  1. i am glad you are ok.to all out there be vigilant as forewarned is forearmed.
  2. bang shoes together until all mud falls off.spray with hosepipe.use a nail to clean the cleat bolt where the alan key fits in.(it is a bitch to try and do repairs on the trail on the cleat if you cannot get the alan key in.)take innersoles out and soak in bath.fill shoes with newspaper(especially with pictures of politicians on) and leave to dry not in direct sunlight. alt jump in pool with shoes and hang on washing line.(after you have taken the shoes off) the creepy crawly will do the rest.
  3. stay away from this i would think.
  4. the cape town tickets were gone before i could book.(yip that is a fast labia).any idea if there will be another bite at the cherry for us here in cape town?
  5. my zodiac for today
  6. and here i thought i was having a bad day for riding through some dog**** this morning with the mtb .hope the day goes better
  7. Yes cheapest currently is going to work out at about R600 to rent with a dep of R2400 and then I still need to pay for transport from and back to jhb so not worth while.
  8. @Tmobile investigated the box but the box will be opened and closed quite a few times.dont know it the box will last as it will going on the back of a bakkie for some times.also the box dont fit in the bakkie as my mtb buddy also uses a box,so i guess it will have to be SW.
  9. i know a bike box is better , but for me to spend ballpark R 4000 for a once off trip is not worthwhile.
  10. i am looking for a bike bag to take my bike on a holiday.it will be a once off.between the hub ,;lbs,cape ads,scumtree etc the best i get so far is a new bike bag at SW at under R1000. even if i dont like them that much i might have to go and buy from them.
  11. I hope you and the others get your bike on time.Now suddenly the R720 to take my bike to tasmania does not seem such a lot and i know my mongoose arrives with me.
  12. good morning all fellow hubbers.i have the opportunity to go and ride my mtb and drink beer with a buddy in tasmania for 7 days.flying today in 2 months from ct to sydney to hobart where we will be based.has anyone done some mtb cycling over there.busy with google,but would like to hear from the well informed hubbers.after tasmania we are going to mtb further near mackay but that part is sorted out. we are cashing in some browny points with the families.
  13. i tried once without the kit.do not do it without the kit.
  14. so glad to see a story with a lekker ending here.glad you got your bike back.still searching for mine after 14 years,maybe because i still don't find my certificate.
  15. o no i am going to mosselbay this week.need to sent a pm now and hold thumbs.
  16. do they have an official refund policy on their website or is this just the owner making his yearly turnover?
  17. i agree with red zone on this.you cannot expext to get anything for free these days.
  18. that's a lot of climbing.congrats.
  19. my suggestion is to speak to the lawyers to give you a breakdown of how they arrive at that figure.ask for discount on their fees as i doubt they would give discount on their disbursements.
  20. currently sitting at R4.12/km and going down all the time.if i add the dr's fees after 2 serious falls and operations i am bankrupt.if i add the enjoyment of riding welvanpas,hillcrest,contermans,majik and delvera of the longweekend,i say move over bill gates.

    if you are still looking for your friend maybe he is still out there somewhere. big thumbs up to everyone who participated ,supported and organized this.
  22. shock werk sooooo lekker skoon vergeet van feedback vir wat dit werd is.omnico reggemaak en nie die bank gebreek nie.asof nuwe shock.het welvanpas die hele dag gister skrikgemaak.mtb ry is lekker.
  23. i was playing/panting the routes the long weekend.first time there and rode the blue and white routes.definately worth while to get out there.the coffee and fresh baked bread with honey went down well as did the windhoek after the ride.will be back with some friends.
  24. feel for you.this happens on many trails so i guess being inconsiderate/stupid is not restricted to a specific region.
