  1. After years of getting refunds straight into my account before my tax guy can even submit his invoice, my bank account has disappeared from their records. What do I need to take with me to get it reinstated or verified ?
  2. It could be converted to a John Deere theme if we don't bring the trophy home
  3. Australians can be a bit loud mouthed...
  4. FTFY
  5. Looks very intense Even more given the current mood here in SA. #aminext
  6. Remember when we got 29'er specific saddles ? Well, here we go!
  7. Apparently a cyclist was stabbed near Pedlars (Constantia) yesterday afternoon. Does anyone have any more detail ?
  8. Wow, I have had really bad luck since switching to tubeless. Blaming luck and not the tyres at this stage because there is no way to tell how a trusty Gatorskin or my old GP4000's would have coped. My pair of Giant Gavia AC 1 (25mm) lasted about 1000/2500km (F / R) Giant Gavia AC2 (28mm) rear lasted 2500km. They all suffered cuts that just sprayed sealant everywhere. no slow death, just catastrophic failure. I did have one puncture that sealed without me knowing - other than that they have been a disaster. On the plus side, the 28's are plush, especially with lower pressure. They are heavy though... It's been an expensive trial and error process. Like I say above, not sure if it's luck or the tyre (Giant or tubeless itself) and there is no way of knowing how a different tyre would have coped. Not sure if I should try a different brand or switch back to ordinary tubed tyres (like GP5000 and Tubolito's).
  9. Clickbait
  10. At those prices, I hope that puffer jackets are included
  11. We rode past there on Saturday at about 11:00 or so - there was a group of cyclists standing around someone who had hit the deck. Cops were on the scene, so we didn't stop. Found out from another cyclist further along that he had hit a drunk pedestrian. I hope the cyclist wasn't badly hurt and is back in action soon
  12. This is the 'Pics that make you wanna ride' thread - and you post Wattage Cottage What kind of riding did you have in mind ?
  13. Not sure if this is new or old news: The usually very well-informed Italian sports daily Gazzetta Dello Sport is reporting that Mark Cavendish, Wout Poels, Eros Capecchi and Bernhard Eisel could be set to join Bahrain-Merida for 2020.
  14. Does anyone know if WhatsApp messages come through on the 530 ? (Please don't start a debate about whether or not you want WhastApp while you ride)
  15. Red Hill has become a no-go area for solo riders and small groups. We went went up and over from the Simontown side, but I dropped near the top and rode the flatter section from the viewpoint to the top of the climb further along on my own. 3 guys walking towards me spread out on the road and then pretended to hitch hike when a car came past. That didn't fill me with happy feelings as I am pretty sure the car saved my day.
  16. When was that ? Day and Time ? Were you alone ?
  17. Not big increases compared to the outgoing 520 & 820 devices...
  18. I hope that they remain permanent fixtures and don't lose interest and fade away...
  19. This one? https://www.instagram.com/p/B1LsGXjl8U9
  20. Don't overthink it...
  21. Liisa is a proud ambassador for Cinelli and is an urban fixed gear rider originally from Sweden and now based in Melbourne, Australia.
  22. With a huge amount of effort and not much fanfare, but great results
  23. Same with Table Mountain - Front page newspaper photos and big publicity showing horses, dogs, bakkies and even ebikes. Lots of applause and then it fades away again
  24. You may have heard Rob Warner mention this once or twice: BMC's Autodrop Dropper Post Lowers On Its Own https://www.pinkbike.com/news/bmc-autodrop-dropper-post-lenzerheide-world-cup-xc-2019.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6QTZafd7Pc
  25. I hope that you are able to swap the frame. Or at least have enough seatpost inside the frame to not void warranty...
