  1. I witnessed how crap this laaitie rides first hand. I was there that day when he took down 2 development riders from Velokhaya. They were taken away in a ambulance with neck braces. The second time he was in a CAT 3 bunch where he also almost took down a rider from Kinetic Cycling club. That rider almost punched his teeth out.
  2. What was wrong with your old one?
  3. Im swimmming the 1 Ocean
  4. Not at all. Im a roadie who rides a 26er HT in winter.
  5. I thought us roadies are bad but damn! You mtbers are so anal :-P
  6. Yoh! Kaptain! I saw this bike at Chris Willemse on friday! Pretty bike. and light too.
  7. Isnt Helmut a singer??
  8. This year they took out 2 big climbs so it was a little easier but it was technically challenging though. The terrain was hectic! Saw at least 2 riders clutching their collar bones on some downhill sections.
  9. The pictures do seem a bit 'soft'. I think its coz those guys are editing out in the field and sending the footage via FTP to Supersport. Thats where the quality drops comes in
  10. Eno helps too. BTW, do you use gels? Gels cause cramping in some people too. Like me. :-)
  11. Do you crap in training? Or just races? In terms of your diabetes, 32GI is way to go. Do a search on the Hub and you will find lots of info on 32GI. If you only cramp in races then I think its down to muscle conditioning. To cure this you have to train harder and race more often. Worked for me.
  12. Shan and his wife are still the owners of Bowmans.
  13. Rafeeq at Bowmans is very helpful Always willing to sort out the problems.
  14. I bought mtb hardtail with a rizer bar and I used to downhill like a demon and fly over drop offs. Since I "upgraded" to Ritchey flat bar my handling of the bike became twitchy and I even fell a few times now.
  15. Marius what was your time? You were riding strong near the front of B
  16. 2hr58min for me.
  17. I had the same problem. I didnt get a time at the Argus mtb. I spoke to Racetec at the Expo and they said they took manual timing as well as back up. So they found my time on the back timing sheets. So they will be updatting the results in 3 days time. Take your chip with to check it? Where did mount ur chip?
  18. What tyres pressures do you guys run? I weigh 60kg and I rode the argus mtb and found it difficult cornering and handling the bike.
  19. Are you trying to lose weight? Why are taking so much protein? VO2max tablets dont work.
  20. Bontrager You can pick a pair at Bowmans Cycles. They have a 50% off sale. So you can pick up pair shoes for cheap!
  21. Not bad for a copper...
  22. I downloaded the new WKO version. And its working now. You guys rock! It seems that I had the old version of WKO and it didnt recognise the fit files like yo said. Thanks guys its all sorted.
