I'm in the market myself for some carbon wheels and have my eyes on the 38mm Dark Horse wheels. I hate riding in the wind at the best of times, so those ones should be perfect for me. I borrowed a set of 50mm some while back from a friend, and although the ride wasn't all bad... i could still feel the wheels drifting in the wind... I'll be much more comfortable on the 38's

Very good initiative. I'll be sure to contribute as things become available on my side!

Oh yeah!! Finally I was starting to loose all hope in this shop, but glad it opened up. Would have liked to be informed of the opening weekend, but rather late than never Thanx for the info Wez-O

This must probably be one of the most descriptive stories I've ever read... Well done! You should be writing novels or something Thanks for a very entertaining read

Thank you

My biggest dream was to ride with my dad and we still said that the 94.7 this year was the year that we would ride together. Also just to mention i'm a guy. He was a cycist his whole life and extremely fit, however he had a heart attack a few years back and had to go for a heart bypass. This of course scared him from getting back onto the bike and he started keeping himself busy with other hobbies and stuff but slowly got back into cycling... this is when i said i'd ride with him (never having cycled before myself) so i started cycling towards the end of last year. He sadly passed away last year November, but i kept on cycling and started doing well.... and still rode the 94.7 in memory of him. I managed to come in at 2h:28m. The picture shows my kit that i had made for the day... this will now be framed. Hayleyearth I'm interested to know what your dad's name is as my dad was also very involved in road and track racing around the 70's/80's

I wish i could be offered all kinds of team packages... would be awesome to ride in a team rather than taking on each race as a solo guy I'm more than willing to share some race results

Ons moet bietjie 'n biertjie se nek om draai na die race as jy gaan rond hang

Actually yes... strange as that sound.... 2 on the bike.... 2 in the team car

Ola boys... Just to let you guys know, I managed to source some carbon wheels from a generous friend of mine

How is it then that one will work and another didn't? I also ride with my canister of direct stream pepper spray, but thankfully never had to use it yet. I did pull it out once for an agro taxi driver than opened his door with a srew driver in the hand... but he got back in the taxi an spat off when he saw i had something in my hand. I've read somewhere on the hub about this direct stream one and how affective it is, hence i got one

I was looking at renting some carbon wheels from one of the wheel renting stores advertised on the hub, but it's somewhat pricey... quite a bit actually.... so it was a thought for about 3sec and the faded away....

Thanks boys... appreciate it. Zatek.... I struggled up and down those hills at Amashova with 2 wheels... i actually need a 3rd and 4th one

Hey Wyatt Earp.... I wouldn't mind borrowing those wheels if Zatek doesn't take the opportunity Please keep me in mind

Ja i know there is no love lost in the V groups

Finally got my re-seeded sms with new number and time... VB 5:45

I was there on saturday and doing two loops around... didn't see any on coming traffic on the first loop, but going up the hill again from the parking, there were a lot of okes speeding down that hill. It's a one way up!!!!!! If you're to damn lazy to cycle the extra few km's around to the parking area then don't go there. The last thing anyone expects going up that hill is to start ducking and diving lazy ass cyclist speeding down from the top.

I'm heading for a loop tomorrow... might be 2 loops

I'm also waiting for the communication on mail/sms... I received confirmation on my re-seed via phone about 2 weeks back

Would be nice if I can get my re-seeded number as well....

I use my vitality discounts mostly when we fly to kzn (visiting my in-laws) so this will help quite lekka to push up that discount bracket. Sweet

I'm pretty sure the temptation has set in with many cyclist to draft a truck like that... but... the grey matter should set in and scream at you... you can't see jack sh&*, so what if the truck flicks up a rock, what if there is a huge hole in the middle of the road??? 9 out of 10 times the break lights on thetruck doesn't work anyway so it will be pointless watching those. You'd better have abs on your bike if that truck decides to stop suddenly... the list goes on and on about the "what ifs"

Thanks for the Discovery info!! Didn't even know about this

I had my custom designed kit made by OTR Designs (Stephen Fowler). Awesome quality and the design was exactly what i wanted. PM me if you want his details

I see we have 2 topics with the same discussion
