  1. on Strava the segment is called "McKenzie grass" - park section next to John Mackenzie drive. The area is Emmarentia. Park next to the Roosevelt Park mashie course. I went through there yesterday around 9h30
  2. Took me nearly two weeks to shake this one off - my wife battled for almost three. Good luck...
  3. Our second one this year, and also doing the Descent. So opgewonde soos 'n dominee wat op honeymoon gaan...
  4. Hit reply and then in the next window hit "more reply options" - at the bottom of the text window. You'll find the option to add attachments on the next page.
  5. His contract with TDD/NTT ends 2020, so my guess is he's going nowhere.
  6. Friend of mine have Ohlins fork and shock on her Spaz Enduro. Pig in sh*t is an understatement. And that gold on black is sexy AF
  7. wow, can't believe Fenix 6 is out... I'm still very happily rocking my Fenix 3 for almost four years.
  8. All done. Was very simple to do - trickiest bit was grinding the head / flange off the rivnut, but after that; very easy. Thanks for the top tips everyone
  9. Lekker! Who do you use for rentals? I used www.bcyclet.com while visiting Grenoble in June - excellent service and decent bikes...
  10. it's out... bit of dremeling, bit of knocking and now it's rattling inside the frame Should get it out through the headtube easily enough. Off to Temsik in the morning for a new riv nut!
  11. Thanks! Looking at some of the replies above, installation looks to be fairly simple - it's the removal of the old one that I wasn't sure about, but have seen now that you need to cut the flanged head with a Dremel. I'll definitely give you a shout if I don't come right.
  12. cool! I'm just not going to try and do that myself. I'd rather take it to a shop that's done it before than a shop "giving it a bash". Or is this a simple thing bike shops do all the time and I'm overthinking it?
  13. Anyone ever had a rivnut replaced? And where (in Jhb)? I fear I've screwed one up beyond repair (bottle cage mount) and probably best to replace. It's still well connected to the frame but the internal bit is fubar with the sheared off bottle cage screw still in there after trying to remove it with an easy-out. MF'er just wont come out. Haven't tried to run a tap through it yet and not sure it will work. Would rather replace the thing if possible. Any guidance form someone whose done this before, and where, greatly appreciated!
  14. Think I saw 14h30 CET somewhere in a tweet this morning but can't find it now.
  15. Shack to top of Breedts is 5.2km and 354m up. 6.7% average gradient, so not too bad, but the terrain is what makes it really challenging. Haven't done it in the last 6 months so not sure what it looks like now...
  16. Fixed now. Update picks button appeared a short while ago.
  17. yup... same issue here. Admin please help!
  18. Apparently there is some issue between Strava and Garmin - saw this on their twitter (Strava) timeline after also not being able to sync. They said it's resolved and should update at some stage... https://twitter.com/StravaSupport/status/1145486359232040960
  19. Hahahahaha! Lovit! Hope she goes for the bunch of flowers when looking for a moering tool when you show her what you bought! Those cassettes can cause some serious damage when thrown.
  20. Funny thing is that it's only a requirement for the spouse. My wife is 5th gen Italian and started lessons as she figured we can't be getting citizenship if we can't speak the language. Stickers all over the house, especially in "la cucina" and against "il frigo".... I haven't started lessons yet and only recently found out that as a spouse I need to pass a basic Italian test... "merda". It does help that when I walk through "la porta della cucina" I see Italian post-it notes all over.
