[Cyclist down Faerie Glen]

Saw a cyclist lying on the road with somebody assisting him around 17H30.  Got the impression he was hit by a car.  

This was on the corner of Cliffendale and Tipperary in Faerie Glen. Just past Atterbury Road close to Hotspot.

Anybody knows if the guy is OK.

[Sunrace Wide Ratio 9-Speed Cassette Questions]

Reviving an old discussion.

Busy converting my old 3x9 to a 1x9. I have a XT M772 derailleur. Looks like it is a long cage. The distance between the pulleys is approximately 10cm.  From the discussion above it seems like it will work with the Sunrace cassette.  My LBS said it is not going to work and that there is actually another derailleur from Shimano specifically for the wide range cassette. 

Any feedback/advice on the XT derailleur and the Sunrace wide cassette would be appreciated.

PS.  Have been to several shops in PTA east and nobody has the 9sp wide cassette in stock. Everybody waiting for stock

[Chainring for 64 BCD]

Hi

I have a triple cranset of which the 104 BCD cannot be used. Looking for a 1x chainring for the 64 BCD position. The biggest I was able to find was a 32T from absolute black. Are bigger sizes available,  e.g. 36T or 38T?

Alternatively an adapter to change the 64 BCD to 104 BCD or to Direct Mount.  Found a lot to adapt from DM to BCD but nothing for BCD to DM

Thanks

[Discovery Health - Vitality & Team Vitality plus everything else you need to know]

Got my Team Vitality email a few days ago with discount codes for the the run and cycle kit. Have been struggling for 3 days to place the order.  The run kid is ordered from Sportmanswharehouse.  I can't get past the page where you enter your log in detail and address.  It keep asking me to re-enter the address. I phoned Sportsmans and they said they are aware of problems with their website. Apparently black Friday is the cause.  I seriously doubt it.  Not for 3 days.

The cycle kit is ordered via Cycle lab.  I get a 404 error (page not found) when i use the link in the Vitality email.  I then go directly to cycle lab's website  and select the jersey.  When I get to check out and redeem the voucher code I get an "expired code" error. Phoned Vitality and they gave me a new code.  Still get the same error.  Don't think the problem is with the code.  

Anybody else experiencing the similar problems or have been successful in ordering your kit.  Just need to make sure the problem is not on my side before I start complaining.

[UAE tour 2021 on Supersport??]

GCN+ subscription already worth every cent Feed quality has actually been brilliant. I reckon if more Saffers subscribe, they will be able to steal the sole broadcast rights away from DSTV for the big events. Looks like almost everything except Tour, Paris Roubaix and a few stage races will be available for us down south this year.

 

This looks like a great deal. Does the app allow multiple logins at the same time like Netflix. Could not find any info on the website

[How do you clean your helmet ?]

Have a white helmet which shows dirt much easier. The helmet is also a bit more matt than gloss. Recommendations on protective coating to minimising dirt sticking on a helmet. Considering using the soap that I use for my car and bike.

[Topeak Quick Release Bottle cage]

why would you need a quick release bottle cage ?

My 2nd cage is underneath the frame and I only use it on long rides. I like a clean bike without to many attachments. Don't want a permanent cage mounted below the frame

[Best Chain lube for MTB]

If you degrease your chain you need to rinse well then put it in the oven at 80deg till all the water has evaporated from inside, then most important you need to do a submersion oil or wax treatment. Drippy drops after a degreasing wont get into the chain where it counts most

 

I have overdone the cleaning/degreasing this weekend.  Did a lot of "drippy drops" but realized it is not adequate.  What submersion oil and wax do you recommend

Looking for a replacement strap for my Caterpillar watch.  Been to a couple of shops in Pretoria and also tried online without any luck.  Seems like it is an unusual strap width vs lug width combination.  The lug width is 8 m while strap is +/- 18 mm.
