Definitely another scam. Its a new Facebook account loaded in 2023. I also see that comments as been disallowed so people cant worn others.

Just a little info for next time @Yaz and everyone else. There are times we see a good deal, sometimes real and sometimes a scam. The 1st red flag is check how new the hub account is or how long the guy has been on Facebook, those are easy to spot, 2nd red flag is when the request to pay them by E-wallet/pay to the cell no. (bank account would normally confirm that you chatting to the same person). www.truecaller.com is also your friend. Those are normally the checks I do. Hope this helps.

Totally agree with you, guys that left definitely missed out. Opted to start in Group 3 after seeing some Elites on the start of Group 2, new I would be bonking shortly after the start. Group 3 rode well and taking turns apart from a few, but definitely some hard pedaling involved.

Would have liked it before 1 Tonner.

Thats weird. Ive done it a few times. Both sending from Cape Town and vice versa from other branches. Maybe they no longer do it. Next best is The Courier Guy. Budget about R650 for courier.

Stolen: Giant Not Sure Where: Woodstock, Cape Town, Western CapeAs per the pic attached. Thought id post for you guys to share.Get further details about the incident in the Stolen Bikes section.

Its not only Shimano. Ive been trying to purchase some Sram parts over the years but they blocked from shipping to SA. example below. **** part is if you call the agents in SA all the say is there is no stock but there is plenty outside SA.

Hi. Hope this helps, if you looking to buy other shifters. I know they are hard to come buy currently https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/8763496740343027/?ref=marketplace_profile&referral_code=undefined https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2019749858417108/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Ab3b400c8-4a1f-4b69-8098-880b4eec2b44

Im really not sure how one qualifies. Im 45 and will race in my age group 45-49. If it helps i do have a CSA license.

It was like that last year as well. Going up Eastern BLVD they start attacking each other and were swerving from left to right. On the flats they don't do much and burn out but its sudden movements they make in the bunch that makes me uneasy.

The nerves has just hit knowing under 19's will be racing in @ again

Drop off at Cycle Lab. R700 , they will box it for you and ship it from store to store

Started in B with you. Started working a bit in the 1st half and also realized if this continues ill be burning all my matches. Kept looking back and there was a massive amount of wheel suckers behind. Even 1 or 2 that still wanted to sprint to the finish after not even taking a turn in front. Was a bit frustrating but happy to have finished pretty high up and safely.

This is true, there are other factors that contribute

One of the reasons why most people take Whey is for quicker recover for the body and muscles, the main ingredient is the Amino Acids that is contains. You find them in all the products life Mass builder and a few others but the Whey protein has the largest amount of Amino Acids ( in a shake or meal replacements ). Whey is also the most expensive. Amino Acids aids your muscle recovery and builds lean muscle, so not only do you recovery but you get stronger. General senses is that it should be taken within +- 30 mins after any activity short or long, this is when you body is looking for nutrition and absorbs it the best. Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) comes in different forms, I prefer buying BCAA (USN BCAA 12:1:1) as your body doesn't have to break down all the other ingredients that's in the Whey protein, its cheaper and your body absorbs it faster. What I also like about the BCAA is that you can drink it anytime (Before, during and after) Its is every bottle and make and drink it on commutes and training rides, i have even raced with it, Ill have another bottle after training and racing. I've been using it just over a year now and seen improvements, wished I started using this when I started riding. Carbs is the best to race with but Branched Chain Amino Acids is the best for recovery. There is some guys on pro level that races with both BCAA and keytones in there bottles. Here is a link from Brent Botha (South African) on recovery. https://israelpremiertech.com/essential_tips_to_a_faster_post_cycling_recovery/
