Good topic, i need one also. I have not because i am scared the cover damages the paint on the tailgate if any dust gets in between the paint and the cover forming a "sanding" effect. Any of you had this issue?

@ZeroPlay. Thats the one. just got feedback from my mate in the roads department after i sent him the video. He followed up and the reply was they know about it, it is in the program to fix it asap.

Seems like that crash in the video is where the guy was killed 3 weeks back. Same bump in the road. Same result. But he was run over afterwards. Guess we wont see it repaired...... no suprise there.

Thats good to know. They were not painted this morning when i took photos. Hopefully it is the roadfixing team that marked it for removal. Edit, not road crew, a caring fellow cyclist. Thank you

@ChrisF. Directly opposite the jetcutting sign and the big eskom pilon going towards stellenbosch. In the yellow lane.

It was the place he fell you can see it......... i went there now, took photos of the spot. Sent to relevant person at WC roads with a location.

I have a friend at western cape roads i have contacted him, lets see what can be done. Holding thumbs he can get somewhere with flattening it

If this is on the R304 where i think it is it may not have been a cateye, there is 2 very bad high bumps in the tar where they fixed potholes. If you hit that at speed or unexpected it can throw you easily. Condolences

Hi Easybike oakley holbrook XL black polarized! Please........

@bleedToWinAfter epic i am pretty over cycling and cycling related costs for the next unforseeable future, thanks.😜 So the dropper must stay for a while.

I am guessing either having a moooesa account with absa and your absa relationship manager, or be a ex national rugby player, if that doesnt tick a box then being friends with cycling's cool club might help.

Yup i know the feeling. My XL epic was too small for me. Imported a gusset 450 post from the UK. Did the job. Now ride a XXL topfuel and also want the dropper off. No luck with any posts local yet. Desperately wanted to get a trek madone in a 62 recently but its too small for me...... Sucks being tall sometimes.
