  1. And Race Report here: http://www.massiveadventures.co.za/race-report-2015-dash2durban/
  2. Clearly the Home Owner's Association have had some issue with some cyclists at these gates. (None that I know of we always used to pass with friendly smiles from the guards.) Would have been better for the HOA to just request a meeting with all cyclists to resolve the issue rather than just implement a system which can't reasonably work. #deadlock
  3. Then even less Ubuntu being tjooned by a non-paying eager "runner"
  4. For once a really funny thread... And I though just the DiD part was worth R26k. (Even just to see how it works.)
  5. Thanks for the heads up, this is a good initiative to inform riders. I went through there one Sat morning when the run was on & some of the younger runners felt that because they paid entry fees they should have "spruit closure" and sole access. Not Ubuntu but there it is.
  6. I think this has been covered before but 2,5mm difference is really nothing, like: | | I doubt you will notice any difference, especially if you compensated for the 2,5mm on your seat hight. I would think that a bike fit would be hard pressed to recommend 172,5mm above 175mm cranks. There are so many variables in measuring body angles, etc. that such a small difference will not make any diffenece. But that's just my 2,5c worth
  7. Well done Louis! And what a great ambassador for South Africa.
  8. Did with my daughter on a loaned old Tandem (was it a Zini?) when she was in matric. It was exam time & fortunately all went well as SHMBO would have been quite pizzed if it interrupted the exam. Was best road ride/race ever. Subsequent one I did was quite boring, so maybe next year try getting a spannetjie together to ride for the Freedom Challenge Scholarship Fund or something like that. Put a HRM on her just so I could check up & to make sure that she wasn't just ringing the bell & enjoying herself too much This year a mate of mine did it on the same tandem with his son. Tandems rock
  9. Straight from their own website under Report abuse: http://randombikesworld.wozaonline.co.za/_abuse If you feel strongly, Use it...
  10. From today's race report http://glennharrisonsa.blogspot.com/2013/06/daily-report-28-june.html "After all the drama yesterday, today was a relatively uneventful day in the Gamkaskloof. All of the fifteen riders who slept there last night got up The Ladder without incident and went on to Rouxpos." Thank you Ketoorskop for stating your side here - hope we meet on the trail one day?
  11. I think the concept is good. I may be wrong but it appears to not mount directly onto the towbar ball but into the square tube. Many modern cars (with goose-neck towbars) don't have this arrangement anymore. Also there appears to be no number plate & stop light mounting?
  12. This is an urban legend that won't be killed off... There is no proof that using CO2 affect the sealant.
  13. During the month of January I will use my bike light during every ride I do when on a public road. 1) As a sign of repect and rememberance of Burry 2) To be more visible on the road. Care to join me? Ben de Lange
  14. What a loss: to his wife, family & to cycling in SA. RIP Burry
  15. Mine was also 38/24 (10 speed). Now 38/22 (9 speed) and it works so can't see why 38/26 won't work.
