Edition 507

I'm in IT so maybe I have soft sensitive hands from typing and gently moving my mouse around while playing Solitaire from 8-5. Perhaps the others are manual laborers and hence the calluses from swinging that pick all day protects their hands from their lumpy SRAM hoods<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

SRAM chains have a bad habit of snapping Ask team Neotel all about it Althought they have a 'new' improved stonger version out I would still stick to Shimano!

Funny that you mention it now, but I have felt slight discomfort before and then during the Vasbyt my SRAM Reds were hurting my hands just as you described ZeroPlay. I put it down to distance, rough potholed roads and very hard tubbies, but I may have to take a closer look 'cos if it is the case Panorama is going to be murder on my hands By the way, I have also shortened my stem and find it much more comfortable so there is definitely a change in position between DA and SRAM Red.

Oi magoo, does Guinness come in handy "throw away" sachets too?

Good on you JB!!

Spinergy hands down!

Jeez, for that price they could have thrown in a couple of water bottle cages

Still trying to spot the chicks in the picture. Is this like one of those spot the ball competitions or are you having us on?

Just my luck, you work hard and you miss the good posts! So zeepee, can't you repost it but with the words 'allegedly' or 'rumour' somewhere in it, so that you could maybe avoid libel or whatever the problem was that got it deleted?

You making me jealous PE is one of my favourite spots

Thanks KK. And as far as I am aware, you can also carry bombs on busses, tubes and trains and to American Embassies.

Ag shame man, you need to find a new sponsor/bike shop, as your current ones seem real tight with their money And if you upgrade to 10 or even 11 speed you will be able to get so much more mileage out of those clusters as the load and wear will be spread over a sprocket or two more. JB, would you be able to calculate how much further Roders could ride with two extra sprockets before the cassettes needed replacing?

Last time I checked, I think only Arabs were allowed to carry bombs on planes.

I like Chinese, it is one of my favourite take-aways

I was once almost taken out by an ANC supporter but it ended up that we couldn't decide on the restaurant

I applaud all of you who have adopted a constructive approach to dealing with this incident. One thing that I would like to suggest is introducing a written exam in order to obtain a racing license, pretty much like obtaining a driving license. Honestly, I am pretty distant from the ruling bodies of cycling in SA, so if this has been suggested before, please forgive me.<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Road cycling is a pretty dangerous sport, people are being injured, sometimes badly, every week in races, and this incident shows that a riders personal safety is often in other peoples hands. In order to race licensed it should not be a matter of just applying for a license and away you go and race. Applicants should have to attend a training course, followed by a written exam, which on passing, they are granted licenses. This can be managed at club or team level. In this way you can teach all cyclists, young and old, all about bunch riding ethics, do?s and don?ts as well as basic road rules (like training on the highway with your bike is illegal). I think this would greatly increase the safety of our racing in SA, as I will be the first to admit that I am not au fait with all the racing rules and bunch etiquette. And Pickles, I truly sympathise with your son and also wish him a speedy recovery, but I don't believe this is a 'race' issue but rather an 'educational' issue.

You capies sound a tad racists there! From this posting on the hub and the ones before this one, can I safely assume no other crashes ever occur in CT besides the ones caused by 'development' riders? Jeez in Gauteng there are crashes every week in our races, so would it be correct to say that the whiteys in Gautend ride their bikes like blacks or that the whiteys in CT are just exceptionally gifted riders that it is just not possible for them to cause any crashes? Skye, I sincerely hope Glyn tells you exactly where to shove your complaint!

Hysterically funny dude

BigH, Stand on the guard yourself if you not happy. That should wake him up

Thug' date=' ride faster in the mornings then you dont have to do the crit [/quote']Someone's gotta make sure that Bored Girl, Zaskar & IanJ don't get lost A quote comes to mind....."...Club Garmin members NEVER, under any circumstance can ever claim to be lost...." and since I belong to them I don't get lost I'm just weak.... BG, you must have lost your mind to have joined Club Garmin

Does anyone out there ride a saddle without any padding such as a carbon only saddle, and what does your bum feel like after a 100k race?

My LBS confirmed there is a problem with the FSA bolts, but apparently there are different bolts that can be used to cure the problem.

Colanal, you sound like a sad little insecure bully with a big fat complex. I bet that in reality you are quite pathetic and that life f**ks you up the ass at every corner, and the only way you can feel 'big' about yourself and feel like a man is to insult people with your gutter mouth while hiding behind the safety of your computer. Dude, your true personality is not very nice and absolutely nothing to be proud of Hmmm, no not atall, I would and will tell you the same thing to your face and ask anyone who knows me they will back that up. Im not scared of you or anyone else for that matter, if I get moered so be it, bruises heal but your ego doesnt. PM me your cell number and I will phone you and tell you and then if you come for the Argus let me know I will tell you to your face. PS: Remember how this all started? Wasnt it cause someone at TCS and your club doped and was caught? Now its my fault??? Joker, you are seriously clutching straws dude its so pathetic. The TCS rider got what he deserved but your attack on the club, sponsor and ever other TCS member was totally out of line and the venom and bile with which it was done shows the size of the chip on your shoulder. The glee you got from kicking someone when they are down, and to be proud of it, speaks volumes of your poor character.
