  1. Oh yes yes because obviously it was careless. Nice. One. It's like. I just left. My bike on the lawn with a sign "please steal me" . 🙄 No I definitely didn't take any precautions to try lock my bikes away whatsoever.
  2. He disagrees with the conclusion that PT has formed based on what PT has seen of the Derailleur thus far. And because he disagrees with PT's assessment then the only logical conclusion is that PT is talking k@k
  3. If one had to choose between taking after a long slow day or a short intense day. After which type of exercise would it be most beneficial to take a protein supplement?
  4. Hi guys. So just a quick one. I like to use Nutritech Premium Whey as a recovery supplement in my recovery regimen. I normally have it after my big long rides and don't usually bother with it after a short HIIT session. But I was wondering. When is the BEST time to use it? *should I use it after a big long slow ride. Like a 3 hour plus. *should I use it after a short ~1 hour HIIT session. I've also seen some online articles saying you should have protein before your ride. So I was just hoping for some input.
  5. This is just a rebranded Winspace Hyper. Look for 1st party winspace Hypers as it may or may not be cheaper. But either way its a good frameset and very popular.
  6. So I was with Cyclesure since 2016. But unfortunately they recently kicked me off as an undesirable. Unfortunately I hit a stroke of bad luck between 2019 and 2021. I lost 4 bikes and a wheelset totalling near enough 160K. 3 bikes and wheels to theft from the house and the last bike was getting hit by a car. We live in a very high risk area in Cresta close to Windsor and our landlord was VERY lax on security. So even though we did the best we could to lock up our garage and keep the bikes safe ultimately the perps were still gaining easy access to the complex grounds because of the lax security. So ultimately we bought our own place and moved to a safer complex and area. But I guess in their eyes it was too late as Cyclesure paid out the last claim and kicked me to the kurb. I'm now with naked. But after reading this thread I want to go through my Ts&Cs to make sure I am getting good cover. Anyone know what to look out for?
  7. Sorry this is off topic but do we need to have licenses and all that stuff to ride Rooiwal?
  8. To everyone that is saying "this guy must be scared/k@king his pants" or any variation of the above. I highly doubt he is scared or even cares. This much is already clear.
  9. I had a similar situation on Saturday when riding the cradle. I was on my MTB and had just gone through the lion circle heading towards the caves. I had to pass a group of cyclists that were being followed by a vehicle. A white panel van. Can't recall if it had any markings in it. But the group it was following was across the entire road to the point that I had to overtake in the oncoming lane. When I commented that they don't need to be across the entire road, a slew of insults and bad language was hurled in my general direction. I rode on thinking nothing if it. This attitude is becoming far more common in recent weeks. I look forward to seeing justice being done.
  10. You can see he went away with a gel or a bar, shoving it into his jersey. And it wasn't more than a second or two. So no nothing illegal.
  11. That is our rider Jayde Julius. He is not in ICU. He has some bruises and some road rash but other than thay he is intact. He finished the race although he was our hopeful for a win.
  12. it would be nice. I mean I know local distributors need to survive. But it's a bit hard to support local when something as basic as Ultegra hoods which are arguably a consumable because they are a grip/contact point and they wear out, aren't even available and my LBS has to special order them. I heard from a few shop owners that online shops that CRC and other popular online stores were selling their stuff at prices even cheaper than what LBSs were getting them from the distributor for. So obviously LBSs couldn't compete. But instead of just making it fair for LBSs by making prices more reasonable they just blocked online sales. It all sounds very anti competitive and just unfair on the consumer as we no longer have a choice on where we want to purchase from. And it's not just Shimano but looks to be SRAM group too as all the online stores I normally by from also have a note on checkout on rockshox that reads "due to legal restrictions cannot ship to your contry" or something along those lines. While I love cycling as a sport I am really getting sour when it comes to being a consumer in the cycling industry. On another topic. Anyone know where one can purchase a giant XTC advanced framset? Or if the Advanced 3 is coming into South Africa? (not the SL)
  13. no 2X stuff for SLX 7100/ XT 8100 or XTR9100. No R8000 hoods.
