  1. Also notice that. Of another brand I had the knock off from a mate, they were cheap and at the time convenient. Visually I didn't notice anything different either, even on the optical side with the lens, after a few weeks though I started getting headaches on my rides. Stopped when I chucked the shades. Nothing to say for sure it was the glasses, but with something optical I reckon extra care should be taken, as even looking through the lens might be no different there can be subtle differences. Even in chemical makeup for uv protection etc. Ironically I did my apprenticeship in optics, so really should know better.
  2. From the images I'd bank on alu.
  3. Reuters Sport first announced Chad le Clos being from France, needless to say they very quickly corrected themselves.
  4. Hectic, was in PE from Thursday to Friday and couldn't believe the rain! Norman Hudlin Trails looked more swimable than rideable ...
  5. "Tom Daley Twitter Controversy: UK Police Arrest Teen Over Malicious Tweets At Olympic Diver" http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/31/tom-daley-twitter-police-olympic-diver_n_1722739.html#postComment
  6. Isn't the human body still adapting in some ways to extreme exercise?
  7. Unfortunately **** camera work has nothing to do with twitter. The motorbike stuff was shocking, should've subbed the work to ASO.
  8. There is a similar thread here where the guys also discuss Emmerentia .... Personally I think you're all barking mad!
  9. Yeah, Robyn even worked upfront for a bit, hope her back is ok after the crash. Issue should not be with the athletes, but the application of the selection process. Think many critics are being very quick to attack the athletes here. Saw the tweet about Carla, it was very quickly ripped out of context by posters and can only agree with you. Would be incredibly piss poor character to drag that into the discussion.
  10. You can also try; http://www.dunkeldcycles.co.za/ 011 341 0627 or http://www.complete-cyclist.com/joburg-store.htm 086 111 6230
  11. Yeah I remember that, difference between a bit of a blubber and a full on '5 yr old I just dropped my ice cream' tantrum though. Ask me, I've dropped my ice cream before... wasn't a pretty scene.
  12. That's way ott, have some pride for crying out loud.
  13. Happiest about the ten speed twist shifts!
  14. More than anything that comes across as vindictive, hope as much effort goes into creating a viable solution?
  15. If you remove that chip, you'll find they have a definite plan based around performance, regardless of race. It has to be, to gain entry to the TdF. The black riders on that team have earned their place as much as anyone. Most likely anyone of them will ride you of their wheel.
  16. Cycling is showing a lot of growth and interest on the continent, much like running and soccer. Given the parallel between cycling as a sport as well as transport, it makes perfect sense. Riders from Kenya, Rwanda, Ethiopia and Eritrea have shown massive potential with the right support. These guys have been able to show performances under conditions that'd make most of us give up at the beginning. From the launch/gala dinner it was stated; The goal is to have an African team at TdF within the next 3-5 years. Comprising of an approximate mix of 60/40 - 70/30 percent African/Euro pro riders, possibly developing the team closer to a 100% African rider profile. http://www.qhubeka.org/2012/2012/06/mtn-to-pursue-tour-de-france-dream-with-mtn-qhubeka/
  17. Seriously doubt that it endangers anything, other than people reading far too much into wag wars on Twitter.
  18. Will be missing this on the weekend ... In PE then
  19. Have bought from Solomons a couple of times with no issues.
  20. Like the ten posts before being able to put up an ad ....
  21. God, we're getting more Americanized every day. Say how much we enjoyed the event, then in the same breathe mention the possibility of legal action. Meine vok .... it's just too funny!
  22. Hero worshipping is silly, bordering on dangerous.
