I was looking at tent and it was mind boggling what a fancy tent can cost. I ended up buying a one man dome tent from Takelot for R299 to test it. I was pleasantly surprised to find it weighs only 1.28 kg. The benefit of such a tent is that it sets up in minutes and is a little safer ito monkeys. will need to see how watertight it is in due course. https://www.takealot.com/2-person-dome-tent/PLID65914487
I went for the Topeak MTX carrier which mounts to the seatpost - loads more space and its really sturdy. Dont need anything else and it just clips on - dont fancy the bag hanging on the seat... You can get it from most every shop which stocks Topeak. https://www.topeak.com/global/en/products/249-MTB-BeamRacks/136-mtx-beamrack-(e-type) Plus the bags
Hansie is an accomplished cyclist. Multiple SA road champ in his age group. Multiple SA track medals as well. Won the mini-munga Been training like crazy. Think coached by Jaco Ferreira One of the faces/owners behind Ferocity - I bet you is riding on one today And he is from the correct side of the boerewors curtain.
Thanks everyone - I am inspired to do this as a project. Learned now that you can buy 2K paint in cans with hardener - dont need a spray gun or a Zoom machine.
Yoh, awesome build dude. I am inspired. Did you say the paint was mixed and then put in a can? To spray directly, or to use a spray gun? What does the paint cost?
Hey experts I am toying with the idea of refreshing my frame. Think of matt black. The interwebs says you need to prep, prime, spray and laquer the frame. Loads of info available. Local spraypaintplace will do it fro R2500 I am considering buying a Zoom spraypaint machine or similar for R500 and the paint from the place and try it myself. Seems like a lekke project. Anyone attempted this as a DIY and willing to share experience?
I take my hat of to any organizer trying to put on racing in the current state of things and keep racing going. I think they really tried but were hampered by other factors - I hear TMPD is striking???
Seems appropriate ask: Would a XT 10 speed derailleur work on a 105 10 speed setup in place of the 105 derailleur? So is the pull of the STI same for both derailleurs
Just realized we being smoked by Onedayonly https://www.takealot.com/usb-rechargeable-led-bike-tail-light/PLID55240490 https://www.takealot.com/essentials-vivid-led-cycling-light-green/PLID51982325 Are these not the same for cheaper?
Thats a lekke front light it switches off by itself if its gets light enough OK for riding and visibility not for racing Mine lasts 3 hours a t a time it small and does not have a seperate battery pack Love mine Its R199 at Takealot
Not to hijack the post, but have anyone bought online from abroad recently past few weeks? I would like to know if these parcels get through as per usual. DHL and UPS parcels dont follow the SAPO route - so I suspect it will take the normal 5 days or so to get to your door. I am looking to order from Merlin.
And you still find riders (friends) posting IDT rides on Strava of 100kms in 2hours - and everyone is kudoing them. Wtf? Some rode the TransB of 220+kms in 5hrs? Really. Do they really think there is any credibility in such a ride? And then I sweated the 36one in 16hours with 5250m ascent - I kucked off this weekend. Not having a smart trainer is not an excuse you can at least pretend you made some effort.
Nope its a boring overhead on Google maps But there is always youtube to entertain you - we did it with C2T this past weekend The great part is you ride the actual route on actual elevations and it will show on Strava. Dont think the Zwift guys will ride the actual route they will do laps of some artificial route.
