  1. Yes I used Cliff about 18months ago Work was done great. Don't know about the move but if he quoted you he is probably still around He does alot of stuff for the Jhb bikeshops
  2. Had a run in with "Charles Bowen"last week as well. He was selling coffee machine. Same stories and when i said i would rather collect on my own that is when the swearing started...
  3. Is the half like teeing off from the ladies tee and making the green in regulation? Ps its only a little banter
  4. To be honest, the race isnt nearly what it used to be. Since the big brand sponsors left there wasnt much left interms of organizing and "class" to the race. I mean some " Kerk basaar" races attract more people. Sad but it is a reality. Before breedtsnek there was the monster climb which got cyclist here. Now there is just "gras polle" left. RIP Magalies Monster
  5. You would be loosing the bet as hae had this discussion with my LBS and you are more tn welcome to contact him. CYCLEZONE. Sometimes he give me a price which is 5 or so percent more and i buy from him. Sometimes he tells me buy from x y or z. Then he fits and charge me. I also buy all my kids(3 and 😎 bikes and parts from him. Dont walk into Game and makro for them. Never once did i negotiate a price on that. But a 10k cassette or 15k wheelset, or a 20 fox fork. Yes i walk i with a price and give him the opportunity to make some money even if its less than what he wuld normally do. If i just buy it over the internet then he makes no money. So you saying i dont support him but completely disagree and he will to as he always gets the opertunity. I do hear what you are saying ad it might be true in loads of instances but not when it comes to my relationship with my LBS
  6. By pricematch i give them the opportunity to know what they are up againts. If i buy from the i am supporting them. They dont have to give it you me they are welcome to walk away. Sometimes they do someimes they dont. If the money goes in their till its supporting them. No business man just match a price and walk out with no profit
  7. Do you perhaps have some contact details
  8. Well i have a good relationship with my lbs but he knows he has to give me the best possible price when i walk in. He nows that if it is alot cheaper elsewhere i will buy it there. I recently gat a cassette and chain from CL(not pricematch just on special) and service was good and speedy delivery. But i will rather use pricematch from my LBs and support him that going to pricematch from CL.

  17. Where would one find this
  18. By more hiking friendly you mean you push your bike up the hills? Sorry just joking.
  19. The lower your HRV the more stress is on the body. Dont think about that stess as only what you do in training. There are plenty of other stresses it acounts for psychologic stess, digestive stress and so on. Each persons HRV is unique to him and you cant really compare numbers with other people. 28 days of measurements will be a good starting point to see what trend are forming with your training.
  20. Is the route the same as Mica 2 Provinces from this year?
  21. Truly a lekke race with a bit of everything, singletrack, some sand, loose rocks, gravel roads and some climbing.
  22. See the profile on the website don't look to bad
  23. When will the route map be available? thank
  24. Did my first Marathon on Saturday and have to say I feel very chuffed having come in at 4:43. Managed the route well but got to say the downhill's are to technical for my current skills and will have to work on that as they had me killed. Its a good challenge. Will be better prepared next yeaR
  25. Is there anywhere where one can see what bunch you will start in or do you have to wait to see at registration.
