  1. The only event I have ever had to deal with cramps! Near the end even my walking muscles were cramping Took a bit of a wrong turn and ended up bombing down a hiking trail. It was incredibly fun and stupid and if I came short there would have been a stretcher needed for sure. I think a couple of people made the same mistake (a few thanks to me). I will do the Monster every year! Such a welcome change to all the overly manicured trails we are force fed.
  2. Dirt Merchant are also very accommodating if you are looking for something different!
  3. I'm also doing the monster so I couldn't spend a grand on one weekend of racing! If it's not for the big big Juma I would be keen? The monster is also a nice excuse to take it chilled and just enjoy the route
  4. Ah sounds like my training plan. I have been tapering for the last 3 years.
  5. I just replaced my 2x (24/38 and 11-36) with a 1x (34 and 11-42). Parts were worn out and it was the same price for both options. I'm excited and nervous. Excited for less stopping to put the chain back on. Excited to get much stronger. Nervous for the need to get much stronger. The real test will be magalies monster! Besides that, I do live in Gauteng so I don't need such a hectic granny gear.
  6. that would be a waste... Also the top guys aren't normal, Kulhavy had a 38 up front if i'm not mistaken!
  7. I didn't get them to do it at all. CRC Waived the express delivery fee and rightly so, but Skynet was just a huge bonus. I think the fact that my item was only 20 Pounds also had something to do with it, along with the good nature of the people I dealt with.
  8. My experience has been turned around by Skynet with some solid communication and unbroken promises! You can't expect everyone involved to be a high caliber employee, but when it's escalated to the few that are, the process flies. I have my package and some fees were waivered (i'm sure because it was almost a month)
  9. I'm sitting on 22 days for express delivery. For a £20 item.
  10. After this I won't use CRC again. Nothing they have can be worth this...
  11. Dalene asked for my ID number on Friday for the bars I bought on the 25th... I guess my express delivery is coming on nicely. Can't wait to pay more than 400 bucks on a £20 item.
  12. Will be sending an email now. Ordered R350 bars on the 25th and they are still at customs? Never have I waited this long. If I get charged R400 for admin it would be cheaper to let them keep the bars.
  13. A hiker gave me a wheel he found. He said it must have fallen off while someone was driving out today. Contact me if it could be yours! EDIT: sorted
  14. There are other results with the old page (site:thehubsa.co.za) but no frames.
  15. Yeah, you can see all of his adverts if you google: "peets" classifieds site:bikehub.co.za The Cervelo is on the 2nd page of results: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/251370-cervelo-s5-frameset-2015/
  16. If the deal was so good mr christmas tree would have bought it first.
  17. Go on bidorbuy and search swiss cow bell! R100-R200
  18. Great read, thank you! I particularly liked his other article he linked about the argument for short travel bikes.
  19. Yeah that won't be bright enough unfortunately A headlight is amazing paired with a handle bar light so you can see around corners in tight sections, so not all is lost!
