  1. You just know its Argus season. The number of idiots cycling on the roads lately without helmets, all over the road, "training groups" without a clue, squeeky bikes, baggy shorts and helmets in coffee shops. You take your life into your hands sharing the road with these induviduals. Give me the taxi's anyday
  2. It could be a few things, that you need to check methodicaly. I suggest that you go to the Parktool website, it has a good section on deraileur adjustment.
  3. Words cannot discribe just how this transends art
  4. Tighten the cones very gently, very little turns, if you overtighten you could do some damage.
  5. I had same issue, I just tightened the cones a bit and it went away
  6. This is what I have done for the last few years, its one of the only times that you get to ride with the wife. Also my house is on the course so I dont have an option, I have to ride along the course if I want to get home. I take my transponder off and ride again. For the record I dont stop for anything on the first lap, I dont think anyone in A- G stops at all.
  7. Next time go to the rack with the tubes and levers, take said tube and levers, go the checkout and ask to pay, sometimes you just need to be a bit more proactive. The sales assistants may have seen you looking around at other stuff and thought that you were just browsing.
  8. I am well pleased by the decision, I listened to bits of the judgement and it sounded pretty well resoned. Problem is that now Zuma takes the matter to the Constitutional Court and we go the whole thing again. Mshini wami
  9. I bought an 05 raleigh, the wheel-build was rubbish, I was breaking spokes on every ride, took the bike back to the shop where I bought it and they rebuilt the wheels with new spokes (no charge of course)
  10. Wonder why?
  11. The bottom line is, is this going to reduce bank charges in SA. NO WAY! The Banking Cartel may tweek some of their charges to save face but they will simply redistibute the charges and we will end up paying the same high fees.
  12. Giant Anthem X1 gets my vote
  13. You could always spray over your shoulder to shake the wheelsuckers
  14. Damn that is a sweet looking gruppo. Pitt that I have just put a new shimano group on my ride. I just dont like the downshift button system. shimano and sram have the right idea in that respect. Where does this fit into the range in comparison to Ultegra, DA / Force, Red / Record, spagetti
  15. I have never had a empty gu sachet leak into my pocket, why you ask, because the damn thing is empty, suck it dry and it wont leak, thats what they call a "no-brainer". Perhaps if is also because I use the more viscous ones like Hammer and Gu
  16. I want to pay this guy to ride my routes. I wish there was some way to get traffic dept. or people who get involved in road accidents to clean the resultant glass out of the road.
  17. I dont see what makes mozilla so great, I loaded it up and was not impressed, had to install so many add ons to get it working ie is far more user friendly.
  18. PPWTF surely if you combine diferent types of sugar to increase the uptake, you are boosting the spike not flattening it. Also Powerbar "research"? I take any research done with marketing in mind with a pinch of salt
  19. You could just have dirt lodged in the cable houseing, remove the cable and see if you can operate the shifter
  20. Rookie, I sympathize with your situation, but on the flip side, My business sufferes when my clients dont pay or pay late, its about cashflow, lost income, interest, etc which then impacts on my paying clients. I therefore have to take a hard line with non payers, sounds brutal I know but I also have bills to pay and a family to support.
  21. You can ride on Table Mtn on and below Tafelberg Road, and between Rhodes Mem and Kloof Road
  22. Unfortunatly Tokai Forest can be accessed very easily from the Westlake Township. I would advise that you rather park at the Spar in Tokai Road or the Reddam shopping centre then ride to the forest.
  23. The big question is, will a rider on a Cervelo great a rider on a Silverback?
  24. Who won?
