  1. Not sure I can deal with loadshedding and Cavendish's exclusion ... â˜šī¸
  2. Have you been back.? Possibly a better chance of it still being where you left it rather than it finding it's way back to you. But anything is possible...
  3. Rocksole are the go to guys for shoe repairs as Zebra suggested. I've also had good experiences with Durasole in Wynberg.
  4. Le Tour in a couple of days.? đŸ¤ˇâ€â™‚ī¸
  5. Costs have escalated ever since cycling became the new golf ... Maybe we need to start promoting and making bowls popular again.
  6. Couple of direct mount options for R7000 - R9000 in the classifieds currently which look very reasonable. Direct mount isn't essential but it is nice. 😊 Otherwise a wheels on Tacx Flux or Kickr Snap for R4000-R6000.
  7. Nice boost to his confidence leading into the Tour. 👌
  8. How many beers to quench your thirst.? Your buddy may start looking for other more affordable buddies. 🙈
  9. Some may need you to explain what that book is. LOL đŸ¤Ŗ
  10. Do you have a riser block under the front wheel to level the bike.? Without it there can be a significant drop possibly contributing your discomfort.
  11. Brand unlikely to matter, but can indeed be different. For example, some may require two layers others can get away with one. Some may work better with a layer of insulation tape as mentioned. Then of course there's the issue of removal ... some can be a real pain.
  12. ... and adds a premium to the RGT subscription it seems. â˜šī¸
  13. Suspected it was bad when one of the camera angles showed him seemingly motionless in the ditch and a DSM rider trying to get to him to help. 🙏 There's definitely a couple of sore bodies in bed to night.
  14. Hopefully you'll remember where you stored them. 🙈
  15. https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/shifters/550561/shimano-105-mechanical-11sp-sti
  16. Santini and Assos are both upper end shorts, but fit is a very personal thing. 100km per week doesn't sound like a whole lot of time in the saddle đŸ¤ˇâ€â™‚ī¸ (type of riding and terrain obviously plays a role) and that could be contributing largely to your discomfort rather than the shorts you're using. You mention "gat-lam" but keep in mind that "harde-gat" comes with time. 🙈
  17. WPCA is generally responsible for winter cycling activity as others have already mentioned. I've also noticed that PPAs comms have become very limited and you'll probably need to follow their FB page to stay informed.
  18. Crash badly enough or have all those items stolen and you could be in for a significant loss ...
  19. A second wheel with trainer/slick tyre would probably be the cheapest option. (albeit not cheap) And swapping the wheels shouldn't be a big deal.
  20. Every time riders opted for the gutter/gravel I expected the worse. At times I had to close my eyes. LOL 🙈
  21. Me too, until my missus gets word of it.! LOL 🙈
  22. Live chat has become quite common and is really a great addition to online services. Some sites still relay very standard responses rather than specifically addressing the question/issue which can be very frustrating.! Well done to CWC for getting it right in this instance.
  23. These have just popped up: https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/road-bike-brakes/549123/road-bike-brake-set-cable-to-hydraulic
  24. Glad to hear that it wasn't as serious as some of the first posts suggested. Heal up quickly. 🙏
  25. Fair question if it's a dealer. đŸ¤ˇâ€â™‚ī¸ How do think a got my 54 when a 56 was advertised. 😊
