    Solomons

    Had a couple of dealings with them, sales yes service no. Same as Cajees as far as pricing goes dont pay what's listed. I've got items cheaper than CWC advertised.
  2. I like the idea of a central point with a list of stolen bikes is maintained, this can then be reffered to by police, eBlockwatch members, security companies etc, might take a while but then Rome was not built in a day.
  3. I recently bought a bike through Buycycle, very professionaly handled. Methinks other local online shops could take notes in customer service.
  4. Not really, the SAPS discourage their members from carrying firearms off duty, reason - criminals know that they carry them and so target them. I cannot recall of someone being killed thus far for their bike and possesions, roughed up, beaten, traumatised yes, but not killed. This could be because the criminal knows chances are you are not carrying a lethal weapon. However if he believes you are carrying he would first think of neutralizing you i.e. shoot you and if by chance you have a gun he has hit the jackpot.When cycling its best to view anyone particulary 2 or more persons walking suspiciously, now the problem is do you pull your gun out everytime you pass them, because if you dont your chances as being someone with both hands on the bars and being out of breath, against an armed criminal who is edgy and high on andrenelin are not good. If i did carry a gun and it was taken from me by force only to be used later to kill someone, i will not sleep easy.
  5. Cool, i'm in awe
  6. Downside is that if it becomes more commen carrying a gun is it will make cyclists more of a target, its easier to trace a stolen cellphone than a gun.
  7. True BigH, but uncool for CWC to try hijack this.
  8. Never had a problem with CRC and local i use Buycycle who are based in Pta.
  9. Still no 21/22" 29'er.
  10. You got a bargain there.
  11. Been a while since Oliver made an appearance
  12. 3 Garmins and 1 Polar which i use at gym, i also have another Polar, Delphi Blackburn and Timex lying around somewhere.
  13. I ride with slime tubes and liners and todate the only time i have stopped to fix a puncture if its someone elses bike, might be a bit more weighty but less hassle. If you do go this route get good liners and slime tubes.
  14. Anthony Charteau was in South Africa

    Energade

    I've tried a variety and find Energade works for me, as does Powerade, USN etc but some riders have different reactions. Best is to try it out on a hard training session rather than in a race.
  16. ANC in the Western Cape
  17. Boks attempt to repeat their Tri nation victory last year
  18. Contador was 6th and now 35th on stage, for a claimed TT rider also pretty much nowhere. Won the the GC fair and square but certainly not convincingly, at least to me.
  19. Fixed. I keep having to correct you
  20. LA had a rest day yesteday so his old weary bones should be recovered, watch out for him. Radioshack have also got the team jersey back proving to be the better overall team so will be defending it
  21. Lance is good, but even i must admit to make up 33m he must be on something.
  22. Go Andy
  23. Fixed
