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.!!
I was actually thinking of CBR Durbanville ... I would not have been impressed with having to send to Jhb. That said, I guess you do what you have to ...
Were you referred to CBR by Santam.? CBR appears to have become the assessor for a number of insurance companies. Up until 2 years ago my LBS was allowed to assess and provide an initial damage report which would be confirmed if necessary. The idea of insurance repairing damage has surfaced on other threads previously with vastly differing opinions .... As for having to send in your complete bike, be glad they haven't requested to see your entire fleet.
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.
I can understand and appreciate why they changed the format for this year, but yes, the social rider who is likely to ride 8 to 10 hours is just not equipped for those conditions.
I didn't take much note of the seller's details but I assume that was the Wahoo @ R3500.? It did seems like a REALLY good deal ... and you know what they say about those.
I had 404s and a set of 35/45 carbon tubeless hoops on Chris King hubs. I don't have the 404s any longer. PS: also have some 38s on DT Swiss hubs. Haven't missed the 404s at all. #to each his own
I repeat, "doubt anybody would anticipate the way this incident happened..." Riding a flashing Xmas tree would have made no difference. But your point is noted and valid otherwise.
