  1. Seems like i will be hanging on to it for the foreseeable future. No worries then.
  2. Only if they are on discount
  3. CWC, i bought the last TacX flow smart in your Willowbridge store on 23 March, however i would like a direct drive trainer (Tacx Flux S). Hope there will be available on this sale AND how do i return the one i bought (what if it falls out of the 30day exchange window due to lockdown)?
  4. The Wimpy deals are not valid for takeaways anymore - so says Tygervalley at least. Can anyone else confirm? A bit of a joke really. Edit: Momentum replied to me to say that the beverages may be taken as a take-away. Seems not everyone received the memo though.
  5. Somewhere in an office in Momentum the following conversation happened: Boss: So we are launching a new product, Multiply, that is going to work with an app. IT: Great but the app isn't ready. B: No problem. People will love it anyway. Also, by the way, we are also launching Multiply Money, a product integral to the Multiply offering. IT: Should we integrate it with the new Multiply App? B: Well, of course not, create another App called Multiply Money, people will love it. IT: Sure. Right away. When is it launching. B: We already launched it. But wait, we also just lost Takealot, lets increase our benefits to now include coffee vouchers based on active days being reached. IT: Nice, from where? B: Why, the first name that comes up when you mention great coffee of course, Wimpy. People will love it. IT: Oh, how do people access these benefits. Should we integrate it with one of our two apps already running? B: Of course not, lets only let them access it from the website. People will love it. IT: People are now using their benefits, what should we do? B: Well wipe all the links to the only mechanisms that allow you to accrue the benefits, linked devices, and call it an upgrade. People love upgrades. IT: Well, people are re-linking their devices, what now? B: Its so obvious, crash the site and tell people to try again later. They will love it. Good job everyone.
  6. Anyone use their Wimpy voucher today? When i eventually tried to use it, it seems to not be on the page anymore. Edit: ignore, seems to have been resolved
  7. Its a pity. The hoax price made more sense than the actual.
  8. My previous order with CRC. Paid delivery. Aramex fee - R57.50. 8 Nov - order placed 18 Nov - clearance invoice received 21 Nov - package delivered to my door
  9. My CRC & Skynet experience: 20 Nov - order placed 25 Nov - clearance invoice received 28 Nov - package delivered to my door Skynet fee for clearance - R230 I did not pay for delivery.
  10. Ag no Momentum. That's a massive FAIL. I wonder if Discovery flexed their muscles and/or Takealot decided they don't need Momentum anymore. Multiply's value proposition is steadily diminishing. Their VA gym benefits are already way below that of Discovery.
  11. I mailed Jo at PPA about CTCT MTB 2020. The reply was that it is scheduled for April and they are busy confirming the venue and final date. Update: event scheduled for Feb
  12. Same here. VdV was a terrible venue. Good call PPA!
  13. Received official reply: Yes the 110km will count for seeding.
  14. Mailed them on 30th. Still awaiting a response...
  15. I see on the event page that it is a CTCT seeding event. Anyone know if it is for the 160km only? Asking for a friend riding the 110km.
  16. Beaut of a bike. Congrats.
  17. Will there now be a "dibs" button?
  18. That is really sad. All the time and effort that goes into planning and running the event for a turn out like that hardly seems worth it.
  19. Ended up starting in M-O with a buddy. Dodged a horse crossing the road, an empty tin of Score bouncing through the bunch and swerved for a falling rider. Didnt exceed my normal average speed but got through safe and shared a great time with a buddy. Will be back next year.
  20. Great. Looking forward to it!
  21. First time at this event. When you say "fast", how fast do you mean? If i say average 30kmph normally at CTCT, should i be aiming for 10% faster average speed at this event? 20%?
  22. This will be my first full one tonner. Looking forward to it and just aiming to finish. Just a question: do you approach the longer distance any different to say the 100km? I don't normally stop at water points on a 100km road ride unless it is hot. Do you find that you rather stop more frequently over the longer distance or more frequently towards the end? For the 100miler i stopped very briefly at every waterpoint. Edit: typo
  23. Quite an interesting solution mentioned by the OP: https://redshiftsports.com/shockstop-suspension-stem Anyone with some experience with these?
  24. I have fitted my last 2 pairs of grips easily by using the cable tie method. Worked perfectly. No spray or compressor required. Just make sure that the rough side of the tie faces towards the bar and pull the tie out slowly.
  25. First time at this event. Initially was in for the 100miler but not knowing the route/area i changed to the 60 instead. Found the distance and elevation to be just right for me. The waterpoints were great with a decent spread and well stocked. The hot chocolate at the first waterpoint was a treat as at that point my fingers were burning from the cold (i washed my long finger gloves a few days before the event but when kitting up on the day i realized they were beautifully clean and fresh, still at home!). The route for the most part was beautiful. There is just something special to me about riding through farmlands on crisp cool mornings. The sun coming up over the mountains, beams shining through the clouds and onto the fields, cattle and sheep in the distance. It was simply heaven. I found the gravel sections to be in a rather good condition over all. I did notice there were a number of gravel bikes punctured over the first couple of gravel km's though. Crossing the river on the ferry was a fun experience. Thanks to the organisers and volunteers. Also thanks for the free bike wash at the finish area. That was a great idea and a very welcome service. Spending the weekend in Swellendam was also a great outing for the family. It is a gorgeous town and we will be back.
