. I have a friend that lives there. They do ride there often but the tracks are no longer maintained. Almost overgrown at the moment after the summer rains. I think the locals still has a "club" there going but not open to the public as far as I know. Closest now is "Die Bosveld"
  19. Trick is. Set up a "lap avg power" field on the device. Start a lap and work towards your goal avg watt by working with just that field.
  20. Size 11 with some tissues to stuff in the front? Eish
  21. It's okay. No harm. No foul. For whatever reason they are not available, in the time they have not responded, I have done my order online and will get the shipment later next week. No worries. Keep on taking it easy. 😉
  22. 🤣 Now the Capie wakes fully and encage.........
  23. If you have been ANYWHERE near cycling in the past 25 years, your path would have crossed Cape Cycle Systems. And if you tell me you have had a good experience, you would be the first guy I heard off. I hope I did not bother your mid afternoon mid January midlife nap..........
  24. CCS at their best. 🤣
