  1. Looking forward to the event. i posted the same question on facebook, Will the fun walk/trail run take place at the new venue as well? my family enjoyed it so much last year.
  2. Santa Cruz Blur 3 or 4. The Blur 4 can take 2 water bottles in the frame. I just put a 120mm on the front instead of the 100mm. i am 90+kg and no issues over long distance.
  3. Start with the local bike shops, maybe check on the Paarl side as well.
  4. I was informed by race office, that it was possible, and the fee was R50. Please can you provide your email address. Thanks
  5. Road is still closed. passed by there the other day
  6. THanks for this, any chance you have it on file or strava link?
  7. https://bottelaryconservancy.co.za/about-mtb-trails/ They have holiday permits for R250 for the whole holiday. Day permit is R100
  8. c2909dc8-33eb-4e5f-baf4-bd75a2a35315.mov This the video of your incident?
  9. Apparently opening 5 October
  10. Jonkershoek is closed as well, according to MTO's page.
  11. Chat to Titan first. You insurance would have a clause in that states it wont cover if its covered under warranty. But there seems to be a lot happening in your scenario. 60km PR ride, chain snapping, then puncture, then wobbling hub and then cracked rims from the cased jump. Did all this happen in one go/incident? Good luck with the search on who is going to cover your loss.
  12. Okay toe caps it is. Good luck. CPT winter is coming soon for us
  13. The other option, use a small/medium ziplock type bag, that covers your toes and arch of the foot, not the entire foot. That will allow it to vent some of the "sweat" and you not sealing the foot from ventelation. Sock > plastic > sock works as well, and tape up the vents of the shoe

  15. Also try The GOAT, by Devonbosch Estate, at the end of Bottelary Road towards Stellenboch. New Park style trail opened up.
  16. 2 videos of our CC experience! 03fc566a-b4c7-46fc-a7d9-f7bdc9f8b070.mov 565dbe4b-3fde-43f1-a0f2-5f7465d5b2b6.mov

  18. Morning, To be honest, dealing with the SAPS on a daily basis. There is pretty much zero chance of the recovery of the bike, if the suspect was not found with the bike, the chance of recovery is very very small. With regards to any monetary refund/payout there is no chance, if you considering approaching the state or suspect. Trusting you possibly took international travelers insurance, that could possibly step in for you. The SA justice system is not going to be your friend, its a very slow process, and a painful process. In this matter, its going to sound harsh, but you might have to write this loss off, and move on. Hope this helps.
  19. Is this a Sub 3 CTCT(argus) bike?
  20. On the point of Hydration!! Might be controversial The beer tent was amazing. I have now found the reason to cycle faster... the earlier you finish the quicker you get to the beer tent. Castle Lite did very well with the merchandizing! i was able to consume 4 Beers and received 2x pairs of socks and a Castle Lite branded Dora the Explorer Backpack Upon mentioning this to my "slower" friends that finished after 11, they were upset. They did not get anything.... I merely stated that they should cycle faster to get better seedings to finish earlier! Strutting away with my newly acquired Backpack, did 3:10 out of 1C. Organizers could have put more tents up for shade....finding family friendly shade was a problem for the cyclists finishing later. sadly i hear as well that some people who finished much later did not get medals at the end as they "ran out".
  21. Have a look at the Rook Scout Groad Black 11spd. Its slightly over your R15k budget, but at R19k its brand new 11spd.
  22. R115k. for the GX build R90k for the NX build
  23. There has been a HUGE in scammers selling Garmin/Polar items, not saying on the HUB, but facebook and gumtree for sure. Just be careful.
