  7. Thanks bud! But two people for support will not help. Interesting that cyclingsa don't have anything to say about this.
  8. Why don't we arrange a support group at the court for these from now on. We need to start voicing these.
  9. at that price they can keep them
  10. why not just give a 10 - 15% disc on everything?
  11. I have a set of bakila and trek sport... I'm still getting used to them as that is all I run in. Best trail sku's by far.
  12. apparently a heart attack victim. RIP
  13. http://www.pretorianews.co.za/?fSectionId=&fArticleId=nw20100903120125923C523569 Pothole causes cycle crash Johannesburg - A pothole was the reason why three riders from the MTN-Energade men's road cycling team on Thursday ended up in hospital with broken bones. To top it all, Jaco Venter, Dylan Girdlestone and Bradley Potgieter are now doubtful to race in any of the last three big classics of the season, the Amashova, OFM and 94.7. Venter broke his arm in three places, Girdlestone broke his shoulder bone and, as luck would have it, Potgieter injured the same ankle that was fractured in a car accident early this year. Reinhardt Janse van Rensburg, who was also training with his teammates on the road just past the Hartbeeshoek Satellite Station west of Pretoria, said they were busy with a team motorpacing session when the accident happened. "Jaco and I were riding next to one another, while Bradley and Dylan were just in front of us. We were doing about 80km/ph when Jaco hit the pothole." According to Janse van Rensburg, the moment the accident happened Venter's bicycle shot up in the air, he totally lost control and crashed down at high speed. When Ian Wilson, the driver of the Kombi that was used by the riders for their motorpacing, saw in his rearview mirror that Venter had crashed, he immediately braked. "Unfortunately, Dylan and Bradley were looking backwards to see what had happened to Jaco and whether he was OK. They did not realise that the Kombi was slowing down and consequently they crashed into it at full speed. "Dylan's shoulder really looked bad. Just glancing at it I could see that the bone had broken right through." This accident means MTN-Energade will be racing with only half a team in the Dome2Dome race in Johannesburg on Sunday. - Sapa Quickwire Published on the Web by IOL on 2010-09-03 12:01:25 © 1999 - 2010 Independent Online.
