  1. The person's name has been shared on some whatsapps, but no detail about what happened. RIP
  2. Aggenee Bini Girmay, not lekker to see. But ja, lekker for De Bod!
  3. And a testament of the fact that you don't need the latest and greatest to do something epic. Welgedaan aan julle altwee! Hoop daar wag nog ander avontoere vir julle.
  4. Sorry maybe I missed it, do you want to run the Deore RD still? Does it have range for 9-50? Why not run a full Sensah setup on PRX?
  5. Why not stick with what you got (Garmin)? Two interfaces, apps, etc can make life complicated?
  6. And the ad is down, similar to the other thread on the hub. Hope you get sorted and your wife can get back on the bike.

    The Munga

    Take a bow for great writing, lining up and taking on those dragons. I hope to one day be brave enough to even consider it.
  8. Boyyyyy! Well done!
  9. @Matt is just on my end? I'm not able to access the how to guide.
  10. Welcome! Your first time mtb'ing? Do you have a price range (ex R10-15k, more or less?)? Are you inclined to buy new or happy to use Le Hub for a second hand purchase?
  11. But what are you buying...? Have you been pwned perhaps?
  12. For those that also couldn't find it (the Elite schedules): XCC is on tomorrow from 16:25 XCO is on from Sunday from 17:45
  13. Comic Sans: Please don't give medals... I have a number of them I need to chuck in the bin, but want to recycle or something like that. Give a fridge magnet/a bottle opener/an event photo/a leather key chain/anything useful that doesn't just sit in a drawer. But I always have the option of not taking the medal... Enough loo's and water/drink on route, play some music at the waterstops for vibes. And know everyone will complain about something.
  14. What Swellies does have in this regard is a Checkers and Spar, both were recently refurbished and then a new PnP opening by the end of this month. You like cheese and other diary? This is your place, Lactalis and La Mont, etc have you covered. Meat, get to know the people and find out where they source what. The one area I found lacking/expensive was fruit, but The Earth Centre has you covered. Take a trip and ride the trails before you make any moves. Ride the gravel and road as well (great options on both). I'm obviously also biased, but shoot a questions if you have.
  15. I don't think many outdoorsy places in the WC are cheap compared to the Big North. With that being said, Southern Cape towns all offer some sort of riding (mtb and gravel). Swellendam/Greyton/Hermanus/Stanford/George all offer a mix of riding, but have different levels of ammenities. Driving 1.5/2hrs for a Woolies or to get your Landy serviced can be tiring/expensive/time consuming. Talk to the townies and get a feel for what it's like living there. From experience, even trail politics can take place in these lovely places. Also consider the general age of the population and how comfortable you are to make new maats.
  16. Eina, seems like WvA's chances just took a massive knock😟
  17. Tip of the hat to you, and CL. Good luck, hope you get back on a bike soon!
  18. Does Gerald have a cold?
  19. (And can one block/ignore threads on mobile?)
  20. Nino and Sofia would both like to trade-up their partners...
  21. I know of one friend who recently sold to them just because he wasn't lus for the schlep. Cash (and convenience) is king. However, don't call me, I'll call you...
  22. It is Bike Market...
  23. Their standard approach is to offer half from my experience, and rounding down. Wanted to tell them to go jump, but not worth the effort.
