MUNTU

I thought the tour was fantastic! Catered for the race snakes as well as riders that just wanted to enjoy the scenery and try get some good training in. Perfect time of year for one of the most beautiful parts of our country. Very friendly support vehicles, for all groups, that everyone could use. Glad to see that next year there will be timing and that the last day is just the road stage so we will be able to get home during daylight. Myself and my better half will definitely be back next year and hopefully bring a few friends.

Vasbyt Boet.....

Geoghan Loop. Quite close to Salt Rock. About 30km per loop I think. Rather hilly as well!

OBI = ENIGMA

GP 4000. I have found very good puncture resistance with these, as well as more than good enough to race on. They are also clearing a lot of slower selling coulours at the moment, so you can pick them up for around R200 I think.

Didn't Thabo say we should keep Jake on???

Try this one RABUBI: http://www.kreuzotter.de/english/espeed.htm

I have used the Rockets for a while and they seem to work pretty well. Besides a bit of a schlepp getting into them, i am very happy with them.

Lose some fat and use aero wheels over light ones

J L in a few years perhaps? May become slightly easier for our okes if the peleton reverts to one speed.

I am so sorry for her and her family. Rode past the scene after it had happened. Very distressing.

Obie may be all of the above but him and this thread, have given me the best laugh I've had in ages!!

My mate races with them (front and back) and he swears by them. Unless a direct crosswind I think you should do fine.

May have been for warranty purposes the second time but I still had to pay. It wasn't much (R150 odd Rand) but it was 1) the principle and 2) why do they keep failing that bothered me. I have a pair of the old black Campag Shamals now that I use for training. Absolutely brilliant!

TitusTi! Then you would probably also like to know that when I returned them to the shop (who has to then send them to Cape Town, I think, because they are a sealed unit) the salesman told me that my wheel was joining another 2 back wheel Circuits on their way back to Cape Town. Actually a pity because I really like how they ride and they are relatively aero and light. Excellent value for money IF they didn't wear out so quick!!

I have had to have my Easton Circuits rear hub bearings replaced twice in the last year!! The first time was within a year and i still had to argue with them. They claimed rider abuse??? I'm an exclusive roadie, 74kgs and treated them reasonably well I thought! 2nd time, I had to pay. Thought you should be aware of that before making your decision.

Yes!

This Sunday unfortunately.

If you want hills, head North on the R102 I think, ( the road that runs parallel but inland of the Freeway) towards Sezela and Ifafa. On the odd occasion i have done that route, the traffic has not been that bad. There is a race starting at Sezela on Sunday. Heading north and back again. 100km. The Potgieter Trophy. If you are keen. Judging by all the comments on how the Cape and Jhb okes are flying, you could just use it as a warm up/training race!

I ride Dura Ace and had to replace my backwheel during the 94.7. Only one on hand was a Zipp with Record 10 speed cassette. Worked flawlessly.

Saturdays - 5am from suncoast casino to Ballito and back. 88km. most times a bit futher north or a hilly loop around ballito and back to give you 120km. Sundays often go South coast from Durban. I should be on leave for that week so PM me if you want to hook up.

Groot Lem as far as I know, third from left is CHUNKY! I may be wrong though.

Chunky, can you help enlighten the okes?

The manager is Dave Wiseman. BUT you okes are missing the reason I posted the pic. One of our members is present.
