  1. He will be devestated. Can I offer you a Lance Armstrong-endorsed PowerBand, Sir?
  2. Not the first time DarkDonkey has shot his/her mouth off here, I doubt there will be a follow up this time either. That is not the way of the coward.
  3. Comment: Tell me what they are doing wrong ("everything" is not an answer), in your opinion. Then, we can possibly discuss rather than trashing the hard-working Austins.
  4. They can re-brand it Wrecked-em Cream
  5. I think BigH is a closet Muslim mountain biker... but seriously - I see very few here in Gautengaleng, but many when riding in the Cape. Of course, I am judging this on appearance, so I may be wrong. Just the feeling I get.
  6. Has Pat McQuaid arranged Lance's 'special clearance' then?
  7. I reckon she is a crack addict.
  8. Don't feed the troll. I love it when a blogger's first ever post is warning you you will be shocked because he is opinionated. Buddy, if you have to tell us you are opinionated, you probably aren't actually, you are just a chop. Guaranteed to run out of opinions in a matter of minutes.
  9. Let's hope, if it gets that far, Carte Blanche does a better job of telling both sides of the story than they did with the USN/Biogen/supplements debacle - I would hate to tune in only to see what a nuisance cyclists are on the road.
  10. 6. You are spoken for. See how a quickie is out of the question.
  11. My life is over. I agree with Professor Bornman. Stronger/more dominant hand = most controllable hand = best option to modulate/least likely to do something stupid in an emergency = best option for most effective (front) brake.
  12. Hendrik Lemmer put on at least 150g in the last ten years, so you must be right.
  13. It isn't his chip you should worry about, it is that bloody great turbocharger...
  14. It looks identical to last year's stand.
  15. According to the internet, if you look for the info, the ratio in this case is far, far higher than any other manufacturer's recall rate - almost 80 percent of the frames have had to be returned and replaced. Don't believe me? You shouldn't. I made it up just like you made up your bit about the return rate on the Anthem X1s. And the bit about the 26er bikes, which I see was nonsense too. If you had found it on the www, you would, surely, not have a problem posting some links here so the rest of us can make up our minds too? Now, if you show me your sources then I can believe you, until then I can only presume you bought the placating story you were told by your bike shop. Or you work for Giant and are trying some clever damage control.
  16. I would be interested in seeing that verified - can you post the links to where you found this info? Which other makes is this compared to? Not trying to fight, genuinely curious.
  17. From the series website: "Participants must be in good shape to participate in any of the events in the NISSAN MTB SERIES. Minimum age to enter to the race is 18 years old or 16 years old with an adult permission or company." If you got beaten by a laaitie, you obviously need to be DQed too - it does say you need to be in good shape.
  18. http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/11/bikes-tech/giant-recalls-2011-anthem-29ers_149381 Oh dear.
  19. I can't find anything more - did this actually happen? Not that the absence of an actual incident will stop the vitriol... Hoping it is all a mistake.Or a drug deal gone wrong. Or something. More info please, Spartan!
  20. Source? Can't find anything further on the WWW?
  21. Maybe they should call the magazine Recycling, not Bicycling. They even managed to use the same old guy on the cover two months in a row. I think. They look the same, the same I-am-going-fast-in-granny-gear smirk? One on a road bike, one on a mtb? Or am I seeing things?
  22. Yes. Eat only powerbands for a week, and I guarantee you will lose weight.
  23. You rode to the CNA to buy Bicycling???
  24. Top Cycle - issue two is littering the shelves as we speak, and is even worse than issue one. Maurice is the editer
  25. And we wonder why the magazine is so ***?
