  1. Have you checked out Canyon bikes? German - used by Silence Lotto - and you can only order directly from Canyon. They obviously also felt that the middel man is making everything too expensive. Canyon ship bikes to customers/clients, so they know how to pack it and charge it. Fantastic value for money. Check out www.canyon.com
  2. Yes, and we do have road closure for the Argus. But the Argus and all your other 10 000+ road races aren't really the same as the league race of today, is it?
  3. ...and that is why they can't obey rules? In every sport there are rules and you have to obey them. I do realize the racing is more hectic, bu t do it within the rules. Do you want to see a rider die before the white line rule sinks in?
  4. Ek het gehoor dat die ou en Lilo.....o nee wag....miskien moet ek nie s? nie.
  5. I know. My ego has almost recovered....
  6. I'm in no hurry to ride Killarney on Wednesdays. I did it on a Tuesday 3 weeks ago and got my a$$ handed to me on a platter.
  7. Cool!!! That looks like he's trying to fly like superman or something.
  8. 100% correct' date=' if I bought a entry I would not pay more than R100. [/quote'] You can't really expect th person parting with their Argus entry to pay R150 of the substitution fee aswell. But it doesn't sound like you're looking for an entry Skye.
  9. I'd expect the people asking for Argus entries to answer the question Willehond asked. I think it's fair, but I'm not in the buyers market.
  10. OKAY. That is one way of training. Who needs science and technology? Why do a lot of the top cyclists train with HRM and/or Power metres, if they could save themselves the time and effort and ride until they puke?
  11. ewep - the coaches you refer to, are they all web based?
  12. Who are the best coaches in the Western Cape area? How do you guys feel about web based coaching vs. a 1 on 1 with a coach or does it come down to the same thing?
  13. Would it defeat the object if i train and ride with a Power metre over weekends, but only ride with a HRM during the week when I commute.
  14. I start to see the advantages of using a power metre. So what should I do if a big chunk of my time on a bike is commuting on an old crappy bike (to save my racing bike) and over weekends I race or train on my road bike and in winter I ride on my nice MTB? I can't really afford 1 power metre as is. HR monitors are easy enough to move between bikes. Power meters seems less flexible.
  15. What is your experiece and/or advice on getting a coach vs. reading up on how to train?
  16. Power training seems to be very popular, but also very expensive. Are the advantages really that much better than training by HR? What are the advantages? Do I need to spend R10,000.00 to make it worth it, or would cheaper power meters also do the trick? The power meter or HR monitor are still only tools. What is the best way of using it? Would a book tell me everything I need to know or is specialized, personalized training the way to go?
  17. The only problem is you cannot put it on while your pedal is still on the crank.
