@cvdup https://www.cycletouring.co.za/ carries touring bikes and the full kit. Grant is a tourist himself, so full of good advice, and if he doesn't have what you are looking for, will be able to help you source it.

Does anyone have info on whether the bike jackings east of Midstream/Irene stopped, or are they still ongoing?

Some bikepacking/dogpacking in the E Cape mountains. Sam the border collie on Volunteershoek Pass.

Cycletouring.co.za stocks good quality.

@Jackeswe have all of that and did it. I can't give you specifics of why, as my wife is the brains in our house, and she, trying to work through all the changes, believes it will still benefit us. I seem to recall it was for the life insurance, but I stand to be corrected.

I've been down this road. Importing a set of rails was just too much of a schlepp. Keep an eye open on the classifieds and perhaps put out a wanted add yourself. They don't work for everyone so lots of people have one sitting in a cupboard somewhere.

We have 2 cars insured with Momentum. Both cars are in my wife's name. Only she can get SafeDayz now, despite me also being a registered driver on the insurance. Seems crazy to me......

Thanks. Amazing photo.

@Chrisjanopsyfietswhere is this. Absolutely beautiful!

Will keep an eye out. With the Lauf it is very recognisable.

Safe Dayz are no longer on the app?

Agree 100% Sizes are often very small.

This!!

13km to go with a helpful wind.

Not sure which Silverback frame you have, but the majority of frames will comfortably fit a 2.25 only. When there is mud around even that becomes too big.

There are some real discounts here. Nice to see.

250 ish km to go. He could finish tonight some time. Still ahead of last year's time. Super impressive.

Benky 1760km in already. Mind blowing stuff.

NEVER🤣

It's a long race. I see a lot of Freedom Challenge blanket wearers in the line up.

Thanks

Thank you @Spinnekop.
