Indeed!! Wife just walked away and left me to do the unpacking (physically and emotionally) on my own!!

Thanks Gents! Any idea who in cape town area would be up to standard to take the bike to?

Morning Hubbers, Came back from a weekend of riding and camping only to find that my daughters handle bar (end caps also rubbed away so metal on alu contact) rubbed on my frame causing some serious damage to the paint/frame work. I'm not sure to what extent the damage on the frame is but it looks quite severe and I'm also not sure what thickness the frame is and how much material was removed... As it is on the headset section I would like to have it looked at and, if required, repaired by a professional. Could anyone please advise my next step or am I overreacting and should just have the section resprayed? J

Could you post pictures? I had one in my much younger mtb'ing days and that bike was my baby for years! You can try Ruan at A-Type grafix (http://www.a-type.co.za/) in Stikland - he is a genius with any thing decals/signage related!

Apparently there was an issue with a TBMC member/s that left a gate open and one of the Eland bucks escaped (someone from our neighbourhood watch actually reported it on our group) and this P'd the land owner off to such an extent that he withdrew land access. Which I can fully understand as those animals are not cheap. Please don't quote me - this is what I heard in the starting shute...

Have tried most of the salomon range and must admit the XD3APro's were by far the most comfy and hard wearing (except the soles which tend to wear down faster than others). The new range from salomon seems a bit plasticky to me.

With a title like this one we're bound to have some friday popcorn coming up

No more info for you but this sounds very promising!

Sorry for taking so long - had to do some actual "work" for a change Seems I'm getting a bargain on my bike insurance, but please bear in mind I have everything insured by one company(my house, two vehicles, house content, alles!) so that also probably counts in my favour. Contact Adri Venter on 011 672 0232 or mail her at marketing@campherb.co.za She's been doing my insurance for many years and I can really vouch that if there is anything you need she'll sort it out. I even moved my insurance to her new business when she left Indwe...

I've insured my bike for replacement value (+-R15000) and if memory serves me correct I'm paying something like R47 per month. At that rate I'm looking at saving for 26,6 years to be able to replace my bike. Rather insure and have the peace of mind...

Not to Hi-jack your thread but if someone can also advise us on how to prepare for K2C eating wise it would be cool!

Survey done but just a thought - enable the survey so one can enter multiple options for example, I ride with numerous colour socks and kit but can only choose one of each. Just my 2c. Really wish the best for this venture as most quality socks these days are ridiculously priced - saw socks at CWC for R260 a pair yesterday!!

There's few things in life like a beautifully crafted bike! This is one of them

What about us old school 26ers?

Beteken dit ons kan nou maar oor enige stront praat op hierie fred?
