  1. I assumed that the initial passing happened near the Point parking and the altercation ensued when both parties were there.? Tjop or not, I would like to hear both sides of this story ...
  2. Two sides to every story they say .... The fact that pics were being taken of riders not in absolutely single file suggests that the occupants of the vehicle were not impressed to start with. I doubt the hoot was just one of warning. That said, and anything that transpired subsequently, doesn't justify in physical altercation. Can't people all just be lekker ... there's enough other things to worry about.! This sort of thing and silly season in general has seen me pack my bike away for the week. I'll resume on the weekend when hopefully the pandemonium of Xmas week would have settled down a bit.
  3. That's a reasonable chunk of the challenge done on day 1. I was looking for others doing it here on the Hub (to possibly join) but seems it's pretty low key this year. IDT crossed my mind but that would just be torture. LOL
  4. Needed ... LOL Congrats.
  5. My Jawbreakers, before and after. Thx ReVu.!
  6. Most recommendations suggest that a combination of lube, heat, even force and patience is required ... and probably some luck too.
  7. Anybody here already using the 30South VELOS RX.?
  8. "We've never seen anything like this on our sunglasses. Very odd.!" (was going to direct them here for just a small sample of disgruntled users) "Ooooo, sorry ... we see that you're just out of warranty."
  9. I sent retailer (a well known LBS) a pic and got a response along the lines of "that's odd". So let's see what else I get from them and indirectly the distributors of Oakley.
  10. Cape Town, spectacular again this morning.
  11. Finding myself wishing that my Jawbreakers were D'arcs. Photochromic lenses appear to be developing "spots".
  12. If I scratched around the garage long enough I'll probably find the boxed pair of original D'arcs some 20yrs or more later ...
  13. Is that the one that tempted me here in the classifieds.? Lucky you.!
  14. No idea of quality but Rockbros certainly look the part and have been popping up more and more. There's also some advertised here on the Hub. As others have said, there are quite a few other options available too ...
  15. Jan Ulrich made it ok to ride/wear pink.!
  16. Join a group/club ... there's many operating from various areas. I also enjoy/ed the roads on my own but there's just been too much happening too regularly to chance it any longer. You can't even chance a 5 min ride to meet up with a group ... you need to drive to the meeting spot.
  17. Spaanschemat has had numerous incidents in recent time. Smitswinkel had an incident reported a few weeks ago but the exact intent wasn't clear as far as I can recall. Not aware of any recent issues on Red Hill, but always on high alert when we head that way. Join a group if you can.
  18. Looks pretty compliant to Atlantic seaboard standards given some of the shenanigans one can witness along there ... LOL
  19. Seems there were at least 6 perpetrators (3x male, 3x female) on the scene. 2 initially knock down the cyclist and then you see 4 more join them from different sides of the road as they leisurely walk off. Crazy out there.!!
  20. I made the comment the other day ... perhaps dc style ttt's should be the new normal.
  21. As received via a Whatsapp group.
  22. It's a real pity that securing the sponsorship deals took so long as the team has lost most of the riders who showed potential. Suspect it's also hampered the ability to sign new riders. But, they remain Africa's team and as such we wish them all of the best. Time to rally to troops and get some positive performances and results.
  23. Doesn't look electronic or hydraulic. Seems you're quite the rebel.?
  24. Haven't seen anything yet, but pretty sure they will feature for BF.
