  1. Struggling with the same decision. There's a 2x11 Grx setup which may tick the boxes.
  2. Got my order about an hour ago. XT pedals fitted to the new gravel bike, along with some bottle cages. Will break them in along with my new Assos shorts, over the weekend sometime.
  3. Lucky. I seriously dislike Dawn Wing as I've had way too many bad experiences with them. My package is still in Cape Town, it seems. Ah well, it can wait.
  4. PARCEL ARRIVED AT DAWN WING CPT 2020-05-20 18:16 MASS DIMENSION VERIFICATION CPT 2020-05-20 18:29 SHIPMENT SHIPPED FROM DEPOT CPT 2020-05-20 18:30 SHIPMENT RECEIVED BY DEPOT WRD 2020-05-21 03:52 And so the wait begins.
  5. Ditto. Remember to add "CWC" in front of your order number.
  6. And Bluetooth isn't an option for you?
  7. Thank heavens, because my bike from another shop arrived today and I'm waiting for my pedals in a CWC order. Managed to find an old pair of 520's which I had to freshen up with some Q10 in order to get the bike around the garden as a test ride
  8. I have a set of pedals coming from CWC. I also have a new gravel bike coming next week from anther store, which is going to be needing abovementioned pedals. Hopefully they arrive soon!
  9. Any specific reason you're looking for 3x7? I have some 3x9 bits gathering dust that I'm willing to let go for free to someone willing to collect. Shifters, deraileurs, casette and crankset.
  10. Just saying what Chris Jnr said
  11. So instead of speculating, I got in touch with CWC and asked. "Incomplete" means that there's an item in the order which prevents shipping of the entire order, due to regulatory limitations. I have a pair of bib shorts, for example, which isn't allowed to ship. The rest of my order is fine to ship, however, but seems like it won't until everything can go.
  12. Nope. I've had a bent hanger which worked well enough in most gears that it took me a while to figure out why only the highest or lowest two gears in my cassette were having trouble shifting cleanly, irrespective of what I did with indexing.
  13. Still looking for a bike shop in the Northern suburbs of Johannesburg, which can sort out some wheel truing for me. Haven't had luck in finding someone open around here.
  14. To be delivered at some unspecified point in the future, which will be communicated to you through an email with someone else's name on it.
  15. Could work out incredibly well for that one guy who ordered some inner tubes and is now getting a Kickr or a surprise bike. Imagine having to explain that to your wife after she's already pissed off with your previous N+1 purchase? "No, darling! I didn't buy this, it was a mistake in their shipping, I promise!"
  16. And here I thought "Hugenote" was referring to my heritage, but no, apparently the person made a wise decision to purchase items before prices increase!
  17. Who is your LBS? My local is closed and I need someone to true a wheel for me. I have a gravel bike on order that's not shipping until suppliers are open again, so that's making me pretty sad.
  18. Complete Cyclist has a solid selection of bikes on the floor. Good guys as well.
  19. Ciovita used to be great value for money, considering its quality. These days, that's just not the case anymore. So sad.
  20. Don't know about whether paramedics use it, but Rohypnol has that effect.
  21. Someone decided to take advantage of a certain sale! I did similar:
  22. Unfortunately it'll probably cost me a bit more than the R300-odd saving to get to Cape Town from Johannesburg. Are you sure you got the X? The normal model seems to sell for around R999.
  23. May be a bit late to the party but my heart rate monitor decided to die on me. This would be a good replacement. https://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/wahoo-tickr-x-heart-rate-monitor-sensor
  24. My next bike. It also has pretty good tire clearance for that low PSI 28mm goodness. I'm definitely looking for something a bit more plush than my current super aggressive frame.
