Orange juice always works well

This would seem to be ideal - and its free. The online ed of Bicycling was on yesterday I think to publicise this http://www.bicycling.co.za/static/challenge

I get that, and have no issue with freedom of speech. But when we come here to name a business and then go ahead and trash it, do you not think it behoves us to treat the power of this forum with respect, and to acknowledge the damage that can be done. In this instance, I just think that Wannabe's public reaction is overkill, and is totally out of proportion with the alleged "bad service" ....Its not as if they failed to honour a warranty obligation, or did a bad repair or anything. Had he just asked, I am sure he would have been atteded to. no??

[ no prob with that!! But go quietly - why come here to bitch?? Harryn2007-11-26 04:26:05

I don't think its right to be trashing a business in these threads for something so fickle as some guy not being fawned over the minute he walks into the shop. In fact, I think its abuse.

Effing lovely!!!! May you have safe rides on it!

I took them to Lourens Strausse Optometrists in Killarney Mall. They had to send them to Oakley in the U.S. The whole thing took about a month before I got them back - but it was pretty pain free. They gave me v good service!!

Prep notes for this weekend's ride: 1. Leave bannana at home to make way for potatoes (nb: mash won't sit well in back pockets); 2. plan route to avoid hot chick spots;

Anyway, fog aside (its my topic so I can hijack) on Sunday we are riding from Sandringham Woolies to Carnival city and back. Will be effing gr8 ride - all welcome 2 join.

After having to go thru the huge cost and hassle of sending these Oakleys to the U.S to have the lenses made up in my prescription, there is no way I am gonna fork out more dosh for another pair. There has to be some solution you can get to deal with this issue. Are they optometrists out there who can give any constructive suggestions??

Yes, but its a total ball ache!! Just because nobody else can see either is no consolation at all! Isn't there some kinda stuff you can get to treat the lenses with so that they will not fog up??

I have this not so huge, but nevertheless irritating problem. Whenever I stop at a robot or am on a big climb my Oakleys fog up like mad. My optometrist gave me this spray but it has not helped? Anyone got any suggestions?

Yes, mine did not come standard - I had to buy it seperate. not cheap.

Number collection is just a ball ache, especially for the big events like the 94.7, where u can wait around in crowds forever. This should not have to be done more than once in a lifetime. Everyone should be allocated one permanent number to be used in every race, and while we are on that subject, the timing chip can be embedded into the number, so we do not have to be changing transponders between wt and champion chip. we will also save the planet by doing this.

Good for u Widget!!! I agree with everything you have said! For my part the whole licensing is just a ball ache, and an expensive one at that. I have just been ripped off an extra 30 bucks for all the races I have done recently - now I am being forced into joining a club, and buy their kit, when me and my mates were perfectly happy tooling around on our own on our rides (having an effing gr8 time too). Anyway, now I see I won't be seeded in the big races like Amashova and the 94.7 if I don't have a license - so what in heck is the point?? There will be hundreds of unlicensed riders riders of vastly different ability all starting at the back because they find themselves unseeded. No?? I thought the licensing issue was supposed to promote safety - it seems to me that its doing just the opposite!! Harryn2007-09-18 03:30:27

its been a facinating debate. bottom line: I'll stay off the chocolate cake
