  1. Just use your glue gun, and give it some rubber (glue) spots. And come summer or the non raining season, you can just remove and next rainy season repeat. No damage, no fuss, quick, quick. And you will hardly notice it...
  2. In regards to gloves, you get these waterproof gloves at motorbike shops, that you can pull over any standard glove. They are 100% waterproof and also keep out the cold. I have used them this week and last week in Cape Town (and many years commuting in Cape Town winters) and you can access your brakes, gears etc. They also have a sort of a leather thingy on the grip side, so grip is also not an issue. And they are pretty cheap in comparison... Will do photos if anyone is keen on a closer looksee.
  3. LOL - Hello, my name is Johan, and #iamspecialized. Not only do I have the top of the range very expensive Epic Sworks, I also have a very expensive Specialized Road Bike, a Specialized top of the range Hard Tail and a super smart Specialized Single Speed, and yes a couple of other cheapies as well... I am so sorry - I will try to be a better person... 😂
  4. Eish, be prepared - some will be unhappy - done this, got the T-Shirt... Strongs! LOL
  5. A coffee shop, Vida on Kloof on a wet winter's morning.
  6. This is what I like from today's riders - out with the "this is the way it has always been done". Hopefully someone also attacks from the go on the last day... #imaginethat It is what makes for an interesting tour.
  7. If MdvP planned to ride the entire tour he would have approached it way differently, me thinks. I think it is unfair to compete with riders who know they must do a 3 week tour and you planning just to do a week. They must spare themselves whilst you can go harder and be a disrupter because of your mindset of only doing this for a week. I do not like it, never liked it when a rider pulls out other than with a crash, injury or sickness. It should not be tolerated.
  8. Thanks DJR, I will most definitely have a look see. Velotex also have the retro shirt, bib and cap for the Peugeot. Bit pricey and worried about the fit... I usually take a medium shirt and large bib, but always found Velotex to be slightly different...
  9. Got my hands over the weekend on a beautiful Rapport Peugeot awesomely restored by buffvintagebikes. Took it for a 110 km ride on Sunday to the top of Chappies and was pleasantly surprised on the comfort and handling, climbing and descending of the bike. I am pretty stoked with bike #8, my 1st Vintage... Any idea on Retro Kits?
  10. Hi Nokka, Kaapstad uit op die Weskus, Blouberg/Tableview/Sunningdale/Parklands se kant...
  11. Still the same situation, many moons later this is still not on the selves here. I keep on looking and *keep on buying the really poor existing cycling magazines because I must have, and they are on the selves taunting me to buy... *and every time I say never again, just to buy it again...
  12. Interesting, do you know when this was send out? We have not received a mail as yet....
  13. Was looking for this yesterday and today and none of the retailer's had the magazine in stock. Is dit al beskikbaar, en indien, waar kan ek hom koop?
  14. And, add a touch of red... #yesplease #dollopofred
  15. Yip, isn’t that so unfair... these damn boycotters [emoji2957]
  16. Good question, I guess because it is so in the open now and that with bragging rights, and I know myself, I will react badly on the day when I see this, and will not be able to use my very effective EI factor effectively... [emoji12][emoji41] And I cannot enter my VTX1800... #unfair
  17. So, it has finally become a motorized event. I think that is me out... #cryalittle
  18. Hold on... They should not start earlier, thereby these wannabees getting the trails in top condition and riding (usually) at the best time of the day with awesome water-points and back in camp before the heat of the day. This privilege should go to the true cyclists. They should start last, long enough back so that they cannot catch any back markers, spend most of the day in the sun and wind, get to water-points that are pretty much used up, and then to the end when the beers are lekka warm and the burgers are cold. Hopefully this will get them to become real cyclists and drop the motorized assisted vehicles for a lekka real MTBike that requires leg-power.
  19. And THIS is exactly the reason they they trust your word - keep staying true to yourself... #welldone #goodonyou
  20. Stagiaire may refer to: Stage (cooking) or stagiaire, a cook who works briefly, for free, in another chef's kitchen. Stagiaire (cycling), an amateur cyclist temporarily riding for a professional team.
  21. So can someone please tell me what is happening here, and why?
  22. I do not think he had a choice, it was the only bowler left who has not yet completed his allocation of overs i.e. badly managed. It came down to poor captaincy, lack of leadership, choking in the field and poor decision making. Faf's post game interview supports this to a large degree. If you listen/read it it seems he was at a different game. All, and all, really a poor show and not reflective of what we as a country should be putting on the world stage. #cryalittle
