  1. There is one serious problem with magnesium...... it has a very limited shelf life. Magnesium is very susceptible to corrosion and apart from the fact that you will then have to keep your wheels ultra clean, after a couple of years they would need replacing. This is the single reason for why it hasn't really taken off in replacing carbon fiber. As far as I can remember at least but ya, do some serious research
  2. I know, I know.... I didn't listen to all of the "bad omens" about this particular product, but Im a student, so...........cheap=good enough! anyway, it happened stupidly while I was packing my bike to go on the plane!
  3. Alright, I need some help. I managed to pull out the wires that run to my polar power monitor, the ones that run to the main unit sitting on the bars (How I managed this is irrelevant) Basically I need to solder them back on. Can anyone please tell me the order /position of the 3 coloured wires (Green, Red, Blue) or can someone have a look see on their own monitor if they have one. Shotto
  4. Wait for the SRAM red> One hell of a groupset. The frist sub 2 Kg groupset... same price as record
  5. now if only i could get the kids to learn how to fix dad a drink teach them to open the bottles of beer with their teeth; that should save on any orthodontist bills
  6. alas I have lost many a water bottle I remember breaking a fancy looking scooped bumper of a juiced up corsa because the boy racer was being a *insert own appropriate word/words* That gave me plenty of satisfaction...
  7. ha ha! it's when they start braaing inside that you have to worry! Im very happy Im not riding, the weather doesn't seem promising. I hope the weather is ideal on Sunday!
  8. My buddy once told me that if it wasn't for me being a cyclist he would knock down everyone he saw in his car. Comforting hey! So guys, just pray that my 13 year cycling itch is never relieved! I have another dilemma. Oncoming cars who think it's an amazing idea to overtake one another at speed. Iv had a few close calls by being hit by oncoming cars. Sometimes I throw my water bottle (with giving them enough of a warning first) as to notify them of my presence. I realise that this is never a clever idea, but sometimes if you do not catch their attention, you are going to be the new mascot for the said oncoming car!
  9. well done. I know him too! I also know Christoff, Chris Froome, Henry Uys and Neil Uys amongst a whole lot of others. There are my list of potential winners then Arran has hit good form and seems to be peaking at the right time
  10. My money is on Arran Brown. The only thing he hasn't got backing him is a strong team. Barloworld won't go for the win I think. I see it between Arran or Christoff van Heerden
  11. Raynard used to coach me for athletics and cross country. As was said, he is incredibly down to earth. Whenever I would see him on the road, he would always have time to chat. He would also invite me to join him on his training rides, and when I fell back, he would wait up! Which pro cyclist would do that (not many I think)! Raynard is an absolute legend
  12. It doesn't really matter. The guy is a legend whatever he rides. He kicks ass whatever he rides; he is so strong it's insane! Raynaard Rocks
  13. So, for two weeks in December Im going to the lovely island of Mauritius and even better is the fact that I am able to take my bike I just want to know if there are any suggested routes for being able to do good LSD miles?
  14. ha ha. Indeed it is............ Q20 works wonders. A little secret SShhhhh* (Sewing machine oil)
  15. Hey Big Mig! It's a scary small world. Insane! Thats why you have to be so careful that no-one sees you when you want to cause some chaos
  16. Cheers bud! Catch you soon! Enjoy your din dins
  17. what do you mean you didn't see her?????? She was scorching! The whole dark hair blue eyes thing going. She was stunning! By the way, you dont beat me on the bike so often. Lets talk in a month.
  18. Hey who was it that said they were going to take the short cut home????
  19. ha ha no ways.... I was there as well! That is sooooo bizarre! I guess no.one.knows that I was there too. I was the one in white! Hello Holy Roller
  20. Personally I think he is talking porky pies. Hey but who am I to judge. And if he is I could expect him to burn out Just my opinion
  21. Wow, I didn't expect this............ I guess this is what it looks like when I sprint for the line
