FC&P2C

I ride 11-25 on my tantem but on my tt and road bike I alternate between 11-23 and 12-25. The wide ratio 11-25 doesnt have a 16 and I shall much rather keep my 16 than any other gear on a single bike.

I bet you R50 you dont have a 20 either!

The gain in confedance with clipped in feet by far outways the worry about not unclipping fast enough. go ride now with flats and you will realise how dangerous it is for a foot that slips of the pedal. Please remember to wear your shin guards with the flats.

If you were ok on a 23 at d2d then you got nothing to worry about on Argus. Last time I did Argus on a single I had a 42/21 in 1994. Now doing it with a 25 on my tandem with wife. Argus is much easier than d2d

I think its unfair to dish any shop cause you dont like the personality of the mechanic. What are you doing behind the scenes anyway. Saying that I experience the same with all the bikeshops I visit as the mechanic is either too much of a mechanic (nie van my dam se eende nie) or an arrogant laaitie that is trying to ride pro but has to earn money for his next race entrance.

The old route was fast because of the North to South direction that gave a tail wind all the way rather than the downhill. Does anyone know about the guy that past away? What happened?

Just saw a set of ksyrium elites on the classifieds for R2300. Will be an awesome upgrade and will last forever.

I've entered the full Xterra. My first one. How hard can it be?

Co2 canisters are not allowed but Ive always kept them in my bike box that is too big for them to scan and never had a problem. Better than marking your seatpost just measure from top of saddle to centre of pedal axle in downward position. This way you can adjust any bike quickly to your exact measurement.

Here is my Alan that I rode in 93/94. Blinged it with full Dura Ace 8 speed to very fine detail that includes DA hubs, qr's, chain. I think it was the first sti groupset released by shimano. The rollers on the jockey has ceramic bearings!!! So glad I can share it here as my wife just doesnt get it!!! Doing 94,7 this year on it. (Anything will be better than last year on a bmx

Exactly the same happened to a buddy of mine last week but he just paid the 40% for everything!

b.t.w - how discriminating is that - the guys with money can buy drugs whilst the guys without the money must get along with their own strength? LOL That is exactly how it is at the moment.

Well thats the thing. My p2c is 5 years old but still awesome and as fast as anything out there. She is much faster than I am!

You might have a little bit of back pain after the cycle leg!

She is old but still very good. Doing my 5th Ironman on her in April!

I am planning to do the bmx comp Sunday morning and then ride my mtb

Thats what I was talking about!!!

When and what is the distance?

Is it allowed to do mtb races on cx bikes? Which races in Gauteng would work on a cx bike?

OK OK back to the topic.... I use paraffin and just flush it down my stormwater drain that I drilled into the main sewerage line!

Maybe Andy is hoping now that he is on Lance's bike he will win the tdf. Mind you he also needs Lance's Chemist!!!!

Pics???

All they nead to do is fill all the holes the day before with sand. Thrashed both my Tandem's rims last year with Emperors race!

Take your passport and cycle to top chalet and back.

Rode ZBH last weekend on my AM bike. Was AWESOME!!!
