  2. maybe it's time for antibiotics thug?! Mine has cleared up but I'm left feeling lethargic and 'headachey' I went and got Probiotic Probiflora - a riding mate swears by it! I am also taking Maxup Immunity Booster - as I am feeling very weak after a week of revisiting Sani!
  3. http://www.theonion.com/content/files/images/KY-Jelly-R.article.jpg It is worrying that you even had that pic on hand (no pun intneded!)
  4. How has all these fires affected the Epic route? That race is hard enough without having to rides through 8 days of burnt landscape!
  5. Now maybe you can spend time and cut that lawn!
  6. Summit Cycles, 011 315 8311, Value Shopping Centre, Old Pretoria Rd, Midrand
  7. Just want to extend my elation of an experience with a proper local bike shop! FINALLY! After being let down my LBS who after I spend about R8k in the last 3 months with them told me they can get to my bike around the 24th of March for a quick spoke replacement - I decided to shop around. Thank goodness the first place I tried was Anton at Summit Cycles! What a pleasure - not only was he extremely pleasant, but exceptionally helpful. A quick replacement and the spoke was done within the morning. But to go further, the atmosphere is the shop was efficient and friendly (even got offered coffee! . Further - dropped off my bike for some work before Sani - told it would be ready on Tuesday afternoon. Received a call this afternoon, which made my heart sink - cause the only other time I received a call from the bike shop was with delays or expensive bad news - However my bike was ready and fully serviced. You guys have won a loyal customer - and I will make sure I send as many people as I can your way! This is what a local bike shop is all about!
  8. Like them a lot! No complaints, serviceable too!
  9. I know nance I did shed a tear or ten. I am really at the point of trading my bike in after the Epic and taking up swimming! Did not ride my bike on the Legend advice - seemed like it was the right thing to do. So I will be back on the saddle!
  10. I have just noticed that one of my spokes on my DT Swiss Rims is broken. Can you ride a mtb with a broken spoke - noting hectic just the regular district road etc. Cheers Roons
  11. My current grips are Specialized Thin Lock-On Grip, dual density. By and large I am happy with them. The bike is just over a year old and they have worn thin and now offer no padding. I just wanted to get the consensus on what everyone else was using. Thanks for the comments so far - will weigh up my options!
  12. I am looking at getting a new set of grips - mine are looking a bit worse for wear! What would you recommend for stage type riding (read long!) mtb grips? Want something super comfy yet durable... Thanks Roons
  13. Imagine people had to write an email every time a taxi or car ran a red robot. I reckon it would further bring down our super speed country bandwidth speed!
  14. Thanks for that!! I REALLY needed that today - been on the Hub for over an hour and was feeling terrible with all the glum news! This is brilliant!!!
  15. I have just bought the following tyres to run as a tubeless conversion. Do these tyres run as tubeless? Specialized THE CAPTAIN ARMADILLO ELITE tyre 2008 26X2.0
  16. Runes' date=' Is this a road or MTB team?[/quote'] Mtb Team - need for Sani and Epic...

  18. OK those with a creative edge... Need to come up with a name for our team - any ideas? So far I like... Team Ibupro Fun or I thought Team mtn ....
  19. Perfect - thanks very much - that gives me a few options! Cheers Roons
  20. Does anyone have any ideas of a good 7-hour route (low HR-speed) leaving from JHB north? Ideally with as little tar as possible? Cheers!
  21. Why bother with the Spez 2D - why not go for the Propero - looks the same - without the price! I want one! Need to find who has stock! P.S. How do you size correctly for a helmet? Hi-JACK!
  22. Does anyone have a garmin tracklog of the route from Fourways to Harties? If not the tracklog then the rough route? I know how to get out to Lanseria from Northern Farms - but from there I am a bit lost. I do not want to ride on the tar (or as little as possible) Any advice will be appreciated.
  23. Now that would be GREAT!! I wait and see!
  24. Thanks Spinne! That now centres my training universe!!!
