  1. Kallis is a great player, but I don't think he will be Captain. Johan Botha has already shown what he is capabel of! I believe he is the Next Proteas Captain
  2. The fun factor far outweighs, the bike weight!!!
  3. Welcome to the Hub! Glad you bought an MTB!
  4. Very good point EDAM, haven't thought about it that way! I will conduct my own study! I am going to try end keep everything the same as all of the previous rides and compile my own test results. I think it would be an interesting study
  5. Hi Velo, I know and understand that riding with cleats is more efficient, but I like to know all these useless bits of information! The problem with me is I wanna know how and why and where and when, all the little details of every thing, well almost everything
  6. That is what Michelle from CRC said to me in the email she sent me! Wait 20 working days. plus i have to keep in mind that they had the weather delays.
  7. 1. Did they say what the difference was between the two ave speeds? 2. Did they say how much further he cycled? 3. Also did he burn less Calories, and if so how much less Calories?
  8. I have learnt my lesson, next time I will pay the extra fees, to have a registered parcel from CRC think it's 5-10 pounds. not a lot of money! but worth it knowing where my stuff is!
  9. Would an easy study not just to be to take 10 cyclist, give them their bikes, but without cleats and let them cycle 60km's. measure the heart rate calories, ave speed, time traveled and top speed. then take the exact same 10 cyclist add cleats, run the same test again with the same conditions and then compile a report? who wants to be a guinea pig?
  10. Ok so more power tranfer! is there a percentage that can be linked to it?
  11. I shave the same issue as you do COS, I emailed then after 10 working days. the reply was the following: Hi There, Please accept our apologies that you have not received your parcel. It has been sent on 09/12/10 with Royal Mail International who are normally a fast and reliable service but unfortunately delays can sometimes occur. Please note this service can no longer be tracked online as we no longer receive shipping references. If you are not home for delivery, your postman would leave your parcel with either a neighbour or at your local post / sorting office to await collection, they may have forgotten to leave a calling card to advise you of this. Please can you check with both of these places for your parcel. If none of these results in you receiving your parcel please allow 20 full working days (Monday to Friday) from the date of posting and then contact us to let us know that the parcel has still not arrived, and that your local sorting / post office has confirmed that they are not holding the parcel for you. At this point we will be able to convey this message back to and take the matter further with Royal Mail. Once again please accept our apologies for the delay and any inconvenience caused. Please note Royal Mail International is not a tracked service. Please allow extra time due to adverse weather conditions we are experiencing across Europe.

  12. Hi All, We all cycle with our Shimano's, eggbeaters etc. We all know know that we use a lot less energy than what cyclist do using old pedals without Cleats. But Something I have been wondering about is: 1. How much more power output does one get using Cleats? 2. How much more energy do we safe using Cleats?
  13. Hi Anybody in the Middelburg, Mpumalanga, keen on a ride Xmas Morning!!!!
  14. I'm Slipping out the house at 05:00, nice two hour ride!! be back in time to make my world famous (Family loves it) omelletes for breakfast! Then I will try and put back the weight I lost in the last 3 months in one single sitting og Xmas Lunch
  15. I definately want one of those for xmas.
  16. I just had my first wet dream/post on the HUB!! it's official
  17. I have just ordered from CRC as well, when you use the "ECONOMIC SERVICE" you don't get a Tracking number as it is shipped with normal mail. Wait 5-8 working days. If you don't get your package, query it with CRC
  18. Tony Impi in Bedford centre Solomons Cycles in Woodmead Retail park cwc - www.cwcycles.co.za
  19. to me route mapping is at this stage more important, I can download my rides to my computer and I "try" to build a cycling log with all of the rides.
  20. Hi Tank, I use my cycling computer, together with my phone. My phone does not have a heart rate monitor, as I only started cycling 5 weeks before 94.7. At the moment I do not see the relevance of a heart rate monitor. My phone does however give me a much more accurate reading on how far I have cycled. true speed and it also maps the routes that I have cycled. I put my phone into one of my backpockets on my shirt.
  21. my phone does the same as what a Garmin does. And the nice thing is it doesn't cost extra money for using the tracking service
  22. I would take the mounting bracket to an engineering firm. And get them to make it of a stronger material. I think will be expensive
  23. getting waisted on Vodka makes a lot woman look really fine??? :lol: but I must be honest without the Vodka THEY ARE FINE!!!
  24. .... when the taxi drivers dictates who runs the country and when workers gets to go to work.
  25. At least the dude with the lotus knows something about color coding!!!!
