um... rsvp list

Get 10 of us together and lets order some Vermarc

Think I'll stay with my current club....which is Standard bank. If we don't count the morning rides (which are supposed to be club rides) I don't really attend any other club rides so to me the decent kit I'd get is enough. Oh and I am a standard level rider so no point in trying to be anything else

The quality of the inners can only mean that you are wearing the inner bends more than normal. This would mean you need to use your barrel bolts to adjust your gears a bit more. Not a chain smash. As Johan has posted earlier' date=' the type of cable will not make any difference on how much dirt can enter the system. [/quote'] The cables are fine. It's the housing that keeps on breaking.....gets all nasty round my shifters and now by my derailleur Thug I'm gonna bring it to you to show me how 2nd last time it was done at a shop.....cable was cut waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too short as well so changing my brake pads turned into changing cable and housing as well....

I've only used the shop stuff. But I'm getting tired of it....every 2 months I gotta change some piece somewhere....

I use the shop housing.....I've gone through kms of this stuff. Mamapara always told me to get the XTR ones but I'm a cheapscate.....plus I got parts of the cable that is completely covered so I don't think the XTR would work..... And now....I need to change the piece that goes to the derailleur......again..... So yeah it's cheap.....don't know if it will satisfy your need for smooth shifting though

I look good in blue..... that's why I ride for them being standard rider and all bored girl2008-10-30 07:43:17

What? don't tell me you take your top off at work as well There has to be some amusement at this place....

I got some hectic lines from Sat.....was in a hurry so obviously didnt spread that lotion....get ripped off at work tons....

I can just picture this....... KDEE standing in the bushes in the dark shouting.....'Looking good Nancy Drew'..... 'Styling there Bored Girl'........... 'Cmon MarkStockton'........ 'Faster The Thug'....... 'Very polite riding there Jules' ............'Yay for the hubbers' Im going to get very skeef looks and may get locked up... Wear dark clothes.....no one will see you

1.57 i think....

No ways....those guys are weird.... 2 weeks back they missed me.... then now i get an extra lap....last week i went much faster and i only managed 11.....not right...

It is fun I took it bit easier last night.....but next time next time.....I WILL get those 12 laps And I saw the above spectator lurking round the barrels bored girl2008-10-16 05:05:00

At least I ride buddy

In the almost 2 years that I have had my MTB I have replaced the cassette once. I never HAD to as i rode 8spd and then upgraded to 9spd. The wheels that were so kindly donated to me had to have the cassette replaced. Chain I've replaced twice. Not had the pleasure of replacing chain rings as yet...... Housing and cables on the other hand..............OMG! I don't know how many times I've had to. I changed my brake pads on Sun and last night decided to see if the brakes work ok. Well.....they didn't. The cable is way too short and and I have it just hanging on now (remind myself to check if i tightened the screw holding it enough). The housing is broken by the lever yet again. I panicked a bit.....I am not going to be able to ride tonight and so on.....but then I watched some tv sat for a bit and made a plan. It is not ideal to cut brake housing with scissors and pliers I know but that was my plan. Got a piece of old housing cut it and changed it. Rode the bike this morning and it seems fine. Think it will hold for tonight but I won't be risking it for the BIG MTB weekend. So in nearly 2 years and maybe not super hectic mileage but still enough, I've had to buy some stuff.... 2 chains 2 sets of brake pads 1 cassette due to an upgrade and not wear I BOUGHT a set of tyres and the ones I ride with now were donated as well 4 or 5 sets of cables and housing..... the last one now lasting me since Knysna.....I think with the amount of riding I have done since then that is a bit of a short life.... I know Para told me to get the XTR cable sets but I am bit scared to if they gonna have the same lifespan as my no name R15/lenght cables/housing....

I really like that felt. Was browsing on some UK sites the other day....drooled a bit too

Ha ha ha....funny

Thanks for the vote of confidence guys but I am definitely not in race snake shape at the moment the more i ride the slower I get... Last week I nearly died at the Delt Park race. Had to pull out before the end. Believe I'll do a bit better tomorrow

Its your bum, not mine. The quality of riding I do can't really justify the extra 5k that I don't have. The bum is used to it by now
