Its going to be a while until I'm that size again, but I have a cupboard full of those size just waiting for me.

awesome idea thanks!

Cool, anatomic shirt ordered. Only had the beer shirt in 5xl, but i guess its "fitting". <- see what I did there! Thanks for the advice! Hope to see some of you on the trails soon!

I carry most of my spares in my back pocket but maybe (seeing that it will be a while before I can ride long enough to use 2 bottles) I should go that route and get a tool bottle for the spares.

I stopped cycling give or take 2/3years ago and since then I have put on quite a lot of weight. I was a big guy even when I was cycling fit. Did w2w weighing just shy of 130kg. I want to get back into the swing of things, watching the epic just awakens something in loins. Where can I find cycling clothes for the bigger guy with the afrikaner boep, until its under control again?

Mine does the same, its my seatpost, if i take it out and clean then its fine for a couple of rides untill dust gets in there as well. I went through a whole exercise where i replaced all pivot bearings and even got a very expensive bottom bracket with o-rings to eliminate noise and in the end it was my seatpost.

You have to change as the world around you change...ask blockbuster or any mr video shop owner.

Maybe post on wannabees facebook page as well.

and whether the advice is relevant is also irrelevant.

edit, decided not to get involved.

Just sorry there is no evidence to what led up to this. This is the exact reason I ride with a GoPro on my motorbike.

The CWC account was last online in november last year, maybe someone should make them aware of this thread.

Bought a new bike over the holidays and wanted to order some upgrades from CRC today and noticed that Shimano not available anymore. O well, now I have to wait for my mother in law to go visit in Europe in April. This really sucks.

I know everyone is hardegat and "I have a right to be there" but this is why i dont use a tar road unless there is a massive yellow lane. I love my life and family too much and dont want to put them through a public trial of an idiot that thought he was far enough away from me.

I just got an email demanding bitcoin with my amarider website password included in the mail.

I also discovered how easy it actually is to open a locked fiberglass canopy. I attached hooks to the bottom of my bakkie bed and now even when the canopy is locked i still hook a chain to my bike when it is in the back of the bakkie. It does help that my bike is black and my canopy windows tinted...

Thanks Guys.

I have a 2016/2017 Giant Anthem 29er Frame with a rear TA. I want to buy a converter so that i can use my indoor trainer with the bicycle. I bought a converter a while ago on the hub but it was for a spez bike and did't fit mine, i am guessing the pitch was wrong. So what is the pitch for an Anthem frame? Its this frame: https://www.giant-bicycles.com/za/anthem-x-29er-2016

hahaha I never said i don't like confrontation, i personally, love it!

I've been a total of 2 times in that shop and i can say from all the shops i've been to in the helderbger/stlb area i did not feel at home. I walked in with some friends, im build more like a prop than a cyclist and my friends were assisted and i weren't even asked if i needed anything. As for the person coming on social media to complain, instead of asking for the manager, as suggested earlier. Some people don't like face to face confrontation. We are living in an era of online social platforms. Why go and complain to manager who might laugh it off with his buddies in the shop instead of going online and complain. First off you will hurt the brand way more if "10million" people saw it online instead of just bringing it to the manager's attention. If i saw bad rep for stlb spez i would rather drive 20kms further and go to the helderberg store, same product and a better chance of getting better service. Secondly the chances of something actually being done is way greater because now they are in the public's spotlight. Thirdly the "manager" in a store is a lot of the times a glorified baby sitter. (dont know if this is the case here) When you complain on social media it would, as apparently it is in this case, be brought to the owners attention because some one is going to see the post and call them up and say buddy your rep is in jeopardy. This also gives the store an opportunity to come up with an excuse saying, my staff was sick, half is at the w2w or what ever the reason was for the bad service and rectify and make that customer happy. Free publicity... Yes nobody likes keyboard warriors but would you rather not know that there is a problem in your store then not?

Yeah me too, weight is not where it supposed to be and since may i have not a 50+ km ride...i am seriously contemplating not pitching up anymore.

As per FB posts, current management is staying on. And i dont think alot will change while they are still steering the ship but once that period ends, give it a year or two it will just be another CL.

exactly what happened to takealot/kalahari. was bought out and then all the awesome specials disappeared over time...

I've only made it once, but i was just in time to see them call the winner

Exactly this. And what sours my moer is some D**S coming from behind shouting at us fat folk or a poor child confused with the 3000 cyclist. I've seen it every year that i have done this event. Going on 5/6 this year where these idiots coming from behind shouting about making way between 200 cyclists walking ruining someones day by causing them to fall. If you want to race get a seeding and start in A. If you are not in A expect to walk and as one of the previous posts, make the best of it and enjoy it.
