Was told the same thing at my local Dischem. From their Facebook page: Cadence Nutrition is proud to announce that it has entered into an exclusive distribution arrangement with Omnico (Pty) Ltd, South Africa’s leading importer and distributor of cycle and lifestyle brands and that accordingly with effect from 1 September 2014 our products will be available exclusively through quality bicycle retailers throughout South Africa.
Asked for comment, Dr Jeroen Swart, the CEO of Cadence Nutrition added,
“The aim of Cadence Nutrition has always been to supply athletes with the best possible nutritional solution for all types of endurance sport, but in particular cycling, as cycling is what we here at Cadence Nutrition are all passionate about. Accordingly, when the opportunity arose to work together with Omnico, which in our view is the industry leader in South Africa when it comes to the distribution of cycling related brands, we knew this would allow us to move the Cadence Nutrition brand to the next level. Teaming up with Omnico, which imports and distributes iconic brands such as Cannondale, Bell, Fox or GoPro, does not only provide us access to Omnico’s distribution network of more than 150 of South Africa’s leading quality bicycle retailers, but also allows us to focus on our core competency: the development of world leading nutritional solutions for endurance athletes according to strict scientific principles.
In line with our focus on the cycling market, we have further decided to discontinue selling our products to mass market retailers and instead focus exclusively on the distribution of our products through the backbone of our sport, the quality bicycle retailer.”
Will possibly see serious price differences compared to the great prices at Dischem. Great products though.
1) Omnico is known for relative sh1tty service. 2) Not all bike shops will be included in this roll out except if they ask for the product. 3) There goes the use of a good product.
So get told by a very agro sales person at Diskem that they are discontinuing their stocking of Cadence due to bad/ non existent service from the guys at Cadence. Rather a shame seeing that it took so long to get them to stock it....
I'm no downhiller, but this thing looks awesome.....
Dit gaan nat wees!!!!!
If you are sick, don't ride!
But its the Sani! I'm in the same boat, but got some serious meds from the doc yesterday. If it doesn't kill die bugs then I have bigger problems......
Because this forum can be viewed by minors I will refrain from using the language applicable for that weather forecast
any bets on the weather??
Anybody able to just refresh my memory about the size of that black box? We rode 2 years ago and I'm trying to work out some packing. If I remember correctly one was able to send some of your stuff, which couldn't go in the box, down to Scottborough. Must agree, very quiet from organisers' side, would have expected a bit more......
A couple of weeks ago I saw Thule showcasing some fancy pannier and storage systems. Have a look at what they offer.
Anyone who did this race today? Is it only me or was this a bit of a toughie! 
Beautiful, but unforgiving!
Surely ASG should do a audit at this shop? Actually every supplier possible???
Some comedy on its way! Nice way to end off the weekend
This is worthy of a major P Klap!!!

Shame - Bernie Stopforth missed it by 0.0000000000000001 seconds.
Seems like somebody in F also made the sub-3h:
J Viles 2:59:27 462/31046 M 432/24262 F 1/515 M 30-34 57/2477 36.44
This was serious good riding.......
Nou is daar moeilikheid!!!

From what I've seen, if your seeding index is below 8 you get put in A, between 8 - 13 you land up in B, 13 - 16 gives you a C seeding...etc Not sure about Elites and Veterans. I'm in VB, my seeding index is 7.4. Girlfriend is in H, her seeding is 27.5.
Seeding index
A
8.00 B 13.00 C 16.00 D 19.00 E 21.50 F 24.00 G 27.00 H 31.00 I 35.00 J 39.00 K 43.00 L 47.50 M 52.00 N 57.00 O 63.00 P 69.00 Q 75.00 R 82.00 S 90.00 T 100.00
Nope, that doesn't work either. Acoording to this I should be in D, not F.

I suppose their could be some kind of logical mathematical explanation for the seeding process being so odd. It just doesnt make any sense..... I for one ain't happy.....

So, what are the odds on doing a sub 3 out of F bunch??
I can confirm you have your facts incorrect.
I have sent Sani2C the Cycle Lab Events Sani2C package details last week and it should be on the website soon.
Edit: PM me your email addy and I will forward the proposal to you directly should you wish
I phoned various Cyclelab outlets, including your head office and all I got was a NO. So my apologies, seems then I was wrong to assume they knew what they were talking about! 
Can confirm, a very helpful Howard does have a solution, however currently not Cyclelab. Now that it's run by a bunch of golfers they don't understand the biking business.
That is NOT good news......

I mentioned previously that taking the distribution of this product to Omnico wasn't, in my opinion, an optimal decision. Well, true to nature, half the stuff is not available and now its a mad dash to get hold of product, whereas previously I just popped into my local Dischem. Ai tog!!
