Is there a decent rim manufacturer (29")that makes Alu-look rims. I don't like white rims and the black ones shows nicks and scrapes way too easy. What to do?

Thanks, will contact them.

Bought/got a cracked Giant carbon 26" fully frame. Looking for a pro to repair the frame in Cape Town area. All info welcome and appreciated.

Bike weight plays a small role for me since I am a super feather weight. For me training to climb is most important. Weight distribution and your ride position.

Mr. Spar. Would have love ride with you 2 again, but taking mother-in-law out to lunch @ Okapuka.

we have a guy in our club that rides on and off raod with no shoes as well

i put mine in an old sock, with a good amount of baby powder. works for me

Wife wants me to shave my skinny & hairy legs, I want a roadbike. She doesnt want me 2 have a road bike, so I dont shave!

Never used squirt until the Epic. Will never never ever use anything else again!!!

I also carry almost all of the stuff mentioned, except for the small kettle. Cable ties, never leave the home/start without them, 30cm binding wire & dental sidecutter, small bottle of lube and sunblock

Buy an electric "help my trap" bicycle, they can do 30km/h if you dont pedal on a flat road. You can get up to 70km before the battery is flat, this distance depends on a lot of things. O ja, its cycle related

I enjoyed the Epic a lot eventhough I was on a hardtail, though there were some words said about the wind and when I bought some land on Gamkapberg's downhill. Must agree with the guy(s) about practicing bunch riding. This is were I struggled the most by far. To the boys who worked the Pragma wash bays, thanx a million, you were GREAT!! I will surely do it again, but only in 2010 as I have other things to concentrate on for the next year.

Pops, dan moes ons mekaar gesien het, maar nie geweet hoe dit ander lyk nie, ons het ook "saam" met Kabous-hulle gery. Ek moet se, wanneer my bene klaar was, was Kabous daar om iets komies te se om my weer aan die gang te kry. O ja, baie dankie vir die "hulp" voor die race, dit het flippen baie gehelp.1skinnyman2008-04-09 05:39:08

Hey pops, when you did you crash out??

Little cars could look nice, but if the cut out litte MTBs

This looks fillpen nice, if I was a girl/woman, it would be on my bike. Do they make one for the boys as well.

Thanks all for the advice. Will do the rest thing. At least I know that my partner(for the Epic) can't train as well. He broke his frame for the second time and is waiting for a new 1.

I'm training to do my 1st Epic. All has been going well untill yesterday. It feels like am about to sick; sore through, runny nose thick head. Cold symptoms. I dont really feel tired but I don't want to ruin all the hard work I've done. What do I do 1. train like I have been doing the past few months, 2. train less/lighter; or 3. don't train at all?

I won't bring that stuff near my bike, it sucks up dirt and sand like crazy - perfect receipy for grinding paste.

must be nice and hot under the black kit then...

Do you wear gold kit when rinding

Bought a MTB, got a road bike for free, sold the road bike, upgraded the mtb.

I must admit that I am NOT a morning person, but I still give a wave to cyclists passing by or a "Hi" when they pass me. Most of the time I avoid people in the morning, so I go off-road.
