    Will Vibram sue Adidas in the way Apple did with Samsung? These look a LOT (read exactly) like Vibram five fingers... http://www.rapport.co.za/MyTyd/Nuus/Kaalvoet-in-jou-skoene-20110916
  2. Voted, just cos I was there when you just started cycling on your uncles old bike... Good luck Luan!
  3. You should try riding more varied routes, your mind will soon change. With that ratio, you are either an 80's ex pro (they had nothing else) or you ride downhill most of the time. Not many people ride a 54 on a road bike - you must be very fast!
  4. and bottle...
  5. Tunariaan... Is die tuna voor jou naam eintlik soos in "Tune ha" riaan (soos in jou vrou wat die Attakwas en Epic gery het- respek) of is dit virrie vis wat jy van die boot af vang? Welkom oppie wielnaaf - hier is n spul narre wat mekaar lekker die Mo€r in maak, dit meestal nogal entertaining. Moet jou maar nie te veel steur nie, hulle is gewoonlik kleinerige outjies met duur fietse wat baie van hulleself dink. Maar diep binne is hulle n vriendelike lot.
  6. Well, I have always ridden 53/39 and 12-25. I have a heavy bone structure I bought a new bike recently and did the maths. a 50/11 is a stronger gear than a 53/12 and the compact allows me to climb most hills. People should not diss a compact so easily. I opted for a compact and have not regretted it. to the OP - you ratios seem fine for the intended riding.
  7. OK, on a serious note. Zork - CRC's turnover is in the region of £200m (if I remember correctly). They are probably one of the biggest retailers in cycling. Order and you will have your goods in record time and save a wad of cash. Remember , the bigger your order, the more you save, so technically you can save yourself into bankruptcy
  8. Pretty sure you do...
  9. Pardon my ignorance, but how is it supposed to work if you are to receive money? Surely they cannot scam you out of money if they only have your paypal address? And who'd be stupid enough to send a bike anywhere without payment? Is he hoping you send the bike before you receive KASH? We live in a sick place...there are too many bad people out there!
  10. Nah, CRC will not supply cheaper than current CWC suppliers...doubt this statement is true.
  11. That is why I was asking as I am SA bound next Thursday, could have saved the OP a couple of rondts
  12. May we ask what the price was?
  13. Nah, no tandem! That is a rondom pic I picked of google.Will be ridign on my own road bike, with a 34/27 gear ratio
  14. See my other fred : https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/107701-my-weekend-ride/page__p__1486805__hl__weekend+ride__fromsearch__1#entry1486805 Sat - Stelvio Pass Sunday : www.dolomiticlassic.com Monday : Sella Ronda Tuesday - Back on mud island
  15. Trackstanding! Used to suck at it, nowadays hardly ever unclip!
  16. It is Stelvio Pass - 23odd km and roughly 1550m of ascent, 46 switchbacks. We only have Saturday morning :-)
  17. Thought I'd share my excitement with all of you. My weekend rides will be :
  18. I had a good chuckle at that one...Enjoy the ride!
  19. 2 Keer wat is n S works RABO - moet dit nie SAXO wees nie? RABO ry Giant...hoop nie jy het RABO team kit gekoop nie want dan gaan hierdie **** grappies nooit ophou nie...
  20. tjop!
  21. I was once witness to someone arriving at a club ride with a Merida 96 D - inside a Porsche Boxster - Wheel in that front little boot thing, onother wheel on front passenger seat and the bike bit behind the seats. Was quite a nice bloke (not really a tjop) but I found it slightly amusing...
  22. When your BMI/weight of your bike > 3,5 for road or > 4 for MTB and you wear XXL Assos kit (and only Assos kit) aka - MAMILs or when your deep section carbon wheels never make that "whoosh"ing sound...
  23. And now you paid more than you would have at Westdene (from your other thread). Hope you have learnt your lesson...Enjoy the ride.
  24. AEBRO, what is your usual helmet size? It might make you feel better if you know the Catlike helmets are big, really big. I use a medium in all other brands but a small Catlike. There is a chance that it would be too big for you anyway.
  25. Anyone has a voucher code they do not intend using, I am about to place a fairly large order and can do with 10% or so...
