  1. tee heee all that I can see is that it may block your pores..... the nose is a pore is it not.... albeit a large pore...... yup your nose may block up and disppear..... nah......... nobody will notice the difference!!!!!!!!!
  2. Maybe not carcinogenic but it is classified as an chemical to avoid. I confused Aprabens with Petrolatum. Use parraffin but use it with care Parabens:These synthetic preservatives include four classes--methyl,propyl,butyl,and ethyls.Allergic reactions & skin rashes have been attributed to these common chemicals. Petrolatum:Also known as petroleum and paraffin jelly,this mineral oil interferes with your skin's own moisturizing ability.It leads todry skin & chapping,and can suffocate & clog pores,eventually enlarging your pores altogether. Parabens Cancer link Earlier this week researchers for the Cancer Research Campaign said that pollution could have contributed to a dramatic rise in the number of testicular cancer cases in England and Wales. Scientists for the campaign are now investigating the role of oestrogen as a trigger for the cancer. Meanwhile, scientists for the US Environmental Protection Agency plan to investigate up to 87,000 chemicals to see if they mimic the effects of oestrogen
  3. Nope..... the stoker always sits and wave at people, chat to other cyclists, does her nails, look at nature flitting by and comment on bad gear changes. I never complain because the cardinal rule when tandemming is that .......THE STOKER IS ALWAYS RIGHT!!!!!!!!
  4. Q20 is not a lubricant. It is a cleaner. Washing your chain with parraffin only WILL be detremental to proper lubrication. The "fatty" residue that stays behind when the solvents evaporate will dillute and change the viscosity of your lubricant. If and when you use parraffin or any petroleum based solvent you must wash the chain first with a grease cutting soap. Sunshine Liquid Dish washer does this quite well. Parraffin removes the wax buildup created by White lightning. With Squirt I only use Sunlight Liquid to wash the chain. The prolonged contact with petroleum products can have a carsogenic effect.
  5. JB I WILL never admit that I ..... the great and infallible Hendrik Petoors used bad technique!!!!!!!!!!
  6. Wax buildup on White Lightning is excessive.
  7. Kona...... Heavy ...... NOT portable also depends how well you can weld. Voolkie strint soos ekke en jy verdubbel die gewig!!!!!!! Jy skop ook jou tone stukkend teen die ysters onder op die grond. Maar die stand werk en werk lekker. Dirty Rider...... jy ken nou al so baie van weld.... wil jy nou nog die voolkie strint metode ook aanleer???????? Teee heeee!!!!!!!!!
  8. I have made three of these stands so far and they work. To secure the bike even better strap it with a friction luggage strap to the square tubing. It is seldom neccesary. I have done major repairs on both our tandems using designs like this. I do not take responsibility for this design.
  9. Nee ek het ook my eie ontwerp. Ek post hom hier onder vir die wat sou belangstel en dit werk. Jokerman I have had Extensive contact via email with Stephen and Colin. Phoning is difficult as I sit in Nigeria that makes phoning prohibitive and this whole thing was caused by an individual who did not care.
  10. ewep, ek het redelik baie terugvoer vanaf Steven gekry met verskeie pogings om hulle fout te motiveer. My oorspronklike vraag was gewees of die Service Stand die tandem sal hanteer. Hy het laat weet dat die stand 'n massa van 38kg kan hanteer. Mooi so!!!!!!!!....... dit is ongeveer wat die Tandem met M op weeg!!!!!! Hy het wel nog nie my vraag beantwoord nie. Die tandem is lank en ek wil spesifiek weet of die klein tripod basis die momente wat deur die LENGTE van die tandem veroorsaak word sal hanteer. Ek glo ek is geregtig op so antwoord want die stand Kos 3200-00. Hel ...... dit is die prys van 'n nuwe redelike goeie fiets!!!!!!! Dan ook het hy aan sy kollega wat my aanvanklik nie ordentelik wou help nie omdat hy "onder druk is" laat weet hy moet die prys aan my verskaf aangesien ek "'n negatiewe posting geplaas het op die Hub wat hulle in 'n slegte lig stel" My vorige probleem wat ek met die "despote" gehad het was dat ek van die skroefies gesoek het wat die onderste cover van die Shimano Rapidfire shifters vashou. Hulle antwoord was dat hulle dit nie aanhou nie maar dat ek maar 'n nuwe shifter moet koop. Ek het vir lank die cover met insulation tape vasgehou en aan almal wat vra en nie vra nie gese dat dit is so omdat die verskaffer nie onderdele wou verskaf het nie. Dit is uiters swak van hulle gewees. My vriend by Bouwer Broers het toe uiteindelik vir my skroefies uit sy toolboks gehaal en die goed is nou weer reg. Ek gaan nou maar weer die trusted HENDRIK DESIGNED SERVICE AND REPAIR STAND hier in Nigerie bou van sqwaire toobing en ankle airon wat ekke aamekaar plak met welding wat soos voolkie strint lyk en nie hulle verspotte duur stand koop nie. Damn........... ek wens kempekkernoglia wil nou hulle MTB groupset herontwerp of dat Brandon hulle by Probike ook Shimano onderdele wil verkoop. DAN KAN ONS DALK GOEIE DIENS KRY!!!!!!!!
  11. We used to break chains on our tandem due to variuos factors. We had a kempekkernoglia groupset on that was just not capable of handling the stresses and strains of tandem riding. This was also aggravated by the fact that our gearchanges was not well coordinated. One or both of us did not power down during changes. When I changed to a Tiagra groupset the whole issue improved. I still broke chains but this changed totally when we installed a long cage XT derraileur on the back and a 105 dearraileur on the front. Since them we have also become a more competent tandem team. The whole minsdset also changed when Martin told me to take it more casual and relax, and also plan ahead when to make our gearchange. Rather shift on the downhills and spin untill we need the power instead of trying to shift whilst going up a hill and under power. Correct setting of the derraileurs and and control cables and a clean and lubricated chain is also a must. Since we changed from White Lightning (a hard wax based lubricant) to Squirt things are 100% better. Squirt given a more relaxed and loose well lubricated chain, especially during cold conditions. Correct fixing of the chain is also a must and I will recommed an SRAM link to break the chain if you clean often. They work well with Shimano chains. I do not break the chain anymore bit wash the chain with a BBB clamshell type chain washer. I wash the chain regularly using common Sunlight Liquid in the washer. On the MTB tandem we used one chain ..... it never broke and I retired it after 3500km on the tandem...... quite exceptional for an Tandem working under wet and grimy conditions. We were in Mozambique during that time.
  12. Wat wil jy nou he ek moet bere??????? Ek kan ook nie meer die siekte se naam onthou nie Swartsenegger, Altseberger Holtsheimer??????nee nou is ekke deurmekaar!!!!!!!
  13. Thanx Steven for attempting to solve this problem amicable.
  14. Which one are you...... the stoepit dog sticking out his toungue or the seriousss one that looks like a diaken!!!!!!!!
  15. Ek ken die verskil tussen poeding en bollie..... en hierdie is NIE poeding nie!!!!!!!!!
  16. Hi Steve, thanx for replying. PM me your email address and I will forward you the emails that followed. Really a pity we have to go this way. I repeat..... I must be one of the staunchest Shimano supporters on the Hub as well as in South Africa. All I ask when making an enquiry is that the reply should encompass my interest. After all it is the client base that makes your company perform. I am awaiting your PM. I live in Nigeria and a phone call is prohibitively expensive. Thanx again for the reply.
  17. fandy jy us snaaks!!!!!!!
  18. Ek dog die Wielnaaf is dood bankrot afgesny gesensor en het 'n meltdown gehad....... dit is al die tyd die vroumense se fout dit is WIMMINS day. Baie geluk Wimmin!!!!!! Ek het myself doodgepanic toe daar net 20 mense aangelog was!!!!!!!!
  19. I will be flying in with SAA. We intend giving the car to my son for the period in Kruger and using his bakkie. We will add him then for this period as a secondary driver and pay the extra costs.
  20. Yup will do on both Kulula Cars as well as Coolheat. I will also mail their bosses and tell them to respond to www.hellopeter.co.za. Remember www.hellopeter.co.za can also be used to commend good service!!!!!!!Hendrik Petoors2007-08-09 03:34:31
  21. Wow the same thing has happened............ again!!!!!!! I booked a Tazz for our stay in RSA from the 17th of August. I did that through Vitality on the Internet and all went well and the booking confirmed. M and I want to visit Kruger for a few days and specificlly go camping because we prefer that. I sent a mail to Imperial Car Hire who are Kulula Cars asking if they have smaller vehicles with Towbars. The quote for the Tazz was just over R6000-00 for the month. They sent me a quote for a Mercedes Vito for R26900-00 for the full month stating that smaller cars do not have towbars. I cannot believe the stupidity behind such a decsision. Would a simple email saying that "small cars do not have towbars/are not available" have sufficed. WHAT IN HADES WOULD M AND I WANT TO DO WITH A MERCEDES VITO FOR A FULL MONTH!!!!!!!!! What is happening in our R of SA ...... is common sense not ruling any more or did the poor stupid little person who sent me the email just have two bowls of stupid for breakfast!!!!!!!Hendrik Petoors2007-08-09 03:05:24
  22. So is Johnny the Smoking Chimpanzee and Pamela!!!!!!!!
  23. Maybe that is why Brandon and his business are growing with such great strides. Hope they do not become FAT CAT as well!!!!!!! I hope we as South Africans see that and support Probike.
  24. Ek wonder of die soutmyn strafkampe in Siberie nog daar is want ek vermoed dit is dalk waarheen Alexander Vinokourov en Andrey Kashechkin op pad heen gaan wees!!!!!!!!
