  1. This post is gathering some hate for cyclists and shares on FB....I'll try to copy a link here... https://www.facebook.com/john.easton3/posts/10159165745381202?comment_id=10159167560646202&notif_id=1608805786601374&notif_t=feedback_reaction_generic&ref=notif
  2. https://www.facebook.com/groups/380712042451530/permalink/991803318009063/ I'll just leave this here. Much wrong doing from both sides..... Anyone know details?
  3. The club has the same committee and email addresses as last year
  4. Yip, our club secretary hasn't received anything from CSA...
  5. So you received a mail from CSA as late at 21 December? I haven't, and neither has our club secretary....
  6. Considering my ex accused me of spending too much time on my bike, I see I still had 8303 hours off the bike......
  7. Does anyone have a means of contacting CSA regarding processing of 2020 Race Licenses and membership registration? I have emailed the address on the website ( info@cyclingsa.com ) with no reply, and I've tried calling ( 021 9171749) with no answer. I processed my race license renewal on 3 December 2020 and it still shows "Pending" on my CSA Member page. The pending is for club approval. The club hasn't received any comms from CSA.... Anyone else in a similar situation or had some success? This is quite important with Provincial and SA Champs in the near future.
  8. Hey guys, does anyone perhaps have a contact with some influence in the Intercity Xpress bus company? Here's an incident involving an Intercity Xpress bus I'd like to share. I've tried posting it to their FB page but it seems it won't allow. I haven't called the customer care number on the bus, as I don't really want to engage with a telephone operator over this. I've tried accessing their website to get an email contact but can't seem to open the page: I'd like to report an incident I had with an Intercity Xpress driver this morning, Sunday 1 September. I was cycling North to South through Manaba on the KZN South Coast just before 7am, and the Intercity Xpress bus HT11VX GP came past me from behind with centimeters to spare. I was riding alone and was within the yellow line margin of the road. The bus was stopped at a traffic light shortly after and I rode past and shouted to the driver to have some respect for other road users. He came past me again after that a purposely tried to run me off the road.... I know just down the road in Margate is the Intercity pickup point so knew I'd see him there again. I stopped at the bus and started to take photos of the registration plate, and tried to take a photo of the driver who then shoved me, and pushed my phone away threatening me "Just carry on and I will f...ing hit you" . I'm not one to back down from a confrontation, but I left the scene as bike vs bus, and driver and mob with growing interest vs cyclist wasn't going to end well for me. Can something be down about this aggressive driver? He is a risk to other road users and shouldn't be driving alone, never mind with a bus full of passengers.
  9. I've been trying to set up Zwift on one of my old laptops to use as a dedicated indoor trainer computer but am getting the exact same error. Zwift support tell me it's because my laptop is not high enough spec...
  10. The road from Sheppie south to Port Edward is the R61 - the N2 branches inland from Sheppie toward Kokstad. I'd stay off the N2 north of Sheppie. The roads are fine to ride early in the morning before the traffic gets busy. The toll road is great training but once it's busy the traffic is fast. The old coastal road is better in my opinion as although its busy the traffic is a bit slower. Give us a shout at Giant South Coast when you're down here if you like.
  11. Any reputable Shimano dealer should have the interface and software.
  12. I assume you'll have road bikes with you when you're here since you're doing the Tour Durban? Pop into my shop - Giant South Coast ( http://www.giantsouthcoast.co.za/en-ZA/ ) at the Southcoast Mall in Shelly Beach when you're here and we can get you sorted with some training rides with us. I also live in Uvongo.
  13. My new ride: TCR Adv SL ISP SRAM Red eTap Easton EC90SL
  14. Then wait for the 2017 Anthem 29ers to be revealed. Everyone is quick to make assumptions on what hasn't been said. 2 days ago you didn't know any of the range.....
  15. Ok there's the first issue - I see it's set to not include zero's in power averaging. I'll just reset that now. Thanks for that
  16. Would like to post a pic of the power data but not sure how? But it reads: Av Power: 287 Max Power: 1241 Max Av Power 20 min: 275 Normalised Power: 281
  17. Ok I'm new on the power training game. Just got a Stages meter on my road bike running thru my Garmin. So far I've done no tests, just a few rides with it, and had it on for a crit this past weekend. Now from Garmin Connect for the crit it gives me an average power for the whole event of 287W and a max av power of 275W for 20 min. How would you guys interpret that? Total crit time was 1hr 09min
  18. Great review I'm riding the same set up on my mtb - single shifter on synchroshift - and agree with everything you say. I have customised my S2 setting to change the front ring a little earlier and I'm very happy with it. I rode Sani2C with mine and the battery level indicator dropped one bar (out of 4) for the entire event.
  19. I'm a roadie, an Mtb'er, and yip.....a Harley owner. I sense an awful lot of narrow mindedness in this thread. Each of those 3 "elite" groups I belong to have their share of chops. The Hub too.....
  20. That's rough Bryan - so sorry to hear. Hope you somehow get a lead. Guys I've worked on this bike - it's a work of art. This is what we are looking at: Merida Scultura Team-E, in Team Lampre Merida colours, Full Dura Ace groupset, Garmin Vector Pedals, Zipp 303 wheelset (not Fulcrums as per spec). http://2014.merida-bikes.com/en_int/bikes/2014/Scultura+CF+Team-E-310.html
  21. The biggest issue you have is with the angle of the tow hitch. I made a wedge plate for mine so the rack sits level. Once you have a level rack, the bike angle won't look so bad. As someone said earlier, the support bar effectively changes distance from it's mount as it arcs up or down. So in the level position it's effectively at it's longest. If it were vertically above the wheel position when level you'd pick up probs with taller or shorter bikes.
