  1. ok so i know i am not a professional mechanic but i use 2 holdfast straps that i run through the frame, 1 at the seat post join and 1 either behind the fork or in the weld where the top tube meets the downtube, and fling over 2 roof beams about 4 foot apart, means bike is in the air, sturdy as hell and i cant knock it over if i happen to wander 2 close etc. i know its not an answer to your question but as a cheap as chips solution to a problem you cant( in my opinion) get better. oh the straps are the std 25mm cam straps in case you are wondering, you may even have and not need to buy, worst case if you do need to they are only 50 odd bucks.

     

    can be used from any number of objects, lapa timber poles, roof struts, trees, garage door rails etc etc.

     

    :thumbup:

     

    you can carry it anywhere in your pocket aswell !

  2. I did some oooogling.. but didnt really find anything useful!

     

    Hopefully my faithful hubbers can assist here...

     

    I have 2 tiny little holes in my new fancy louis garneau cycling pant (if you've seen the picture (somewhere on the hub) of the mtb fall I had where my chainring manhandled my ass, you'll know what its from)...

     

    Anyway... so how do I fix this?

     

    Is it as simple as just stitching it up?

     

    If you can stitch ma'am, then consider that a feather in your cap lid!

    Most ladies I know can't.

     

    :thumbup:

  3. The one draw back of printing branded merchandise, you cannot control who wears it. But im sure she has a nice personality, if not, then she is totally screwed, nothing worse than a fat ugly chick with a k@k attitude.

     

    That ain't no chick you Nubbins !

  4. It just needs a sticker or two.... but WOW that is hot.... congrats, many happy miles!!!

     

    (sorry, whats up with the reflectors?) the rule is you have to take those off and pin them onto tree's/obstacles on your local trials....

     

    There is a sticker on the head tube. Enough with the stickers.

    Be gone knave!

  5. excuse my ignorance and hijack - but what is the fuss about single speed.

     

    I ride road and mtb...done all the major road races and most mtb races and will be doing my second epic next year..... to me a SS would will imply an intense workout depending on gearing so my question/s as to why applies on all frothankadvancevancevance :-)

     

    Uhmmm.

     

    How to explain?

     

    Imagine finding a cellular phone that can make a phone call. One with numbers that you can see first, before letters.

     

    Making sense?

     

    Just imagine.....

  6. Fantastic weekend down the coast. Traffic was really scrappy getting there. Plenty bikes on their way to Margate for Africa Bike Week. All well behaved with one exception of one group.

     

    Traffic back was well behaved, with the exception of one id 10 T. Made worse by the fact that your macho driving style, with limited skill, was exacerbated by the fact that your 6-8 year old son was romping about on the back seat, and standing between the front seats.

     

    And guess what?! When, having traveled at the prescribed speed limit / safe driving speed, I finally caught up with you, you were sitting behind an 18 wheeler waiting for your turnoff.

     

    So, to ND 94868 - You're a Chop mate!

     

    And whilst I couldn't care less; in my usual Freudian fashion, if you wrap yourself around a tree, please try not to be so selfishly pig- headed as to think it is your right to visit that same fate on your wife and child!
