I always try and conduct myself in a ladylike manner and I never use vulgar language under any circumstances. I've found that just by reading the posts and being exposed to the swearing (even disguised) that I'm now starting to swear when I get upset about something. I honestly don't like it at all but what can I do (apart from leave the Hub) as I'm in the minority.
A Hubber asked me to post this on his behalf. Accident on Lakefield Avenue. Luckily no casualties. The rider is the guy on the right. His bike is a badly damaged but fortunately for him the kind Hubber has offered him a new wheel. Dibles2010-02-26 01:02:22
I would also love to be there. I've followed them online through the highs and lows of their journey. It hasn't been an easy one for them. Thanks, I didn't do anything to earn it though. I just supported a worthy cause.
it does' date=' but one could do without the collagen substitute[/quote'] If everything runs smoothly then a trip isn't as exciting. Always nice to have stories to tell or pictures to show.

Contact these guys: http://www.mtbskills.co.za/contact.aspx I've had one-on-one training with them in the past and they are very good. I'm sure they will help you even if you only have a road bike.
Here's a post about doing a tubeless conversion with Racing Ralphs. https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=42723 It does work with Stans but if you read the post by Shamus (Schwalbe rep) you will see it is not recommended by Schwalbe. I only had issues with one of my tyres when I ran a Stans/Oko tubeless setup. I reckon both Stans and Doc Blu would do the job but I am not willing to risk voiding the warranty or picking up issues during a race and that is why I chose to go with the safest option.

Weight Weenie, have you ever used Doc Blu? Schwalbes are not cheap but for me they are worth it. I paid over R600 for a tyre and perhaps you can afford to replace tyres on a very regular basis but I can't therefore a warranty is important to me. Each to their though I guess. Doc Blu works as well as Stans and costs about the same too so why not use it? The tyre of mine that got a bubble had been used for quite a few months so I'm sure if it was a manufacture fault I would have picked it up earlier.
Have a look at the pic here of what happened to one of my Schwalbe tyres as I didn't use Doc Blu sealant: https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=45881&KW=Schwalbe This is on page 3 of the same thread: I have been using Doc Blu ever since and haven't had any issues.
