And being Cape Town, every site is probably right too.! ????

The more things change, the more they stay the same.! ????

After a year of representing/defending this title, wouldn't he be just about the right age to transition to road and sign for Qhubeka NextHash.? ????‍♂️????

Not too sure what happened to the XC coverage, but glad I at least got to see this epic win.! ????????

Gre(g)at Minnaar.! ????

That's it.! ????????

Just one more now ...

Few worry about it when you're doing the job well, but it may however be advantageous when trying to secure the job. Good luck ... I'm always a little envious of those brave enough to take that leap of faith rather than stay stuck in a rut. ????

Had a couple of rides like that in the last month. Been considering carrying extra socks for mid ride changes rather than tubes and bombs. ????

All I got from all of this is that once again Catelli don't have my size... ☹️

No experience with them, but have you looked at the Saris range of racks.?

Dexshell mentioned above with the other popular brand being Sealskinz. SA site seems to be down though. http://www.sealskinz.co.za/

I've had good comms experience with Spez SA in the past, so that's a bit surprising. Stores are a different story and can often be hit and miss particularly when they don't have a dedicated online presence. (and even when they do) Some will argue pick up a phone if it's important/urgent enough. The addition of live chat to some sites has also improved things a bit.

It is rather ironic particularly for those spending in excess of R100k for the bike. ????‍♂️ Granted, circumstances are all different. The Lemond 0.886 of inseam worked and continues to for those on a really tight budget. That and a couple of stem swaps and you'll have the sweet spot.

Personally I respond to all msgs irrespective of what happens going forward. Yes, "is it available" can be frustrating, but it's part of Hub activity. Likewise, if I've initiated contacted, I will also conclude eg. "thanks for the info but ..." Everybody won't deal with it the same, but that's also ok. Woosah ...

I thought front wheel rotation was just to get the valve in the right place. ????‍♂️????‍♂️????

Ride group touched on this. General feeling is sceptical at best ...

Breezy but still nicer out than cooped up at home. ????

Not sure if it's going to be any more helpful, but I see that I also received mail from them via: ask@thecycologist.co.za

That's sounds more like the norm. Free shipping is usually Royal Mail and SAPO. I think Arrie got lucky.

That's impressive for free shipping option. A vast improvement from Skynet and Royal Mail where even if you paid premium delivery you still inevitably waited ...

So sad and unnecessary.! Strongs to all impacted. ????

Looked very much like they were just offloading stock. (I could be wrong) Secured a couple of small necessities without issue. Possible that systems weren't working optimally resulting orders not being fulfilled. If all else fails, hopefully refunds will at least be issued promptly.

Little difference in quality between Spez and Sidi shoes. (and while you're looking, perhaps consider upper end Shimano and Giro shoes too, and for something less common, Lake) Really comes down to which fits best.

That is likely the response in 9/10 cases. Doesn't seem they bother too much with actual repairs ...
