  1. I think the point is it would have been interesting to hear the arguments from the same crowd in the hub thread that generated so much comments about trumps shenanigans. unfortunately some are no longer participating much or at all on the hub nowadays
  2. I like the polar method (polar hrm’s that is), KISS principal your fitness / training results are either: - Over exerting - Productive - Maintaining - Undertrained
  3. Thanks…. Now we are going to hear about all the grand and not so grand KOM’s
  4. Can you claim warranty due to the loose insert, and then ask for a shorter length 162.5 (if available)?
  5. Folks will say the big difference is the way they go about it, either they quietly go about their business without ruining someone else’s life or they create headlines and make the Oprah Winnie show. Ridiculous I know
  6. Sounds like shocking service indeed. This is exactly why I’m I’m not a fan of ordering or requesting stuff like this online, I prefer to look at someone eye to eye and to go back to them if something does not go to plan. I’ve bought several Specialized bikes (including an EVO ????)and various other accessories from local Spez dealers this way, while there are sometimes still things that niggle me the service has generally been good. Enjoy your Scott ????
  7. Out of interest can you share what the query was?

    This all sounds like an Indian mass arranged marriage ceremony, maybe the "damage" is in the contract requirements or whoever writes them up
  9. E-bloody scooters...... now there is an object for scrutiny...... We have plenty that are like public hire via mobile phone app and then when the battery dies they just left there on the spot, sometimes idjits just leave them literally in the middle of the cycling paths.
  10. Lots of E-bikes in my neck of the planet and I’ve not heard of any battery fires, there are mostly news reports of accidents attributed to the speed of E-bikes. Sooooooo..... who else leaves their cell phone on charge at night while they sleep ???? ????
  11. We (cyclists) wish, cannot see it ever being accepted by the other road users.
  12. Pity the covid threads are no longer active, would be time to regurgitate this old debate
  13. Learnt something today, Hydrogen for cooling and Ellisras = Lephalale
  14. It’s a bit like watching a graveyard at 3am, not much to see but something is probably happening…. I’d be interested to know what admin thinks, was the resulting “peace” really worth it?
  15. With conditions, such as the product should be from a well known brand A. YES B. YES
  16. I was just watching this and wondering if dropped or slower riders have a responsibility to move clear of the racing line? You can see other riders floating at the top of the track or on the inside. But ja you would think even at WR effort through the red haze the Danish riders would have seen him in time Video below Kurioser Sturz - Däne fährt Briten über den Haufen – und vergeigt sicheren Weltrekord - 20 Minuten
  17. There are some very sensitive individuals around who have a talent for reading between the lines, even when the line spacing and font size is set to the minimum I wonder if Pauline managed to jump the drop on any of the other laps, i would expect that a rider of her level would be able to, if correct then maybe she purposefully tried to block JN....? I watched the race but honestly did not notice if she did manage to jump it.
  18. IMHO its not worth it...yes I'm lazy and never change chains until they are worn, I don't cycle distances like a professional or wannabe pro so no need in my case One thing i can can tell you though, when someone "breaks" their chain while riding, ten to one they just put it on and the quick link / join failed because they did not do it properly
  19. Tatjana Schoenmaker sets new Olympic record in 100m breaststroke to ignite Team SA Olympic campaign LIVE | Tokyo Olympics Day 2: Schoenmaker sets new Olympic record in 100m breaststroke, SA in dramatic defeat to France | Sport (news24.com)
  20. Fantastic win for Kiesenhofer right from the break, things dreams are made of! Van Vleuten celebrates but mistakes silver for gold Strange that they did not know the Austrian was in front..... was there no motorcycle with a blackboard showing the time gap to the leader, or messages on a bottle, time gaps from team support on the side of the road....? https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/olympics-van-vleuten-celebrates-but-mistakes-silver-for-gold/
  21. Why, sorry never seen these before and trying to figure them out from the picture….
  22. What exactly does it do?
  23. Bar ends reversed on a an early nineties style mtb……you gravel guys are sure pushing the envelope
  24. its cycling Jim, but not as we know it…. They should make the downhillers ride their bikes to the start
  25. It was great to see Louis initiate a move (attack would be to strong a word), for someone who does not have the massive power required to “attack”, Brian Smith one of the Eurosport commentary team who was general manager at MTN Qhubeka when Louis was riding for them made this comment about Louis power.... Top 20 in this years TDF, not to be sneezed at and a lot better than any other saffas ???? , excluding Ashleigh Moolman of course
