  1. Anybody know anything about a mountain biker that was mugged for his bike near the Silvermine Dam over the weekend??? Just up from the dam on the Silvermine peaks loop just below the start of the first switchbacks on the jeep track.
  2. Excuse my complete ignorance - I managed to get onto the results stats page. But how do I get onto the official race results for 2024 for everyone ??? In the past it was available pretty soon after the race and there was a time where they sent you your time via sms.
  3. How many of you know that the speed limit on Chapmans Peak from south to north from Noordhoek beach to the top lookout point is 20km/h Seriaasly
  4. Lost a friend/acquaintance just over 2 weeks ago. Got bronchitis and died of a heart attack. In his fifties. Take it EASY when the lurgies pounce.
  5. DIAGNOSED ?????? (take ivermectin) (What is called swine flu today is not the same as the swine flu of 2009. It is related.)
  6. Cherry on top - SanParks gets money from PPA which is duly used for boardwalks for hiking none of it used for cycling. It does not get better. (Zebra - source - same as previous one) We have a beautiful land.
  7. Just when you think a route is safe.
  8. Eight years old ??? Take it easy on him please !!!
  9. The cycling lane from Muizenberg to Vishoek is called Boyes Drive - try it some time a lot safer.
  10. What do you expect when trail sections are named Cobra, Mamba, Boomslang, Rinkhals and Snake Eyes and a series of them known as The Snakes
  11. Just be aware that puffies are one of the top fastest strikers in the snake world - and at full tilt they are NOT slow either.
  12. Wonder if he accepted the lowball ??? Spirited yanker !!! (of chains)
  13. Hold it - hold it - hold it !!!! If I bought a bike from anyone and the tyre starts to leak after just three rides because of a plug that has not seated properly I would also be pissed off and expect the seller to do something about it. You buy a bike in good faith that it is in good working order and this bike was not albeit that it is just a tyre but bicycle tyres ARE expensive. Tyre with plug in = discount for sure. Give the guy a break
  14. Just for the heck of it - what is your reason for doing it on an e-bike ??
  15. WOW !!! Supplier says he sees this on a regular basis - I call BS !! Surely it must have made a fair amount of noise - would not happen to Avids they'll squeal like a pig in a jiffy. Must have been an interesting feeling - hope not on the downhill.
  16. While riding there will always be a question in the back of your mind !!!
  17. As mechanics who are riders are usually better so riders who are also a bit more of a mechanic too are also better. That way you become attune to your bike and can sort out issues before they become a problem. So Sandro time to get those hands dirty and if you get stuck or screw up there is always Droo (droo is always willing and loves a chat) It's not all that difficult though just a bit of common sense needed maybe.

    Gear glitch

    Nope you do it yourself - you are a cyclist.
  19. Has anyone checked the B screw on the rear derailleur - easily overlooked. AND make absolutely sure that all the derailleur parts are also straight and that the hanger is on the same plane as the rim. (small things massive issues skop skiet en donner issues) (If the arms on the derailleur are not straight you will have issues (not talking about the side plates))
  20. You need to ask admin for a comic sans button !!
