  1. Surely a FULL refund is due for those who want it ... Does the event organizer not carry the risk , and insurance , for an eventuality like this ? At R 630 per entry makes you wonder if it is worth entering these event .
  2. Yip , same one .
  3. Morning Hubbers , That is a pic of my ear after we had been hijacked . There were 7 of us riding together at about 6.30 Saturday morning . The 3 assailants surprised us , threw rocks to get us off the bikes , then proceeded to pull a gun on us . We didn't resist in any way , but when we were walking away , they took a shot at us , definitely with the intent to injure or kill . They were super aggressive and no doubt in my mind , if anyone resists , they will shoot . Please be vigilant , and my 2 cents , don't resist if you are confronted especially if they are armed .
  4. RIP Willie , a legend of SA Cycling
  5. I used TPVirtual for the first time yesterday . Worked perfectly . Very similar to Zwift , just needs a Companion type app .
  6. Hey SwissVan , ever heard of Lance Armstrong .... same same , just different ....
  7. Ya , my Di is the old Dura Ace , has an external battery . Left the triple chainrings on , but obviously can't shift to the granny blade . Still 10 speed . Do it , best upgrade for a tandem .
  8. I put Di2 on my tandem about 6 years ago ... game changer .... but you cannot use the smallest blade if you have a triple on the front . But certainly we'll worth it .
  9. Hey Splat , Easy on St Cyps .... my daughter works there . ( Comic sans engaged )
  10. Most motorists don't appreciate that when we are cycling at 35km/h we cover about 9m per second ....so when (if) they see us , they just presume the gap is theirs to take .
  11. Hey Iwan, what you think ?? Bike Hub Pay maybe ?? ( in comic sans )
  12. Great news , and well done to CL for their attitude in sorting this out .
  13. All the best 'Dale , stay positive and heal up quick .
  14. Enjoyed the race . Felt safe at all times .. Is it just me or a Finishtime useless ... have me 30 minutes slower than what I did , and I see quite a few errors .
  15. If you book with Flysafair , it is an extra R285 per flight to take your bike . It is then on the flight with you .
  16. I have 1 set of SwissStop Black Prince , Shimano compatible pads if you interested . They are brand new . DM me if you keen .
  17. I know that , but a while back you couldn't get charges at all ..... usual Shimano problem in SA .
  18. She should have informed you first . Now she should pay for the new charger . It's not like you can just buy a charger at the local electronics shop . The charger is part and parcel of the groupset .
  19. Nike ... sorry I mean JUST DO IT
  20. I think more than a FEW doubts .....

    Where do you see the documentary . My Netflix says not available in SA ....
  22. Hope there is going to be a live feed to the elite race .
  23. I usually do keep my gel wrappers in my pocket , but they made such a song and dance about the litter zone that I felt obliged to toss my litter ....
  24. I think it is good of the OP to mention this . We were told on a few occasions whilst in the start chute where the litter zone was . I for one dumped my litter there . I was fully expecting the organisers to ensure that this would be cleaned up after the event . I don't think it is up to the OP to clean up , and kudo's to him / Her if they did .
  25. Wattnow , I heard the reason it is in Oudtshoorn is cause they were about the only province that put their hand up to hold the event . I was told Gauteng /Gauteng North didn't even apply . Not at all sure if this is true , but it does sound like there could be some merit to it .
