Sbloomer Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 So how long before the okes start asking about how shallow/deep sections they should ride? My tandem is already in Cape Town and we never even bothered taking the shallow wheels. 66/88 pappie!!!!There isn’t rain forecast. What is the relevance of shallow or deep?
Long Wheel Base Posted February 29, 2020 Author Posted February 29, 2020 There isn’t rain forecast. What is the relevance of shallow or deep?Riding deep sections in wind can be challenging at times.
eddy Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 As long as the weather is better than what we woke up to in Jo'burg this morning. Cape Town in July is warmer, drier and less windy...

eddy Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Sjoe it's cold and windy. Drizzling on and off at the airport at the moment.I really, really want to ride but just in case I have the Coronavirus I have decided to self isolate myself under the duvet for a bit. Self sacrificing to the nth degree....
Ashchest Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Sjoe it's cold and windy. Drizzling on and off at the airport at the moment. Wanted to go and do a very slow 40km ride this morning but I am rather going to stay inside with warm coffee ....
The Ouzo Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Sjoe it's cold and windy. Drizzling on and off at the airport at the moment.tell me about it.I was fully prepared to getup this am and take a ride, but the combination of the weather and that it was still dark at 6am I decided to not risk it.At some point I'm going to have to get some lights for the bike. Having not ridden in 2 weeks I'm getting really worried. Will try and get out there tomorrow morning, my weather app says there will be a brake in the weather.
FootballingCyclist Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 There isn’t rain forecast. What is the relevance of shallow or deep?Rain is never the issue regarding which wheels I ride with, However the cross winds on the Chappies descent and Llandudno descend can prove challenging. I ride the route literally every 2nd weekend and when the wind is howling, deep sections become tricky... Not phased about Carbon or Aluminum because there isn't too much/if any need for instant braking/dead stops in a race.
FootballingCyclist Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 They should move the Cycle Tour to the North.. I'm sitting in Brackenfell at a kids party, it's close to 30°C and light breeze only... Going to see if I can bag this weather and keep it closed and open it only next week Sunday.
Tiny K Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 & for me with my Savage tjoms done... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Md8oSWYP-pw9oekAKP_UJ3J1BpnY0astzyFXvKbR1lo/edit?usp=sharing
Boerklong Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 After this morning I know I will be able to survive at least 80km and 900m of climbing.
