  1. I guess you can try them? https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/accommodation-and-tours/465209/shuttle-bikes-cyclists-from-george-airport
  2. This feels like watch laundering, where did this chap think all the cheap watches come from?! Does he go and buy chargers to sell with the watches?! From a quick view his FB profile has 12 watches on it, how many of them are stolen! @Nick can you please ban: https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/profile/2676-francois-bennett Edit: In addition, would a stolen device portal not help with this? Together with the stolen bikes section? Everyone with a smart watch should have a serial number on their Garmin/whatever profile.
  3. Have bought some of these but never actually used them (yet): https://www.takealot.com/fluir-waterproof-bicycle-covers/PLID73157919
  4. Would also support this option, have bought from thebikevendor and can recommend him.
  5. Sorry to hear, are you ok? And did you notify Assie?
  6. Tongue in cheek, see:
  7. Anyone know what happened to Alan, or why he is not up there...?
  8. Lekker DSM for the win, poor conditions for a TTT.
  9. Great that you are you are considering the route and the ride! As said above just pack your common sense... Generally you are safe on the bike Western Cape. We did a short trip last year Dec and will do something again this year. Hit us up when you come to Swellendam, might be able to offer you some accommodation or at least a braai. This lady recently passed through town cycling on her own, doing something similar: https://empowermefirst.college/bike_challenge_23/
  10. Did Sani2C with a HT in 2021, was one of few that I saw. Doable but will be eina now and then.
  11. Results are here: https://results.finishtime.co.za/results.aspx?CId=35&RId=4184&EId=1&dt=2
  12. Richard Baxter did my fit many moons ago, could feel the change and also helped that someone just looked at my pedaling style and gave some tips. If you spend R1.5k and it doesn't work for you or you're doing everything right, it is not a massive waste (money/value/everything is relative).
  13. Sjoe, would have been great to get a World Champs jersey on local shores. Well done Candice!

    Have also experienced the same... Have only 1 pair and about 1/1.5 years old and the back area is degrading/marbling/whatever you call it. The elastics and pad is still fine.
  15. Hi, can vary but R800-R1k should be ballpark, paid R950 for Pta to Swellendam recently.
  16. Ritte is just so smooth and easy on the eye. Keep us posted.
  17. Right decision imho, was out for a run now. Found a gap between the rain bouts and dit is koud... Feel for the organisers and riders alike, however I don't expect a refund. Circumstances and situation outside the control of anyone, safety officers, provinicial admin, medical personnel, organisers. But my opinion.
  18. It's sunny right now, go for a ride sooner rather than later...
  19. You could always also shorten to the Napkysmond loop if you want to skip some of the weather: https://www.strava.com/segments/10488786
  20. Because everyone always trusts weathermen... reminds me of the quip: ā€œEconomists exist to make the weathermen look goodā€. Read in comic sans. Spare a thought for the organisers who also want this to go on, as has been pointed out, not their call.
  21. Ja lekker man, dit maak mens sommer warm aan die binnekant.
  22. They might, but not sure if the stock tyres are tubeless readyšŸ¤”
  23. Would also look at just upgrading as need... But to the OP, if you won't be worse off (unless your on the sharp pointy end) with alu, consider second hand. However if you take the carbon Titan, ensure you leave some room for upgrades, handlebars (buy second hand), tubeless conversion (don't know if the bike comes with tubeless tyres, if not, will set you back R1,800 cheapest for the set) and a good seat (if you don't have one already).
  24. Seems like it...
