Rudi Pretorius

TNT1....I'm with you.

Yup.....I'm with the lbs...talk BS. Maybe I'm wrong here....but when I walk into a bike shop, and been asked if they can help.......I always ask the sale person if he/she is a biker......if not.....I'll ask for one. I always says.....you need to have a interest in bicycles....mtb, road, downhill...ect if you work in a bike shop....because the once with no interest will tell you...….."sorry sir...that will not work on your bike".......OR they doesn't want to help, because you didn't buy from them!!

Nothing wrong with a aluminum bike....my Sola 1 weighing in at 11.9kg's. Not all carbon bikes are lite.

And becareful of scammers!!

12 laps around our local Parkrun course.????

I only have a spinning bike but here I go.... 10 minutes warmup, 20% resistance at 80 - 90 cadence.. 4 minutes 60% resistance seated 1 minute back to 20% and 90 cadence 5 minutes 60% resistance seated 1 minute at 30% and 90 cadence 4 minutes 80% resistance...standing 5 minutes 60% resistance seated 3 minutes 20% resistance 90 cad seated Then I simulate a climb of 30 minutes at 50% cadence...stand and seated Once reach 30 minutes then its down hill for 20 minutes at 10% resistance and last 5 minutes of the 20 I cool down.

Our Nature Reserve is still closed due to Covid...just make sure the Nature Reserve in your area is also opening the 1st May.

I got myself an old spinning bike, and happy with it. Rudi

Any 56 cm complete secondhand carbon road bike in good condition....please!???????? Will pay...R5000.

Me too....will be riding...!

Flat...yes.....but there are those little climbs.......but not that serious. Very possible to do a 35km/h+ avg on this one.

Also needed some advice please I broke my chain twice in 3000km and, yes I’m pissed about it. First time it broke on around 1800km and the second time on about 2900km. After the first break, the shop fitted a SRAM quick link and to my surprise it broke the second time four links behind the quick link. The first time when it broke I was on the small blade in front and on the second one nearest to the spokes, standing at the robot waiting for the green light, as soon as it turn green I pulled away and on the second peddle I almost hit the deck when it broke. The second time I was riding slightly up hill, in the same configuration as the first time and then suddenly I hear this cluck-cluck sound and I thought it was my BB, I stop and inspect but couldn’t find anything wrong, climb back on and as I gave the first stroke it snapped, as I mentioned it broke 4 links from the first time. The chain is 105 10 spd brand new out of the box and was fitted by the shop. What chain should I get(any recommendation), and what do you guys and girl think(maybe a **** chain) Rudi

I use FIT and it works lekka. Had one or two or ..... of those flat battery moments but it wasn't the drink it was not eating enough. Rudi
