45cm gym balls should work ? they are afterall "antiburst"

my thoughts exactly, everyone punting their best rockers... In anycase, I wont ever spend R5k or R8k, or the stupid R20k on some rocker plate.

Been following this and decided to get something built. Read up quite on a bit on the FB page, and see a few people had issues with the balls popping so I went the easier "rocker" way. Used ply wood for a full length rocker with 5 rockers, seems stable enough. I spent 3 hours on it so far and seated riding is quite nice but standing and sprinting will take some time to get use to. Will post pics once i'm done with the paint job.

If you are not brand driven... you can put together a really nice top end bike with the best parts available for much less than this. Factor Chapter2 Swift and many more

190k for an Sworks sticker... no thanks

Seriously? If you had a business, would you ship 4000 pairs of socks at your cost ? I guess that would be a NO , so why expect it from someone else ?

Please share store details.

but those R2500 sunnies will make you look pro so its needed

Still better than a Giant or Spez ...

Goodluck and enjoy the journey.

If you place the order today, you still end up paying the bank a rate of around 17. Then actual freight costs have increased and all costs at the ports have gone up from 1 April, annual increase from Transnet. So there's many other factors that affect the end price, not just ROE.

I have a client who imports raw materials for the paint and cement industry, all low value products. They had about 90 containers come in during late March and April. They are sitting with around R1.5m worth of storage costs after a 50% discount. The shipping lines offered some assistance but its not enough for non essential goods. Crazy times.

Zwift !! OP mentions he wants to get going again... The boredom of Trainerroad will get him off his bike in no time. TR is great for when you looking to improve those numbers and sharpen up. Sufferfest, great app but I no longer use it as it doesnt support my old cycleops trainer. Zwift is great to start with, the group rides and races really help to keep you going. There are loads of group events that are 60 mins at below 2-2.5 w/kg. No better way to pass an hour.

@ Waynemol, perfection simplified ! Thats a slick ride and the small touches really make it stand out.

received my order this morning, thanks

Reebok Zjet 460 arrived on Tuesday, and also Spez 4iii crank arm power meter added onto my Swift Uvox. Was the only treadmill that fitted into my budget that we could get without waiting weeks for it. Paincave/home office set up. Just need to tidy up all the cables etc.

Assos all the way ! I have a Supremo bib and they are nice, but my Assos Cento and S9 are still ALOT more comfy.

do you guys have any toe covers going online soon ?

You are safe, as long as your family members are not carrying any bugs...

So all Non-essential items are not allowed to be on to roads, or delivered to customer to be unpacked. What this means is that all non-Essential containers are being moved into storage and can only be delivered after lockdown. Most shipping companies are offering a 50% reduction on their costs, but these are soo heavily inflated that even with a 50% reduction you still in for a huge amount. Average storage rate with a few shipping lines are around +/- R600 day/container + another $25 detention [R450] + transport from port to storage of around R1250. So additional R38k just on 1 container. I have a client who is fairly new in business and importing, he does aluminium profiles and imported a 12m container with MSC, 25 days in storage and we sitting with a total bill of R150k, how does he recover from this ? Another client imports raw materials for the paint industry - 86 containers currently in storage with charges of around R450k. How does one recover from this ? This forms part of the total shipping costs and these charges will have to be added into the sale price of the item, why must the importer be liable for the additional costs ? So prices can change while the goods are still on water if you had to take into account all these additionals once it lands in SA.

Post-ride coffee after Saturday club ride , haha. #zwifting First time I've ever spent this long on a trainer.

Going through old images from a few years ago...
