    Sorry to hear that! I am also in Claremont. There has been quite a bit of dodgy activity lately. Our sliding gate was lifted off the motor so they could get into the car port a few nights ago. Our cars were locked, but our neighbours weren't so lucky... The cops got some guy loitering around the neighbourhood the other night. He caused such a scene by screaming like a woman being attacked. Scared the hell out of me!
  2. Sorry, I meant Ergofit Do a search here on The Hub. There are several threads
  3. A better fork would make a huge difference in control and comfort, and ultimately your enjoyment of the ride.
  4. From what I have heard, Trek does not have a good prescence in SA, so backup hasnt always been so good. Having said that, new people are supposed to be taking over and giving Trek SA a bit of an over haul. Giant gives you a lifetime warranty on your frame. Their geometry is quite different, so either test ride the two or get a Egofit setup done to see which bike would suit your body's proportions.
  5. You need to mow your lawn! Bwa hahahaha Awsome machine, Crow. Wishing you many happy and safe miles (I hope your wrist is up to the job)
  6. There is a 'to be arranged' option so that you dont get people's hopes up...
  7. My first ride on the warranty replacement

    How do they compare to Chris King? Apart from being lighter...
  16. With Di2?
  17. I remember when I checked my bike in 2 years ago, that I had to sign a waiver that I couldn't hold the airline responsible for any damage. It felt like no one took any responsibility for anything. So they could do what they like and not he held accountable.
  18. Even if the bike itself was ordinary, the paint work is incredible! They have done some fantastic projects: Flickr
  19. I can't take anything he says in there seriously. Its actually mildy amusing.
  20. I have several mates who were all in the same situation. Bikes and bags arrived @ around 11:30 last night. So after a long and stressful day, they were assembling bikes way past midnight. Not an ideal way to start a stage race I hope they all managed to get some sleep and have a good day's riding.
  21. Apparently there is a major traffic jam as well. So there are people in the shuttle bus on the way to Underberg without their bikes and after 2 hours, they arent even past Hillcrest
  22. Is that a Womble? And why are they in the bath?
  23. Search for his content - he has made some really valuable contributions to The Hub lately.
  24. I think that there is only one Sky rider using the new Dura Ace
  25. Where the top tube meets the seat tube
