To be honest, doesn't surprise me that anything on leatt gear would give one hives😅. They really use the cheapest of the cheap materials. Almost all my leatt gear has fallen apart just from washing. Once bought a R1k enduro jersey. It lasted one ride. Pulling apart at seams. Never again.

Tar in 45*C Paarl is liquid…and therefore lava…and untamed.

Yea that wording was chosen very carefully. ‘During the race’ is key imo. i trust what @DieselnDust has posted more than anything in that media briefing

Plus…Sein vang is maklik as als om jou plat is en jy kan 200km ver sien😅. Berge en koppies speel n rol, veral in daai paarl pizza oond.

Individual finish maybe? As in left team mate for dead😅

We (the ‘enduro bros’) got some airtime?! What is this madness? Really miffed i’ll be missing this one due to injury…again.🤦🏻‍♂️ good luck boys & girls! 5 stages at jonkers is no joke and Armageddon-crampy-jelly-leg-syndrome is a real thing! Whisper to your bikes - so they treat you well on the final two stages, because you’ll likely just be a passenger lol!

My garmin watch lasted 3 months😅

Although i’m not sure what the duties are on electronics or watches (if any), bringing it in through an online retailer will likely mean that price will be Ex VAT, customs handeling fees and whatever duties SARS deem fit. So as per shopping bike parts which draw 0% duties…expect to ad about 25% ish on top of what you pay. Then with things like this with built in communication tech…you always run the risk of things getting stuck if someone realises it has to be ICASA approved. Garmin products are on their lists. https://www.icasa.org.za/pages/type-approval?TSPD_101_R0=086f0ac93aab20008bdec32da206f4a4d21fc765a9d3e34af1d3f16d8767aeb17f912fe3e9b46b7108dc196e4214300097173b13c8f205cb41bd8fa8556c3e8e8cdb056bc28b3c372d42c2c8e01dba4caffa7f73373bc4cb1e1d67c886dc7343 ask Elon why he cant have starlink in SA lol. provably better to get a friend to buy and bring in a suitcase.

Until it inevitably bricks itself (as they do) and you are left with a device you cant exchange locally😅

This. a MTB is a road bike too, albeit a slower one, but a way more comfy one. But it’s a bike that can ride any road. A road bike is a road bike. And on some roads a road bike is pretty crap😁. OP, the answer is clearly then to buy a gravel bike…

This one too😁

Wrong thread i think?

One of my go to’s. Owner is a standup guy, i have him on WA and he’s always willing to go the extra mile. And i guess you are looking at his store because his pricing is great. Use with confidence. Edit: He’s on here too, not too active though, but don’t let that worry you: @Shredshed.co.za

Yes. Same thing, different length air spring SID 100-120 / Pike 130-140 / Lyrik 150-160/ Zeb 160-180

I used to have a 120mm carbon one circa 2016. Even back then they were super nice compared to other things. And stiff like a fresh banana!
