  1. What Crasher? A crash? Good that you're back on the bike!
  2. You've been down almost as long as I was already! It was many weeks ago that I saw you in the post office and you were already not all that well!!
  3. I guess you don't like your bike as much as you claimed you did, otherwise you would be on it all the time . That's what happens when you ride an invisible scary bike!!
  4. Awesome! Done! I'll bring some Ouma rusks and hope they don't get confiscated!
  5. Hey Roons, maybe I'll pop up for a visit with my bike late June, for a spin, as I'll be visiting family in Oakville anyway. Are you in Barrie?
  6. ...and the spare cassette on the front! Where in Canada are you?
  7. That snow bike looks fantastic! Look at that tiny crank!
  8. Is the snow hard by the time you ride on it, or is it like riding on mud? How about grip - I've seen some chaps on tyres with steel studs, maybe for ice? Nice pics!
  9. Get well soon Crasher!
  10. It may be out-of-the way, but I was almost caught by three would-be muggers on the road between Devon and Delmas last week. It was a 300Km Paris-Brest-Paris qualifying audax, and I had broken free of the group at some point, and was solo. About 5-10Km out of Devon towards Delmas, three youths walking along the road towards me split, and I ended up having to cycle between them. Being a bit suspicious of such things after a bikejacking at gunpoint two years back, I suddenly felt the need to speed up when I was about 20m away. In my mind, it was just as well, as one of them rushed to grab me or something out of my back pocket as I passed, but missed. Who knows if it was opportunistic, but be aware of this sort of cr@p if you're cycling in the area!
  11. +1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  12. I've looked around but there are few to beat the overall range in the stuff that matters to me, and on my average basket, I'm satisfied that I'm getting a good deal most- if not all the time. To me, convenience, one-stop shopping, good to great overall pricing and good service when I need it (I'm a veteran of nearly 70 orders over four years!) make CRC a winning customer value proposition. I personally couldn't be bothered to do bits and pieces trying to get the lowest price on every item - it's the overall package that counts most in my mind!
  13. Sour grapes! Pathetic! Go CRC!
  14. Oh my word!!! Not too many of those masterpieces around!
  15. yep, I had the task of keeping ours moist this Christmas . Intoxicating ! But seriously, I also find this stuff to be good energy food - any half decent fruitcake will do!
  16. Awesome! Gonna be well soon - will be hellova out of shape, but can't wait!
  17. Poor show! Now I've got the onerous task of trying to unknot my koeksister - however, better a knotted koeksister than a broken pip!
  18. haha, maybe you're trying the stuff that hasn't got enough brandy in
  19. oops, surely there must be an explanation! Maybe he gave it away as a souvenir to a persistent fan!
  20. Not sure, but they're always present in the groups upfront!
  21. Sounds like a bunch of girls in here! Dude, if it makes you happy, just do it, unless you really need the affirmation!
  22. FanieFiets, sorry, couldn't read your post, something stuck in my eye!
  23. Hey you okes, you're scaring the newbies away from the sport! Geez, it gets scary out there doesn't it!
  24. I am using a few of the A-range (entry-level) and the X-range (midrange), and I am very impressed with the bulletproofness and low power use (read looooong battery life, saving that awful faf of keeping things charged or topped up with new batteries!) of of these things. The best thing about the X-range is the second trip meter, forwards and backwards, which is superb for navigation. The Z-series didn't impress at all, and worst of all, then it broke! Not impressed. It hasn't changed my thoughts about the A or X at all though!
