  1. Just orderd a 705 with hr and cadence, is there anything I need to get for this thing? is there anything else in terms of software I need to get? training or map software?
  2. rode there about 4 weeks ago and they had paved just on section, at the top, the downhill section as you cross the river by the fence. basically made it more tame. dont see them having pavel the entire singletrack, hope not
  3. I know the exact shop you are talking about, also found these guys very arrogant, seems to be a norm for cycle shops now days. I have two shops I support, im in JHB, one down the road from me, guys are pretty cool and we get along but a bit pricey, the got my main man in Bloem, excellent prices and the dude goes the xtra mile to make sure you are happy and does great prices. One day when I am big, I want to be an arrogant bicycle salesman

  9. haha generally in large scale manufacturing a price structure would be set for a number of years (normally between 3-5) so even if an increase of 60% is introduced next year, we may (Hopefully!!) have a year or two before it would filter to us. Just got to hope your brand has had a recent pricing renewal at a decent price!! or...no more plastic bikes for me!
  10. dude you got an awsome set of mtb trails in Balito, only a few minutes drive from saltrock Holla trails, run by a guy called Wayne, excellent chap, good trails http://www.hollatrails.co.za/web/
  11. I have a very scientific yet easy way to measure body fat Step 1: Take off your shirt Step 2: slap the side of your Stomach Step 3: Observe the movement of your stomach and compare the results to the chart below. Results chart: The Belly does not move, red hand print visible - Low Body Fat The belly moves a little, but returns to shap within a second - Average Body Fat The belly moves a lot, followed by a series of small after-shock movements - High Body Fat The hand gets absorbed by the belly, the belly continues into wave like movements, which will extend to the moobs area of the torso - Frikkin high Body Fat PS: This only works for men, ladies have further complications with the movements of certain body parts when the tummy is slapped which make the results unaccurate
  12. 2% Dude, not ripping you but as an athlete I doubt you would be able to perform. I was involved in the world of bodybuilding for a few years and 2% is what is know as "Death Paper" Ronnie Colman (MR Olimpia) gets to betwean 2-4% before major showings, he can only stay at that for a few days and then has to pick up, he basically starves himself for days and just drinks water to get to that. Picture is Ronnie at 2006 Mr Olimpia....at 2%
