I found a saddle bag on the cycle track between Cape town and Milnerton earlier this afternoon. Please let PM me if you have lost your bag. Provide some evidence by telling me the make of the bag and typically what you had in the bag. We can then arrange for you to get the bag back.

So I figure no worries I will get a cheap replacement 7 pin towbar plug from Midas and fix the problem myself. Needles to say I cannot make heads or tails of the wires and am at a loss.

So Sunday I get onto www.iqabi.com and ask if they can give me the wiring diagram so I can get the lights working again. To be honest I was expecting to have to find an auto electrician to help. I received a mail from Jan before the end of the day Sunday saying he will try to help. Guessed it was a BB but was non the less impressed that he could respond so quickly.

This morning I get a mail from Jan stating that he wil give me a new set if light for the rack. I was expecting some kind of cost but was very pleasantly surprised when he stated that he will gladly just give me a New set no charge or questions.

Am honestly blown away, firstly by the price and quality but more I think by the attitude. Well done guys awesome service will definitely recommend.
Oh on that note they are now available from cycle lab fourways, last check R2800 for a 4 bike ride on rack.]]> Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:47:31 +0000 http://www.thehubsa.co.za/forum/topic/112753-big-up/ Garmin 500 or Bryton 35, (GPS Bike Computers) http://www.thehubsa.co.za/forum/topic/112752-garmin-500-or-bryton-35-gps-bike-computers/ The garmin 500 or the bryton 35?

That person smokes the race, training maybe once or twice beforehand. Maybe not sub-3, but a respectable sub-3:30. Damn frustrating. Any war stories?

Those that ride on North Rand rd in the mornings. this is for you.

This morning I was off to the airport real early. It was before 5am and there were a number of groups of cyclist on the road. At first I was a little irritated that the guys were taking the entire left lane, but I let it slide because there was hardly any traffic.

Then on the way back from the airport (about 5:15) I came across another group, this time there was a guy on a MTB on the far right of the group, he was clearly struggling, but what p'd me off was that he kept moving over into the right hand lane. So as I got within 50m of them I gave a short tap of the hooter to let them know there was a car around. Well clearly that was wrong as there was swearing as they came past me whilst I was stopped at the next red light.

and 2 more things guys
1) red lights, STOP DAMMIT. On that road I even stop at green lights, and thats in the car with a few 100kgs of steel around me and multiple airbags. Why ? because the idiot motorists dont give a damn, and the cover of darkness seems to make the number of idiots multiply exponentially.

2) red lights again. but this time those at the back of your bike. Whilst most of you had bright fast flashing ones, a few of you had dim and / or slow flashing ones, these dont work so well, sort them out.]]> Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:20:47 +0000 http://www.thehubsa.co.za/forum/topic/112748-att-east-rand-cyclists/ Ride 4 Sight 2012 seeding http://www.thehubsa.co.za/forum/topic/112747-ride-4-sight-2012-seeding/ They seeded me in EL was in DL for Fast one.

I have the polar wearlink coded transmitter and is fine when I do cycling, but as soon as I start to do running it slips down, not a lot, but is very irritating as I always find myself wanting to pull it up or something

Any ideas or tricks on keeping it in place? Thanx]]> Tue, 07 Feb 2012 17:17:50 +0000 http://www.thehubsa.co.za/forum/topic/112746-heart-rate-monitor-strap-slipping/ Tiekiedraai Hillclimb http://www.thehubsa.co.za/forum/topic/112745-tiekiedraai-hillclimb/
Just want to know what times do you guys get from the bottom at Klein Roosboom winesales board to the "Entrance 100m Ahead" board on top?

But......

Shimano caters for a whole lot of mtb'ers worldwide and they probably make more money of the cheap parts they put on their "Makro" and "Wallmart" bikes ( there must be millions world wide on every kid's bike riding to school)
than the more expensive road groupsets.

Now what if Campy brought out mtb groupsets, made cheapies for kids or worse fishing equipment ............]]> Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:44:53 +0000 http://www.thehubsa.co.za/forum/topic/112743-shimano-vs-campagnolo-2011/ <![CDATA[ASG U23's and Juniors lookin' good at Emperors!]]> http://www.thehubsa.co.za/forum/topic/112742-asg-u23s-and-juniors-lookin-good-at-emperors/
