Careful. If this thread becomes too popular we might start seeing more white bibs out in the streets.

Has this got to go? I’m ready to hit buy on the below item should it go on an attractive sale price: https://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/pro-stem-vibe-carbon-stem

This. I rode for the first time last year and blew my energy on the Monster climb. Felt like a superhero reaching the top but the rest of the race was filled with cramps and mental exhaustion. This year I rode a steady pace at a controlled heart rate. Race went by much quicker and smoother overall (even the downhills seemed easier to contend with). Glad you enjoyed it though. Next year you'll nail it .

Smaller turn out this year. The price and having it the same weekend as the Magalies Monster might have been factors. Either way it was a fantastic event. Lovely way to see part of the city.

WTH is &. I’m not finding this symbol from previous years (2016 groups). Can anyone help in understanding the start groups?

USN has already migrated to Racetec... According to a Racetec rep they are looking to monopolize the market with seeding. It should be an interesting time ahead...

Turns out Froome is quicker on a training ride with considerably more km and climbing. To put this into perspective: This ‘Fast One’ race was 96km and ONLY 600m climbing. Chris Froomes ‘training ride’ was 271km AND 3400m climbing. Nolan Hoffman won @ an average speed = 44.2km/h Chris Froome trained @ an average speed = 44.8km/h Surely the gap between them can’t be that vast? Fin

Unfortunately not. The company is still relatively new and their distribution network still has a long way to go. They can ship directly to SA though. I have not looked at the costs in this regard but it may be worth looking into. Especially when you have to factor buying 3 local bikes over your little one's life.

Find somebody in Euprope/UK that can bring home a littlebig 3in1 bike. You won't look back for a straight 5 years. Yes. 5. It grows with your kid and is solidly built to last.

Such an interesting thread. Thanks to OP for starting this. W/kg 3.28 PPA 13.45 Normally group AL.

Nissan Trailseeker Marathon Saturday and Tshwane Classic Sunday will make for a tough weekend in the saddle. Looking forward to it.

Hekpoort climb towards the end utterly dismantled the field. A longer route certainly compounded the carnage too. All in all a great smooth race that made up for the poorly organized parking at the start.

Sometimes there are super bike specials (think 50%). I financed my first bike at I think 13% interest over 24 months and paid it off in 10 months. Even if I paid it off over the full term the discount far outweighed the interest charged. I would not have done so on a 10% discount. It may be useful for your friend to review his budget and determine what he can afford. P.S. Wesbank has been doing it for a while and their systems are quite sound (you can monitor the facility and easily request a settlement when ready.

Eddy - clearly all you have is a laptop/desktop. Try view this forum on an ipad or android smartphone before running your mouth. "Yes it was" for you. It was not the font for me. Ultimately this is a pointless argument. Have a pleasant night.

Yeah... well. Good point. Except that was not the font when I responded. But again. Good point Aru.
