  1. I know 2 deaf riders with coehlear implant and both gave up cycling, not sure why? One of them can't cycle in straight line, maybe it affects him. I am also deaf and it is not worth it for my age, but for children, maybe.. You must think hard before going for it because I know half of them did not work out. Maybe too old with bad habits... You can e-mail me and I can forward those 2 guys cell number and you can ask them questions.. You can
  2. Remember we need to remember that Devil loves Money and being fame, we forget about God and that is where we go downhill. We need to focus on God, not money....
  3. Hansie Cronje's brother... Frans is fantastic guy and he did alot for cycling. He is doing God's work... See his movies of Hansie, Barodeur, etc
  4. I rode 75km in Burger MTB race and I use 32 on front and 11-34 at the back. It was fantastic and I ran out of energy on last climb. I struggled with 34, so I better change to 11-36. It will work perfectly.. Happy with it..
  5. I had same problem last year and I went for cortiscone injection twice. It only helped for short time, so I went for an operation. It took a while to heal. Check your handlebar width - too narrow. I changed from 600mm to 700mm - Much better. Raise your handlebar a bit, to avoid too much pressure on forearms. I do lots of cad work, so I started to use left hand mouse and it works...
  6. I find thin spanners so expensive for the opening up the hub or BB30. It cost +-R80 each, so I bought cheap spanners from second hand shop. I used angle grinder to make it thinner and it worked for me.
  7. I hate when someone who support dopers... Rather support the riders that are clean... I hate Discovery anyway!
  8. It is difficult to believe that the riders are clean this year because in 10 years time they will admit that they all took drugs.. I believe that they must ban all the riders, or doctors or coach or manager who took drugs in the past and they are not allowed to be involved in cycling because they know how to cheat and they teach young ones to cheat.... It never stops....
  9. I don't understand why must the person who completed the Epic race, must buy "special top". They should get it for free, because they pay thousands on entry fee???? Epic is becoming worst ripp-off and is only for the people who have millions.... Sad! How can average person show he can do well....
  10. You can ask Cyclelab shop in town for any bearings - reasonable price
  11. Why don't a bike shop get machine to refill up, so that we can only pay R5 to refill instead of paying close to R20 and dump it to waste!!!
  12. Trail & Tar along Tokai road, have rides every Wednesday evening at 6pm and you can chat to them and find suitable group.
  13. CSA should show us what did they do with the money... We have the rights to know what happened to the money...
  14. R75 per year to CSA is nothing! R6,25 per month! What is the problem? We need to see more of our riders in Tour de France....
  15. Try get a light for R700 plus spare battery +-R300 = R1000.... Off you go!
  16. Hancook said it will take them 3 years to get tyres ready for Formula! So the drivers will have to use old tyres from back yards for the next 2 years.... Ha! ha!
  17. What will happen if Pirelli pull out at the end of the year? So next year all the drivers will be without tyres!!! What is all the fuss about limit testing on tyres! The offical needs to think about safety...
  18. You cannot blame PPA for kids safety! I blame ANC because the police and traffic law and taxi are useless nowadays! Can you explain how can PPA improve cycling safety?? My dream is that we have cycling paths from south suburb to Cape Town next to De Waal drive.... Can't TMP support and PPA build cycling paths...
  19. Good Points!I will support PPA, if they give us better prize money in the league races..... What is wrong with them?
  20. PPA investing R200 000 per month.. Wow! Enough money:- - to send riders to overseas - better prize money in leagues I feel PPA should work under CSA and improve our future!
  21. Can you see the snow on the mountains? Ouch! It will be colder this coming weekend...
  22. You can buy a police helcopter toy and tie to handlebar. Your son can press it the button and it will make sirens. That toy drives my wife mad....
  23. Does Wagih Azzam cycle before? Which country is he from in Africa?
  24. In the past, I always complain that the service bills are too high and the mechanic don't do their job properly. Now I try to buy all the bearings and spare chains and cassette and keep as back-up! I try to service myself and get help from friends who knows. It saves me alot and I have only myself to be blamed, if something goes wrong, not the mechanics...
