Flashfozzy

Only a little water there on Monday. Nothing like the Summer Race

Holdfast make one that fits on venter style trailers. Works well. About 3k

Both my 4yr old and 10yr old ride an easy 15km twice a weekend. We let them compete in the www.like2bike.co.za series every 2 months. This is children only to the age of 14. No times every one gets a medal which is all they want! The 10 yr loves to race and is aware that she is out to beat only her self and the clock. But her vision (not ours) is to ride like Cherise Stander in years to come. She has completed the Emperors 20, lido 35 all in her own time. She respects all the other riders and knows the rules and regulations on what to do the trail. No pressure from us as we are backmarkers ourselves and want them to develop at there own pace.

If it is a snake skin tyre, is it not just sheading?

Yep Cancelled. I have mailed Cycleevents for a refund and they advise that it will be processed ASAP.

BS! As a pedestrian you must report it to claim road accident fund if injured why would it be any different on a bike. she will have to get a case number to claim door damage from her insurance

Having the joy of 2 healthy kids who get the chance to ride and run, this is a tough story to ignore. Deposited R1200 . Ref flashfozzy and family

My wife has tried a few saddles and ended up on the Fizik Vesta. No more pain or sore bits http://www.fizik.com/saddles/women-saddles/women-vesta/

Thanks. Will be buying in the next week

After my mistake and crash 2 weeks ago the Doctor has advise that when I eventually get back on the bike I should consider some form of Spine protector in case I fall again on the same problem vertebrae. Having looked round I am battling to find any locally stocked items and so far have only found the Knox Venture Top. This has built in Back and chest pads in a breathable vest. Are there other options? Has anyone tried this item? Good /Bad any other suggestions other than not falling off again!

Striker is the main reason I can type this reply today! After Sundays fall, striker will be retired and replaced the same again

All "Etoll" SMS are fake! If you read there site they advise that contact will be by post or email only. The cameras are good but from the pics I have not good enough to read a licence disk. This is the series of pics they take every time you go under. 2 of our bikes on the back. Measures 2.8m to highest point. So far no change in classification,

Thanks again. Back was sore but thought it wss just bashed hard. Note to self, don't turn down help in middle of nowhere. Forgot about Move medics!

Who is the fox helmet Agents? Do they offer any discounts when buying a new one after a Crash?

Thanks all. I hope this should heal in about 8 weeks

Big thanks to all the riders that stopped and helped my daughter after I had a serious fall. I ended up at the bottom of the last big dip on the river route at Northern, on my head and back. I was showing my daughter the route for the first time. We were taking it very easy and stopping at the top of each decline so she could look and decided how to descend. I started to go down and caught the left edge that gave way. Before I knew it I was falling head first into the ditch. I landed on my head and flipped on my shoulders with all 85 kg Winded and concussed all I could think of was my 10 year old. She was brilliant! I had blacked out. She had come down the slope, got out my phone and started phoning for help. After a couple of minutes I got my breath back and realised I had serious back and neck pain. Some other guys arrived and helped me up. I tried to walk, this was a no go. Got back on the bike and rode out to where the help had managed to get the bakkie to. 3 CT scans and loads of x rays later. I have fractured 3 vertabae and 2 ribs in my back. Again thanks to all that helped. Regards Gordon Top of my head after fox helmet remodeling

Refund received for the chip. Paid back to credit card thanks cycleevents.co.za

You could not untick the box and was charged R120. I have sent a refund request to Cycleevents as they would not even issue us with the chips!

Do you get a "Flipper" attachment for Cleats? When we registered I had to buy a Racetec Chip. Which is now not required. Are there any other races that will require this chip during the year?

I would love to see the bike setup guys faces when you arrive for a fitting.

anyone?

I currently ride a Merida TFS300 26" with XT derailers, Mavic SLR rims and a RockShox Dual Air. I have been offered a Merida Big.Nine 1500 Lite with a whole 68km on the clock. Besides the obvious wheel size benefit is this bike going to: Last me 5 years? Be as much fun as my current steed? Is it a worthy purchase at R10K? Is there something better for the similar price? At 90kg, is there any worry of this frame wheel combo failing? Please advise any thoughts good or bad.
