  1. Stolen: Specialized Ruby 2015 When: 22 April 2019 Where: Randburg, Gauteng jumped neighbors fence broke through trelli and sliding door and randsacked the house including my wifes bike Get further details about the incident in the Stolen Bikes section
  2. this is awesome let me try was riding this morning and I heard awful squeaking. when we stopped to do an emergency repair on a guys derailleur that broke, looked and the saddle was cracked. i bought it in nov 2015 so it should still be fine right?
  3. saw that too but on their new website it has 2015 route, surely they can hire someone to fix that with everybodies R390 they collected
  4. I see all these post by ask Mat from cotiic to get a frame but I had such a k@k experience with him, order the bike on the wednesday he said I am to late for next week delivery so I will have to wait 2 weeks, no probs Contact him after 2 weeks he will get back to me Phone, sms, whatsapp he just ignores me, I ordered in November, I have just decided screw him If you don't want my business I will find someone who does Anybody know where I can get hold of an alu CX frame or complete bike in the 10k range size 48-52?
  5. Worst start ever, with 3 min to go till the VA start I realized no bottles, rushed back to the car, when I was about 600m from the finish I saw they left already chased frantically for 20 min, before I got back in. Took me a long time to recover. Almost got caught in the crash at the end literally bunny hopped over an arm, was a really fast one, with my late start I came in at 2:07, but race tech had to give me start time of the group of course. Looking forward to berge & dale & r4s
  6. correct, but I see you already solved that. And technically you can have an watch without an iphone, but you cant download and use the ios app if you don't have an Iphone. Oh and dont talk about taking extra smoothies on this forum, someone here might have to report you
  7. pretty easy tbh Do you have the discovery app on your phone, and have you logged in to it? If yes to those questions, then its easy for them to know, since the code is completely different between android and ios

    Panorama Tour

    Sad to hear. I am guessing you were the guy behind me when my chain tangled up? I do really hope they sort that road The road rangers were special, even fetching water bottles that fell.

    Panorama Tour

    Awesome event, they coped well without MTN, was curious to see how it was going to plan out We had terrible luck on day 1, punctured in the first 4km, then chased super hard, only to get a another puncture at 65 km which caused 3 spokes to go as well, well was buckled so bad it couldn't turn, we decided to send my mate to finish and bring me a wheel, while I started walking, 9 km later I found a guy who's derailleur broke, so he borrowed me a wheel. Day 1 and we lost 1h40 Was negative, but then we heard day 2 is mass start and we started smiling Day 2 we quickly chased to get to the front guys, stuck there till the halfway point where my partners legs was a bit tired from the previous day's effort, finally we managed to form a small group with the team Arch-Centric guys and ended up in 6th place under the sub vets Day 3 we Started in the A group and the legs felt wonderful, up spitzkop we were in such a horrible position I tried to bridge from the chasing group to the lead group but legs ran out halfway, stuck with the chasing group until brondal where my chain twisted, sigh lost 6 min on the guys and ended 7th sub vets team Last day was just burn burn burn and another 7th sub vets place, it was pretty awesome as you finish to hear you have set the new fastest time, lasted for a few min till team Tim Tandem went 15 sec faster. After day one we were 33/34 sub vets teams day 2 it was down to 24 day 4 16th and we ended on 14th Would have been interesting to see what would have happened if not for day one. Will have to see next year I guess. After having done Clover, Pana and TOGH, this one stays my favorite.
  10. Hahaha I never read this in the rules... No we skipping the maluti the kitchen tea is on that day.... Taking a break after the panorama until lost city. Doing good, almost there..
  11. The bike is still going 25000 km on the clock The broken rims have been repaired 7,75 kg for a size 61, don't think I can get much lighter Unless I get tubbies and dura ace or sram red
  12. Agreed also flat but very windy I always approached the seeding differently. I chose the hillier races because the the beta was higher and if you can only slightly climb its a great way to improve seeding, like the jock boosted my results each year, even though I finished 50 minutes after the winner I would still get an index of about 10-20 But on a flat race you only finish 30 minutes behind the winner and ur index is 50. So pototo potato which suits you best I suppose but just pointing out the other side of the coin
  13. Well it is true, because if you don't ask for reseeding that is exactly what your seeding will be There are exceptions but listing the norm rather than the exception 94.7 is already close to 500, I don't want to pay extra on top of that
  14. Just remember satellite is to late in the year to count for seeding for this years 94.7 If I remember correctly the last race they use is the race for victory So do the lost city & race for victory to better your chances Other options to consider is the the jock and the kremetart
