  1. Not sure if this will make the hubbers abandon the witch hunt.
  2. and there goes my coffee.... hahaha
  3. My 19 month old did a 1km ride on her scooter on Sunday. I'm a chuffed dad. She held up traffic, made illegal turns, didn't stop at the stop street. quite a spectacle. She even did a tumble on a downhill while laughing. I got a cyclist in the making, and one nervous mommy on the side. WiIll post pics of her next ride. Btw, I need to get her a bigger scooter now. Any recommendations? A normal big boy scooter or a y-bike? Next year I want to get her onto a balance bike so this will have to lead to that.
  4. Might be a dumb question, but why are there Europeans in a African continental team?
  5. Rapid sports. brilliant bibs. i even do long rides in them.
  6. Mavics are running cartridge hubs. Does that make them a bad choice in wheels?
  7. There are one or two threads about this. But to answer your question, no I wouldnt wear one.
  8. Got a pair of 6600 ultegra calibers from a fellow hubber to replace my tekras. I cannot overstate the difference. Its insane!
  9. Go to the the garage on the corner of bottelary and klipheuwel/stellenbosch road. There is a hunting sports place next to the caltex garage. Otherwise in cental cape town there is also a good gunshop with a shooting range. My brother owns a glock and carries it concealed in a 'manbag' made especially for a weapon. In the front it has normal carry space for wallets, books etc. and in the back pocket (zipped) it has a holster. Very snazzy
  10. Check either Rapid sports, or First Accent. Or here: http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/craft-active-bike-convert-jacket
  11. As promised, here are the photos. Did our first 20min high intensity session with GCN tonight. Eina. Thanks again to Ed, Dibs and Vlad. Great guys these lot! Cheers.
  12. Second trainer has arrived thanks to Vlad! Thank you hubbers! What a great community. Pics to follow
  13. Eina! Dammit! Btw, was that other dude riding with boots?
  14. I dont get it. You trust your baby of anywhere between 15-100k to stay on your car on SA roads travelling between 80-130km/h, and the only thing holding the bike in place is three suckers? And you complain about the price? Hmmm....
  15. Haha yeah, thats the safest route... Unless I am ambushed by an 18month old little pigmy.
  16. Damn, I rode with two family members past there last weekend. Will consider rather turning left (from Bottelary) to Durbanville side in the future. Its really sad.
  17. Anything for the northern subs? We've been trying to get cycle lanes into brackenfell for a while now
  18. Sorry to have missed this. How did it go?
  19. Double post
  20. Regarding your trainer, its a blast. I'm fighting the flu so I couldnt dig my heels in - my wife is strict. But in secret I took a few pedal strokes. It's well built and the ride is smooth. I'm loving it. Edit: very bad grammer fixed
  21. So far yes. Vlad's timeframe is to get a quotation for postage yesterday or today, and ship it before the weekend. I havent heard any bad news yet, so it's so far so good.
  22. You can pm me with your terms kind sir
  23. Thanks to Ed and some good service from RAM, one set of our wheels are on wheels and ready for training! good times.
  24. Thanks guys! Awesome. Ed and Dipslick. You have just made my day! I'll definitely pay it forward when i get the chance
