  4. I have had Stan's in my GT's rear wheel (tube) for more than a year and a half... No issues! I should actually open it and see if there is anything still left.

    music

    Well, this weekend is the jock... SO we make a cd before every race... The race mix. The rules are simple. It has to be a standard cd (no MP3), and anything goes, except excessive swearing. This weekends mix is: 1. Intro - Bicycle Race - Queen 2. Sail - Awolnation 3. Nickleback - Savin Me 4. Grounds for Divorce - Elbow 5. TNT - ACDC 6. You got the love - Florence and the machine 7. My Immortal (rock version) - Evanessence 8. Run Baby Run - Sheryl Crow 9. Knocking on heavens door - Guns and Roses 10. All these things I have done - The Killers 11. Pyro - Kings Of Leon 12. Stars (2011) - Roxette 13. Cant Stop - Red Hot Chilli Peppers 14. When we stand together - Nicleback 15. Gold on the Ceiling - The Black Keys 16. Bodyrock - Moby 17. Titanium - David Guetta 18. Good Feeling - Flo Rida 19. Bangarang - Skrillex 20. Sorry for Party Rocking - LMFAO
  6. And this is where Wiggins laid the challenge down... Nobody has been up to it yet... It makes me think of Indurain, just better... TT the crap out of them, and handle what comes your way in the Mountains... That will force the guys to bring an all round cyclist instead of a climber that can't TT or descend...
  7. It all started with a dare between a bunch of mates in std 6 (1996)... From there it turned into quite a lot of racing, where I managed to win 2 races as a junior. After school I went to study and work, so cycling was no more, but at age 26, a couple of new colleagues motivated me to get a MTB. Getting back onto the bike, I remembered some past glories, so everyday I dream I can achieve them again...
  8. 340 grams for the pedals or pedal? if both weigh 340 grams, then this is quite obviously not the place to start to lose the 301 grams to get your bike below 9 kilos... Unless you can show me a set of pedals that weigh 39 grams... Rather look at the wheels or crank... If you really want to go all out, cut an inch off your handle bar on either side and also for your seatpost. Remove all unnecessary bolts, and replace the ones required with titanium bolts. Cut your hoses / cable sleeves as short as possible. Trim some of the knobblies with a side cutter on your tires... You can also lose weight on your kit... Skip the helmet, gloves and glasses... That way, you and your steed can go and float around...
  9. If you go from 200 to 18 kilos, I cannot see a difference. Maybe going from 10 to 8... I would like to agree with Ceres, if you can keep wheel and crank weight down, you'll need less effort to get it going.
  10. How is those wheels! Mielie!
  11. Haha, It would have been interesting to have Sagan in the mix as well... This finish suited his style... Cav does flat and fast, but not uphill... Good for Gorilla G! Do you really think this vent less helmet fad gives that much of an advantage?
  12. Sagan had to swap bikes, and he got 5th... Definitely no zero this fella! I hope he can hold on to green...
  13. I also switched to compact... My Ratio: 50x34 and 28x11... Yeah baby! Come on Boulders and Hilltop!
  14. How blown up was ol Cav's lip after the incident?!?! He is like a 3 year old that did not get the sweetie... Pfffft! It racing boet.
  15. Just FYI... Early of 2012 Sagan unofficially announced prolongation of his contract with Liquigas till 2014. In the contract, signed prior Vuelta a España, Sagan exchanged better financial benefits for a possibility to have his brother Juraj on the team. Source - Wikipedia Sometimes you have to do what you need to do... 14 wins this season for Sagan already... He had to compete with other seasoned racers ("wheelsuckers") for his wins in any case...
  16. When you freewheel or when you pedal?
  17. No Need to change the crank. @JTK - This is the case for newer hubs, especially road. But my MTB also only support 8 and 9 speed... So I also did the same - Jump from 8 to 9 without hassles...
  18. Bummer... There goes the idea of sending the Malema Picture...
  19. Kids may be too much! Ask her for her banking details so you can pay for her plane ticket...
  20. The issue with these "bad ass" criminals, is that they think they have the guts to pull it off until the trigger is pulled. It is misinformed people, who fall to crime, not knowing what they are letting them in for or actually realizing the consequences of their actions. To sort this out, a couple of factors have to be looked at ASAP: 1. A proper education for the youth 2. A proper penalty for crime Otherwise we will always have a bunch of stupid fools running around and committing crimes, as they do not know better.
  21. Not just this thread that is taking this slant... It is the whole of SA taking this stance. BBBEE has not been good to me, It is felt by many that because I am white, I am advantaged. My father went to the "grens" often when I was young. He would come back and beat me senseless. My mother and father was divorced when I was 4, as he was just not the man she married. I did not get a tertiary education, maintenance from my farther was never paid, and to my shock I learnt that my Mother and Stepdad (awesome guy), ran a shebeen to keep things going. Yet we all go from strength to strength and do not fall to crime. I have worked hard and is busy studying part time. Criminals are of all color, but as Gummibear said, the crimes against whites is so freakin brutal! It is high time that the government do something about this. Start by taking away prisoners' rights to everything once found guilty, and let them do hard labour exposed to the elements. It is because currently crime pays for the elite who gets released earlier due to overcrowded prisons. In this country, some are more equal than others, and until that is not sorted, there will be a racial tone to everything.
  22. I once lost it with my neighbor:
  23. True. So do you suggest that he have a mass ride to Parliament to hand over some memorandum? In all essence I do what I can, I pay taxes, vote, don't murder, etc. So I walk the straight and narrow - so also many others in SA. That is what we can do. But yet people are murdered every day and paintings are not painted every day. SO how do I stand out against JZ and the Spear? We are in it for the ride. And if you don't like the ride, it is time to get off... My time is coming.
