  1. For me, I will use it for the race, but most important to do: 1) Take it for proper bike set-up. 2) Sign insurance for it. 3) Take it for 2hrs ride with few short sprints.
  2. That is crap! Why don't they use 4 wheelers to get to the injured riders? No excuses!! I noticed that lots of people who does W2W, or Epic or J2C, have lots of money and they moan too much! Just do it! They could have more check-ups points and make sure the riders are okay or not!
  3. Get rid of monkeys at CSA... They must do their job properly in first place.... They must realise that "Hard work pays off.."
  4. Ja, They nearly robbed me last Wednesday afternoon in between town and Paardin Eland. I managed to ride thru quickly. I will rather cycle on N1 than cycle lane for my safety....
  5. We get e-mails every week from PPA and they did not warn us when is the closing date??? They only put "entries open" They should remind us like that:- "entries open & remember closing date is 2 Nov 2010"
  6. I entered 6 months ago and I am not sure if I am entered??? How will I find out if my name is still on or not??
  7. I don't have problem with those tyres and I used stans. I used them for 6 months- no problems!
  8. Ja, just take out tube and put on yellow tape around it and put tubeless valve, then add stans and pump it ready!
  9. I ride it and the frame is fantastic and stiff. The wheels are quite heavy, but strong. I managed to upgrade to lighter wheels. I am very happy with it.
  10. Cyclelab should have ask him to drop his ID book or his personal stuff before he goes testing... like car testing....
  11. SL is fantastic for racing and TCR is perfect for training. SL is lighter than TCR.. If you race alot, go for SL. If you don't race alot, go for TCR...
  12. Safer to swim in Marina da Gama near Muizenberg with no sharks.....
  13. Most bicycle shop tells me that they can't repair it... I understand why, because it will take them over 1 hr to repair and they can't charge us +-R300 to repair it. It is cheaper to buy new one...
  14. Where will I find new map of new route of the race? I hear the start is on way to Robertson?
  15. Off course! We are all mad! Ha! ha! I ride 4:45am in the mornings (cold and dark). It is quite fun and adventure!
  16. I also had same problems and back and forward to workshop - not happy with service and waste my time. Why pay for *** service? Lots of bike shops use cheap unqualified mechanics. I had to go the hard way and work on my own bikes now. I buy tools a piece a time.
  17. I feel like to borrow the Specialized tandem for the Argus 1012...
  18. Your frame looks awsome and fantastic and F__k! You rode away from 3 of us up Red hill and Ou Kaapse Weg this morning. I wonder if there is motor in it...
  19. CSA vs CSA confuses me because Cycling South Africa vs Cricket South Africa???
  20. 2 years ban is not enough! Rather 10years or life.... They never want to learn... Look at Tyler, Riccardo and etc..
  21. I would love to do Epic, Sani and JOberg and many more, but I can't afford to do them. One guy spoke on TV at Sani and he talks *** because he said, the race is for everyone. I say, it is only for the riches who can afford...
  22. Neil should do what the cash converters does? They always make copies of your ID book when they buy something from sellers, so that the police can track the criminals... He should be more professional salesman...
  23. I wonder if PPA got confused with seedings! It sounds like strong riders will start at back and weak riders start at the front. Maybe they expect everybody to finish at same time....
  24. They invited me to take part 75km, but the price is too high, so I entered in 60km. I find it is quite strange that they put me in D group and I came top 50 in the last 3years at Burger MTB. How does the seeding works??? I will have to pass lots of tortosie riders... Aanyway!
