Not sure if it was mentioned yet but the topic is "AMP - south africa's greatest ever female cyclist"
How the hell did you guys jump to all the male cyclists, did they all have a sex change that I didn't know of .... ?

I have mine for a while now (bought used) and zero issues so far.

Shortening is a very complicated and laboursome job. You cannot just drill a hole and tap it.
It is quite easy and safe to just fix the loose insert.
the hardest is cleaning the cavity, then drilling a hole to inject resin into the cavity formed by the loose insert and then keeping it aligned while setting, so that your pedal does not have a wobble.
Graeme can fix it back to perfect for you, check his instagram, he has done it loads before.
And PS, stop using crank boots.
Agree. The insert was bonded in there originally anyway. No reason why its not possible for a carbon expert to build up and bond it in again.

Promise they're good. Other people drive them in other countries, some even race with them.
They have Michelin tyres, and leather seats.
Promise they're worth R1.4mil if you compare them with cars that cost R1.4mil.
Are you starting to see how pointless this discussion is without knowing the brand? If it's a Ferrari I'm selling, absolute win. If it's a wang chong fui with ferrrary stickers on it, not so much.
Agree, its not possible to give any kind of opinion or general commitment if we have no clue about the actual product. It may be a bust it maybe not, but before we don't know this ... pfff !

Component specs is one thing, but the frame is critical in this discussion.
Agree, need more info on the frame please.

My sympathy, but you got yourself into that one .... ????
The problem is there are some cyclists that do behave like idiots when on the road, giving everyone else a bad name.
Once a motorist had one bad experience with one group of cyclists they are anti-bike towards everyone for ever.
Bottom line, lets do our part not to antagonize these idiots that simply can not be objective.

I can only see a possible medal from the 4x100m men, which starts on thursday.
with three making the semi final, we've surely got a shot here. (USA and GBR also had 3 at this stage,)
anything else that could sneak in?
Its a long shot, but we have some good marathon runners (men & woman), just maybe someone can pull a "Josia Thugwane".

Agree, Cogent is the way to go.

When this is managements view you know that they are totally incapable of the job expected to be done and should never be there in that environment.
as said in a previous post - same old same old every year and until athletes band together and take a stance and make sure people are held accountable, can’t see anything change going forward.
Its really very sad!!! Looking at how well other nations support their athletes, its extremely disappointing that ours are simply NOT.
Awesome to see, she will never forget that moment.

IF yes, how long is the leadtime to receive the parts?
I did manage to get a parcel through SAPO via Alliexpress last month, and yes it took very long, something like 30+ days (lost track).
It is a lot more expensive, but I will not buy again without a known courier.

Yip, I called it, well done Tatjana!!! As a fellow old UP student, it warms the heart. That's what it take for a South African to medal, extraordinary individual brilliance. Unfortunately the administrators and support are severely lacking.

Yes shame, he was very upset at the time.

on her insta you will find sailing, and lots of cyc;ling pics clearly part of the training regime, these are very physical boats to handle
I done very little sailing in my life before but do recall it can be extremely physically demanding!

I call it "Dowe Egbert". Hope that doesn't offend anyone ...
Just now, Mountain Bru said:Did you try say Spez or spez?
"Sp a z" but it get auto changed to "Spez".
3 minutes ago, Mountain Bru said:@FootballingCyclist,
In think in that case, it was actually calling Spez "Spez". My understanding after that discussion was that Spez is fine, but Spez can be seen as being insensitive. Could be wrong though.
I recall "Sp a z" being the issue, I might be wrong!
Edit: "Sp a z" are being autocorrected to Spez consistently.
4 minutes ago, gemmerbal said:yes they look very similar indeed! you say it works 100's for home use? at the moment im using a manual espresso machine with a separate grinder, it works fine, but SARS smiled on me and I'm thinking "why not..."
Yes 100 cement for home use, I use mine everyday, I'm a bit of a addict. Its about 8 years old still going strong. Had it serviced a month ago for the first time.
1 minute ago, Shebeen said:I've only watched her 100m final.
What I don't understand is that if she seems to be even better suited to the 200m, how did she tire and get overhauled in the 100m? Did the alaskan swim some bizarre negative split?
Not sure, I missed the race. 100m is a "short all out effort", maybe bad reaction time or timing on the touch down. She clearly said the 200m is her better event, lets hold thumbs.
