    Will I still pay the tax if I have a Chinese national bring the frame in when coming to SA?

    Hi thx for the reply!

    Hi, I recently almost bough a Chinese complete build, but missed out. Since you have done this before, could you maybe give me a cost estimate to build a road bike, with say a 10 or 11 speed, and wheels for a almost 100kg minimum weight? I like the blank frames, and would like to know if this is a better route or just go and buy a complete scott/merida etc. Not looking for top of the range, but a starter road bike that I will still ride after a year. thx

    Hi guys, how does this look for a first road bike? https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/194971-full-carbon-roaad-bike-56cm-l/ Ok, nevermind. Bike sold before I could make a plan.

    Hi started running last year June, and have been building up slowly. Old rugby ankles and knee injuries does not help. Ran my first 21km yesterday. Super chuffed about it!!!

    Hi Gm888, no my back wheel is normal QR. SO I just got a road rim and tire, 10 speed cassette and off you go! You normally also get a QR with the trainer, that fits correctly into the allowed slots, some other QR's might be a problem.

    Hi Gummi, I felt so guilty afterwards, I left the milkstout and had a savannah light!

    hi, if anyone knows of someone with an old wetsuit lying around that I might pick up for a good deal, please let me know. Don't know the sizes, probably an xl or something. I am 1.78 short and on a good day sitting on 96kg. Will also later give xterra a try as recommended. cheers.

    cool thx again. Just as long as I can finish the swim, that is a big concern. I am slowly building up my running miles, and will try and do some brick sessions if time allows to build up some strength.

    Hi shaper, not sure yet. The beginning of the year events (I think EL 70.3) is quite early. Not sure about that after December leave, so maybe Durban in June. Hopefully I will be better prepared for the sun city event next year and do the ultra.

    thx for the advice and details shaper. Will have a look after this weekends comrades to see if some running shoes come on special. Also will take some time this winter to build up some base miles for running (never ran a 21km before) and work on some time on the bike and idt. In the spring I will need to get going with swimming, as this is a big concern. thx

    Hi, I need some more advice on gear. I only started out recently, have a pair of tekkies and a mountain bike. I am really thinking of a 70.3 next year. What should I save up for first? Wetsuit, trisuit, road bike. I think probably a skinny ass bike? Were do you guys do your shopping for tri gear? I am not in the big city, so online options will be first prize. cheers

    I also bought some first ascent compression socks. Must admit they are very comfy and tight. If you do not want to use the full sock, how about only wearing the calf compression wear, without the toe section? Any comments or feedback on these?

    All the best to everyone taking on this big race! May your feet be light and your spirit strong!

    hi shaper thanks for the info. I am still without wetsuit, so open dam water in August might be a problem, and I only have an outer pool available for training, so no swimming happening in the next few months!
  24. Beesrib
    very nice. I also recently started looking at doing something similar. Keep us posted on how it works. It looks way to clean for a work bench!

    the bela bela looks nice. I like the distances of 1.5 swim, 40km bike and 10km run. I completed my first tri - sprint earlier this at Sun City, and the swim almost killed me. I have not, and will not have another swim until the warmer weather sets in later again. I will try and spend the winter months racking up some time on the IDT and gaining some km's on my asics!
