    Does anybody know the distance of the race entered for 97km heard the revised route is 103km received an e mail for 47.6 and 28km Ractec cannot give a contact no of a person to contact... even after I explained that we will be travelling from Bloemfontein, and would like to know before we leave, as it will not be worth it to travel for such short race... ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Midvaal Fast One Cycle Challenge <noreply@racetec.co.za> Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2023, 09:13 Subject: REF: 169049 Midvaal Fast One Cycle Challenge Start Times Update To: Dear Please note that the revised start times for the 47.6km and 28km routes.

    I am using a 32/11 cassette on my Ultegra R8000 mechanical groupset with a normal cage (not a long cage) rear derailleur without any issues. Just adjust the B screw. In my case it was not even needed to replace the B screw with a longer one. The same setup also worked with 105 (5800 series) on one of my previous bikes.

    Did anybody yet had a successful insurance claim from the cover that is included on the CSA membership fees ..... Does it cover damage on your bike as well or only medical cost?

    is their monopoly - so they make the rules
  6. Mongoose!
    Does the same apply to disc brake cleaner? Muc off price vs Midas inhouse brand price ... vs mild soap water
  7. Mongoose!
    so basically everyone except Coolheat 🙃
  8. Mongoose!
    Foil or Addict?
  9. Mongoose!
    Just because a few first world YouTube'rs recon prices will drop due to an oversupply, does not necessarily mean Coolheat ; Cape cycle systems and the rest of our monopoly suppliers will allow it here... But it can have an effect on offshore online purchases maybe....after duties and double VAT in some cases.

    a R40k frame will be an overkill then 😜
  11. Mongoose!
    be careful not to look only at a name Shimano makes good components ..... but the low end of their range (typically found on Macro / Game specials) is maar k@#$k 🙃
  12. Mongoose!
    Before you buy...go to the return section at your Makro and go look if people returning these bikes. At our local Makro the return point in store is also the temporary storage for return goods. Besides Defy appliances there's always a lot of Raleigh bikes . As always, remember to keep your slip
  13. Mongoose!
    with links it will be banned like the previous very similar thread ....

    Will CSA take any action against him? He did represent the country on international level?
  15. Mongoose!

  16. Mongoose!
    just look him in the eye and calmly say - yes...because only ugly chicks go out with boxes like you tjom

  20. Mongoose!
  21. Mongoose!
    Hopefully there will be refund option, if you are not able to do it on the new date😎
  22. Mongoose!
    So is this "Metro bill" still payable? / or paid already? Refundable because it did not happen?
  23. Mongoose!
    .
  24. Mongoose!
    When I started to cycle (many years ago) we had a race every Saturday. Schools / churches local businesses hosted events for marketing purposes or fund raising. Entries were cheap and bike shops had a table with entry forms at their entrances. And then all of the sudden something changed. A new partner joined the party... Now it was not that easy / cost effective to host a small event. Enforced by "law" - and all sports received such "partner" / aka governing body - saw it in tennis as well... So this thread is 4 pages long and not one finger to C S A yet ? 😛

    sadly, I agree with you
