  1. The Carbon sole on my Exustar road shoe(left) are comming loose at the heel. Glued it properly with contact glue but still comming loose. What can I do? Any advice on another glue to be used. The shoes has been used for one season about three years ago and the original invioce is long gone so is the shop where I bought it from.
  2. Get better wheels and tri bars for your road bike.
  3. BBB does make one and some stems comes with a adaptor sleeve. IE BBB. I use a carbon aero fork with 1" steerer with adaptor sleeve.
  4. If the deal is not finished and negotiations are still going, thats the way to do it. It gould go sour if a sponsor was named prematurely for then the sporson got exposure without paying e cent. Possibly there are talks to more than one possible sponsor and the best one will get the deal. This would pose legal implications if one sponsor knew about the other one. Typically like how tenders are done. Well done again to CSA.
  5. Start in Durbs, go inland up to Underberg and Himeville then down the Wildcoast and finish in Capetown. As said, the Table mountain in background would be a nice finish.
  6. Well done to them. Is the old style club racing making a comeback too? Typically like the old summer league and winter races held at Boschkop and Rooiwal.
  7. Where and whom does this testing in PTA and JHB area? Tel numbers and E-mail addrsses will help a lot please.
  8. This worked for me too. Up the other side of mine shaft as the cars race is shorter and steepr. Makes for some nice full effort intervals.
  9. This works for me too. Going down a dirt road at 75Km/h and the bottle stayed put. Even very rought MTB'ing and the bottle held.
  10. The tarred section already happened. It's only the first flat part about up to the hotel before that rough steep section starts.
  11. Ride to Groenkloof, do one lap inside and back to RHK would give you close to 50Km. I live in RHK, Groenkloof and back is about 30Km's.
  12. Psst! Kan ek jou 'n geheim vertel? In hoof letters skryf beteken jy skreeu vir almal. Gebruik eerder klein letters.
  13. I remember one of the last few TOurs a rider came in dead last. The judgesgrabed him to test against doping and he tested positve for steroids. Never had such a good laugh.
  14. That's a piece of art or sometimes crudly described as a hub.
  15. Why is the rear wheel lased straight spokes next to the casette and the far side two cross? Most other wheels are laced crossed at the casette and straight far side.
  16. Idea for a long route. Start in the Cape, past PE and East Londen up to Durbs. Then turn inland. This could be the start of the mountain stages up to JHB. I recon the main problem would be to get decent mountain stages. Long Tom pass, Robbers pass and thge likes comes to mind. Maybe include some parts of Lesotho. In at Fouriesburg up to Katse dam. One serious climb up and then down the other side. One could do it in reverse the next day or just after a rest day. In that area there's no circle route. Maybe lower down. Another route option. Start in JHB, enter Lesotho at Fouriesburg up to Katse dam, turn around and down & out at Maseru. Then do a bit of Free State, EC and finish in the Cape somewhere. Could also include George if done from the Cape. This would then include the pass going inland to Oudthoorn. Some decent flat stages, undulating ones and nice mountains with good scenery all round. Could well match the TDF or at least better the Tour Down Under.
  17. I would also do the same. I use Magura Louise for a couple of years now. (2007 Louise) Very light and reliable. At the moment spares might be a problem as there's no agent in SA at the moment. Nothing wrong with them but be carefull there are different models and the black one is quite heavy. Don't know the year model but had both in my hands at Solomons in PTA North. I would say the 2007 model was their best. Hayes, Avid Juicy's (higher than 7's), Formula and Magura (if available) are all good.
  18. When to test Lactate Threshold? Now when fitness is not high or later when quite fitter? Started again recently after some time off the bike and busy with some base miles.
  19. Loctite has a thread repairing compound. Dont know how exactly it works but might be worth a try. Try and contact the Loctite supplier them self or Google it on the web.
  20. Or ride Suikerbosrand South of JHB twice. Just be carefull of oncomming traffic.
  21. Start at Dullstroom go over long Tom pass to Sabie. Stay over at Merry Pebbles in Sabie. Next day, start at Sabie ride to Pelgrimsrus, over Robbers pass, turn around and back to Sabie. All decent rides with decent climbs.
  22. He gave up and his mind was not in it.
  23. I use a F100 RLT. Never had problems. On the other hand But both would be equally good. Go for the cheaper one.
  24. My sig on a 4x4 forum. Last line added today. Thanks Wannabe! For Adam. Rest in Peace kid. To Motorists: Save a Cyclist, stay out of the Yellow Lane
  25. Most amusing signature ever seen. Never wrestle a pig. You'll get full of mud and the pig likes it.
