Seems the shaking and snaking has been resolved, bike felt more stable under high speed braking this morning ... (Although I did not go hamfist on the brakes)

Headset bolt was not tight, undid the bolt, made sure the the all was moving freely, and retightened. Once the wheel is back from being trued, I'll reset the brakes.

There's a small "wobbly" spot on the rear wheel. Will have it looked at. My trueing skills leaves a lot to be desired...

Will try and remember thank you.

I'll monitor the issue after I now retightened the headset bolt. If it persists, I'll get the LBS and Distributor involved in the solution.

Checked, headset bolt seemed a bit loose. Loosened and retightened, I'll monitor on my next ride.

Both, but more rear, I'll check the headset.

Good day All This past week-end, on two separate road bike rides, I had instances where under hard braking from high speed, on downhill sections, where the bike shook / oscillated violently. This is the first time that I've experienced this and it is a scary experience, especially with traffic around you. Releasing the brakes resulted in the shaking / oscillating ceasing. The bike has rim brakes. What could be causing this? Thank you in advance Gerhard

Gates now open at 6am ...

Hi All With the "new" rules imposed by Oom Cyril, will the opening times of Suikerbosrand change? From a news article under its Parks section which deals with National and Provincial Parks: "Public parks that are allowed to open can only be accessed between 09:00 and 18:00..."

Good day All Any "Safe" routes around Tzaneen for a Roadie? Road out to Letsitele / Eiland?Agatha?Dam Loop? Thank you in Advance Gerhard

They've been having issues since the 22nd. And still not resolved.

I did the event. Drizzle the first 25km, and again the last 20km. Overall a pleasant day on the road.

Not looking good for tomorrow ...

Looking at this "App", no rain till about 10/11am.

What goodie bag ... Got Nadda. You get an envelope with your number and some cable ties. Nothing else ...

First batch start at 6:15, I’m Starting in BL @ 6:40 ... Their site does not give any information that I can see regarding the start time of each batch.

Race no, start time, etc received ... Really hope the prospects of it being a wet one changes ...

I'll be there, bright and early tomorrow morning.

Morning All I'm planning on a ride at Suikerbosrand tomorrow morning. It will be my 2nd ride there, so still a newbie to this wonderful route. My 1st ride there was a few weeks ago. After the rain and "storms" of this week, I'm wondering how much debris there might be on the road surface? Regards

I'm 189cm with 36" waist, and a bunch of kg's heavier and I have their Large, it's tight, but not too tight .... You don't want the bib to be loose fitting ...

For me that leads to dehydration and cramps ...

I have my Garmin set to "scream" at me every 15min during an activity as a reminder to drink something ... Eventually the body gets used to that drinking interval and you'll find that you beat the reminder to it ...
