  1. 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.
  2. Shan and his wife are still the owners of Bowmans.
  3. Rafeeq at Bowmans is very helpful Always willing to sort out the problems.
  4. 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.
  5. Marius what was your time? You were riding strong near the front of B
  6. 2hr58min for me.
  7. 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?
  8. 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.
  9. Are you trying to lose weight? Why are taking so much protein? VO2max tablets dont work.
  10. Bontrager You can pick a pair at Bowmans Cycles. They have a 50% off sale. So you can pick up pair shoes for cheap!
  11. Not bad for a copper...
  12. 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.
  13. Im in B
  14. Me too
  15. I tried that. Still no luck. Do you think I should maybe download the latest WKO?
  16. When i try to download my files from my garmin 500 into wko, it lists the files, but nothing happens when i click the save button. Anyone else have the same problem?
  17. There are many. You need find one that works for you. The top 5 at the moment would be: Cytomax, 32GI, PVM Octane, Hammer and Fit Nutrition.
  18. If u starting to do mountain bike get a hard tail to develop your skills first.
  19. Where in the CBD does the bike lane start?
  20. Do you guys think its worth it to change over to the Garmin 500? Or should I stick with the usual Powertap CPU headunit?
  21. Its just over 2 years old. Its broke in the 1st year, they replaced it and now the new one broken again? Crap product and crap service
  22. So a Powertap only lasts a year? Coz this is the new replacement they gave me when my other Tap failed under warranty. And why should I pay extra for parts they dont stock anymore? Big-J, if your car breaks and you take to the agents to have it repaired, are you gonna be happy when they tell you they dont carry spares for your car and you have to buy a newer model?? I dont dont mind paying for repairs but now I have to upgrade it coz they dont have spares for it.
  23. So my Powertap is broken again. This time its out of warranty by a few months. The chaps at Bicyclepower reckon it will cost me R4900 to fix. They tell me the torque tube is busted. They dont carry "wired" spares anymore so I have to upgrade it to wireless at my cost. What rubbish is that?
  24. Where did he say this? Cape Argus?
