  1. A Coke at the Shell garage (flattened to remove gas,) would have been better. There's not much good in an Energade either...
  2. Glad it's sorted. I had a brand new Aksium race, wheelset bought at an LBS and the dish was out on the rear.
  3. Yeah, I'm leaning towards cassette but the price is making my eyes tear up..... I was told that GX RD springs weaken over time but I'm feeling that the shiftings worse with the Shimano RD I'm hoping to be able to fund a new RD next month.... The next plan will be to try new cassette and my GX RD. For 13500km my shifting has been pretty much flawless and I've gotten v good at setting B tension etc
  4. @droo thank you, are you saying an Eagle GX shifter and XX1 chain, with a Shimano Deore RD would be ok?
  5. My ageing EAGLE GX drivetrain has started skipping when shifting down the smallest 3 gears. Cyclelab said bent hanger and it seemed to work for 1 ride then started again. I've tried other hangers too. I have less than 0.5 XX1 chain but original derailleur and casete with about 14000km on. I got a new Deore 12sp derailleur at a giveaway price and was told mixing Sram and Shimano 12 speed is ok and the RD is less finicky. The issue persists and I'm going to replace the cassette maybe with another GX as it's served me really well. Will mixing components work or am I in for a new microspline driver and have to buy a Shimano cassette? Thanks
  6. Is the bike a 29er? If so XL for 1.8m is too big. I'm about 1.8 - 1.82 and ride a large and could ride an M....
  7. Are there not Freeway signs on the onramps from Avianto onto the N14? Arguing with any cop in SA is about as pointless as it gets. We used to ride that freeway section but as per previous posts, having vehicles pass me at such high speed with the possibility of a truck taking to the emergency land going up the climb and the hugely deteriorated STD of SA drivers means I do the 20km to my ride by car .... Be safe
  8. I came across this on IG - Is this happening? https://www.instagram.com/p/DBd5SgfoPEi/
  9. Mine looks/is very different? I have 2 mounting bolts, about 4mm diameter machine screws that attach the hanger and dropout to the frame ...
  10. Was hoping for local. Can be difficult making contact with him....
  11. Awesome, thank you 💪
  12. Haven't seen anything from his owner's group for a long time. Great guy and hoping he's ok.
  13. I've had the same issue ie reflecting lower heart rate plus it "freezes" for a few minutes and then jumps to the correct value. It's the electronic part as when I try my spare unit it works ok.
  14. Adrenalin. Open source mould sold under Adrenaline and Vincent in SA......
  15. Hi there Can anyone suggest a LBS in JHB or online seller that's going to stock a replacement hanger as per pics? Many thanks
  16. I've been since 1999 and had a couple of mtb crashes of mostly my own fault and been hit by a car once on my road bike and I wouldn't even consider doing that ride - way too risky, especially for an out of towner. I'd rather hunt down a trainer or watt bike and stay intact. But that's just my humble opinion....good luck and Godspeed
  17. Hi there Not sure about Climb Finder but afaik it can display climbs ahead but I may be wrong. I love the buttons and large display, but especially the slightly Matt glass which reads WAY better than my 530. It seems as if it will only upload rides if the app is open and connected via Bluetooth but that night be a setting. Rand for Rand I'd choose the Element. Cyclelab had the V1 at a good price.
  18. Any news as to if Candice Lill is going to a pro team next year? She really deserves a top ride. If nothing yet, I'd love to see her replace Kate Courtney at Scott Sram as she's just never delivered plus they spend a lot of time in SA.....
  19. Does the 540 have the same high glare issues on the display. Liking the Wahoo Elmnt for having a matt'ish screen
  20. 👍 Looks like only 540 and up and not 530 😭
  21. I just saw something on my android phones Newsfeed stating a huge software update for Garmin 540 and up. Does anyone know if the Edge 530 is included at all? Cheers
  22. Yeah, not so easy this time due to speed differential but good idea. 👍
  23. Probably get lashed by the haters. What they don't get is that even if there is a club safety policy in place, when a marshall is standing in front of a judge after a death answering to what extent he/she was enforcing the policy on the day.... It was at about 08:20/08:30 on the descent from the highest point of the Cradle, riding roughly northbound. By the pace probably A or B bunch.
  24. Well done to Club Cyclelab bunch riding in the Cradle yesterday morning ...not just over the cycle lane but now even over the centre line....just so you can chat ...and when someone gets hit everyone Bayes for the car drivers blood.
