  1. Ja it's a sad affair hey... Well, I try and get my a$$ to the coast as often as I can... love riding my bike at the coast and also to hit a wave every now and again
  2. Thanks so much for the info... I'll definitely do this
  3. Thanks Blokman, Grootbrak is pretty much right next to Tergniet, so wouldn't be a problem at all for me to get there for the rides. Let's see what gets mentioned on here, but I'll definitely appreciate some pointers on routes. Thanks
  4. Hi all, Just putting my fingers out there to find out if there are any groups (road and/or MTB) riding around the Mosselbay, specifically Tergniet area. I'll be in the area from 26-30 April and was looking to hook up for some rides. Cheers
  5. When lock down happened, I also started scouting out for online cycling apps... I used pretty much all of the free trials offered by Rouvy, Sufferfest, Zwift, etc etc... Found RGT and it was superb, I also Liked their Facebook pages (RGT Users and RGT Events) where all the users discussed their issues and experiences and the events page where people advertised their group rides. Friendly bunch of guys all around and replies to issues quick quick. Needless to say I'm still using the app and met some great folks all around the world as we started with a standard Wednesday morning group ride... Guys from UK, Spain, Australia, Netherlands, Switzerland all join up each Wednesday... we chat a bit on the mobile app... then full tilt. I love this app, not only for the very realistic riding, but also the great cycling community using it. This app to me is more focused on the riding/cycling experience and the realism thereof, where Zwift (which you get free 25km to ride every now and again if you are not a subscriber) is more a game type platform with power ups and all sorts of funny stuff. Just my 2c
  6. The blue lever on my Tacx resistance mechanism broke also. I just took a strong self tapered screw, screwed it into the base of the blue lever where it broke, and voila. Onward and upward :-)
  7. Ja, I'll be there... Looking forward to my first one
  8. Watching this topic with huge interest to see if CWC will again offer some specials... need some stuff man!!!!!
  9. Best advise on replacing a spoke!! Never only replace the broken spoke and think you can just tension that one spoke and be done with it. You will end up over tensioning the spoke and pull the opposite side spokes too. The spokes will start to go one after the other, damaging the nipple holes until you can say bye bye to the entire rim. Loosen ALL spokes and "re-build" the wheel... best bet! Of course you can learn to do this yourself, but it takes A LOT of learning, research and practice
  10. Seriously!!! Dis awesome nuus!
  11. Only ever experience I had with them is receiving a SHOCKING quote... and that was that. Even being an existing customer of Outsurance, when I wanted to add my bike it was a very loud and clear NO
  12. Thank you to all involved at the Gauteng Track Champs this past weekend! This event was really well organised with some great and exciting racing, even with a few records being smashed. The amount of young generation participating also shows a great future for the sport! Well done to all who raced, and became Gauteng champs!
  13. I have a feeling that this may be the new venue. Question is, where will the start and finish be? I know there was made mention of this might change
  14. I think the whole printing of numbers to try and save on expenses proved not to have worked well last year, given the fact that the queues were out the door waiting for numbers to print.
  15. Geez now that you mention it, I remember that... couple of near falls in our bunch as well. Even the road marshals didn't have a clue on which side of the road we are actually meant to be on... chaos
