    This is why I keep coming back to this bloody website 🤣

    I have been getting back into the sport after 2 kids and bought this in December. Great advice. Been all over Tokai and up the Mast with it... Great buy and Gear Change folks are the best!

    Gemsbok/Eland looks pretty dangerous in Banhoek Conservancy

    Almost traffic free sounds perfect. Had a near miss with a Double Flatbed on Constantia Main and also a massive Grow Truck on Southern Cross.

    I have recently moved to Tokai and started riding the different trails / routes in the area. I want to try Tokai to Newlands Forrest via Constantia Nek. Any advice or route maps for which route to ride and be safe would be very much appreciated. My biggest concern is the route back from Newlands Forrest to Tokai. Was considering up Rhodes drive and then down Diep River trail.

    In fact the Apple Watch is currently the benchmark for wrist-based devices, at least between all of the main stream devices that we have measured The goal was to measure the accuracy of various wrist-worn optical heart rate monitors Nothing beats a Garmin and a HR Strap though

    The wind this year was gnarly!

    As somebody who once cycled a lot around melkbos, people use to call me a pedalphile

    As indicated in my first Post, shipping is with Dawn Wing on this mess up. Also if you are shipping with SAPO please inform your customers up front and give them a choice.

    Support the up and coming smaller guys that will move heaven and earth for your business even if they are a bit more expensive. When we encounter someone unprofessional or providing a bad service, hold them accountable and encourage training and development of their staff.

    I sent a polite email about having a conversation.

    Check the unemployment rate - https://www.fin24.com/Economy/just-in-sa-unemployment-rate-jumps-to-29-the-worst-since-2008-20190730 I am no longer a customer of CWC because of this.

    Thanks for the heads up!

    I am going to stay away from Shimano and going to fetch these a bit later - https://www.evobikes.co.za/components/mtb-pedals/dmr-vaults-pedals-sandblast.html My pedal bill is now R5000 in 2 weeks because of this nonsense.

    I believe that the threading for one of the spikes was not drilled properly from manufacturing process so when I tried to very carefully replace all the spikes with a bigger one, it when in at an angle and then I tried to use pliers to get it in. All spikes went in fine except this one. It is a tough call but risk and no replacement has been pushed back onto me.

    On the 10/8/19 I left my brand new Shimano Saint pedals at CWC for a warranty replacement. Shane the warranty and claims lady explained to me that they needed to be sent to JHB. 3 days later I followed up and was told that the pedals would be shipped back for collection at CWC. It is now 23/8/19 and my bike cannot be ridden because it does not have pedals. I have had to repeatedly phone and follow up about my pedals every 3 days. I am tired of being told Shane is busy with a customer and would I like to leave a message and then not hearing anything from her. I have been given different stories about waiting times and Dawn Wing has now been thrown under the bus by Shane today saying that there has been a mix up with the deliveries. Things do go wrong but I expect to be kept up to date with phone calls, sms or email and clarification given by a customer facing employee. Shane has shown she needs training and she does not know how to do her job as a customer service person. I hope that CWC will provide the correct training to their employees and also note these instances in their performance reviews! This is absolutely the last time I buy anything from CWC.

    A 90K go kart is also a possibility! Small investment if we can move to Monaco one day

    I saw such a small boy at the park yesterday on a tiny pedal bike. He was ripping it up with a proper kids MTB helmet on his tiny head. Looks like anything is possible.

    My son is two weeks old and I am keen to get some advice. I want to find out when he can start riding and what the best options are for his development. Balance bike vs other options? I want to get him a carbon frame and 140mm travel on the front as his first bike but that is me just being me. What are your experiences as a parent and how can you best advise me?

    Don’t put the wrong pedal in the drive side crank and then try and force it to screw in at an angle thinking that any pedal can fit in any hole.
