  1. YUP I took the front wheel off, Put the fork in a padded icecream tub, ( this keeps the fork off the bottom of the bike box and centers it, than remove the pedals. place in box , loosen the handlebar but not cables to make it fit, front wheel on the side, and packed the rest of the box with assorted padding.
  2. I have a bike box for you, ( Cardboard disposable ) in HB Pack it up and get a courier to collect
  3. Hi I am 54 and have exercise-induced asthma normally felt after an all-out effort, so have tended to keep effort under control to avoid this. Many years of smoking and propping up a bar counters have not helped either The keeping efforts under control to not get out of breath approach is flawed and on seeking medical advice from my GP, I have gone onto a preventative pump ( Foxair ), and now fair far better. MO is now to use the preventer daily, then have a puff of the salbutamol at the start of the ride and then ride as normal, knowing that I have a pump in my back pocket if I struggle ( this is the most powerful as you will more often than not recover from all-out efforts and do not need it. So partly between the ears, but do what it takes to work for you. Your GP can do a lung function test and diagnose on actual data so that would be my suggested kick-off. Enjoy the riding it will keep you young
  4. You should start a dedicated thread and share your bike setup, bag choice, and overnight choices. I guarantee you at least one follower 😉
  5. Hi Guys What suggestions are there for softroader MTB riding, I.e: a bit of gravel road and pavement, some tar, some commuting, some touring, and the CTCT. ? In the past, I have just used hand-me-downs from other bikes, but looking to improve rolling resistance
  6. It would not be the hub I have come to know and love without some sort of dig 😉 Kudos to Ace for riding up the cradle we are all so fond of. Java on me next time ( or zamelek's )
  7. The girls will be fine , you will cop some flack from your mates though ! As electronic card machine and tap to pay have made premium gold/Platimum cards redundant as ego boosters , Uber will do same for dating A card that goes through for dinner is worth more than the car 😉
  8. +1 for the Jazz and its Ncap 5 saftey rating, It is super reliable and ecomnical You will have spare cash for girls and bikes
  9. When it is said that solar is un reliable as it is only day time , these wise words shoudl be rembered ! There is not one fix silver bullet , it will need to be a combined solution , solar one of them.
  10. Great read so far , please keep the rest coming

  14. Would love to get this in the media , Any contacts or giudance on how to do this ?
  15. This would have been constanitia nek , but also a tight road. The cape drivers are far more accomadationg than JHB, bring your bike or hit me up I will loan you one , Chappies is a specail ride as is the coastal road to town.
  16. KABELO NYATLO's trial is due to commence on 22 November 2022. Strength to HJW in their role in this , for all our sakes we cannot let this go !
  17. This is what we need to make our roads safer.
  18. Very nice thank you for sharing , What bikes did you use ? buythere or hire ? Details please
  19. https://www.thule.com/en-za/roof-rack/car-roof-racks punch in your vehicle details and choose from some options.'
  20. A club group of roadies overtaken by a MTB ???? that could never go well 😉
  21. In my opinion , the risk of loosing or leaving behind a wheel or ThruAxle is not worth the saving. DIsc's are safe on bike , packing them can dirty them or bend them.
  22. Best I have heard is acoustic bike from a musician
  23. Are you trying to merge with the " Do eBikes belong on the mountain?" thread ?
