  1. I'd guess that its closer to the 14kg side of the scale... I looked at getting one of these frames, but I didn't pursue it hard enough and ended up with a 2nd hand SC Tallboy in the end. As it turns out, that is close to 14kg (but I am a solid 95kg, so no issues there)
  2. Yep. I had some interaction with him too. He went quiet when I said that nothing will happen without the funds appearing in my FNB account. Also, what is this 'pick up agent' that these people all refer to ? I suppose, in a world where Skrill is secure, then pickup agents are a thing 🤣. The rest of us use couriers, because that it legit with tracking numbers etc.
  3. As much as I enjoyed the video, I cant help but think that all of those people will get nailed for assault and battery and the 'poor victim' walks due to lack of evidence for his handyman work further down the road. The video should not have been shared as it dilutes or distracts the original case
  4. That is quite generous. A few good options listed above. Have you looked at Dark Horse wheels? Edit: Jensie beat me to it!
  5. What are you looking to spend on wheels ? The range is very wide...
  6. There's also one for sale if that sort of thing grabs you... https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/dual-suspension-bikes/724312/unno-dash-race-demo
  7. I wonder if anyone will bring this system out here: https://bikerumor.com/motion-instruments-mountain-bike-suspension-telemetry-kit/
  8. I haven't confirmed, but I read that its between Dura-Ace and Super Record EPS (with Power Meter). As D&D says, Red AXS includes the Hammerhead. I wouldn't go and put 'Value for Money' in the sentence, but that is a nice value add (if you want the computer) I imagine that the 1st batch to hit our shores are already pre-sold.
  9. Get yours here now : https://www.webuycars.co.za/buy-a-car/Beeno/Reevo/634010720 Although it a monstrosity, its actually quite interesting too!
  10. Shouldn't that go in the ugly bikes thread?

  12. I sent wheel via Courier Guy - it was about R400.00 or so. Wheels were boxed at LBS.
  13. Did they send letters to Specialized as well ? Or, perhaps Specialized sent letter to the organisation telling them to rename their event! Or did they meet at an unnamed wine farm and come to a friendly agreement over a few bottles of red ?
  14. I'm a great fan of the product for road and gravel. Been using them for a while (my wife and I) and now my mates are catching on too. Small/compact tool in your pocket or toolbag. Quick and easy to deploy. Effective in most punctures that we have had. Its hard to compare how well they work to other products as each puncture scenario is different. But ja, they're expensive.
  15. Perhaps you could change the saddle bag to one that doesn't have straps on the seatpost. Some ideas here: https://www.cyclingnews.com/features/best-saddle-bags-for-your-road-bike/ Or maybe you could most of your cargo to a tool bottle of you don't use both cages. Or maybe a top tube mounted 'bento box' as mentioned above
  16. There's a joke about the village bicycle in there somewhere
  17. I see that they have quite a specific computer and light mount system Some of those bars just have 2 screw holes underneath, and then there are various simple mounts that go with that.
  18. What bars do you have ?
  19. Main Road through Woodstock is being resurfaced, which is great! It will be interesting to see what happens with the bike lane, which was a bit fictitious anyway... Oh, and coming over the Bakery Bridge towards Amazon, the new traffic flow and intersections there will be challenging. Unless there is something formal in place, I see a lot of traffic turning right from Observatory towards Maitland causing issues.
  20. Nice exposure she is getting: https://www.cyclingnews.com/features/friday-euro-am-i-want-it-a-lot-more-kim-le-court-puts-mauritius-on-the-map/
  21. Feast your eyes on this bad boy (I am so confused) https://www.ryuger.com/products/ryuger-eidolon-carbon-e-bike?variant=39543427334284 $ 20 000.00
