  1. Stolen: Silverback Sola 1 2014 When: 27/09/2024Where: , Krugersdorp North, Krugersdorp, GautengUnique red handlebars, red break tubing and red flat pedals. Also red anodized screws in group setGet further details about the incident in the Stolen Bikes section.
  2. Decathlon has el cheapo hydration backpacks..sub R500 and they do the job nicely.
  3. ^^This, this is true, also have the torque thingy now. Sage Advice.
  4. Stop it, you scaring the crap outa me with all this seemingly routine bone breaking. Its bad enough I snapped my writs falling off my bike, which was falling off a bridge at the time. I don't wanna know other things break too.
  5. Looking for a Shimano Sora FD-3300 front derailleur. Any condition
  6. I have seen a sign that says "under construction - The Cradle Mountain Bike Trail". So that looks like its taking shape, then there is also some stuff happening at Heia Safari. Kings Kloof is also in the vicinity.
  7. I use a Samsung S3 with Endomondo loaded to track my rides. My riding buddy uses a Garmin. The Garmin is the correct tool for tracking a ride. I find the GPS on the phone does not update as quickly or accurately as the Garmin. Typically a ride at the Cycle Park will see me doing an average of 2km's less than him as the routes are so tight that you need something updating really quickly if you want any kind of accuracy. Just on a side note, I don't think you should run more than one GPS tracking software program at a time on the phone as I am sure it will cause a conflict with which program controls or "grabs" the GPS. As soon as I am big I will get a Garmin.
  8. I ride with a MET Parachute helmet. Its full face but has the air flow of a normal cycling helmet. It is not to be confused with a full face helmet that is used for downhill racing. It would not work and would probably add to your injury. What it is good for is that added protection if your prone to smacking the ground from time to time and aren't too keen on dental bills. I have ridden mine with temps above 30deg and it handles well. There is no padding inside so it has great airflow. Yes I know there are sniggers when I wear it. Hell I have gotten some really odd looks from roadies too. I am happy to provide entertainment, I like my helmet.
  9. Thank you very much!
  10. I know you said back of your head. But this is what I ride with. I like the front of my head too.
  11. West Rand Cycles on Ontdekkers.
  12. I ride with a samsung S3 and my mate rides with a garmin. if we compare routes my samsung updates every few seconds and puts in a lot of straight lines where the track curved. His Garmin is far more accurate. I will list 13kms he will list 15kms on the same route purely because of that. I would say the Garmin is the way to go.
  13. I have my grubby paws on that red intense frame. Thanks for the heads-up on the bearings. Cant wait to ride the thing.
