  1. Thanks HdB, Jean at Cycleworld sorted us out chop chop
  2. Thanks HdB. I'll give them a call on the way down...I've plugged it into Waze.
  3. Does anyone know of a bikeshop in Bloem that may be open on the 27th? I need a XT brake bled as I discovered the rear one on my partner's bike is pap.😳
  4. Not sure I agree with you fully. The R100 is the cost price of the courier, not the reimbursement for the hassle. If the deal was R100 for Postnet, and R180 for my time to pop down there immediately and send it off I'd agree with you, but it isn't, and I recon best effort is reasonable. In the meantime, I have told those I have sold to that I will send the parcel at my earliest convenience but no later than say the next afternoon or by the weekend - and then do so. I have received no complaints.
  5. Let me quell your doubt, there are many on here that do just that. Many even give things away and the great irony is that Jewbacca is one of those. You picked the wrong guy to p155 over.
  6. What is the consensus Orange seal Regular or Endurance in GP5000TL ?
  7. What is a portion of fruit or veg and how many should one eat ? When doing the health checks Discovery asks how many potions of Fruit and veg I eat a day, but there is no indication of what constitutes a portion. Also, what is the optimum number of fruit portions and how many vegitables ?
  8. Go and see Richard Baxter and do it properly the first time : https://forum.bikehub.co.za/search/?&q=Baxter&search_and_or=and
  9. I know it doesn't count as after Alpe D'huez they would never have let him get away again on stage 14, but I did back of a cigarette pack calculation ....... On the cobbles of stage 5, Louis lost the bunch that contained everyone else in the GC top 10. Tadej took 3:21 off him and the rest, including JV, 3:08. But for that one stage (and yes I know) Louis would be in second, trailing JV by 1:16 and leading the one TP by 1:19 and the other TP by 7:43 Not bad for a lone ranger against the big teams.
  10. I have used CRC in the past but not for the last year or two as the shipping was quite dodge, whether using courier or standard shipping. What is the current situation ? How do the options - Standard, Priority tracked and Express differ and how do each get dealt with in South Africa ? I'd appreciate help if anyone has had recent experience. Ps. I ordered stuff from Merlin recently and received it three days later via DHL.
  11. Married a cheapskate and moved to Canada.....
  12. Long story short. Many years ago, just after university 6 of us went down from Jo'burg to run the Two Oceans. Four guys and two girls. We were heading up the coast for a week afterwards. One guy had his eye on one of the girls and on the first night we went for Fish&Chips and a beer except Alec (that is his name) decided that he would share a seafood platter and a bottle of Chardonnay with the girl. When the bill came, he calmly suggested that the bill be split, popped in his 1/6th (and another for the girl) and then grabbed the bill so he could claim it back at work. The other four of us are still mates. We chose to never see him again when we got back to Jo'burg. ps. I hope you read this, Alec. We haven't forgotten
  13. Beautiful bike and beautiful job, Rob. I wish you well to ride it.👍
  14. Two entries available for substitution. Free to a good home. .
  15. Does anyone have a surplus charging cable for Fenix 6? Happy to buy and pay postage

    I'll contribute 20% of the entry fee if you ride your 20" for @Reinet. I know she will be facing a new and possibly harder struggle. I had my last Chemo a month ago and got the all clear yesterday. I know the toll the last year has taken on Sue - watching, waiting, supporting and living with the constant fear that we may have limited time together and then a lifetime apart. @Cois will not be forgotten but Reinet is sure to need our ongoing support.
  17. 500 laps of the walking track around Zoo lake. 😉 500 over 8 days is only 62.5 km a day. Do 100 on the 24th and 26th and it drops to 50km a day. Easily enough done if you get ahead of the run-rate. Edit: Go everywhere by bike - to the shops, to visit you family, etc. Take a short detour there and on the way back and if you only do 10km like this a day, you can easily get a free 80km in. Do your 2 100km rides and all you need is 37km a day.
  18. I know Ti is harder than bluegum, but leaning a top-tube against a pole, ag sies man......
  19. I don't know if one can still substitute. If so, I have two entries free to a good home.
  20. They may be retailers but as far as I know Ikambi are the agents.
