  5. I heard that the big C was disgruntled because they sold more bikes to TCS and their fans than Barloworld fans !!!!

    YES !! gone from "N" to "L" after 2 races. (Ja, I know it's not "A" but it's progress) BMC Fan - watch this space! Soon I'll be riding with the "G" group - I hope, I pray, I wish, Pleez !!!
  7. With today's shaped saddles with cut-outs etc, it takes quite a bit of fine tuning to get the correct "level" on the saddle. Years ago it was simply a matter of using a spirit level. I normally start with a spirit level in the center and have it tilted slightly downwards at first and then tweak it during the ride.
  8. This may have been covered before, but I didn't see it and I don't want to hijack the "What Wheels" thread, so my question is - what is the optimal pressure to pump clinchers to. I always pump to the maximum recommended on the side wall (Gp4000 is 120psi) due to being a heavier rider. Are their real benefits to this as opposed to 100psi or less? I always thought it would improve puncture resistance and RR although at the expense of comfort and (possibly) handling?
  9. I have a small bicycle shed In which is my beloved bicycle AND my bed For all the money I have spent Was on my beloved bike instead!! Sorry, all I could think of at such short notice !!!

    I have found that it helps (although not always easy) NOT to look at the hot chick in the car next to you at the robot!!!
  11. Hey ewep, he wouldn't have won. A hectic sprint after you've crossed the finish line means nothing !
  12. Jeez HR, I see you have overtaken ewep on posts already. Mmmmm - I wonder what would have happened if you weren't "sucker punched" !!!!
  13. he'll probably say no and then you'll find him at the end saying he won !!!
  14. Looks like he didn't need my help at all. !!!
  15. And the winner in the race to 4000 posts is....ewep sorry HR, but it looked like ewep sucker punched you pretending that he was not going to make a run for it !!! much like sucking wheel for 80km and then sprinting for the line !
  16. Answer this and ypou will have 4000 posts - well done !!!!
  17. of course it helps if you forget about trying to make sense and sound intelligent on every post a lot of nonsense as well (becomes easier after 300 posts I am told). Here are 3 simple rules to follow: a) If you have something intelligent to post, don't hesitate - post immediately, b) if you have nothing intelligent to post, don't hesitate - post nonsense immediately, c) If you have nothing at all to add - think of something, anything, and post immediately
  18. But you see, I had an old Colnago Titanium that was actually a bit big (55cm) for me at 1.76m tall (now ride a 52). Miss the old titanium Colnago but still have my old Colnago Tecnos to drool over the paint, lugs and specially formed tubing
  19. the enquiry was about bike/frame advice needed. Wanted to know if I should go Carbon or Titanium. Some said Carbon & some Titanium So I bought aluminium !!
  20. I honestly think it is a weight issue with the Thoork but, if the replacement works well, someone may be able to pick up an almost new (about 500km only) Selle Italia Thoork Gel Flow at a good price. Watch this space - or probably another, maybe, possibly, I think !
  21. I didn't think about THAT !!
  22. Don't you find it strange that when Asonic is posting Gasant is nowhere to be found, and when Gasant is posting Asonic is AWOL? Maybe it's the same person with muliple personalities ????
  23. Flippin 'ell - another 3900 + hubber who is NOT addicted racman2007-10-31 08:08:18
  24. Yeh HR, at 3946 posts I agree that there is no possible way that you could even remotely be considered to be addicted - NOT !!!!!!!!
