Hi All I'm coming to Cape Town from the 3rd to the 7th Nov. I am preparing for Ironman South Africa. As part of my training, I have a 4hr cycle on Saturday the 6th. On Friday night, I will be staying over in Noordhoek (not 100% sure exactly where). Due to the circumstances, I'm not too worried if I don't do the full 4 hours. I need to be in Stellenbosch on Saturday and was wondering if anyone could recommend a safe route (TT Bike friendly) / share a Garmin route that I can upload into my bike computer riding from Noordhoek to Stellenbosch University. For now, I would not be too concerned with specific locations in each area. Anyone's recommendations and assistance in this regard would appreciated. Mark

I'd consider the Saris H3, I'm very happy

Thank you for the warning and info

Sorry guys.....terrible thing to happen. Makes me sick. Hope you get the bike back LizeK

Thats awesome! Thank you DieselInDust

Thank you madmarc

Good Day DieselInDust, firstly, thank you so much for the information. I will get in contact with The Sports Science Institute. I think there is a misunderstanding. I definitely want to seek professional advice, hence my post. What I was asking was if anyone knew of a place or professional service offered whereby I am advised what bike size to purchase without having the bike yet. A service that is offered taking into account reach, stack, etc and not only height and inseam.......because from what I have read, there is more to sizing than just height and inseam. Maybe I am over thinking the topic, but, spending R20K plus is a lot of money and I do suffer a bad back and knees and dont want to make the incorrect purchase. Thank you everyone for your input

Thank you lechatnoir. As I thought, stack and Reach are important, much appreciated

Thank you Eddy, I sometimes think I think too much

Thank you 100Tours, this helps a lot.

Thank you Shaper

Hi Vetseun, thank you. I appreciate the reply. My concern with that is, a bike shop will obviously only sell me a bike brand they sell. Whereas, a different brand might fit better. Maybe I am incorrect. Honestly, I'll probably be buying second hand.

Hi All I am looking for someone who can measure me and advise what road bike and triathlon bike size I should buy. Taking into account more than just my height and in seam as from various articles I have read, stack and reach are important factors to consider. All the services I have found require you to bring in your bike. I dont want this, I want to be advised what size to buy, assuming I would be advised on stack and reach and maybe other important geometries. I have been reading many topics regarding sizing and the more I read, the more confusing it is becoming and I am now of the opinion that I would like professional advice as different manufacturers have different measurements and therefore, a 54cm from one manufacturer can be a 56cm from another. As we all know, bikes are not cheap and I would therefore prefer to make the correct purchase. I did go to a reputable bike fitment place in JHB for a so called sizing advise prior to purchase, but I feel the service was poor and it was a rushed job, no more than 20-30 minutes and walked away with my in seam, bar width and been told I am a 56cm, which many calculators online could tell me. If anyone can advise where I can go or can provide me with sizing and fitment information, it would be appreciated as maybe I completely misunderstand the concept of proper bike sizing. Like this calculator, but it said I am a 56-57cm road bike and a 46-48cm TT bike using the same measurements. I have emailed them asking if I have done something wrong. https://www.competitivecyclist.com/Store/catalog/fitCalculatorBike.jsp https://www.bicycling.co.za/health/10-bike-fit-myths-busted/ https://www.slowtwitch.com/Bike_Fit/Road_Bike_Fit/Reasonable_bike_fit_expectations_3595.html

Hi All. Could anyone advise a good swimming coach in Johannesburg?

@ Duane,I dont see why not

@ Long Wheel Base - LOL, good point

@ Swany, . Keeping the gear that makes for a comfortable ride is important.

Thank you DJR, understood :-)

Good Day Hubbers Hope you all having a good week. Quick question, why when most people are selling a bike, do they not include pedals? I am just intrigued to understand. Thank you Mark

Thank you Mr G
