  1. Sungun From your questions I gather you want to enter the supplement industry. My advice would be to keep your day job. It is a dog eat dog world. You can put my words in your 2015 diary. DM
  2. What happened in Johannesburg is just a reflection of the general attitude that non-cycling citizens have towards cyclists and cycling in general. This will never happen in a European country. As a South African citizen, I bow my head in shame. Dawie Malan
  3. Clean the area on the inside of the tire properly with sandpaper until the rubber is rough. Put some vulcanising fluid on the area and set it alight for about 3 seconds. Put a patch, used in car tubes, twice the size on the damaged area, like you would patch a tube. Dont set the house on fire.
  4. Epic Pro from USN. It is more expensive than other brands but it does work. Use it for training, racing and recovery. DM
  5. Transfer fees you can get reduced if your seller is willing to use your appointed attorney and he does the transaction for you pro amico"for free' or for an agreed discounted amount. Transfer duty can be viewed the same way as VAT on the transaction. Only way to bypass that is if the property is in a CC or company and a transfer of shares is executed. if not, you have to cough up. Banks do finance extra costs in some cases. Hope this helps.
  6. Hi Everybody There will be a memorial ride for Adam tommorow (Saturday 10 April) from the Bruce Reynecke Shop at 06:30 up to the top of Klapperkop. The normal club ride will comence afterwards.
  7. Racing Ralph go for ?R500 on the internet and R800 in a bike shop. Nobby Nic in front is great for wet single trac, but you have a lot of resistance from the big knobs on the tire.
  8. Firstly spray the whole bb with penetrating spray such as winflon or Q 20. Wait half a day and then use the park toot bb nut, not a bb spanner, as the nut have a lot more surface grip. And use a lot of leverage.
  9. Tabasco, 1 mm can make a difference. I would also suggest you start taking two teaspoons of glutamine a day to increase the sinovial fluid in your joints.
  10. Stretch your hamstrings, quads and your ITB. Straighten your leg until the patella feels loose and push the patella gently to the left and right so it stretches the ligaments. Do not operate or spike cortisone no matter what they say. It sounds like you made small saddle or cleat adjustments. Try to go back to the original settings before the knee pain, but do it in small increments.
  11. Captain Dura, you can pop the seal of the bearing and put some grease inbetween the bearings. Then you take a compressor and blow the grease evenly inbetween the bearings. Put some more grease and put the seal back on. If the bearing soes not work properly, punch it out and go to Bearing Man. SKF and other makes has those bearings for cheap. And remember, next time you purchase a bike or frame, get extra sets of bearings from the shop. (usualy at no extra charge). Good Luck
  12. Good stolen bicycles always pop up again. Maybe we can get Archie's bikes specs somewhere. And don't buy a bike if you haven't spoken to the previous owner!!most decent bike shops/middle men will provide you with that detail.
  13. Check the Beeld today! Well known cyclist Archie Holtzhausen and his son were robbed of their bicycles in Centurion with AK's yesterday at 13:00. This morning wolverine had a near miss in Waterkloof. Watch out! Especially if you are riding single track.
