Just be patient. put in the time doing races and your seeding will improve. in mass start marathons, the distance is usually sufficient to allow you to find your 'place' in the race. single track - just ask if you can get through if someone is really slow. use the district roads, dual jeep tracks, and climbs to pass as many slow riders as possible.

rofl.

haha Jy't vergeet van die knertsie drink tervyl daai manne oor die koole lekker met mekaar gesels...

No. this gets quite messy especially if the tire refuses to seat properly. First, open out your new tires and let them lie for a while to get back into their 'normal shape' after being folded. I usually install them without sealent first to get the tire seated properly (sometimes needs a visit to the engen and their strong compressor when my hand pump/small car compressor wont seat the tire) Then unscrew the valve and squirt in sealent, or in your case, crack open a small gap between the tire bead and rim on one side only, and install sealent. be careful not to unseat the entire tire. pump up and continue the usual sidewall sealing process once the bead is bedded into the edge of the rim.

um, phone around. A new Sram PG1050 cassette from Wesdene Cycles cost R650, and a new PG1031 chains is around R250.

as JB says, piece of piss. The mysticism surrounding all things 'bike' generated by shops is what keeps them in business. wheel truing only gets slightly complicated when nipples are hidden within rims (eg carbon aero) and you need a specific tool to access them. I use cable ties on the seat stays to determine where the wobble is, and by tightening the nipple on the alternate spokes the rim is pulled back into position. usually takes less that 3 mins and keeps lunch money in my pocket.

Get Mastering Mountain Biking Skills, by Brian Lopez. Great resource for all things MTB.

I would have thought gaining girlfriends was a good thing...!

what are you trying to say.....?

moooooooOOOOOOOO!!!

you forgot digitime, great time, spectrumsports - circus. just use the one that is listed as the timing company for the race you are entering.

NO

Not if its up your bum...

Red = fast

Probably a GM steak

chinese carbon thread also gone...

ouch.

i see the classifieds took a knock - my recents adverts have vanished

because its run by an army of 1...

you forget 'beers'

what rubbish. clearly you havent had to try and restart your ride on an ascending incline after some Starvasshole has come tearing down it with no regard for others.

Bought 2 cans of SWAT after an attempted bikejacking happened to me in Knysna (Noetsie informal settlement) this December. Tired of these wank3rs doing just as they please with no consequences. test subject please...

I got a set of Easton Havens 29" on CRC's wheel sale end of last year. Great wheels, much lighter and stronger than my DT Swiss. R4k, absolute bargain.

thx.

he took an adventure pill this morning...
