Which op did you go for and how long did recovery take ? How does it feel now on the bike ? Surgeon says I should give it 6-8 months with regular physio and all the home exercises. If it doesnt improve then will have to do the discectomy and have the portion of the disc removed. Thanks for the link, I see they are not in Dbn but will go through some of the videos.

For me its just to get back on the bike and over my "injury" . Have a herniated/slipped disc on L4/L5 and the bike really leaves me in alot of pain. Had an awful 2021, year started bad and just continued that way, coming from 2020 where I did like 16000km on the bike and a fair bit of running and gym work.

No this wont be the Tour Durban route. You will be riding inland from Durban to Shongweni and back. ++++ This out and back ride from outside Moses Mabhida Stadium to Shongweni and back will make for much easier logistics for cyclists wishing to participate in the longer distance ++++

Yeah Graeme Kidson aka Carbon Ninja will be able to sort this out for you. He posted new contact details yesterday, here we go.

only used it once after the update but no issues with ANT.

Hahaha, yes there's some bike tools that I could do with, bday is in April so will have to put my order in soon

Looks to be decent, not as "solid" in feel vs the blue set but guess only time will tell how they hold up

Its on special at Makro for 4k, and comes with a free 12v cordless drill which is a small but handy thing to have. Takealot is r4500 at the moment. Yeah these should last a lifetime. My Dads Gedore stuff is probably 30-40 years old, but also sure that quality was much better back then.

For sure , always get bike related stuff or nice gadgets for those special days.

I had the luxury of using my dads tools for many years, until getting married and moving out. Had the basic bike tools as those were essential but just didn't have the basics for DIY home stuff. So wife decided to get me this "starter" kit.

also having / had some issues with my Direto X on Zwift in ERG mode. and feels like Zwift is changing the resistance on an incline/decline eventhough the workout is set on ERG.

yes some can be done through your savings. Just check with the dietitian.

A very hot day here, was 31deg by 8:30. Something different, went down the South Coast.

Those Reynolds wheels are like bricks. Will need better wheels and a few other bits. But it does look like great value.

Nice sunrise here today, just did an easy 30km ride.

Down to the coast after a while Washed and ready for another day

All the best, 8 weeks without those awesome shots is a long time. We'll be waiting.

Need a better rear light there...

With loads of rain expected for the weekend, I decided to put in the hours today. Started off with some mist and a light drizzle, and end with some wind and a lil more rain. AssSaver saved the day. Late start at the office but who cares when you your own boss !

Sorry but I don't want my number on an open forum for scammers and spammers. While it may make things easier for you, its not ideal in the current world we live in. Anyway if you lose out on a deal because the item is sold already, then you were snoozing... Not the sellers fault. You snooze you loose.

What a morning in Kloof

Easyish solo Saturday grind, from a nice sunrise to thick mist.

1st morning out in 3 weeks, recovering from iron deficiency We have also a fair amount of rain and some crazy wind, so was good to have a lekker sunrise.

Fatigue, headaches, dizziness, high heart rate and higher resting heart rate, and then almost blacked out during a ride 2 weeks ago. Woke up on the 2nd of Jan, extremely drained out. At first I just thought it was from all the late nights and early mornings, chasing Rapha500 etc. Waited it out a week but did not really improve. Now we think everything is Covid so after 10 days I had a test done which was negative, then off to the doc for bloods. Iron was really low and had to get an Iron IV done earlier this week and now on supps for the next 2 months and will test again. Starting to feel better and just sticking to the IDT for now, doing Z1/Z2 rides just to keep the legs turning.
