  1. Agree with willehond i dont intend to race people but if i see someone ahead of me i use them by making a goal and saying in two minutes i want to pass them, just tonight i went for a TT ride and saw riders on the rand water road, worked out they were four minutes ahead and decided by the train track i want to pass them and i did but i only do it to build up the pace and it kinda helps mentaly but i dont pass and make it look like i want to race, i greet and tell them to enjoy there ride and occasionaly joke here and there but i never intend to race unless i am with Bigben and BigBrotherBen Little-Ben2009-04-28 14:01:33
  2. i dont miss it at all nor does my poor collarbone which was left broken after a bail in the sugarbowl, ok ok the rest was a great ride but it was too far for me to get to ride there enough
  3. i have only used spray and cook and found it works just for a few kms then its off already
  4. i got xtr calipers on xt dc leavers, feel is amazing but it is pricy
  5. I really enjoy being around such a great cyclist and ever since i have been riding with him he has always been a good guy, i went on the motor bike to fetch the gel off the coarse because i was going that way, i think BB missed that part but it just takes some like that to be said to prove how great he really is, if there is one person who is a great ambassador in the scene of cycling i would say it would be Bryce, Tim is also a great kid and is following in his brothers footsteps and its always a pleasure to be in his company, big ups to these guys parents aswell for all the great support they get
  6. im watching im watching
  7. carry your own gun, prob sorted Glad you got out of it ok mate, bike is replacable but a life is, in a situation like that ide hand my bike and stuff over and atleast be able to ride another day
  8. Yoh, even here in Maputo we know its before 12 before 12 in the day when the sun shines is the rule
  9. the only fool is you bud you only 7h45m too slow,
  10. Well if its an april fool then the only fool is the one who started this because it has to be before 12 this morning

  12. JB removed my lockout from my reba and replaced it with just an air cap, saved me around 200g if i remember correctly, not a fan of lockout anyway,
  13. glad to ee its ben sorted, still getting ocassional warning but not nearly as much
  14. LOL little ben i'm quite prepared to do that ... just need to know what type of training' date=' don't want to end up not being able to cycle because of a knee injury [/quote'] try a hard but comfortable gear but not to easy, when you comfy with that gear move to a harder gear and so on and so on, if knee pain stays then see a doctor,
  15. train more
  16. Option1: New Silverback Mecury 1 with XTR groupset for R25000, can't remeber this one but if it is the carbon then its a great bike especially with xtr groupo, finding a carbon bike at that price with xtr is not an easy task, will look it up, also silverback is a great brand and reliable, and it has a solid ride feel to it Option 2: 2008 GT Marathon 1 Frame with new SLX groupset (and parts from Marathon Carbon Expert 2009) for R14000, for that price its not to bad but you wont have the xtr but a nice frame, i rode the carbon marathon at sabie ex last year and absolutely loved it, if i could though i would take the silverback if i was going to race hard or the gt if i was just going to ride for fun,
  17. hey admin, sent you a pm with my avast log, did you get it
  18. if its easy its not fun, if its not fun, why ride it,, my opinion i guess so use it or dont it dont matter to me, i justlove to ride my mountainbike and love to do it off the road, its LITTLE-BENLittle-Ben2009-03-22 12:49:55
  19. Am on the rd south of Jhb and see a lot of mtbers and very often they'll ride two feet parallel to the road on dirt. Why make life hard for yourselves b4 you plunge off into the bush proper - if there's a road there what's the problem in using it the answer is obvious, im on my mountainbike, not my road bike, if i wanted to ride on the road then i will ride my road bike, thats it, mtb=OFFroad, roadbike= boredom,misserable, AND ONROAD
  20. buy a merida scultura with full dura-ace including wheels with easton ec90 bar, stem and seat post
  21. its fine if you got the nozzle that makes a fast fine mist just keep a good distance and use a good degreaser,
  22. sounds like something that could rip a mtb tyre to pieces
