Oufy MTB (Roadie)

Kudos to this shop!

Just bought a spez epic and must say looks played a big part, my wife saw it in the shop and she even said she loves the looks and normally she dont bother with my bike. Im collecting it tomorrow and since Ramadan is starting I will be looking at it for the next month

I think you must speak to the Tokai and Table Mountain Bikers guys, they would probably have the best insight into this and the relationships with the authorities to pursue such a venture. I will be of the first to want to ride it. and if I can help in anyway I will, not sure how though

Sad way to go. Hiker harmless. Life is worth nothing sor these scumbags

Ppa membership is not alot, I do enough ppa events to get my money back. Race number convenient and you dont start with the slowbies cos im seeded lekker in the middle. I have annual tokai permit cos I ride tokai, rhodes often enough. I love the tygerberg trails but dont ride it often enough so happy to pay daily fees. I hope to change that because if you link the tygerberg trails you get a mal ride but then you need a membership. Ppa works for me.

i will surely use, provided it is kept simple, no chats (we got the hub for that).

i will create segments. I'm almost 39 and I think my best years of volleyball was when I was 32years old. Cycling, the best is yet to come before I fade out. I'm still aiming for a Sub 3 Argus before that day arrives. Deep stuff

I carry the kitchen sink and end up using nothing on the ride. I even carry a shock pump in the camelback! Going to ditch it when I start doing marathons and become a weight weenie

As naas would say "at the end of the day its whats on the scoreboard that counts" So long it is under your own steam Sometimes the wind is at ur back and robots are green

My sentiments exactly

The argus said charges withdrawn, mediation successful and the matter settled out of court Mmmmmmm, ek se maar niks

one Saturday I walked in Spez Helderberg and the staff was superb, know their stuff and I'm just glad I didn't have the old credit card cos I would have been lekker in skuld. Ive walked into others and just got know service. Insurance paid out on my stolen bike so soon I will be spending. A LBS (won't mention their name cos I didnt take it up with them) , i visited 3 times and on all 3 occassions I manage to walk the floor without anyone coming to me, and they were not busy. I drive to CWC, walk the floor all the sales dude busy (I'm a patient guy) and then the oldish guy with a big mouth walks up to me (later I learnt it was CW snr) and asked if I've been help yet. I said not yet, he shouts loud in the shop "die ou het baie geld op hom" , R 16k they richer and I had a cool bike. I was there for the taking the one LBS lost out and the other one won,

My mtb got stolen so reported it to saps and they took a statement and on 3 occasions they spelt 'bicicle'. 98% of hubbers could out run a saps. The other 1% being couch hubbers and the remaining 1% are those starting / getting back into it.

Im a social worker and 08 was a non negotiable cos if you do community work you need to be mobile. However, that rule has been relaxed because many job applicants just didn't have a licence and we needed to employ to get on with the job. The work then assisted these folks with their drivers licence. It so happens that these folks dont come from homes where there is a family car where u stick an L sign and have ur dad yell at you wholeday. Im sure many okes like me were starting cars, pulling it forwards and backwards, taking it down the rd etc way before we could see over the dashboard and our feet just about can depress the clutch. Getting the licence was a mere formality where we probably had some good years behind us, illegally as well (ja, im guilty of this). Many of these folks we hired also had no money for lessons prior to getting the job. Not surprisingly, many of the dents on the fleet cars was caused by them with a licence. I think the same scenario is with Saps, the difference is social workers never needed to chase and race the vehicle to respond to a case, scary stuff when we have a policeman in pursuit with 8 x 1hr lessons

A guy working at the house doing light maintenance stole my bike during Jumuah prayers and is obviously no where to be seen. It is insured but my Garmin Edge 500 and 1200 Lumen light not. I was already at cash crusaders to alert them. We stay in Lansdowne and the oke stays in the Phillipi area. and the policeman were true to form, my dad sat 2 hours

Great article, Im actually excited about giving this ago this weekend. I got shimano pads and brakes. Come to think of it, I didnt do any 'braking' in procedure when I first got the bike and I actually messed it up from the start. I was guilty of pressing the rear brakes lightly as well. This wasnt the case with the front brakes cos I slammed that harder from the start. Now why wasnt I told this from the start? Lol, you learn all the time Thanks, will update once I gave it a go

Need advice. My rear brakes makes a horrible squeaking sound. Not the metal on metal sound. It also didnt brake well and you get this vibrating sensation when hitting it hard. I took it to the lbs cos I wanted it changed. The okes then took it out and said there are plenty of pad left but it was glazed. he removed it, sanded it a bit to remove the glaze and took brake cleaner and cleaned the disc, the problem seem to be solved, for awhile. I had to change the fronts and decided to put a new set of pads in the rear. I cleaned the disc as well. Took it for ride and just when I thought the problem was resolved, it haunts me again, albeit not so bad. Anyone had similar issues? Please let me know

Well done Bobby and the trail building team. Heavy thread. Ok, if the Scott coffee shop is not contributing to the trails and okes feel they gaining unfair mileage then all TMM have to do is erect a sign on the first climb that reads: Please note that these trails are maintained by volunteers and the Scott coffee shop has no connection with these trails. End of story, then everyone knows who to acknowledge for their hardwork and contributions. surely this should be legal and if it is the truth.

I used endomondo with my BB and must say it served me well 99% of the time. I bought a Garmin 500 and totally love it. I love the cadence meter and heart rate monitor. Im a stat man, I enjoy looking at my stats on endo, strava and garmin connect. All 3 programmes offer something special. Ive been pushing harder because I wanna stay long in zone 5, the data motivates me. Certain days I decide im keeping cadence above 110 rpm. So if you love all the data, go for edge 500 at a minimum. If not take the 200 or use a smartphone

Tokai, if you there before 7am most times you can ride for free because the fees office and gate man did not take up station. I'm sure most people don't pay on their way down. I got an annual permit and was probably only asked once last year because all my riding is starting in the dark

Bicycling Empowerement Network (BEN) ?

So tell me, can Sauser train to get this sprinter's 'kick' or is this only a build/genetic thing?

Agree, but if I read Sauser's time in the Argus he pretty looks like he was in the thick of things in the end, so I don't think that is an issue with him

Come on Meezo, Strava is worth 10 points

4 weeks, R 2450 vs a reboot by Garmin very simple deduction, being a noob poster doesnt bother me provided it is fact, after 4 weeks, I will not smaak to engage them further
