Hi, does anyone know where I can buy a spoke tension meter (preferably in Cape Town). Thanks

Castelli sizing is suited more to Carapaz than Sagan. Sometimes going up a size just gets you a longer short but not necessarily wider.

It was an easy decision for me, I had a 2011 Cervelo R3 SL mechanical SRAM Red rim brake weighing 6.3kg. 'Upgrading' to a R65,000 Spez Tarmac SL6 DISC Ultegra mechanical was 8.3kg.

Why should we need to ride with support vehicles along that stretch. Isn't that what the police should be doing? Isn't that why I pay my f***ing taxes?

There is no way in the world I would pay R22k without waking away with the item but hey, he refunded you so....

Don't forget the government let out 19,000 prisoners from jail during lockdown. It takes a miracle to get them in jail in the first instance

My god, this is well out of hand now. I was going the same route right behind you guys. Only the crazy wind at the top of Chappies made me head back towards the calm of seapoint... and I always ride alone. These attacks seem to happen very early in the morning before the roads get too busy. We need to make a plan to hunt these guys down, we can't live like this.

I can't believe what's going on at the moment. So did they just crash into the back of you at speed?

OMG, hope you're all OK. This is getting out of hand.

Well done for posting

Great result

The hub is full of good news stories today. Well done to those involved

Pull the trigger once for first shot, pull again for second shot... then throw it away

I'm told it's extra strength and anywhere on the upper torso should do the trick. Apparently it shoots out for the first 2/3 metres and then starts to spread into a bit of a mist. Don't know, I haven't tested it.

I bought it from Blades and Triggers in Canal Walk. R700. Also, it's plastic so very very light.

I bought this thing that shoots pepper gel and fits nicely into your jersey or pocket. No batteries, no C02, it will fire 2 jets/sprays. Nice that it stays on your person if you get separated from your bike and then you can make the decision if you want to use it or not.

I struggled for 3 years. Saddle was too high. End of story

Bike jacked or stolen?

There are plenty of people who want the most expensive bike. If Spez didn't offer a 200k bike they would lose the sale to Pinarello. It's like trying to convince your wife that a R60 bag from Mr Price is the same as a R60k Gucci

I wouldn't recommend someone lightly but I went to see Dr John Thompson recently 0217126525, he is in Diep River. I have had back pain for 20 years and he has helped massively. Go there with an open mind because you will think he is crazy (I'm still not sure what he did). He is a qualified Chiropractor but he does nothing that you will recognise a Chiro/Physio/Osteopath doing.

The R200k S-Works is actually a claimed weight of 6.1kg. The Founders edition is 5.9kg but that will cost a staggering £13,000

The first photo of someone overtaking the 5.9kg bike up a climb wins a prize! Seriously though, it's a beautiful bike

You can buy longer valves, no need for extenders. No, you can't (or not recommended) run tubeless on non compatible wheels. I even tried putting a Schwalbe Pro One on a Ksyrium and couldn't even get it on the rim. Normal Stans will only hold air up to approx 40psi. Their Race Sealant is supposed to be better but I haven't tried it personally. I have read quite a few good reports about the Maxxis and Hitch. I use Schwalbe Pro Ones because they roll fast and are lighter than all the other tubeless tyres. I've also had no issues with them in over 15,000km

I personally like the Ciovita stuff, all I requested a few years ago were some brighter colours which they now have. I bought a couple of tops today but went to the store to try on.

Aeroad 7.26kg for £7700 or SL7 6.9kg for £10500
