throw them all in a heap. In this way if one or two get lost or stolen, you will not notice until you need it, and then it is too late to get angry. If you put it up on a board, then every time someone "loans" your tools then you will get the blixem in when you see the gap.

bicycle were first used in war by the Americans in Cuba (as transport and crowd protection). They were then organised and used in a conventional war in the Anglo Boer war by both sides. Danie Theron was the first to come up with tyre liners. He convinced Kruger to set up a bicycle corps by proving that the bicycle was faster than a horse in a race. O yes, remember the military mtb race on saterday 22 Nov 09 (Shameless plug for my clubs race) Entries will be taken at the event (if you ask nicely) THe rain has washed out some of the "very easy" bits. Now described as "not so easy, but still easy".

I like. Mow to work out a pivot system to make it dual syspension, and keep the belt tension.

In the DRC, especially Goma, Bukavu and Uvira, you can catch bicycle taxi's. You sit on the carrier on the back, and the taxi peddlar cycles you around. Motor cars are few and far.

What a steal.

Make, model, comments.

After all the "jealously makes you nasty" on a previous thread, the real question is "How much of what you "own" actually belongs to the BANK". It is easy to ride a fancy racer when the bank manager is funding it. As a wise person said, "don't envy how much a guy owns, rather ask how much he owes." So your complete debt is? (includes car, house, studies, ext ext)

I am not a fan of quads myself. I have hear to many bad stories about them. Also I have observed those on quads and concluded that they are unsafe. However, that is for me, there are those out there that can handle them. I am concerned that the parents, who seem to be quad riders, were willing to let the kid on a quad in an unsafe environment. But under pressure parents do make mistakes. Lesson to be learn, even kids take time to learn new skills. Slowly does it.

Okay, if the tyre of a tubbie is the same as the tyre of a clincher, there should be no difference in tyre protection aganist punctures. But we know that in reality tubbie tyres tend to be more "racing" tyres and thus less "protected" than clinchers

you obviously ride the wrong trails. HR is very friendly at Groenkloof.

Pumtures. mmm THE first step to get them is to cycle over glass or thorn or rock. Second step is that sharp point needs to get through the tyre to the tube. So do tubes or climches puncture more? Now how does the manner that a tyre is connected to a rim affect its rubber side? It does not. So the question needs to be rephrased. It is common knowledge that tubes have thinner inner tubes, so when a sharp point gets through the tyre it will have a greater chance of puncturing the latex or thin tube in a tubby, than the thicker tube used in a clincher. It is commonly accepted that tubbies have less rubber (racing tyre) than a conventional clincher (so on a theoretical scale they are diferent in more than one way) So it is easier for glass ext to penetrate the tyre on a tubbie. Lastly, with the tubbie used in a race where the focus is on racing and not riding, tubbies may be handled harsher than clinchers on a training ride. So do tubbies puncture more: Yes if you accept that clinchers are treated with more care, are more robust tyres, and have thicker tubes in them than tubbies. but if you compare apples with apples then the means of connection with the rim should not make a difference in the punctures.

Thanks Dirtbreath for saying it' date=' I was afraid I would pee of some of the cyclist, and I have to agree, hubbers are awesome people! [/quote'] It is not that cyclists are unfriendly per se. Rather, it is difficult to look dignified when you are pushing a lighter than a feather road machine up a 2% gradient thinking "this would have been easier to do without the bike and cycling shoes". To be friendly to runners and pedestrians (especially 90 year old grannies carrying their monthly shopping) that pass you, in these circumstances, is obviously very difficult. Furthermore when you are decending a hill on a very jittery racing machine (designed for experienced pro racers) at over 80km/hr (that is faster than the speed limit, and what you will allow Jeeves to drive the rolls), it is suicide to let go of the handle bars. Ps, the smile is actually a panic induced grimace. To slow down would mean letting a kid on a P&P special pass you.

I greet almost every type of pedestrian and velopede. The reason for this is because I commute the same route everyday. I want to create a friendly corridore to work. A guy will be more willing to help a familiar face than a stranger, so this is a bit of old school insurance. I even chat to strangers about their dogs at stop streets.

and the capetonians will get around to replying in a coupla weeks? You mean the hub works in Slaapstad Nothing "Works" in Slaapstad. Things just "happen"

Interesting topic: Some summaries: THe rich Joburg hubbers (ie the guys with expensive bikes) say: "Jealously makes you nasty" THE fit hubbers say: "Clothing does not maketh the man" (all bling no bang) The poor hubbers (middle class) say: "A fool and his money are easily parted" THe east randers say:"one mans rubbish is another mans gold" (ie boy are we going to enjoy buying this guys stuff (at discount) from him on the hub when he quits after his first race) The Pretoria hubbers:"cut your coat to fit your cloth" and "each to his own". meaning buy what you can afford and celebrate others successes.

http://www.dailypeloton.com/epo.asp after reading through all the technical data the conclusion was: CONCLUSION Nutritional imbalances imposed from caloric restriction, overhydration, excessive supplemental calcium or inositol, dietary oxalates or phytates from dark green leafy vegetables or whole cereal grains, and lack of hypoxic interval training are factors which may inhibit the optimal natural production of Erythropoietin [EPO]. Manipulating diet, hydration, supplements, exercise intensity, and rest in order to maximize EPO for optimal hematocrit and oxygen carrying capacity is not without risk when HCT is above 48%. Why limit hematocrit to 48%? When hematocrit levels exceed 48%, risk of insulin resistance syndrome and stroke exponentially increase. Men with hematocrits of 48 percent or higher have an fourfold-increased rate of non-insulin-dependent-diabetes mellitus, according to a study from Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine in London. They followed over 7,000 middle-aged men for more than 12 years, and discovered that the risk of diabetes increases as the hematocrit increases. [10] The upper recommended levels for a female is 45%. Nutritional interventions and exercise balance are key to provoking optimal, not excessive levels of EPO. Nutritional and training interventions for resolving low EPO levels need to be periodically monitored to determine progress toward normal reference ranges of no higher than 48% in men, 45% in women. Regular physician-diagnostic blood labs are well advised to confirm if such strategies are appropriate for resolving deficiencies and/or preventing performance inhibition.
