does anyone in cape town do this kind of spray painting? Nero, I'm loving your bike man! I have the same frame, can i plagiarize your ideas? lol

mini hijack I'm also considering respraying my Giant ONCE for my daughter as she wants to get into cycling. Do you know where I can get the decals for this bike?

Thanks all for the replies. I went to check a Specialized bike yesterday and the size is completely different to my giant compact! If only I knew that a while ago... I missed out on a fantastic deal because I thought the bike would be to big for me!

Hi All, I need some help please. I want to buy a new road bike and I'm certain as to whether I should stick to size small 44 cm (which is my current bike size) or if I can switch to something a bigger? My height is 1.73 cm. I did a bike fitting a while back and the bike shop gave me a printout, but I'm not sure how to read this thing? I've attached the image. What I need to know is, can I go with a centre to top of 48 cm or 50 cm? and what should the Top tube size be? Thanks Saudiq

Thanks for the tip. Someone gave him an ENO while on route, would this have had the same effect?

My dad is using Bio-Atenalol 50mg but also used Co-Diovan and Maxim with the same results?

Hi All, I'm trying to help my dad find a way to prevent his legs from cramping on rides. He cramps in almost every event and the only thing we can think of is the high blood pressure medication that he using. I was hoping one of you well informed hubbers would be able to offer some advise? Any advise would be appreciated...

Hi All, Is payments required to do the ride? What is the average speed that your beginner group rides? Also, would it be best to do the ride with MTB or road? Thanks

Thanks Headhunter

I see on the Argus website that they've split the social tandem groups to N and HH. If I'm starting at 7.07 which group is before me?

Hi All, Does anyone know what the NT group is? Is that the old social tandem group? Do we start after the Z group?

Hi All, I need to replace the chainrings on my tandem and I'm struggling to find a 55t 130 bcd. Would I have major problems if I changed this to a 56t chainring? I currently spin out with my 55t chainring and I've been told I can't change my 9 speed sprocket to a 25-11t. I'm considering getting the Vuelta chainring, is this a good chainring? If anyone knows where I can find chainrings in South Africa, please urgently let me know. Thanks Saudiq

Anyone have some training tips for tandem riders to complete the Argus in 3h20?

Do you guys know of any social groups in southern suburbs training together for next years Argus? I'm doing it on a tandem again next year and would like to do a 3h20....

Hi All, I'm thinking of upgrading my front derailleur (FD) on my 9 speed tandem from a Tiagra to a 105 or Ultegra. Would this make a big difference performance wise? My chain rubs against my current FD when I'm in the big blade and my granny. Any advise would be appreciated.

We've been training and therefore the 53 is no longer enough . Did it a make a big difference changing from 53 to 55?

I wish it was that simple!

Thanks Big H. I need to change my front derailleur, any suggestions?

Hi All, I've been contemplating changing my flywheel on my tandem from a 53 to a 55 as I find we spin out at 65 km/h on a slight decline. Would this change make a significant difference? We're a male tandem team. What else can I do to make my tandem a bit faster? I currently have a standard Titan tandem. Any feedback will be appreciated. Thanks
