Cheap bits from China.
Unfortunately the sensor seems to be broken (or a flat battery) Not surprised for 80 bucks

Great couple of weeks. Overdid it a bit yesterday, so weight up this morning. Presume that’s only temporary

Joined F45 (functional training gym type of deal) late January. I dropped 2ish kg in the first week, but we're not allowed to weigh ourselves outside of schedule checkups. I have a feeling I've dropped around another 1-2kg as my pants are falling down.
Hope it goes well at the next check in!
Hi guys. Looking for a 27.2 seatpost for a project roadbike. Please let me know if you have any lying around
but realize you are going to lose power output and you can tell
Sorry I somehow miss the relationship of being lighter yet weaker
When you lose weight, your body cannibalizes some muscle along with fat, especially when you get around 15% BF. Less muscle, less power output.
It's well known that lightweight climbers are outperformed by bulky sprinters
Would love to know how you felt on the bike after the weight loss
I am also at around 83 and cannot even imagine how leke climbing would be at 64!
Coming from triple digits to sub 70 (I seem to hover at 68-69 no matter what I do) I went from back of the pack to smashing heavier riders on climbs so badly that I have enough time to recover while waiting for them to catch up. unfortunately they return the favour downhill.
Being lighter on the bike is a massive advantage, but realize you are going to lose power output and you can tell
Went for a 60km ride and ended up accidentally taking part in a 22km road race and coming third.
I just can't get over how great this bike is at everything

Picked this beauty up today. Did a quick up and down in the road and it pedals like an absolute dream! Can not wait for my first proper ride on it. Thanks to Ridgeway Cycles for organizing it for me.
Gorgeous!
Spent some time with the flamingos at a salt mine

Thanks Sean
The BB is fine and so are the shifters (just look miff)
Seeing as it's a project bike, I'd like to refresh it all if possible, so it doesn't have to be an exact set at all, just something that works and looks better than this trashed set
Morning guys. I am on the lookout for a replacement groupset for my roadbike. It's Ultegra 9 speed circa 2007, but I do not know much more than this.
If anyone can assist, please PM me. Willing to pay
Thank you Kalahari
Hi guys. I'm looking for a drivetrain to replace my busted Ultegra set on a 2009ish Specialized Allez ES. Not sure what's on there currently tlt, but it is not even worthy of tje bin. Please let me know if anyone has something available
There's this Hardegat Trophy that now lures me back I guess for the 5th time, but to start training now already? #toosoon. #can'tdeal
Had the same thought about starting training too early, but when I laid back for a month the previous time, I ended up having my bike in storage for 7 months. Keeping the training going now as I have a good base....soon as the sores on my bum heal up
So you're back in next year?
I'm seriously considering doing a solo next year. Starting my training on Saturday
So? How did everyone do? We finished with 1 hour to spare, must say, toughest one yet imho. Stage 6 was absolute killer in that wind and Nonidas Road once again killed my legs. Sprint through swakop at mind bending speeds because we thought we weren't going to make it.
If yellow BMC guy from Bloem is on here, please get in contact with me, I owe you 7 cases of beer for keeping me sane on stage 2
Nice relaxing ride to the beach

Hey, who said it's going to be easy?
Luckily there should still be bunches in Stage 2 to hide in
Apparently they had some rain and no wind
EMS/Parcelforce woes
in Chit chat
Posted · Edited by partydave
Hi guys, long time no *** praat.
I need some help with our useless postal service. Ordered some parts from UK and was sent via Parcelforce with priority, 7 days, but what they neglected to tell me was that once the package reaches SA, it goes over into EMS hands. Now my parcel has been stuck on "Delivery Agent - Johannesburg - PTT" for 2 weeks. I've tried sending multiple mails to their customer service address(es) and the invoice request address. The customer contact number on their website says it's not available and the SAPO number puts you on hold for hours.
I have no idea where to go from here, any advice?
As an aside, the package still needs to be routed to Namibia, so it can't be out for delivery yet.
URGH!
