  1. So, after 25 years my disc is united with it's original frame...... Now the project can start.... If anyone has any decent history, or owns one, please contact me on 0832339674
  2. These guys are using the alternative veld roads to escape. The actual Delmas road is busy and there are many new Business's with Cameras. Brinnant also guard the new Estate just past the brick factory entrance.....some one must have these guys on CCTV.
  3. I have been in the Motortrade for 30 odd years and we have a similar situation. Usually the Warranty replaced part's labour cost is covered by the Warranty but at a reduced labour rate..... Eg Shimano would replace the XTR derailer valued at R1000 ( cost price ) plus warranty labour rate of .5 hours where as a cash cust would buy the XTR derailer at full price and pay full labour rate. The motor manufacturer I work for even cover vehicle SAPS clearance and registration at NATIS if a Engine is replaced.
  4. Ah.... Now all you tiny feather weights can back off, this is my dept... I'm 6'6' and 100kg... Honestly, avoid carbon, you will either crack or flex it, try find a decent Cannondale CAAD or a Merckx in a std geometry, dont even dare look at a compact frame. Cannondale have a awesome warranty system and the CAAD series are strong, Merckx are brilliant but scarce. You will most likely need a 120mm stem or longer, and longer cranks too. You are most welcome to come over and take my 63 Merckx for a ride.....there was a 63 Cannondale frame on the hub a few days back for a good price!
  5. wow!!!! Fantastic..... and next maybe a hill climb TT from the way bottom gate to the tower!!
  6. Man....The Kop was busy earlier today, roadies, bush wackers and a massive group of runners and Hi Risk were up and down frequently. I love it.....
  7. This is fantastic new........ thank you to all involved.....
  8. I often used to break my roller band and used to cut it off clean and use super glue, it lasts a while but rather get to a Tacx dealer and buy the blue Tacx band, they really last....
  9. Have you guys heard that the guy playing Lance in the new movie" the program" has also admitted to doping under medical supervision as a form of "research" and to fully understand and feel the part!! F#kc I love this sport!!
  10. what about incorporating this protest ride with the monthly mass ride, that attracts a big crowd? We need a petition too....
  11. What about a organised mass ride from KK to Brooklyn Police station to hand over a petition demanding foot patrols, or police on horse back....?? just a thought?
  12. I trained at KK from 5;30 this morning and I felt safe, there was a gaurd at the bottom gate stopping everyone and getting drivers to sign in, and he was friendly to the cyclists, I gave him R10 for a coke when it gets hot and ask everyone who goes there to train, to give the guards a "thank you"! I also did a fews laps on saterday and saw guards at the bottom George Storrar gate, and Parks Board guys patrolling the fence.... A BIG thank you to who ever arranged this and to these guards. I will take loose change everytime I go to show my appreciation!
  13. I wouldnt even mind paying a few Rondts to secure KK, like at Voortrekker monument.
  14. I train at KK almost every day and there have been incidents there that I am aware of for the last 3 to 4 weekends, a group of us confronted a few suspects in the grass 3 weeks back and last saterday the Parks Board Rangers were actually out patrolling after there was an attempted hi-jacking. The danger area is the first corner as you go up,they hide in the "ditch" on the right hand side, and then down near the bottom gate at George Storrar. Maybe we should ask the Police to actually patrol the dirt road that follows the boundry fence too, in between Nando breaks. But if one gets hi-jacked there, cant the Parks Board be held accountable to a certain extent, as it is a reserve under their control, next they going to start poaching the Zebra? Or what about a few of us going early one weekend and hiding out in the bushes and turning the tables on them, from the pattern over the last few weeks,I can almost bet it is the same 2 individuals each time, they have a minimal chance of being caught so they keep coming back! I can almost bet they are actually living in the bushes of KK, and doing Smash/Grab at fountains at night, the ones we confronted 2 weekends back ran and fell over the crash barrier and a plastic bag of cell phones went flying all over. I have no issue spending a day brushing up on my Bow shooting skills.....
  15. I had a very similar issue, severe disc degeneration that caused axcessive curvature of my lumbar region eventually rupturing 3 discs simultaniously....... GROOT ***!! I had an emergency 3 level fusion but am better now than before! secret is lots of core exercises, planks and crunches.... especially static holds!
  16. Yip, I was there too, after they ran off I did another lap and was hoping to catch them down at the fence close to the circle, I waited a while but saw nothing.... I actually think they were smash/grab trash from fountains and were counting their look in the KK bushes..... Its a real pity they took the guards away at the two entrances. Maybe we could suggest a guard patrol to the new stables that are operating in the area
  17. Just had a chat with Juanita who is competing at the Veterans World Championship in TT and road race..... Unofficial results have her as the TT WORLD CHAMPION, beating the second place lady by 0.7 sec. Congratulations!!!That BEST MED kit is going to look awesome with World Champ bands on!
  18. I do most of my training on rollers, and after a week or so youll easily begin to gain stability as your pedal stroke improves. A little secret is to wrap some insulation tape around the front roller about 5 cm from each end, then, if you drift it makes a hell of a noise.... and you can correct! I find rollers improve my cycling more than a IDT, as you feel the bike and the smallest fault in your pedal stroke is amplified, where a IDT keeps the bike locked solid. I also find that pushing a bigger gear on the rollers improves your stability, where as high cadence bounces me around....
  19. Wait a tad until Gary Blem returns from the Vuelta, he is head spanner lad at Team Sky, he always does a few services in his off time! There is no better!
  20. As far as I am concerned, that is murder........ RIP cyclist friend.
  21. WOW..... I'm gonna dump 30 years of medals on your ass.......
  22. Yeah, its going to be a real race this year with a lots of pro's trying to "rescue" the season, but the highlight for me is going to see Dougs dream come true, a African team in the big league. Ive known Doug for years and raced plenty against him, and I really respect what he and Malcolm are doing for SA Cycling, not only was he one of SAs first Olympians and got alot from the sport, but now he is putting back, that is the mark of a true champion. Cant wait!!!
  23. Can I add my 5 cents worth too..... I totally agree with dope testing at Pro level, no matter what substance and I agree with the minimum 2 year ban. A pro cyclist or any sports man for that matter, is representing a sponsor that is paying their salary and expecting positive publicity, a cheating pro cyclist is thus earning big money to do a job! Now here is where my issue starts, I do feel that Vets should be tested but I feel that certain "banned substances" should be looked at under that specific circumstance. This Vet has been bust using a diet "drug" that you get in most off the shelf diet products, so we have a 40 something guy thats making a effort to look after his body, spend money to look and feel better, and not blow it on Klippies and Kola, this VET most likely has no sponsor, pays his own way and has a good career and really does this for fun, and now The Vampires spend thousands to test and bust and ban him......WTF. I am a Vet, been racing almost 30 years and I am on a banned pain killer for a 3 level spinal fusion I had recently, I have never bothered declaring it to the cycling authorities because it has nothing to do with them ( I do however have a Dr script and letter) and honestly, this **** knocks me out cold so I dont really see how I am going to win the next Vets tour on it. My point is, there are lots of folks out there knowingly using so called "banned" drugs to improve their lives, this does not make them cheats, dope heads or anything bad in my eyes.....
  24. Jannas, does Sports tracker work with Iphone cos I can get one but according to the website, they not Iphone compatible?
