BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE THE AD AND IT ISN'T MARKED AS SOLD!!! Yes there will be the exception where someone sells something and forgets to mark it as sold, but let's operate on status quo, not exception. Also, if they're not interested, why did they waste your time by saying is it available to start with? It grinds my gears! Rant off.

Re: route and marking... share the GPX file of the route before or even on the morning of the event (easily done with a QR code) so that people don't have the excuse of "poor marking". Most people have the tech these days, why not embrace it.

I'd rather pay a little more with the comfort of knowing I only have to buy once in my life. Ardendorff has a place, but when it comes to a precision tool like a torque wrench it's worth investing in better quality.

Teng tools! I can supply at the best price 😃

glad you got away relatively unscathed, sounds super brazen😤 99% chance that scum comes from Ebor road (parallel to Main road in the pic). My father owner a workshop in that street and it’s another world… drugs, prostitutes and generally unsavory characters going up and down. The Uli Heigt butchery building is basically a brick squatter camp. Glad I never have to go there again.

People with OCD who like the clean finished look of a cap and worry about a tiny spec of dirt getting into the valve causing it to not seal perfectly🥴

No valve caps... gotta be a gram or two saving there!

How narrow? Wide enough for there to still be 1m between your car and the cyclists when you pass them?

Has anyone else noticed the increase in reckless driving by minibus taxis between Bakoven and Suikerbossie during the week lately? Either there is an increase in the number of taxis on that route and they're just driving like taxis or the few that have always run that route are just driving more recklessly which is why they are standing out. I have seen 3 very near misses (with cars when overtaking irresponsibly and bikes when they wander into the yellow line) in the last couple weeks.

Just to clarify… are you referring to the bus stop before turning left into Queens Road just after Strolla?

Regarding the device, have a look at the Garmin Edge Explore 2. Its bigger than the 500 & 800 series and only marginally smaller than the 1000 series. It has most of the features of the rest of the Edge series with the exception of mtb dynamics and some of the advanced training features (interval workouts, stamina and daily suggested workouts) as its focus is on navigating. The problem is it doesn't appear to be available in SA. If you know someone traveling from the UK that could bring one home for you, you can get one for GBP220. Re nutrition, agree with Dappere, but I find Cadence marathon does't agree with my stomach (that's a me issue, not Cadence).

In this case, if they have guns, why are they chucking bricks? On the balance of probability, I'd take the chance I think

Well complacency certainly isn't going to change anything and I have little faith in the authorities! I'm free tomorrow morning🤷‍♂️
