Hi Guys i am appealing to everyone to try and come to the party here we are trying to get 2 bikes, from BMX or whatever is available, for two 14 Year Olds from disadvantaged backgrounds who will utilise these bikes as transport combined with health and wellness. They are devoted footballers, these youngsters have made a promise to themselves that they want to be they change they want in life and in getting these bikes will help them to get to and from training daily. Their parents are unemployed and wound up in circles of substance abuse. We are appealing to everyone to come forward and see what we can do to help. They are in the Johannesburg area. If you could help at all please contact Sam on 082 803 3866 or Clayton on 083 227 0429. Many Thanks

Hi All, i thought i would keep everyone up to speed with one of the latest trends in the cycling world and now through the winter months is one of the best times to jump on the wagon. I have been doing pilates through the summer months and my stability on the bike is absolutely incredible now after these pilates sessions, again it does depend on the trainer but private classes and not those offered in the gym are awesome to keep you up to speed. I am currently in Durban and pilates is offered everyday barring the weekends by my instructor and she really does plan a good session. It helps with recovery after hard sessions, definately improves flexibility and most importantly builds your core where most of your power gets lost on the bike through absorbtion with a weak core. Go on give it a try. From as little as R50 a session.

The lateral stiffnes would be comprised mainly due to the non bladed spokes being replaced by straight gauge spokes, this can and will be counteracted if building 3 cross whereas the normal spoke pattern is 2 cross and radial, as well as the bigger flange diameter. the powertap Sl comes in a 20 hole version so no reason why it shouldnt work. You may want to double check the spoke length on that other post but from my calculation it will be 287 and 285 mm for 3 cross.

Hi All, the above bike was stolen from 530 Musgrave road yesterday - 3 January - at around 12pm, it has XT Grouppo and eggbeater pedals if anyone come across it in the Durban are please do not hesitate to contact me.

If you round up a few people who are interested, i will be more than glad to come and do some setups there! I am currently coaching some athletes there.

The rider is not pedalling she is leaning over the left of the bike! I will be doing a complete bike setup photoshoot with one of our local pros in the coming days. That will be a better reflection of what is to happen. Regards

Hi Guys, i am a Durban based coach and am currently offering a proffesional bikefitting service. I offer advanced cleat alignment as far as shimming is concerned, if you are experiencing any knee pain, this is most likely due to cleat alignment not being correct. For a bike Setup i charge R400 and for cleat alignment is R180 including shims. Please do not hesitate to contact me. Clayton Blackler 083 227 0429.

Hi Elvin, the knee pain comes from the foot angle not being flat and all shoes are made with no adjustment here. I do a proffesional bike setup service and am based in Durban this includes the shimming of shoes which creates a greater amount of power transfer as well as saving my clients thousands of rands on physio fees as well as all of them to date cancelling knee ops that were scheduled since having their feet measured and shoes shimmed accordingly. Next time you are in Durban be sure to contact me. Regards Clayton Blackler. 083 227 0429. You can also email me: clayton@cyclingcoach.co.za

Is Anyone in Underburg this weekend that wants some company prob 3 hrs saturday 2 hrs sunday?

Hi, i actually bought it from Cycle lab about 2 months ago hey. There is an advantage to them i have widely tested it, as far as applied Kinesiology - Energy systems as well as body meridians goes. I have since seen you can buy packs of 100 on eBay for wat works out to be around R22 each excluding postage tho. But am keen to look into this situation.

Is anybody else having a problem with the holgrams peeling out of their powerbalances. I mean for R495 - I d expect a bit better quality or way of placing them.. Do you think they should be warranteed?

53 Rings are only allowed to be used by first year under 23. 52 is the absolute max for youngsters. The gear ratios above are absolutely correct.

Hey no bigger than 52 front chainring is allowed for U14 rider the rollout is 6.262metres. So the closest you can get to this is 52 x 17 - Again speak to Clint at finishline cycles - for the most helpful guy around when it comes to schoolboys.
