aahhh thanks swissvan.... guess I form part of the 'not so cool' brigade cos I have cane creek bar ends on my riser bars. I haven't seen anyone pointing and sniggering yet, but then again I form part of the 'I don't give a **** what other people think' brigade so it doesn't really matter then

a homosexual handlebar?!!!?

Come on Saffa.... did you really need this advice or did you just want us all to know that you drive "the latest" 3 series Beamer?

6 pages and not one person has answered my question..... WTF's a riser bar?

Not necessarily.. I ride a small MTB but my road bike is an XS

I'm with bob here.... wtf what's a riser bar? I have bar ends.... I hope from what everyone's saying here that they're not on the end of a riser bar

hmmm..... can't put a price on the experience and excellent organization, but it is a huge chunk of cash to spend... start saving now!

Hope I still have my entry for next year after my crash on day 2' date=' I need to get back next year.[/quote'] I hope so too... otherwise who'll keep me company at the top of that nasty day 2 climb?

No problem guys... good luck getting an entry, it's an amazing experience

I've just been on the website now and I see that they've already started a waiting list for 2010. I would suggest you put your name down now colin. 'Preferential' entries for this years finishers open in August after which they will be contacting 'waiting list' people first... this is my understanding of how it's gonna work anyway

Wolvie gets my vote...... cos he's my facebook friend

Hmmm..... it has to do with bacon and red wine.... and like a good stew, tastes much better the next day. I'll think about it

hmm well i was hoping we could say you were a cullinary engineer. Lasagna engineer wont pass JB's scrutiny. I have an A+ diploma which means I can pretend to know some technical stuff about PC's? I'm pretty good with Excel? I work with a lot of engineers (I think I'm cleverer than some of them)...... dunno, you're gonna have to help me out here with a title that will pass the scrutiny of Mr Bornman

What is your secret? I make my own pasta and want to try that soon. dude.. if I told you, it wouldn't be my secret

Can't say I have.... I make a mean lasagna though

Boris - you didn't have to tell Dirt Breff what I call him on a public forum (am I the only one that triple-checks the word public whenever I type it to make sure I haven't omitted the 'l'? ) JB - I really struggle to follow your posts, waay too much to read (but then again I have the attention span of a 4 year old), maybe you should consider a short summary at the bottom of your comprehensive post (just for hubbers like me) Durt Breff - when are you and I gonna take that Thomson seatpost and fat @ss (hey, you said it) for a spin around the spruit again?

falling and bleeding was the most fun you joining us? Sure thing! I love falling and bleeding.... part of the mtb allure! Oh yes, I've just remembered I'm in Gautengaleng.. Next time!

Looks like you guys had some fun there! except for the falling and bleeding part RESPECT

Wtf?!.. she's riding my bike! oh... now that I've had a closer look, it's not mine... but will be one day when I'm big

Hi yang, I have a polar CS400 which I download to Polar pro-trainer 5 with no issues. Presumably you're using a USB infrared port? Do you get an error message?

That's the one jagwil Thanks

My fitness isn't a problem.... my speed is

Thanks 1kTT but ermmmm.... fast/medium is relative?
