thats a good one. we can obviously make any ones we want... do you think we should put any pics with that one?

thanks for the info, much appreciated

wow very nice, intense

thanks will keep that in mind

classic

thats a clever one

Thanks uncle Grumpy. The designs are by no means limited or done and dusted. i just want to get a feel to see if the public would be interested in buying t shirts related to cycling... I will be looking at some designs and with your guys input i can start looking at doing the prints and see what they come out like. If you have any ideas let me know

some exaples of what the t-shirts look like. They are 100% cotton. for what thats worth

I like that Covie. I need to come up with new ideas, Cant just copy other people, but im sure between the hubbers we cold come up with some fresh and very interesting ideas! Keep em coming

The supplier told me that its a cotton shirt. 205g - grams so im not sure what that means. I am waiting for a sample to view it myself. Thanks for the comments thus far. If you have any ideas, i would appreciate the input and could even run a small design comp, and feature the winning design? The whole thing is currently just in speculation fase. but lets see where it goes.

here is a better image of the first t shirt

will try higher res pic. but the upload size is limited to 512kb so cant go bigger. I will get the full fabric breakdown and post it here. i am open to ideas for different shirts. could even do custom ones. let me get some details for you guys and ill be right back.

Hey Guys Just want to get a feel if you guys would be interested in something like this, Would you wear it? would you give it to someone as a gift? Price would be in the region of R110. Let me know what you think.

hey guys look out for the highlights show flighting on the 23rd of May on supersport.

im in melkbosstrand. give me a shout when you get here

I did hear this from another friend too. The bad quality, but we were with the sponosrs the whole event as well as CSA (not that it means alot) and we had no complaints. Did you wtch supercycling last night? The same footage was used. It looked good on my tv? How was yours?

Dude. Supersport don't cover races. They get freelance people to film them and have outside broadcast units at most events. Again, why was your picture quality so bad and the ine I was watching fine? Im not trying to get into a typical hub discussion where people start going back and forth. Thought i could give some in insight. Have you noticed this before? Sorry if this didnt answer your questions

Tankman. I dont think you have the right information. There are numerous reasons why the quality was the way it was. Firstly the live broadcast is done by a company who sends out the live signal to supersport. there is nothing wrong with the camera or the footage being sent to the OB van as it is know. So firstly the picture quality was not the issue. The issue is with the company broadcasting the signal. The reason the live pictures had breakup was because of loss of signal due to cloud cover and numerous other reasons. This could also have been avoided a bit better had the director done a proper job. they see the pictures a couple of seconds before it gets sent to the world. So this could have been avoided to a certain extent. As far as the fullscreen and widescreen is concerned. When you see a full screen picture on your tv it means that it is either a 4:3 picture that has now been upscaled to your 16:9 tv or it is being broadcast in 16:9. first check your dstv decoder that its not set to automatically upscale your picture to 16:9. this could be the cause.... They do advertise this on DSTV all the time. The reason the highlights is in 16:9 or widescreen as you see it with the black edges, is because that is the way supersport wants the footage to be sent out so that when you watch it on a standard 4:3 tv you get the full picture and not funny little people who look like stick men. As far as the supersport people trying to do their best to make the picture better....there is no way that they can improve the picture quality after it has been sent to them. If you watch mtb shows on tv you will see that the company who did this do many productions for tv and jobs include the ABSA Cape Epic. so they are not amateurs. I hope this answers some of your questions and every one elses. You are welcome to direct more questions at me and i will answer them. I work in the industry and i watched the live broadcast and the highlight packages. I was also on the TOSA and watched it on different TV's. Hope this clears up some of the queries

I agree with nox1111. He had an experience and wants to share. If other hubbers could learn from it, it is a good thing. Everyone on the hub expresses their feelings now and again and only certain people get lambasted for voicing their opinion. Take away from it what you need to and it might help to call the party in question, but i still think other noobies like myself could learn from his experience.

thanks i thought i was doing a good thing by letting a friend use my bike the weekend. now i am trying to comfort myself in a corner crying! its all your fault! i want my bike back!

i laughed so much. but stupid bar ends got clipped by the branch and over you go

they are totally utterly and completely gross! have a look at this example of why i wont ride with bar ends ever again....

is there anyone in the cape town area that can manufacture something like this for me? i dont know anyone with the correct machines or ability to do it. Thanks

here is the video of the days testing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4TSNveMQ6E

if the 29er is not the better bike to go with, why are all the top pro teams in the 2011 ABSA Cape Epic riding 29ers? do you still think that every brand out there is trying to sell 29ers so much that they force their riders to ride 29ers in arguably one of the worlds toughest races?
