Thanks Morne. Love the new branding, looks great! Sounds like Hoogies and Conties is the way to go, thank you. One more question, is the code still 5…?

Eish, the one time I want to look at trail maps and the website is closed for the redesign 😛 Are all the trails fairly dry at the moment or some best to avoid still? Keen for a moderate 30km 500m-ish route and haven’t ridden much lately except for a few Meerendals. Thinking Hoogies —> Conties or perhaps Conties —> Faircape if trails ok. Txs 🙏🏼

Called an eMtb. M = mountain. /mods you can close the thread now, subject question definitively answered

Stunning watch! /looks at my beloved Fenix 3…not ready to let go yet (but one day the battery will force me)

Hi fellow hubbers Supply chain madness...I can't find any range extenders for my Specialized Turbo Levo SL. Doing a 3 day race on 1st of April and wanted to buy one for peace of mind. I will definitely not use in on day 1 - so perhaps only day 2 and 3 (but maybe not even). So my offer: rent your battery to me for 2 days usage at a price you're happy with (and I'll even pay a security deposit :)) Western Cape area. Thanks!

Naked does not insure e-bikes (stumped why not, just exclude the motor from claims, but whatever 🤷‍♂️). 57 minutes and counting for JaSure's bot to reply to my question, guess the bots are also tired after another year of lockdown. Anyone know if they insure e-bikes? Thanks!

I completely lost interest in Strava over the years. But yeah, stats are cool and definitely is a motivator to a lot of us.

the one from top of Visserhok to Contermans - steep climb up to Conties and off-camber downhill back...almost karked myself going down there 😃

I rode Contermans for the first time in maybe 2-3 years - wow! Great condition, some new pieces added, it was a blast. That link from Meerendal is a pig though 😬

Wow, that's very sad. Bought a bicycle from him 3 months ago. Great guy. RIP

Vote for Bogus/Anton

Bogus did 2 beautiful carbon resprays for me. He also does carbon work. You can check his work on Instagram.

Txs for the replies everyone, appreciate.

Thread hijack...I have an out of warranty Garmin Approach G6 - working perfectly except for the power button plastic housing that tore so unable to power on/off. Was told by Garmin Support to hand it in at a Sportsmans Warehouse (Cape Town) to send in for assessment. They want to charge R500 "handling fee"! ???? Do all the SWHs charge the same (another thread referred to R100 charge) or is there any other way to get it to Garmin? Or even a private repair shop (suspect it only needs a back cover replacement) Emailed Garmin - still waiting for response. Thanks

Thanks, informative thread. I recently bought one of those Namgear buckets with all the cleaning stuff and brushes...first wash yesterday. (quite a satisfying experience to take some effort and do it properly - before I use to only hosepipe or take to LBS) Quick question about the polish, I couldn't make out from the instructions, do you polish the carbon frame as well? https://namgear.co.za/#products Txs

Interesting thread. After years on Strava, most of us on our MTB group rarely use it anymore - or if used, then mostly as an afterthought. Nobody subscribes and everyone records their rides on Garmin Connect. Personally, I changed my settings to Private default as in lockdown I sometimes go for a quick ride during the day, but don’t necessarily want my colleagues to see. Also don’t like the fact that you can’t unfriend/block people following you. Strava has become mostly meh. For me at least. So to the OP’s question...yes and no ????

/Bells ordered

Txs!

Hi, doing my 1st Berg this year - the 2 day. I’m from Cape Town - it looks like easiest way to get there is via Durban and drive to Em’Seni? Any advice appreciated eg better to shuttle from OR Tambo etc. Thanks!

Per title, I'm keen to do Sani2C next year, if you're interested and keen to swop for this year's Wines2Whales (will likely be the first race, previously Adventure, now Chardonnay). PM me if you want to chat Thanks

Thanks everyone, appreciate the feedback. Booked at Science to Sport in Newlands for ErgoFit session.

Hi there Can anyone recommend a good, experienced person to do a MTB fitting - Cape Town, Northern or Southern Suburbs. Have used Irma before - she's good - but want to try someone else. Thanks

I'm still interested, thanks!

Hi, I'm looking for a Sani entry if you're interested to swop for my W2W entry (W2W either 2017 or 2018, as you prefer). Thanks

Hi guys Looking for a 2018 Sani2C team entry - Adventure or Race. Swop with my W2W entry - either 2017 or 2018. Let me know, txs.
