  1. Yes you are right! About 11km from the finish around 12pm.
  2. Found a Cateye computer on the Cape town cycle tour today. Please contact me with a discription if you think it might be yours.
  3. I saw the medics giving someone CPR coming down Chapman peak (if I remember correctly). Does anyone know what happened and if he is okay?
  4. . The helicopter in the pics is the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk. Mark Jackson and his company Leading Edge Aviation is contracted by Working on Fire to assist in the Western Cape during fire season (other part of the year they are at home base in Nelspruit). They are using the Black Hawk (appropriately also known as the Fire Hawk) as well as Hueys (Bell UH-1). So, no the helicopter did not come from the American boats. ????
  5. I only use squirt lube on my bike, to be honest I have never degreased my nx 1x12 chain in 2 years and done about 4000km on the same chain and it is only on the 0.5% mark of wear. I also lube only on the inside of the chain, for a max of 2 revolutions. The drive train is silent, a bit dusty on the sides of the chain yes, but the rollers between the links are clean and not sticky at all. I tend to apply new lube after about 3 or 4 rides.
  6. I have also been doing the reflective tape thing for years now. I stick a strip lengthwise over the bottom of my crank arms, it doubles as protection against hitting rocks, and its visible from front and back. I have tape around the top of my seatpost as well as a super bright red flashing cob LED. As a school cycling coach, i use high visibility jackets during practice (yes we look like car guards, but hey, safety first, cant take any chances with a bunch of kids) - motorists immediately see its an "organised" ride, they are friendly, wave and even give way at crossings- even if its a stop sign for us. Safety is more important than looking cool- besides, whats the point of looking cool in your colour coded outfit, if no one can SEE you. ????
  7. Hi all, I am tackling a new project and need some spares. I am willing to pay. I need the following: 1x front wheel (preferably 26" with disc hub) 1x 26" fork (rigid or shock with disc mount) 1x broken/snapped frame for the above fork (I basically need the headset and steerertube of the frame) 1x mechanical brake lever If you think you might have something I need, please let me know.
  8. I don't know why though, they make incredible devices! What I am wondering is whether I can manually send the files to them or use another program to sync it to Vitality?
  9. Is here anyone who has experience with logging activities to Vitality from a Lezyne gps unit? I am new to the Discovery wagon and need some guidance... If this question has been answered already, I apologise, but i couldn't find it via the search function.
  10. Thank you. If you know of someone willing to sell, please let me know
  11. I noted that the online entries are closed for the 40km event. Should I still be able to enter at Lynnwood cyclery tomorrow, or rather at the event?
  12. The super bumpy virgin tracks didnt give me any opportunity to rest a bit. That said, does anyone know of a route in Pretoria that can possibly prepare you better for that amount of climbing?
