I did it rigid, SS some years ago, the worst for me was the death by a thousand cuts as you went into the forest after the climb at 58km. At speed every small imperfection, and there are lots, stones, dips, ruts, roots, etc. were much worse than the wapad or the long descent and just sitting and putting down some power whiles trying to hang onto the bars took a lot.

Yes, without a doubt. Where was this taken ? .

It happened to me on Saturday 1 April, see: I will report it once I am out of Hospital

Just a heads-up of a new to me criminal approach. Cycling up Gordon Avenue, Blairgowrie at around 07h15 on Saturday, a grey Toyota Corolla drove up behind us and wouldn't pass for a block or so and then pulled ahead. I turned right into Standard Drive and just after I turned left at Barkston towards the top of Conrad, I felt a tug as the a guy lifted my gilet and grabbed the phone out of my left rear pocket and jumped into the Toyota which sped off down Barkston towards Randburg. Keep an eye out for a dark grey Corolla with a broken left side mirror driving near you on this very well-used route. Only the driver was visible as it drove beside and behind us with his accomplice obviously hiding down. This was a well practiced routine and had obviously been used before as they knwe exactly where we were heading and also where we would be going slowly and looking out for traffic approaching from the right at the 4-way stop.

I have a new, unused XT 11 speed derailleur and shifter if you are interested. I bought an upgrade kit some time ago and decided to stick with SS. DM me. Ps. I also have a well used matching drivetrain (34 chainring, cassette and chain) I'll throw in for the cost of the shipping

Thanks HdB, Jean at Cycleworld sorted us out chop chop

Thanks HdB. I'll give them a call on the way down...I've plugged it into Waze.

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.😳

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.

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.

What is the consensus Orange seal Regular or Endurance in GP5000TL ?

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 ?

I have a contact called BeGearA Watch 🤣

Go and see Richard Baxter and do it properly the first time : https://forum.bikehub.co.za/search/?&q=Baxter&search_and_or=and

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.

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.

Married a cheapskate and moved to Canada.....

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

Beautiful bike and beautiful job, Rob. I wish you well to ride it.👍
