  1. My entire 3 minutes of racing was great fun! Thanks to the immediate response of whoever was on the sidelines and the medical team for taking me back to the medics tent and patching me up. New Helmet day soon I suppose
  2. Crazy how he is still using this email address.... I saw it for what it was the second he sent the below mails. I then searched his email a few days later (today) and found this thread: message received: (you can see the copy paste he uses on lots of items, he doesn't mention "bike" once" I am really interested in buying this for my cousin as a surprise for him only if you can assure me that everything is in order, I am a petroleum engineer currently on a rig offshore. I want this to be a surprise for my cousin so I won't let him know anything about this until it gets delivered to him, I am sure he will be more than happy with it. It will be secured paying via Neteller as I'm on a rig offshore. So let me know if you have an account with Neteller so I can make the payment asap. Note well: Pick up agent will come for the pickup as soon as I have made the payment. THEN IT GETS EVEN BETTER!! Thanks for the email but I need to inform you about this, I got a message from the pick up agent, am most sure I include that in my previous emails, he said he wouldn't be able to come for the pickup unless I pay him the agent commission fee via shop-rite first in order to be able to schedule a pick up time, I would have loved to pay him directly via shop-rite but there is no way I can pay online! So I have to ask you to help me with the pickup fees, I will include the R1,850 he has charged me to pick up the item with a (1st class treatment), to the payment I will be sending to your Neteller account, so after I have made the payment I will need you to help me send the R1,850 to the pick up agent through Shop-rite.I will send total payment of R19,900 into your Neteller account, which means R18,000 for the Item while R1,850 for the Pick-Up fee and the remaining R50 will be for the Shop-rite charges for sending the fund to the agent is that clear to you? I will make the payment as soon as you agree to help me with this. Kind Regards.
  3. 25C Continental Gatorskin clincher tyres please
  4. Depends what you want. GCN (Global Cycling Network) on YouTube has a good video to watch, only a few minutes. I needed one ASAP and will limited cash so I went for the Stages as it was available. Picked up the Dura Ace Model for 7k. It only measures left hand side power (then multiplies by 2) thus assuming an equal balance and whenever I give the bike a thorough wash it freaks out and I have to change the battery - even with using a packet or insulation tape. But it has been my most effective piece of training equipment as I can use it on m R800 IDT as well as on the road. Looking back if I had to change I would get one in the spider as it gives a left/right balance (Think its the sram quark [spelling]). and you have it if you change wheels, which ruled out a hub power meter. Good luck, you will only realise how amazing training with power is when you try it!
  5. Great thanks so much guys!!! Think I will be sorted with all this. Looking forward to that CPT Atlantic Seaboard views!
  6. Hi Hubbers I am in Cape Town very briefly in December (17-20) before heading to Plett for training. I am looking for 2 things: 1) A nice long group ride on the morning of Sunday the 18th. I normally ride at a club ride 'A' level. 2) A good long stretch where I can do good 10 minute interval sessions during the week. I am staying in Green Point but am happy to drive somewhere if need be. If anybody can reccomend a group ride and a place to do these intervals please let me know Thanks
  7. what doe sit mean if it says 403 - access denied? only happening with one product
  8. They are proper beautiful. The red would match my bike amazingly. Unfortunately mine came with a black one. But luckile nobody sees the saddle when they come flying past me
  9. Never really had a love or any feeling towards saddles until I got a Fizik Arione. Never thought I would ever change saddles. But the bike I just bought comes with the Power and reading this thread has put my mind at ease. May report back here after I have ridden it after finding time to slip in a bike setup, just been really busy. Looking forward
  10. Steal on these http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/cwc-elite-bib-short-pink
  11. I would recommend contacting Tanya@vwe.co.za. Her husband, Marten brings in track bikes and runs the VWE track academy. Can hook you up with a good bike most likely
  12. Amazing! Getting me more excited to race in Israel at next year's Maccabiah Games!
  13. Strava seems to make errors often. There is a segment by my house I wanted to KOM. So I checked the average speed of the current KOM - 28kmh. So I blitsed it up the hill, started off at 32kmh and never dropped below 26 kmh. Strava comes back saying I averaged 24kmh. Must have the distance wrong on the strava side... Begs the question of what is the real average speed of all the other segment holders?
  14. Seeded in C group with a seeding index of I think 8.... Very weird since I have a racing license and race elites. Perhaps I'm the worst Elite rider there has been
