  1. Agteros. or in English after bull (ie behind the blue bulls) THE cheapest and easiest option is as follows: 1 x 3W LED downlight (under R200 at ABC Electronics) 1 x 1.5W LED (Cluster) Downlight (under R100 at Lightening hardware store) 2 x7 cm 50mm plumbers PVC pipe 2 x pipe coupling (builders warehouse) 2 x pipe end (builder warehouse) some switchs and wire 2 times PVC shoulder clamp 2 times bit of steel A length of self fusing tape 1 x 12v battery (abought R80) Slap it all together and you have a light for less than R400. USe a standard car battery recharger to recharge. If ypou wanna see an example visit blue bull country.
  2. To spend my birthday in the company of SWD officials, oh wonderful.
  3. If you listen, and follow to JB's comments, the cheapest slicks will be just fine. If you are doing the Cape Epic and ask this question, you should be giving your entry to someone else, (like me)
  4. when are you taking orders?
  5. THE SANDF champs was used as a dry run for some of the route.
  6. Since when was a fun ride in Slaapstad the "premier Cycle race" of South Africa? Hell it is a fun ride. Talk about WP delusions.
  7. Haa haa... TB humor!! lol... I have fallen of my Bikecycle a few times for no apparent reason... I promise I will let everyone know if I fall of the Slapper... my concern is that you won't tell us if you fall off for no apparent reason.... SP are you volunteering for something here?
  8. said some rather nasty things about the management of SA rugby, something about their inability to understand or speak english properly. I think his medical diagnosis was "lost in translation". He said that he feels ill whenever he has to play for the springbok side. Translated into "Ek wil kots op die springbok".
  9. nope - you loose your cycling noob status ONLY with cycling related incidents... that is what i was trying to say What if I have fallen off a few times for no apparent reason? fallen off which bike "for no apparent reason"??? is there something you've not been telling us???? Poenster riding a 24hr race on the same team as slowpoke also bestows mtb cred on you.
  10. Noob status can also be removed by riding some really difficult or popular race well, like Sabie Experience, Dirtopia, Cape Epic ext. ALthough if you are first a successful roadie, that bad karma will follow you every where, and hard core MTBkers will always refer to you as a Noob or a roadie or a lot of less pleasant things. Mtb cred comes from more than just racing. HR vouches for beer drinking. Spidy was known for fairy hunting. (ie being able to (on a mtb) chase and pass roadies). Lappies got a lot of cred for winning the CV at the Telkom challenge.
  11. On the bike or on me? both' date=' just make sure that there are people to see the crash[/quote'] MAN IT SUX TO BE A NOOB STILL!!!!!! urk... please note that this applies to cycling only... Please tell us more...........
  12. On the bike or on me? both' date=' just make sure that there are people to see the crash[/quote'] MAN IT SUX TO BE A NOOB STILL!!!!!! This can be solved. Go cycle at Groenkloof and Klapperkop.
  13. On the bike or on me? both, just make sure that there are people to see the crash
  14. It was hillarious, and once he had exploded his front wheel, he then proceeded to destroy his rear with the same antics. Groenkloof was a blast that day.

    One HOT bike

    white is always an interesting colour for a MTB. I prefer white because I am a lazy slob, and only wash my bikes when they start looking really dirty. White bikes always seem to look dirty. Therefore, against my character and personality, I now wash my bike regularly
  16. You only a noob until you have broken something.
  17. If you leave your bike with the valves at the top for a day, then the sludge will rest away from the valve and then you can deflate your tyres without sludge creating problems. HOWEVER, if your valves leaked in the last while, then DR SLudge has sealed your valve. YOu may have to pump in a little air to push the blockage out. THis can be dangerous!!!! I have seen a guy blow his tyres and tubes trying to do this.
  18. Collin, here is a suggestion the energy suppliment/ sport suppliment market is more than just energy gels. Some guys prefer to use drink mixes over gels. I have a friend that actually mixes his gels with water in his water bottle. Also there is a bit of brand loyalty. If one USN/breakthrough/PVM product works then there is a tendence to stick to that manufacturer when buying other products (there is a belief that there is compatitbility between products from one manufacturer) ALthough you have a brilliant product (where is my free sample and are you willing to sponsor clubs) it is not supported by other products in a range. Although it is not always wise to diversify when you have a winner, in this case I would recommend it. Vooma was independent and taken over by USN. PVM/Energy dynamics also has energy bars, and drinks. Even GU has diversified. Good Luck.
  19. just for the little bit you mostly own.
  20. I agree totally, that is why, "hold your line" is rarely spoken in the licenced bunch, and there are more rather animated debates when a guy does something wrong. (direct justice, rather than group falls).
  21. oiy! i trade-marked that action at tour de soweto!!!! find your own manouvre to prove the road is yours! so wait - i have a car and 3 motorbikes - so i own the most road here!!!!!!! Africa is truely a tough country.
  22. there is a diference between sitting on a guys wheel and shoving your shifter (handlebars) up is ar$e.
  23. and the coloured girls godoo' date=' doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo [/quote'] and it won't leave you head for the rest of the day..... doo, doo, ... doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo? doo you really need to keep on with this (until we get to the next verse) doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo? try Garbage: "You an alien sex fiend" KonaFan2008-10-29 03:07:00
