  1. I've been connecting with a young gent, Atlehang, over the past couple of years. He was riding with a school, but is now 20 years old and looking for a mountain bike team to join. He's dedicated, passionate about bikes (he often sends me pics of his latest bike build), a "go-getter", and has lots of potential. Are there any mountain biking teams looking for a Development Rider? He's based in the Helderberg area, but can relocate. He's lived in Stellenbosch before too.

  11. As an avid MTB'er and business man I am looking at setting up two development teams with entries to 2015 Sani2c. I want to select 4 previously disadvantaged riders from the Soweto/Katlehong area, preferably guys that are looking at making riding a career or are top of their cycling clubs etc if they have one. The idea is simple, · Identify four individuals that suit the criteria · Organize sponsored bikes and gear · Setup a training program etc which will be either with myself or a professional · Pay for their entry into Sani2c(entries secured already) · Sponsor them getting down to Underberg and back from Scotties · Continue to develop them if it works to do Dusi2c etc etc With the above on the table I was wondering if anyone could lend any assistance in this regard, firstly to assist in identifying the individuals or pointing me in the direction of the person that could assist. Maybe to assist in obtaining the gear sponsorship and training programs/professionals. Any comments and suggestions would be great

  14. Please note that membership is R20 for juniors (born in 1996 and later) and R150 for seniors (born in 1995 and earlier). If a senior works they should not be joining PPA paying development fees but should be joining normally. If a senior is unemployed and cannot afford the membership fees the club will have to send a motivation as to why the person cannot pay. The above message was part of an email sent to all DEVELOPMENT CLUBS that PPA supports in terms of various rebates. This email contained an attachment that explains the criteria for 2014 -2015 season. Something is a miss in this shifting of the annual goal post strategy without any form of consultation and what I would like to gather are the opnions and thoughts from: "development club" members, from ordinary PPA mmembers (you dont belong to any club except the club" of PPA) and, from the cyclists that simiply dont subscribe to the PPA philosophy. When posting Please identify yourself as forming part of one of those 3 groups. This will form part of research to determine whether there are merits in continuing with the development club status as it is or whether CSA is maybe the better option to follow. Please bear in mind nothing is for FREE and PPA beenfits from having dvelopment clubs on their books. Let the dicussion begin....
  15. Hi Hubbers, We've been taking in feedback and have been working away on various Classifieds improvements over the last while. And we are just about ready to release a test version. This post is a quick preview of some of the updates. Required Fields Browsing adverts can be frustrating when you come across incomplete or just plain lazy listings with little useful info. We'll be introducing required fields to adverts to improve advert quality and create consistency in terms of the type of information provided. Fields are category specific so based on the category the advert is placed in you'd be presented with different additional fields to complete (e.g. a complete bike would have fields for the components with key component fields being required) Dynamic filters Some required fields are also used to filter ads. E.g. Wheel size, frame size, etc. We've had tons of feedback and requests for a frame size separation of sorts. This will provide the ability to filter the ads based on various attributes and will greatly improve the searching experience. Advert page The advert page itself has received a significant overhaul. Images are now front and center and easier to quickly browse in a larger view with fullscreen available. The page also now accommodates a table type layout for the required fields. Fields layout Advert listings The advert listing pages have also had a more subtle revamp. Larger thumbnail images give a better idea of the item before opening the advert. Trader Feedback The whole trader feedback section and rating display have been improved. Among other general improvements you can now easily search for a specific members profile to view feedback and ratings. The display of ratings in adverts has also been improved. Instead of displaying a count of positive ratings the in-advert rating now indicates how many ratings the user has and the percentage of those which are positive. This gives a more meaningful view of the specific user's feedback profile and credibility. We're excited to get these updates out. First for some testing and then live on the site. In the next week we should have a test site up and will invite regular Classifieds users to give it a test run before we roll it out live. Watch this space for updates. *Note the elements shown in the screenshots may still receive some design tweaks before final rollout
  16. Hi Hubbers, Buyer / seller ratings has been a topic of a fair bit of discussion over the past few weeks. Along with a number of general updates to the Classifieds system we've recently been working through updates to the Trader ratings system. Currently it is quite an obscure feature that's not as well used as it could and should be. The issues (based on feedback and observation): - Ratings are not well presented on advert pages (many don't even know they are there) - Ratings are hidden away on member profiles and easily confused with likes - There is no requirement or prompt to complete ratings following a deal - The current rating score is ambiguous - Members with negative ratings simply create new profiles and start over ... and please add to this list Here is what has been addressed in pending update so far: - Change to the display and calculation of summarized rating score Currently the overall rating score is shown as either positive (green thumbs up), neutral (blue dot) or negative (red thumbs down). Along with the icon indicator a numerical rating score is displayed which is the net balance of your positive and negative ratings. E.g. If you have 10 positive and 2 negative the score of 8 is displayed (10 - 2 = 8). Likewise if you had 1 positive and 5 negative a rating of -4 is displayed ( 1 - 5 = -4) This has been changed to match the proven system used by eBay and many others. Now the summary will display the percentage of positive feedback along with total number of ratings received which provides a better gauge of how meaningful the rating is. Using the same examples as before this would work as follows: - 10 positive, 2 negative: 12 ratings, 83.3% positive - 1 positive, 5 negative: 6 ratings, 16.7% positive The above gives more meaning and insight than the current "net" score. E.g. currently someone with 12 positive and 10 negative ratings would still have a positive (+2) rating (green thumb up) which does not give the full picture. The net score may be positive, but only 54.5% of a total of 22 ratings were positive. - More emphasis on Trader Ratings on the advert page Instead of the current icon indicator which appears below the advertisers username there will now be a clearly marked "Trader Rating" area on the advert pages providing enough detail at a glance with a quick link to their full trader profile with all feedback. - Improvements to the Trader Ratings section: General cleanup of the layout to improve navigation and usability. More information on how the ratings work and why it's important (to encourage newbies to use the feature). New feature to search for a rating profile for any member. Quick links to add feedback - Include trader rating on members main profile page (not hidden on the Classifieds tab) What else is in the pipeline? - Automatic prompts to add feedback following a deal - Ability to request feedback from a member you've transacted with providing a quick link for them to easily add feedback for you - Active checks on new / duplicate profiles to restrict negatively rated traders from creating new profiles Any feedback, comments and suggestions are welcome. Please note: the Trader ratings updates form part of a broader set of classified updates which will be discussed separately later this month. Thanks, Matt
