If money isn’t an object, go for the Evoc Road pro bag, it’s the simplest bag to pack and offers great protection. You simply just remove your wheels and that is it.
DM me for more info.
I dont travel that much to justify the cost of the road pro bag,
Which one would you go for ?
Evoc bag with the stand for a more secure fit.

Or the Scicon Aerocomfort.

The Scicon seems to have less protection for the wheels, but looks easier to pack without the need to remove bars.
The machine is here, where do I find great coffee beans ?
Opinions on the Breville Barista express ? See its on special at @Home for R8k.
I rode my rim Bora 50 wheels, with SwissStop pads with Campy SR brakes within days of Dura Ace discs, and from my experience the discs were MUCH better in the wet, marginally more predictive in the dry.
If your carbon rims are stopping you adequately, you aren't going fast enough
If the rim bike was as good as the disc bike, I would not have changed, as I much prefer the idea, looks and self service of rim brakes. Never nice going from Campy to Shimano....
DISCLAMIER: Its personal experience.
No doubt discs will be better, I am not one of those guys...
But just dont agree that braking on Alu wheels in the wet is "mostly useless"
Mostly useless in the wet ? I think you wrong...
I live in Kloof, where the roads are up and down everywhere. I ride carbon wheels on 2 bikes, and Alu on old bike, never came off and never had issues where I couldn't stop in time, have done a few rides in the rain.
Rims and brake pad technology have improved in recent years, so unless you have tried it in recent months you cant really compare based on 10 year old stuff.
So what do you guys think the weather is going to do ?
Still some rain forecasted, haven't booked my flights yet
Anyone fly with Safair with these Bikesafe hardshell cases and run into problems ?
The dimensions are 1200mm x 900mm x 320mm.
Safair mention max dimensions of 1900mm x 750mm x 650mm
Mango seems to be fine, but flights are more expensive at the moment.
The combined weight of the bicycle and the box or container may not exceed 32kg, or exceed one and a half (1.5) metres in width or two (2) metres in height/length
Whats the start times like ? Haven't received anything yet.
There will be minor differences, like wheelsets, handlebars, seatpost etc.
Buy the one you like
Been racking up some Disco miles from all the plays + card spend and whatever extras they give.

DAMN !!!
This should be hanging on the wall in your lounge
At 6 we are still heading home from the party, you know, to get home in time for a quick shower and a tooth brush before riding to work.
So true... in my younger days [9 years ago] I was asked to move to Cpt for work, and we did this quite a bit in the 6 months I was there. Just did not ride to work, was overweight and lazy back then.
I think in a few years rim brakes and cable gears will disappear and road tires will be tubeless and wider. I would not therefore put any big investment into a fancy wheelset, groupset, frame or bike that does not conform to this as in a few short years you will be behind the technology curve.
Okay...
Sent a mail to Hectic promotions and got this.
