Had 2 close calls riding between Muizenberg and Kalk Bay yesterday around 7h30, in both cases drivers opening doors whilst parked at the roadside, it was very busy yesterday, luckily I was riding slowly

had numerous issues with both Garmin and Wahoo HR straps, very happy with Polar H10 now

Looking at getting a spider based power meter for the MTB. Narrowed the choice down to the SIGEYI Axo and Power2Max Ngeco. Would appreciate comments from anyone about their experience with these units

If the guys are not happy with the selection criteria, what selection policy would you suggest ? these rules should not be subjective and should apply to everyone There are 5 spots and Greg got 1, there are 6 other riders how do you decide who gets to go ?

Just got the bike sorted yesterday, ridden it in the parking lot so far, going for a proper ride tomorrow.

Bought a 2020 Pyga Stage frame and transferred the components from my Specialized Epic hardtail - Rockshox SID World Cup 100mm fork. - Crank Brothers Highline XC 100mm dropper (27.2 mm, with a shim). - 11 speed XT drivetrain with 34T Csixx chainring - Mavic XA Elite Carbon wheels with Conti Race King tyres. - Specialized Power saddle - 12.5 kg

Looking for a Mavic ID360 Microspline free hub. Looks like there are no agents in SA and very hard to source online as well

Had ordered on Takealot but after almost 2 weeks of waiting eventually cancelled the order as I found the shim at Olympic Cycles

no worries, thanks mate

I’m in Edgemead

Looking for a seatpost shim 27.2 - 30.9, any suggestions as to which bike shops in Cape Town would have them ?

They will most likely replace with 12 speed cranks fitted with 11 speed chainrings if no stock is available

Even Vingegaard himself was surprised by the scale of his victory, telling reporters afterwards: "It was one of my best days on the bike ever, so good that at one point I even doubted my power metre, it was showing so high." "It was on the flat part of the course, I was holding back and thinking I wanted to do around 360 watts," he said. "However, I ended up doing 380 watts between the two climbs." "We made all the tests beforehand and it was clear for us that it was an advantage to change the bike for Tadej and not change the bike for Adam Yates, for example. It's an individual thing and it was clear from the beginning," Gianetti said. "We lost 10 seconds in the bike change, which we expected, but we lost another 1:30, too. So the difference today wasn't in the change of bike, the difference was in the power."
