  1. How do we get in Greg's house?:)
  2. 100% agree
  3. You can drop your old kit at Go-Cycle Somerset West. They will distribute it to local cycling groups in need.
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. The Bora Ultra's have carbon hubs, where the Bora One's have normal. You have bora one's there.
  8. The Bora Ultra's have carbon hubs, where the Bora One's have normal.
  9. There's a serial number on the wheels. You can search that to view if fake or not.
  10. My crank looks the same, super annoyed as my campag cranks and sram did not have this issue.
  11. Make a cover for this, otherwise it looks amazing and is priced well.
  12. 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#
  13. 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
  14. Local Cyclist Wimpie had a crash due to a pedestrian walking in front of him. He is ok, broken hip and arm.
  15. I think it was listed at 35k, don't know what it was sold at.
  16. 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.
  17. Would you go for a shorter crank then? as I see and read that it fixes hip swaying from mobility issues.
  18. i'm currently using power pedals, so would not want to change.
  19. would be a crime to mix sram with campy.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. Hi Everyone, I have a Trek Madone SLR 58 and went for another bike fit to sort out some issues. The situation is I need another 7mm on saddle height and the seat post is already on max. I can see my pedal efficiency has increase dramatically by just raising it by 3mm. I already have the longer seat post and currently on a 172.5 mm crank. I could ride a 175 crank but that's not ideal. Any innovative ideas on how to achieve this an extra 7mm of saddle height?
  23. Does anyone have the local area agent for Somerset West number? As I booked my Garmin in last Monday at Sportsmans Warehouse (where I bought it) and it hasn't arrived at Garmin yet. There is no place where I can complain or raise my concerns (I have emailed them with no response). Unit was bought in October and literally broke out of the mount 2 weeks ago when I was riding.
  24. Should the vaccinated not be tested as well, as they have a chance of spreading the disease?
