  1. Will it be possible to ride jonkershoek on Friday or saturday before the event on Sunday ?
  2. I hope these guys get one in the exit chute while in the holding cells. Disgraceful bunch.
  3. Watched the clip what a bunch of scumbags they look like used car dealers, hope Cycle Scinece go under and these two scumbags loose everything.
  4. don't know why these people don't put up a route profile - its like entering blind - no clue of the route or the profile - doesn't look like its very well organised.
  5. Ha Ha looks like I am famous. Its a pleasure man. I think i have been given more tubes from other riders than i have given out, so its all good karma. Glad you made it home.
  6. Santa Cruz is an amazing brand. I ride the Tallboy LTC and its by far the best bike i have owned and that includes the other brands mentioned above. My brother is on a Tallboy 2 and I have a few friends riding them and they all love them. Once you have had a Santa Cruz its hard to ride anything else. If you are still unsure take one for a test ride. @Johny Bravo - i don't know what you been smoking but a specialised lighter and better components are is going to cost you a whole lot more than R65k they Sworks epic is retailing for around R110k.
  7. sorry forgot the attachment

  9. Hi Guys Did a lipogram today to check cholestrol levels. I have been on LCHF for about +- 2 months. A little concerned with the results : Total cholestrol 7.1 up from 5.1 a year ago HDL 1.6 up from 1.3 a year ago LDL 4.8 up form 3.3 a year ago I dont have HDL and LDL from just before starting the diet but when i did my Discovery test a few months ago total was 5.76, so it has gone from 5.76 to 7.1 over the period of 2 months on LCHF. Any advise maybe cutting back on saturated fats like cheese etc. Cheers
  10. Hi Guys, Looking for a bit of advise. I have been LCHF for about two months now. Initial period was terrible, no energy etc. That improved somewhat and think i have adapted to burning fat. The one problem that i am finding is that my legs seem to "lactate" as soon as i up the tempo. It feels almost as if my muscles run out of energy and i have to back off to let my legs recover, before being able to push the pace again. I have been training on water and have used super starch for races. If i do two consecutive days of riding my legs feel very heavy ie recovery post ride seems to be slower than normal. My heart rate generally is very high on rides > 70% of max, to keep it down i would have to ride really slowly, i know this probably puts me in a zone where my body will be trying to burn glucose, but note sure how to avoid this. I have been upping my sodium intake but still feel fairly dehydrated after a ride. Ant advise would be appreciated
  11. SCHWEEEEEEEET
  12. VeloErv when will the rock n roll extreme be available i have spoken to a number of bike shops and they all say nope they dont have and dont know when they will be getting - I was just about to order online and bring it in myself, its without dounbt the best lube but is always a mission to get hole of. Please let me know who has stock in JHB Thanks
  13. you roadies are such a bunch of pussies. What happened yesterday can hardly be called a mechanical. Its called rider error. If AS wants to win the TDF then best he learns how to shift gears properly. Beside some shitty gear shifting his team managed to waste each other out of the peleton with some hi-tempo riding that left him without any team mates. He was isolated in the mountains on his own without a team mate to help him. AC carried on racing as did everyone else. What next - andy slips on a bannana skin, will the peleton wait ? Do we need a domesique to wipe Andy's arse before he puts his bib on ?. Cry babies don't win the TDF. Besides AC is gonna take at least 1min 30 to 2 min out of andy on the time trial , so it will be irrelevant. I suggest you forum members go get yourself a mountain bike and a pair of nuts.
  14. cant wait for the day when a cyclist pulls out a gun and gives one of these f**kers 2 in the head and one in the chest.
  15. Not a Rumour. It was a sad day yesterday. 3 harleys collided with each other on the road and ended up hitting two road cyclists from behind out near Teak Place. There were some serious injuries. Medics from the Teak Trail Race were sent to help before ambulances arrived. No news of how they are.
