  1. It is difficult for the club to check each members... Maybe near the future, the club members must have number logo at the back of the top, so that one can report it to club and the club can sort that person out...
  2. Be careful not to fight back! Not worth it. Rather wave and smile! I remember few years back, one cyclist got angry, he slapped the bakkie window of the driver, who nearly put him off the road. The driver came out of the bakkie with real axe, so the cyclist had to cycle for dear his life! Luckily he managed to escape...
  3. Ask Gary Fisher who started MTB
  4. I do have spare speed sensor, so how much do you want to pay for it?
  5. You don't need spped sensor if you have powertap hub wheel. I use powertap hub wheel for training and speed sensor for racing. Try remove your powertap hub away from CPU and speed sensor. It should pick up! Go to setup 5 and make sure, change from watts to speed.
  6. Did you hear that 3 MTN pro guys went down breaking bones because of potholes....
  7. Anybody who use Garmin Edge 500 with powertap! Any problems or not???
  8. I use my motorbike on M3 everyday between Tokai and Cape Town. I do understand what is the problem. The traffic cop told me that I can go thru the traffic, but the speed must not be more than 40km/hr. But there are crazy bikers who do over 40km/hr.. I just pray for them because the graveyard is waiting for them... I also notice some drivers don't check at the back, they just want to jump the gaps without using indicators. Most of them use cellphone all the time and they don't concentrate enough....
  9. Wow! Now we must support the sponsor who put money in cycling.. Can't wait!
  10. Ha! ha! I renewed my membership about 3 weeks ago and I don't hear from them yet??? I still don't understand why do we have PPA in Western Cape, but in Joburg, Natal and Eastern Cape, they don't have PPA???? How do they do it?
  11. Look at Basso, Came back to win Tour of Italy.....
  12. Why is clothing is so expensive - 45%? It does not make sense.....
  13. I don't find both of them interesting. I notice that Ride is more from Joburg and Bicycling is more from Cape Town. I am sick tired of seeing Mighty mouse in both magazines every month. We need to hear or find out more on new rising young riders and their life. I also want to hear more about ex-pro riders, what happened to them??
  14. What will happen if Contador still beat Armstrong this year? That means he can't retire until he beat Contador.....
  15. Ha! ha! What happened to Luke! You got dropped on the climbs... I like Saxo Bank clothing! Let me know cost of Vat and customs.... I am ashamed of Bafana bafana.... It was so funny if they have to play without goalkeeper....
  16. It is better to stay 6,8kg weight limit, otherwise I will go bankrupt Ha! ha! I noticed that lots of teams using lighter bikes, so they add powertap with it.
  17. I also got it from Deal Extreme and it took 3 weeks to deliver here. Paid R608 for it and they delivered for free. I had to pay R107 for vat and customs. It is far better than Hope Vision 1 and Sigma Karma Pro.... I am very happy with it and thinking of ordering another one as back-up....
  18. It is very tough and last year it was perfect weather, but on the year before it was so muddy and I struggled to change the gears. There are some single tracks and jeep tracks. Lots of climbing.....
  19. Did she notice the photographer or not? Why did she not to speak to Andrew before sueing him? Maybe she needs quick money?
  20. Soft tail is for comfort and long ride like sani or Epic. Hard tail is for fast and short ride and lightweight...
  21. At the expo, they gave us wrong free livestrong band. They could give us black one instead of yellow one.
  22. I am not sure if the government or council are doing something about how to make the road safer. They talks too much, but nothing is done. Example:- Look at the main road between Muizenberg and Fish hoek. They are busy repairing the road, but no cycling paths yet??? How many cyclists use that road?? I feel they should add extra line for cyclist, if they repair or build new road....
  23. I did sub 3hrs in the Argus with Gator skin tyres before. Not much difference! just your legs & minds.....
  24. I agree that the ladies must race on their own. Last year in the Argus, lots of ladies opened the gap of the bunch which makes the race harder. If the ladies want to compete in the world, they must be able to race on their own. (push into limits without any help)
  25. Not really! It might be a team work....
