Makes little difference to me as long as it is not too crude or overly abusive...on second thought how are you going to moderate that!!

Don't you know roids makes certain body parts shrink. Ja, like the brain to begin with,.......!!

Some people are pretty stupid when it comes to animals, where I ride you need to keep your eyes open for dogs, people riding horses, cattle wandering around.

Great suggestion. I like it. I like it a lot! http://fengshuihouse.co.uk/images/bells-whisky.jpg Brilliant!

What a bunch of asses......

Maybe we should ride with bells!!

Wow, after reading this thread I am truly looking forward to my first MTB race in May!

what did I do? are you now the fat thread police ? http://office-humour.co.uk/content/images/2008/12/10450.jpg Looks like one of our Metro cops!!

I don't look like Tom Cruise or that funny looking oke from Greys Anatomy, I don't get upset when my girlfriend says how sexy these guys are and watches cr#p on the TV because of this!!

Sorry, was wondering how the guy managed to steal the bike.

How did he get it?

Thats where I came across this, in an online Shimano manual. I thought the brakes were like a car's,..i.e a closed system, the only way to introduce air would be to have leaks in the tubing/piping/unions or in the reservoirs or at the caliper end?

Am just checking its safe to lay the bike down in the back of my car or for when I fix a puncture. Thanks.

I am busy looking at hydraulic brakes on my possible future bike, but I have read somewhere that you need to be careful when laying the bike down on its side, and turning upside down as the brakes can then get air in them,...any truth to this?

Aaaarrrghhhhhh!

They drive you mad, even worse when you have a more than one phone line,....they just don't get the message that you don't want their product/service etc and then they get all miff about it!! The best way for me is to say 'Thanks but no thanks' if they get shirty after that just hang up!

Wow, thats enough to put anyone off marshalling!

Where did you get pricing as I am also in the market for a new bike around R5000. Personally I would look at the Merida.

If you are not feeling 100%, give it a miss rather than put strain on your heart,....Take the time to recover now.

While I agree that you can't judge someone by looks alone (I would be screwed otherwise!!), it does help if whoever is assisting you does cycle or has some physical riding knowledge. It helps when trying to explain something to someone and hopefully saves time and frustration.

Service and customer satisfaction is KING! I run a my own business, have done for the last 5 years and I assist my partner with her business. If we were not service and customer orientated we would have been out of business within 6 months. A good sign of the sucess of a business is not only new business, but repeat business. Alas the 'service is king' line is a bit of a joke in SA lately, from buying a computer to trying to get a decent service for your car. No-one seems to care.,,,,,

Bikes, cars, 4x4's, model planes, computers, tools, beer, all for me,...plenty of kids already out there for someone else to deal with!!

I pop into the Krugersdump Cajee's once in a while, the guys help me out there and I have been going there for years, its also the closest option for me. The one at Princess Crossing, I give that a wide berth, bicycles all over in various states of repair and assembly, spares and stock all over the floor (can't even look at the tyres for rubbish all over) and mad prices! Nobody interested in helping you cause you don't have R20k to spend!

I thought he would be trying to nationalise the site......

Was the chain also replaced? Any sticky links?
