  1. I spotted that, can't imagine they wouldn't come with end caps. My concern is not knowing the diameter.
  2. Out of those the Swift. It doesn't have shimano, you don't like shimano right? if it was my money it would be... https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/gravel-and-cyclocross-bikes/505087/brand-new-2021-medium-gravel-bike
  3. Sorry guys totally forgot about posting this! Thanks for the replies.
  4. Looking for thin lock on grips (30mm) that are in stock and preferably black and flangeless. Any recommendations? Anyone have experience with these? https://www.takealot.com/t4u-pro-lock-on-grips/PLID71718910?gclid=Cj0KCQiAhf2MBhDNARIsAKXU5GTI8rXT0Xlw78iUBJWMWeHNv4W6JGnF9jliA3nJkocuEXTiNpRbF8saAr51EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
  5. Looks a bit like dry/sticky seals/foam rings and possibly not enough oil in the lowers. Try turning the bike upside down for an hour or so and see if it improves a bit. My policy on suspension service is go to a suspension guru (read Stoke) and use the LBS for the rest of the bike.
  6. How long after a ractec/PPA event are the seedings updated? Did the PPA Sportive last Sunday 31 October and not seeing any change. I did click on show unused seedings at the bottom of the page. I thought it was a couple of days after the event?
  7. Its only related to the points and not cash back rewards, from their site... You earn 20 Vitality points for every HealthyFood item you buy, up to a maximum of 1 000 Vitality points every month. When you buy unhealthy items, you will lose 20 Vitality points for each item. The least amount of points you can earn is zero You can never earn negative points in a month For the flights, the other person has to be a dependent or spouse on your vitality membership. You could also book for just your spouse or dependent without the main member flying.
  8. Seems like you can fit a dropper...
  9. Got a lekker deal on some bibs. Thanks @Cycle Lab and CWC
  10. Hello @Cycle Lab and CWC I used your contact form on your website yesterday and haven't had a reply
  11. They also seem to do some mtb riding. See them at Bootleggers Tokai from time to time. @edkin I'm sure young @reflexus can put you in touch
  12. Thank you for the reply! This option as an upgrade to my current situation is looking pretty good.
  13. How about frame weights... Does anyone perhaps know what these weigh in at? Bonus points for ally and carbon ????
  14. Do you know what the eye to eye length of the shock is? Also max tyre size at the back? Are you still running 100mm at the back?
  15. Is it possible that Cannondale is a 2014/2015 model? Had a little google, it might be. If you do go have a look at least take a chain wear tool with you. Here is a new bike for R20k: https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/road-bikes/505489/silverback-strela-comp
  16. Getting into road riding, I would suggest looking at a gravel bike. Not because they are more versatile or you may want to use it off road, really not for those reasons. I view gravel bikes as road bikes that can take wider tyres. Wide tyres on the road, 32mm or slightly more are really comfortable at the recommended pressure. I run 55 psi and weigh 74kg. I know this goes against a lot of opinions on the hub: (I'm looking at you @Pure Savage) 1. Don't worry about the weight of the bike 2. Go tubeless (at about 32mm) 3. Hydraulic disc brakes Spotted this in the classifieds, all it needs is a nice set of road tyres and you'll be smiling for many kilometres... https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/gravel-and-cyclocross-bikes/500179/silverback-strela
  17. Started in 1c. Thought the start procedure was the best/smoothest experience of my handful of cycle tour starts. Also number collection was so smooth and easy. Definitely revenue loss there. My time is not showing on racetec, anyone know how long it normally takes for racetec to finalize? Garmin has me at 2:59 with some change so really hoping for some good news!
  18. In my experience with having 2 units replaced, both were damaged by me and out of warranty. The discount was not slight, probably around 50 to 60%. Turn around was prompt. I used courier guy to get it to them. Overall happy with the experience and was left with the feeling of a brand that was happy to help me out.
  19. If you fall and break your helmet and you're ok, maybe just get the same helmet again as it seemed to have done its job. But I have seen a few times on the internet the Specialized Align 2 helmet being mentioned as a really good helmet at a decent price. It's about R1000 and has MIPS. As mentioned above, make sure whatever you get fits well.
  20. Picked up a 2 button gate remote on level 5 in Tokai this morning. Give me a shout if it's yours. Has the word BIKE written on it and underlined. Had a chuckle assuming the riders partner keeps taking the remote and not putting it back.
  21. There you go.... https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/shifters/499849/shimano-slx-11spd-shifter-m7000
  22. Ah brilliant stuff! Thanks for the update
