Weight Weenie

Yep watched it, really is a testimony to human endurance ! Has the Sandman done it yet ?

It's not about the bike

Anyone have their details for the man ?

Good morning hubbers ! Hope it was a good weekend of riding. Now if you have some time to spare while having your morning Java, please head on over to Facebook and vote for me Appreciate all the effort so far guys and gals !!!

I could be mistaken but that is the direct weight on it that it can take, as it is a removable type towbar. Something like a trailer is supported by its own wheels so not an issue.

Oh and MJ you are welcome to try my rack out, just give me a buzz as I need to fetch it from our storage facility. Or I can just mount it on the Corsa and you can fiddle with it there. Whatever

Nie seker nie, I know my Corsa tow bar that's removable is rated to about 50-60kg. Thule will say how much the rack itself can handle. Thule Euro range is also my choice, got one from CWC for 4K, 3 bike. Euroride is the entry level one that I also have I remember correctly. Allot cheaper but heavier, so depends what the towbar takes and what the bikes weigh if you will need the lighter rack. The Euroway (?) can also remove the hooks and bike stands so fitting bikes on is easier. Wheel indents can be adjusted for bike length (an issue with the Euroride that can't do it) Better ratcheting straps and locks included. But all I wanted was a good standing rack with clamps instead of the hanging type that scratches bikes and needs a gazillion straps to secure the bikes so taking that into consideration with the price the Euroride is my pick.

Such as the N4(?) that people use to ride to Harties ?

Hmm seems this app is a bit buggy If you go to the leaderboard link on top of the app, I should be on the 1st page, no.12 Let me know if it works

13th now with 26 votes, awesome job guys !

Less fuel used than roof rack, also you can't drive into stuff but yes colision from behind will damage the bikes. Dust from a dirt road is a given. IMO for 2 bikes get a 3 bike carrier, so much easier. 3 can be fitted to a 3 bike and so forth but going one up I find there is more space, less damage and less hassle. The racks are quite cumbersome to store, they do fold but still big and mine is 15kg so not light either, though you are a spier tier so shouldn't pose an issue Some racks do not have reverse lights, keep that in mind. You will need to get car plates made for it to be legal. check that the light coupling is the same on the car and the rack. Check that the towbar can take the weight if the rack with bikes. Also the rack has a bike weight limit so ensure yours are light enough. The cheaper thules dont lock the bike to the carrier as standard, you need to get locks of your own or get the thule locks. They also use straps for the wheels,the nice racks use ratchets which seem more secure. The bike may touch the rack frame where the clamps mount so I put a slapsock on the rack to stop crank rub. Think that's about it

Thanks for all who voted so far, your names will go into the "draw" Kosmonooit - I don't know how to bypass that, if you don't feel comfortable doing it no worries

My idea is to use a random number generator and then use the number from your post where you said you voted, it that's drawn you win. Sounds fair enough to me ? Not sure what the actual Oakley merch is that one gets so what the actual prize is I cannot say yet.

Thanks dudes ! Mackie you not riding hill2hill ?

Moving up, only 200 more to go hehehehe

Shot Josh ! Gives me an idea, hopefully the other guys aren't making fake accounts to vote with. Anyway Karma is a biatch so good luck to them

Nice to see so the support coming in, see hubber aint that bad Thanks Guys ! @brad - tried inviting but the system is having a bad day, will try again on monday

Thanks for the effort so far guys App seems to be a bit buggy, I can't send any invites out via facebook. Regarding the gear, part of the prize is 10k's worth of Oakley merch so I'm sure I can't use all of it. Will have a draw for those who voted from the hub or something... I see one guy allready has 200 votes, yikes. But I'm sure we can whip him

Hey all As some of you may have seen I am looking to do a marketing internship as I am finishing my degree at AAA School of Advertising this year. So far I have not found anything but an opportunity has presented itself and I'm very excited about, but I need your help to make it happen.... Oakley SA has launched an internship competition on Facebook, where you submit a CV of some kind of weird but awesome job that doesn't exist and that you've never had. The "CV"with the most votes gets an internship in Cape Town to manage their social media, attend events, blog for them, meet the athletes etc. This would be the ideal opportunity for me as I can then combine my love for sports and adventure with my marketing training. Maybe I can even meet Burry some time... Now I'd like to ask a beeeeeeeg favour from y'all. Please, please, pretty please with a cherry on top go to Facebook and visit the app at http://apps.facebook.com/oakley_intern/ and then vote for my entry. It's called "Zombie Apocalypse Advisor" by Luan van Schalkwyk. Part of the package is some Oakley goodies so if I win I'll ensure some of it ends up in the hands of hubbers that voted Shot ! Luan.

Thought about doing weekday rides from the Moreletapark area. Start at 5am, ride to groenkloof, do a lap or so and ride back home to be there by 7am. Anyone keen ?

Nice shoes

We have challenge entry to sell if we can still do that ? We won't be able to make it either. PM me and we can negotiate

Ja i've forgotten, they are open from 5am again from September aren't they ? And close at 7pm ?

AWESOME !!! Well done to all involved

Thanks for the PM. Bike washes can be organised, but then we need to have a "meeting" with them as well afterwards About the spelling - I'm sure it will improve if I have less work and can get some sleep. Posting in the wee hours of the morning is not really conductive to spelling accuracy. Will mail/pm you as soon as I get feedback from my institution. Cheers, WW.
