You just type/paste the number in where it says “search name or number“ and if the person has WhatsApp it will pop up and allow you to chat 👌 I use it often on iPhone (that being said, I personally do prefer to use bikehub/marketplace message rather than give out my phone number all over the place)

This is disappointing to read, I bought a Raveman light off takealot a couple of years back and it’s been a seriously great buy! Would definitely have purchased again

I ride and drive that road all the time. At some point in the last few years they actually banned taxis from the route, between llandudno and camps bay, as there are myciti busses, and the taxis were incredibly reckless. But of course, there were protests and burning of busses and here we are back again… on my way to work the other day I watched a taxi not only overtake on blind corners, but also repeatedly UNDERTAKE cars on blind corners, in the yellow lane, 3 cars at a time. No words.

Done as best I can, thanks for the suggestion! Although they should probably be watching it first when they get home before clicking on a forum about it 😝 but we all know how enticing the hub can be…

SPOILER ALERT Winner winner! 🙌

Also, just FYI not sure if it is self evident or needs to be pointed out, but that motorbike was picked up from wherever it was on the road after the accident and placed upright against the wall as can be seen in the photo, which was clearly taken some time after the accident took place. But yeah, let’s maybe wait for the facts to reveal. There are also plenty of camera’s along that road that should maybe provide a bit of additional insight.

Yeah it’s very different to the story I got, from a driver (who is not a cyclist) who the bikes overtook on a blind corner mere seconds before at a ridiculous speed. The driver also indicated that there were tyre marks on the wrong side of the road where the motor bike had started skidding. But yeah, I was not there so I guess all conjecture at this point. Hopefully forensics will be able to confirm.

I have no words. This is astounding. Just, WOW.

Yeah so apparently this is the motorcyclist, I know it’s technically not relevant but my mates said he looked like a kid, maybe around 19 yo. Was standing with his head in his hands. No excuses, but I (hopefully) imagine he has realised the immensely terrible impact it is going to have on both their lives.

So friends of mine were driving on chappies this morning and were overtaken by the motorbikes on a blind corner a few seconds before. They noted that the guys were flying and commented how risky it was. Then came around the very next corner and found that is exactly what happened 😞 not a great sight for a family with 2 young kids (or anyone for that matter) to witness. Absolutely terrible, hoping by some miracle the cyclist is ok 🙏

Have sent to you 👌👌

@Yung Peppermint @Lay where you at 👀

Yeah a mate of mine, @David Jenkins is selling Elves here locally! I can send you his number if you would like to ask him any questions directly, he would be more than happy to assist 👌 Know there are a few happy customers he has got on road bikes recently

I’ve been trying to buy something off their website and they can’t even be bothered to respond to that 😂 I’d have thought if anything a new sale of an edge 1040 might do the trick, but apparently not!

Haha, yeah look, my point is more that there is nothing productive about shaming one group. Often it’s a people-specific problem more than a cyclist-specific problem. It just creates unnecessary conflict or allows people to justify a bias they already have.

👀

He already does this, that’s why he is on a 54 and not a 56 frame…

Or rent a bag from @RynoVW for R100/day, then shouldn’t have to worry about getting the bag in the car on the other side 👌 and easier to store while you’re not using it https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/bike-bags-and-boxes/667323/scicon-bike-bag-rentals

Don’t get too excited, only one person would be able to stream it at a time anyways 🙄😂

Thanks, I’m hoping for a slightly less labour intensive method 😂 but impressive that he can do something like that!

Yo! Looking for a 165mm or 160mm 1x10 Crankset for a budget build kids MTB. Anyone with something cheapish lying around they’d be willing to sell/pass on pls let me know 🙏

I just don’t get how they can reasonably pass the admin (and essentially the responsibility) on to the bike shops? Imagine the time the bike shops now have to spend trying to inspect cranks, and make a call on whether they’re safe or not. When they had nothing to do with the manufacturing process. And if they say it’s fine and then something happens, who then assumes that risk? And even if they don’t want to make the call and plan to pass it on to CH - there is additional admin involved in shipping the cranks back and forth. It’s honestly a joke. If I was a bike shop I would not be impressed… but maybe I’m misunderstanding the process.

Also, imagine how boring the Vuelta might have been if Jonas and Rogi just sat wheel all race after Kuss took the jersey and Remco imploded… at least this way we got some serious action and lots of will they/won’t they! Vibe! Stoked for SK (how can you not be), but I’m still a Rog fan too!

Also, she is targeting the world champs as her main goal, and so has trained to peak pretty much right about now. Pretty sure I also heard them mention how much effort she has been putting into her climbing for it too. That and 7h days in the saddle, along with racing junior boys back in Belgium, and just generally being strong AF to begin with… It didn’t exactly look like she was cruising up the Tourmalet, to me it looked like she was suffering, but trying to remain calm and focused on maintaining a certain power output she obviously knew she would be able to maintain. She didn’t have to do any explosive attacks or pull on the front, that was left to Reusser (who is another amazing rider, love her!!!)

I also have issues, and my fibre line is 100/100… weirdly on my phone, no problem, on a laptop also don’t seem to have too many issues, but when I try watch on my tv… nightmares. Buffers every few seconds. I’ve followed their instructions about making sure the TV app is up to date etc, but nope… agree it’s very frustrating. I have no desire to watch on my phone when I have a TV 😂
