  1. Thanks for that input ... It is motivating
  2. I found the Kryllion difficult to put on. Ok for every day riding. I found them to be more puncture resistant than the gators. I tended to get sidewall punctures with the gators.
  3. A Good tyre. Just replaced mine with same for another season. Good grip, nice speed, comfort, and smooth turning. Gives off quiute a bit of dust though which is visible on my white frame. I found them better than Schwalbe and Conti
  4. Were the bolts perhaps not correctly tightened?
  5. I believe that if you have a training goal, then a training plan or programme is essential. There are all those cliche's of goals without plans etc. You don't need a coach but your plan does need to be based on sound training methodologies. It must have substance. And finally you need to monitor your progression on the plan over time.
  6. I hope Basso gets a good result on today's stage

    I have found an opening on a team, so won't be forming my own any longer.
  8. Sean Kelly, being interviewed after the ’84 Amstel Gold Race, spots his wife leaning against his Citroën AX. He interrupts the interview to tell her to get off the paintwork, to which she shrugs, “In your life the car comes first, then the bike, then me.” Instinctively, he snaps back, “You got the order wrong. The bike comes first.”

    Hi Tiny K,Long time no see :-) Send me a pm with those guys contacts. thanks.
  16. I will be supporting Liquigas for honours in Giro and TDF. I have also seen a report of Nibali lined up for TDF and Basso for Giro. Preference would have been to see Basso win TDF, but doubt that he is strong enough for that (will keep on hoping though), so Giro is a good second best, and as is being said Nibali is a serious and capable contender for TDF. Is his TT as good as Wiggins though? Wiggins is probably the one to beat at TDF this year?

    Hi, My brother and I are considering joining or forming a DC Team, with a team target of 6.5-7hr. Are there any teams with that target time looking for members? Are there any persons interested in forming such team?
  18. Well Done.Maybe next year for me
  19. COOL. Thanks Guys. Just what I was looking for.Have a Lekker day
  20. Hi, What is available to provide identification of rider, medical aid details, next of kin details, etc when a rider due to incapacity is unable to do so. America and UK has Road Badge id, which is a bracelet with details similar appearance to our medic alert bracelet. Anything similar in SA? What do you use? Thanks,
  21. I have hub based Dale, Power Tap. Contact these guys for prices http://www.cadencecycling.co.za/shop/products.php. I chose power tap because it is the cheapest and as fit for purpose as the others. I agree with the books, Joe Friel - Training Bible, and Coggan - Training with Power (my copy of Coggan is on its way). I download and analyse through Training Peaks.com, also do trsaining programmes etc through that site. Annual fee of +-R900
  22. I had a Great Ride. Improved on last years time by 34min. Weather was great. Vet leaders dropped us up Boyes. Secondary group worked together nicely. I did quite a few pulls on the front and I felt good that I still some left for the end. Going up Oukaap I had a nice constant pace and past quite a few people. Reaching my peak as per programme. Nice feeling. I was pleasantly surprised to see 2h29 when I stopped the watch after the line.
