Both my old Geoff carrier and my new Thule one have places for number plates. I use them and have never had a problem. I don't see the point of this post. You failed to ensure your vehicle was roadworthy and got bust. Now you're blaming someone else? Since when have we been living in America?
That doesn't take much. One of their salesmen once presented me with a range of road shoes after I asked him for MTB ones. He really didn't know the difference...
Saturday was 75.4 and Sunday 42kms by my clock. Conditions this year were good and the congestion not bad nearer the front. They do over hype it regarding the trails. Good mixture of Jeep track and some sections of single track. Definitely not the level they claim, but pleasant, hard riding nonetheless. I really enjoy this weekend of riding. Hardish, but not crazily so...
500 is a completely different beast to the 705. The 105 was to the 705 what the 500 is to the 800. Neither the 105 nor the 705 had temperature. You could get it on the hardware diagnostics screen, so I always thought it strange you could never actually display it on the training pages. One of the reasons I upgraded to the 800...
I see it has been moved to Melle and Juta in town. Is there secure parking there? I don' t want to park on the street and don't fancy riding alone into town at that time...
I've always found them friendly and trying to do a good job. <RANT> Better than the lazy Metro cop *****s who sit in their cars watching the traffic strangle and refusing to do anything because they're too ****ing important to actually do their ****ing jobs and direct traffic . And that also goes for the useless JRA dumb@sses who obviously weren't getting enough kickbacks from the Pothole Brigade who were doing their jobs for them and fixing our roads so they cancelled their contract!!! Now our roads are falling apart again!!! Aaaarrgghhh!!!! </RANT>
Climb up to Hekpoort, then rolling until Magalies, then the long, big climb out of Magalies. The back stretch has a couple of climbs, too. Nothing major, but enough to hurt your legs. Oh - and the Maropeng road can be a bugger..
I'd agree with Johan here. I can't see a couple of small holes making a big difference to strength. My biggest concern would be to make sure the holes had good covers to keep dust out.
SS is Spectrum Sport - a timing company from Vanderbijl. They don't have the resources of Racetec, but I have always found them to do a reasonable job. They are big in triathlon timing. I believe they do the Energade series.
