  1. Been trying to convince myself that the medium will fit, but I know that's optimistic.! LOL #lockdown size adjustments
  2. This. And occasionally a more detailed clean when the chain is off. Give the chain a wipe after applied lube has settled to remove excess which generally causes the build up.
  3. Wow.! The Bay at it's prettiest.
  4. I'm a greeter... and I get frowned upon by the rest of my riding group. Could be that I greet to annoy the rest of the group. LOL
  5. There was the incident when the Jafmed DC group got jumped targeting the last riders in a paceline, but yeah, more than likely the exception. Now to find the balance between groups and social distancing.
  6. And all the more now with social distancing and the likelihood of solo riding.
  7. Two problems I foresee: - even Chuck may find it difficult to do what he does in cabon soled, cleat fitted cycling shoes - most attacks rely on the element of surprise, and hitting the deck winds most or even breaks a bone or two before you can respond That said, you thought has my full support in theory.
  8. Cycling really should be a winter sport in the Cape. (as long as it's not raining)
  9. Have you tried the guys at Coolheat.? While no longer the distributor, they would have dealt with many of this model of trainer and may just be able/prepared to assist/advise particularly with regards software (OP). As for rebate scenario, I guess unfortunately at the mercy of Garmin. While the offers are generally acceptable on older Garmin units, I'm not too convinced it will be the same with Tacx.
  10. Looks like it's mainly ASG brands.
  11. To the posts suggesting sellers don't respond, here's something that I've just noticed. I have an ad which shows a lead, yet I haven't received any contact (PM, email, etc). So while probably the exception, it does suggest that comms can get lost in cyberspace.
  12. Wow - socks are a common extra, not a TT helmet. I may just order something in the hope of getting Pina or Willier frame extra. LOL
  13. Or they/we are just not willing to admit it. LOL
  14. I don't mind people taking time to respond, but please just respond. I'm personally not one to call, because I hate disturbing or being disturbed at inconvenient times.
  15. Still so many "I'd like to buy/collect" followed by nothing but silence. But just go ahead and sell to somebody else, and suddenly you're a terrible seller. LOL
  16. Still stuck on the idt. Having had 2 rides end up in hospital in the past, I'm just not as keen to get out just yet. Enjoy the 3hr window period if you are riding.
  17. Toughest thing ever.!!! After 2 weeks of home-schooling we found ourselves already 5 weeks behind. I don't think we're ever gonna catch up.
  18. I was saying yesterday that I could consider some loops/repeats around UCT because there's never anybody there. It should be just within the 5km radius and can be both challenging and enjoyable. Haven't ventured out yet but may see you there sometime soon.
  19. Is TheCyclistCo still active/"open" for business.?
  20. Wasn't Adidas and Mavic associated at one stage.? So they come with that pedigree.
  21. Assos will always feature (for good reason) and many other European brands will come a close second, of which the more common are Nalini, Santini, Giordana and Vermarc. For me, density is an important quality in a chamois as is the positioning of the chamois in shorts. (something SA manufacturers can be a bit hit and miss on) Also, the combination of saddle and shorts plays a big role in comfort. PS some good deals (note: not cheap) on Assos at Cyclelab/CWC at the moment.
  22. Normally with the other Biogen supplements but I guess could differ from store to store.
  23. Probably the best priced "dedicated chamois cream". Have a tub which I haven't used yet, but product seems very similar to some others brands.
  24. Any magnet should work as long as it fits close enough to the sensor.
