  1. Anybody else see this? What does it mean for Argus 2008? Since nobody likes a cut-and-paste, here is the article. http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=181&art_id=vn20070822035434893C824929
  2. Did not try the new wheels. Only damage that I can see is that the bike is a few grams lighter due to the one pedal being shaved as it scraped the tar. Broke my brand new Fizik tubby bag - it snapped right out of the bracket
  3. If training out towards the cradle, be careful of an oil slick on the road at the bottom of the dip. Not sure of the exact road, but if you are heading out towards the cradle, there is a dip that goes over a bridge and at the top of the road it is a T-junction. At the T-junction you turn left towards the rhino and lion park (this was the winter challenge route).The oil slick is at the bottom of that dip . Took me out but fortunately I was just starting to climb so no major damage. word2007-08-18 05:04:24
  4. Is Barloworld going to be riding these babies next year?
  5. I dont mind redistribute - you can have my old Alex rims off the RC3000
  6. That will teach you to motorpace a truck! You are lucky you only hit a cateye and that the truck did not hit brakes.
  7. Not an expert but I would guess IDT does not damage the bike HOWEVER.....I have been warned not to stand when the bike is on the IDT as it can place to much strain on the frame and lead to damages. Also be sure to either use a sweat guard or dry the bike carefully after use to prevent the headset from rusting up. This is what happens to the bikes on IDT at the gyms - the headset rusts becuase of the sweat.
  8. How did I know you felt like saying that? back to the issue at hand - can your runners wrist watch give you temp? word2007-08-16 02:26:25
  9. where did you get the temperature info from? my edge 305 does not have temperature which is the one shortcoming of it imo. word2007-08-16 02:24:29
  10. What about the string dedicated to Ryan Cox - may not have the most replies in total, but must have had the most views and responses in the shortest time
  11. No prob. Just send your banking details to 555-YEAH RIGHT
  12. Mampara you got yours cheap! My winning bid was 27cents but I send 8 SMS's so my wheel are worth 3 times more than your at R24,27 - but mine have still not arrived . Did you get yours?
  13. I did not because everybody would think it was rigged if I won again
  14. Slowjoe, dont go telling me again that you FELT like buying a Specialized because I wont believe it. So glad that I do not need to wait with anticipation on this thread this week. Cant wait for my wheels to arrive.
  15. I suggest that everybody who rides this weekend, be it a race or a club ride, wear a black armband in tribute to Ryan cox
  16. Why dont we start a thread where courses can be shared?
  17. I have the Edge 305 and I love it. I mounted the bracket onto the stem as opposed to the handlebars in order to keep the "real estate" clean. Gives me flexibility to move all over the bars. Also, love the fact that it is wireless.

    Ryan Get well soon.
  20. Marktd Only just saw your post. I would have joined you but i wussed out yesterday. Drove to Cyclelab, got out the car, felt the wind, got back in the car and went home. Moped around all day because I did not ride, although I did make it up with 1 1/2 hours on IDT this morning. I will be back there next week though. How did you enjoy it? From wht I saw when I was there, yesterdays groups must have been tiny.
  21. Slowjoe, that is why when I win them I will sell them to you for a bargain R8999,99 - that way you can bling your Felt and feel a little bit special(ized)
  22. Last week they were pretty good about it and this week? What I do not understand is the comment yesterday that they need to co-ordinate info from other websites??? I had to send a paid sms to enter (or a few in my case!) If everybody entered by sms, then all the bids are in 1 place.
  23. forget them - pick a winner from the site that matters
  24. I have been riding in a road workers vest that works but it flaps a lot in the wind and does not have flashing lights. I want one of these! Please post the details.
