I made one at my local machinist. Otherwise try richie spares here on bikehub.

Its not too technical if you are fine with switchbacks and flowy descents.

Change which rides you do. If it's not "fun" then don't go. Don't put pressure on a distance, time or waking up super early. Also try and focus on just riding with friends and family until you start liking your bike again.

Just stay in Somerset, what else do you want? Your property here will just increase in value. We have Lourensford, Winelands and Jonkers is a stone throw away. We also have an abundance of restaurants and wine farms and the best woolies in South Africa "waterstone". You can visit all the small towns anytime.

How do we get in Greg's house?:)

100% agree

You can drop your old kit at Go-Cycle Somerset West. They will distribute it to local cycling groups in need.

With the madone's it's one size up from normal, usually I ride a 56 but my madone was a 58 and I had to get the longer seat post. Make sure which length seat post is on the bike, its an expensive item to replace.

Hi Everyone, My Cannondales Brake Calliper Stoplock eclip has snapped in halve. I can't find the real dimensions anywhere but it seems like a 2.3mm. Does anyone know where to get one? Thank You

Hi, you can purchase any integrated bars for your madone, you just need the correct headset spacer kit. Trek has x2 for the madone, one is for their integrated handlebar which won't work with an aftermarket handlebar and the other can work with aftermarket integrated handlebars. Please see headset kit: https://www.trekbikes.com/za/en_ZA/equipment/cycling-components/bike-headsets/trek-madone-9-series-headset-spacer-kit-for-use-with-standard-cockpit/p/22332/ The handlebar should have internal cable routing and exit out the bottom which connects to the headset.

The Bora Ultra's have carbon hubs, where the Bora One's have normal. You have bora one's there.

There's a serial number on the wheels. You can search that to view if fake or not.

My crank looks the same, super annoyed as my campag cranks and sram did not have this issue.

Make a cover for this, otherwise it looks amazing and is priced well.

I Think it's the 1.5V LR44, just take your battery with and see if its the same diameter. https://www.takealot.com/eveready-platinum-1-5v-lr44-button-cell-pack-of-2/PLID58853782?gclid=CjwKCAjwh4ObBhAzEiwAHzZYU_uy0EtBimM6U2e_B8E1jUN8LsiNCYf8qRPhr3JwagAzXIn8P8OjdxoC7HcQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds#

Hi, you can use x 2 small batteries and it works. I buy the CR1/3N from battery guys in Somerset West. Any specialised battery shop should sell it. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Battery+Guys/@-34.106625,18.85479,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xd66264b3f2586f5d!8m2!3d-34.106625!4d18.85479

Local Cyclist Wimpie had a crash due to a pedestrian walking in front of him. He is ok, broken hip and arm.

I think it was listed at 35k, don't know what it was sold at.

https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/road-bikes/544954/emonda-sl-5 Another example of reselling on bikehub. Was listed 2 weeks ago by another seller.

Would you go for a shorter crank then? as I see and read that it fixes hip swaying from mobility issues.

i'm currently using power pedals, so would not want to change.

would be a crime to mix sram with campy.

Thank you for everyone's advice, I think the best option would be a different saddle with a higher height combined with 175mm cranks. Hopefully this will give me 5+ mm which should sort out my issue.

Yes, thought about trying to get a carbon specialist to make the post longer, i'm 181 cm and 87 inseam. On trek's website it said 58 or a 60.
