    what he said.
  4. maybe there's more of a demand for 26 / 27.5...
  5. All the elements except hydrogen and helium were formed by supernova (H forming a few hundred thousand years after the big bang and He following shortly as H bonded as stars formed). However, the energy to compose our current structure is provided by our sun (e.g. captured by plants in the form of carbs during photosynthesis). We are made of star poo and fed by sunlight.
  6. You'll have to consider pizza for frames.
  7. OP is looking for a model for a roadie-related product. 70% of hubbers respond with MTB pics.
  8. Buy them one of these, so they can make some for all of us reading this... http://www.fiestabounce.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/315601_106245022817990_100002974791000_48121_1531536361_n.jpg
  9. Best way to say thank you to a retailer is to buy from them. Not buy for them.
  10. i thought strada was in addition to.... you gonna be using lots of chamois cream on that one, i take it?
  11. The Omni Motion @ Van Gaalens? It's not up on the bicycling.co.za calendar yet. You can pop them a mail to find out, but it's usually the first weekend, i.e. this year 6th & 7th.
  12. You were gatvol and wanted to throw your bike away? So sorry to have missed it this year

  14. My understanding of "official result" and "your time" is that they differ.
  15. "takes you places"
  16. you think you'd get value from it if you decide to go pro?
  17. awesome prices. Bought my first mtb from you in 2012 for a bargain, great to see you're still offering deals like this. Am still using some of the original components
  18. Use private zones - you can set up to a 3km (i think) radius around locations that will not be publicly visible.
  19. Can see the j2c / sani2c routes too.
  20. I see what you did there. I generally stop and wait for green at robots, but slow to a fast walk before rolling through a stop street if noone else was waiting there. To quote the article: In most cases, a driver can't safely decelerate from this speed (30km/h) I'd rather not be a reason for a driver to need to decelerate from ~60km/h to avoid contacting me. A lot of drivers see the green robot and don't even glance at the cross roads. They often put foot on orange, and I'd rather be safe and give the heavyweight a wide berth.
  21. Whenever "fork bob" is causing loss of power / lowering efficiency - generally on flat sprints or steeper climbs. I stopped locking out on climbs cos i kept forgetting to unlock for the descent and never really found there was THAT much improvement in sprints (as more of a recreational rider), but I'm sure some pro's might notice it a bit more.
  22. Was waiting for that. Worth a daily trip from your corner of the woods nogal?
  23. Yeah, they broke rule #1. I'm gonna let them do their next ride on flats.
  24. I have an icetoolz floor pump. The return valve recently stopped working due to minor influences (kids thought it would be fun to block the outlet and see how much pressure they could build up). I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with one of these? I've managed to open the top seal, but can hear air escaping from the valve between the pressure gauge and hose, and I'm wondering if this is something repairable. I can't open up the bottom section though, it looks like there's some sort of clamp across the bottom section and not sure how to release it. I'm unable to pump shrader valves at all, but can pump up a presta without an accurate gauge reading - I'm guessing that presta's are locking on the valve side when pumping. This is the product: http://icetoolzusa.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=84_102&product_id=166 Gooi weg, or worth a repair attempt?
  25. Don't be such a pessamist.
