  1. Yesterday I saw a guy driving a Ferrari that wasn't an F1 driver
  2. Don't get a HT, you will only waste money when you end up selling it to but a DS. You can thank me later
  3. It was here but it was not there on Sunday
  4. Did it almost sound like the engine was going to blow up? Very loud but not a like a loud exhaust?
  5. Rebranded basic Chinese wheels. For that price I would go for Farsports. IMO better and lighter with better hubs
  6. He probably stole the photos from here to create a fake advert? https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/road-bikes/806620/merida-reacto-6000-full-carbon-12-speed-di2
  7. There's nothing more satisfying than seeing a huge coach coming down Chappies, towards Noordhoek, doing 15km/h with 35 cars all backed up behind it. Funnily enough I never hear them screaming and honking
  8. On the flip side of cyclists riding 3 abreast up Chappies we have Navy employees caught on video almost killing a guy and he got off with a slap on the wrist...maybe the judge hates cyclists?
  9. I think I worded it very well actually. Cyclists will be viewed as a collective. A person driving from Noordhoek to Sea Point may pass 300 cyclists. On the last stretch he will be faced with 3 chops blocking the whole road... The guy is sitting there thinking I bloody hate cyclists. He's not thinking the other 297 are amazing but these 3 are chops. Collective
  10. On any given day thie scenario I wrote about exists and that is why there is such a negative attitude towards cyclists. Don't get defensive, I didn't single anyone out. I'm not talking about anyone specific, if you ride that route often you can see for yourself
  11. I said, 'as a collective'.
  12. Unfortunately all the disgusting comments from members of the public on social media are fueled from our collective behaviour on the roads... and they are 100% correct. We are HORRIBLE road users. Cyclists are riding 2 or 3 abreast nearly every morning between Sea Point and Camps Bay. Unbelievably they don't even look behind for their own safety. The 3 abreast continues all the way up to Suikerbossie. When it gets to Chappies we're now 4 abreast. We don't stop at Stop streets or traffic lights. When a car hoots it's then full on shouting and swearing. We are our own worst enemy.
  13. With your size of box it is R450 each way with zero insurance, R700 with only R10k insurance
  14. I'm insulted that you think I would send wheels with tyres on!
  15. I was getting quotes of > R1200 each way
  16. I think @nick_the_wheelbuilder should do a mass monthly pickup in CPT! It's so expensive to send one pair of wheels back and forth
  17. What are these photos showing? I can see the crack in the saddle but that's it
  18. WTF! Apart from the stab wounds it looks like a car hit you
  19. Mine took 2 months to arrive.
  20. Sorry, not at all like counting cards at a casino. Every single race contains a huge majority of people who absolutely refuse to do any work at the front, probably because they are unable to. You're unfairly picking out this one female rider. Any one of the 300 people in that batch had the chance to hang on the their wheel.
  21. 80 to 90% of riders, male and female don't put their nose in the wind at all so not sure why the strong feelings towards a couple of the females. They still got to the top of Edinburgh and Smits and Chappies and Suikers with the group.
  22. I was trying to enter a few weeks before the start but had no reply to my emails or to phone number??
  23. Dick cyclist but funny how that poor woman with her young child aboard hit that accelerator hard!
