  1. As far as I know the reason why Permtubes aren’t used other than the thing already mentioned is because they get flat spots or soft spots (whatever you want to call it) and that can get really annoying.
  2. Silverback with out a doubt...
  3. Very Interesting I just wish I knew this 2 months ago.... I was cought out by a Scammster and I lost a 32" LCD TV. It all look legit but some how I got screwed...
  4. Dingo Cycles Potchefstroom, They don't always have what I want in stock but they are always willing to order it and I have it in a day or two. As for the service and knowledge on Products they are great, always get good advice. I only do business with them
  5. what I don't understand is the same people that don't want us on the road buy their kids bicycles for Christmas or birthdays and were do these kids ride, on the road. I cant see how we are a problem for them just drive around us it not rocket science, most of the time we ride in the yellow lane anyway......
  6. Forum Looks great now, love the upgrade.
  7. I am interested, can I possible colect at the end of the month or arrange for it to be collected from you? Can you PM me your address?
  8. I road this race but I only did the 30km, these guys pasted me twice and when they did it looked like I was standing still...lol it was a good race and very fun.
  9. If you can't/don't want to buy second hand then maybe have a look at the Silverback Range. you can pick up a Silverback Alpine for R3500 and it is very well speced for its price. Just a thought....
  10. I understand that I have to do very good in a race to be considered, that is obvious. every race I have ridden I have gotten better and better and i normally end in the front half but these are the "not important" races so they don't mean much I have started doing the bigger races like the Down and Dirty and so on but the problem is that there are so many that I want to do but my budget will not allow it. So I can't get better results if I can't enter....
  11. the only problem is in Potchefstroom we don't have clubs like that.
  12. Hi All I have a question, I want to ride more competitively but I can't afford all the races so how does one go about getting a sponsor to sponsor the entry fees and so on? I have a great bike, it is not the best but it is perfect for me so I don't need them to sponsor me a bike or any big thing I just need the entry fee. Do you think it is possible to get a sponsor like this, what will I need to do to get one or how do I go about this? Thanks in advance
  13. Accourding to the website they are using the same rout as last year.
  14. thanks for the info, lets just see if I have it right. If I pay for a CSA Membership tomorrow then it is for the 2012 year? but until when does it last, till September 2012?
  15. why do you want to get the csa license now? as far as I understand it only lasts till December then you have to pay again. Or am I wrong, can someone shed some light on this please???
  16. hi Frances how long did it take before you got you shirt? they told me 3 weeks and I am still waiting I hope it gets here befor the weekend I want to wear the kit at the Nissan Trailseeker this weekend....
  17. I don't think I am near fit enough for the 106km on the Saturday so I think I will enter the 58km for the Sunday rather....
  18. Hi all I have decided I need a Road bike, and I have been looking around at second hand bikes that are in my budget frame. so far I have only found one bike that looks to be worth it.... It is the Scott AFD Expert, I am not sure of the year model at all. it comes with a Richy seat and a computer and it is been sold for R2000. I will have to replace the grip tape and the tyres which will cost me another R800. If I had to take this bike I will be putting on gaterskins ( if I have that right) What do you guys think is this a good buy or not, should I take it or should I wait and see what come up later? this bike is black in colour if that helps at all. I really hope you guys will help me out here. Thanks
  19. I started riding at the end of April with a weight of 96kg and I am currently at 88kg but I would like to reach my goal of 75kg by the end of the year so I have a lot of work cut out for me... O and I am 180cm tall. My ultimate weight goal is under 70kg but I know this is going to take a while.
  20. ROAG is the way to go....
  21. My New Ride!!!!
