Anybody know where I can find a steering damper (Hopey or similar) for a mountain bike in South Africa?

Hope someone can help - where in Cape Town can I find youth MTB baggy shorts for my son (he is 7)?

Safe travel everyone, see you there, just off to Durban for a meeting then heading that way tomorrow

Has anybody used this website for online shopping? Any good / bad experience?

Does anyone have some experience in these spinning bikes (Star Trac V Bike or Star Trac Elite? I am looking at buying a second hand one and would appreciate any comments.

Thanks all, got sorted at CWC - once I make up my mind waiting for a mail order is not an option

Really appreciate all the responses - I'm off to go find myself a 510! Best price seem to be iwarehouse but they dont have stock at their Somerset West or Bellville branches. 2nd best price Chris Willemse - hope they have stock!

Thanks guys, appreciate the response.

I need some advice on which gps unit to buy. My budget is R5000 and currently I am considering either the Garmin Edge 500 or the Edge 510. Is the difference in price worth it? I have read that the 510 has got quicker / better satelite connection and therefor more accurate. Are there any others that I should consider in this price range? in terms of functionality I want to see distance, speed, elevation and heart rate (maybe also power). It would be nice to be able to load a route / track or even to have navigation.Battery life is also improtant which is what eliminated the Polar M400 watch. Any advise would be appreciated.

No goodie bags? Yes I know it is not always worth much but it's like a "lucky bag" - cant wait to see what's inside....

CA on Saturday and AD on Sunday. Was planning on doing the Saturday ride with my wife, however she is CC (only her 2nd ride) - will I be able to hang back at the start to wait for her?

Cant wait!!!

Agree, knowing when to start would be a nice start....

I'm probably missing it somewhere but could someone please confirm the starting times for the 22km and the 55 km?

I currently have the Polar RS300X, and looking at an upgrade. I'm in two minds between the Polar M400 and the Edge 500. It will mainly be used on the bike, but some running every now and then. I know the Edge is not suitable for running, but I will still have the RS300. However if I buy the M400, I can pass the RS300 on to my wife. In terms of funtionality I want GPS to track route & distance and want to monitor heart rate. Any opinions ?

I'm doing the 47 MTB, cant wait....

You are paying to use your motor vehicle on the road. Just because you are paying your TV licence, it does not mean you may now use two-way radios as well.

Seriously? I dont follow the reasoning here? The more vehicle licences you pay, the closer you may ride the the centre of the road? Cant believe I had it wrong for so long, I should be riding on the white line in the middle.....

Thanks for all the advise!

I need some advise on the "final stage" preparing for the k2c. I've been doing some longer distance rides over weekends (70 - 100km) for the last month or so, and tried to get at least 4 or 5 other rides in during the week, ranging from 20 to 40 km, some of them with some decent climbs. I'm by no means fit as can be, but I'm not bad. What is the best way to prepare during the time remaining - should I ride shorter distances with climbs every day up until the 20th, or do another long distance next weekend (with climbs?)? Any advise would be appreciated.

Nope, no more places available, can only substitute same distance.

I will even wash your bike for you after the race * *terms and conditions apply

I missed the deadline for entries but managed to get a 50km entry If there is anybody that would like to swop their 42km entry for my 50km entry please let me know

A BIG thank you to Escapee for arraning transport for my bike rack!!!!

How does these things actually work, and what else do you need to view on screen?
