Lip ice at an angle across the tops of my eyebrows. Sweat runs along the lip ice line and down the side of my face. I also use a Bufff. Both great options.

I popped a rotator cuff in a fall once. Had to have the shoulder repaired. Off the bike for a while. Shoulder is now as good as new. Just listen to the doctors advice and do the physio thing. Don't rush it.You do not want on going problems .

I did it, no problems . Since you so far behind you may have to re input your personal data as I am sure I lost mine during one of the upgrades.Not on this upgrade though.

With a tandem rear wheel?

The strike stuffed things around. Hope things go back to normal soon .

You inbox is going to get full. I am sure the guys will appreciate your assistance.

I believe around Villiers road and 6th avenue Walmer.

Just got the call, my goods are at the post office.7 days from OR tambo customs to PE. Gives a new meaning to snail mail. Anyone else got their kit?

011 961 6200/6000 or 0860 11 502 . I seem to get best response 011 961 6000. They say the delay can be up to 3 weeks.

Politics at it's best. . Why can't we put our egos in our pockets and let our best athletes get on with the job. F%@&K this red tape pisses me off.

It may be so but read their reasoning, they are being charged 9% for the on-line transaction. They are being transparent up front. They could have up the fees by another 10% and kept quiet. Rather this way than paying an extra 10%.

I just spoke with him. He has found a partner. He is looking at a 10 h30.

I have a friend looking for a team mate. He is strong.

I think that the guys who did it this year are TRUE ironman. SA has never had it so hard. I believe St George was even more difficult.

We only use a cyclist as a driver. The teams with wives and mothers and fathers doing the support create chaos. Tankman's advice is best.

I saw that, it was a great deal.

No it is not the norm. Customs are on strike , I think only at OR Tambo, thus the huge delay in posted goods. There is a thread which covers all the duties applied. Most bike spares are 0% plus vat. I recently brought in a light 1000 lumens , it cost me, this is from memory, R 30 admin and R 63 vat and R 450 for light .Total cost R 543. If you get a light locally for R 1000 then you have a good deal.

Shock and amazement , I have just got an e mail informing me that my goods have been cleared at customs and are on the way. Duty also seems correct. :clap: :clap:

My package from overseas has been lying with customs since 23 April. Almost daily e mails and phone calls are to no avail. This morning , after trying for an hour, I am eventually told that the customs will only start processing the paper work today, Oh and there is no guarantee that they will process my paper work this week,as there is a huge back log.They have been working with a skeleton staff as the casuals are all on strike. So those of you who have got your parts over the last few weeks have been the luck ones. I wonder what weird import tariffs they going to apply? 10 days to arrive in South Africa,25 days and counting to clear customs?

How many millicandela in 1 lumen/steradian? The answer is 1000. Google is your friend.

I can see it working. A different one for each major event. Perhaps add a medical tag that one can reflect your medical aid details. Should be popular with the youngsters.

Enjoy the Freedom challange

I hope you have entered as the entries are filling fast.

Importing stuff is normally a breeze. Customs is on strike so who know what is going to happen.Like any Government department ,the ments do not want to work. :cursing: :cursing:
