Im battling to put the word bullie with a 60 kg bloke. I weight 90 plus (i.e. fat ish) but fit-ish If you want to bullie me, please do I only ask that you do it in the fist 30 km of my ride just so that I can still deal out a VO2 max PK.

1000 post rule? Im on 400 something in 3 years. I really dont have a desire to post more nonsense than I already do

Jinne dis snaaks

Do you add weight training to your cycling? If so - how often do you do squads, and what % of your body weight do you push?

i advertised a dual sus 29er a while ago. i did not do my homework and asked way too little. i had 10 calls in 5 hours. most guys oferred less (really? ) and some guys offerred a lot more...like R4000 more. i kept the deal strictly at my price on a first pay first take basis. the point is...buyers also muddy the water.

Sidebar comment - Sales people will sell the customer what he/she is asking for. I was in Linden cycles (and I serious rate these guys) and this one lady who knew nothing about cycling was telling the sales man what bike her son must get. The salesguy tried this way and that way to ascertain needs/goals/etc but the tannie had her mind made up. Kid got a bike - no idea if he is going to enjoy it or not..but mom was very proud that all her totally invalid and ignorant requirements were met. Sales guy had a sale. win win? Noobs are ignorant. They should do their homework upfront and not complain afterwards about what they were sold. You do your homework when buying a car or a house yes? Why not a bike or a tyre? I agree - also getting tired of people allowing themselves to buy something and then afterwards not happy about their purchase. Poor service and faulty goods aside. Maybe there should be a sister website for TheHub... www.theRantsa Ill go there Friday afternoons for a laugh

and who is hosting?

yep. and then they did not have one my size :-( hybrids are hard to find they seem a tad out of place. i eventually managed to get a giant hybrid my size prev model but what a battle. thing is heavyer than my 29er dual sus carbon. would have preferred the scott metrix though. as this will be 94.7 bike im gettin g ready for people to point and grin. i got the bike to be the horse on the iVortex trainer

At least they declared the weight. Which is more than most of the other suppliers dare to do

Yep. An avalanche of good views!

Im interested in buying goods lots of $$ on EvoBikes but I want to hear from other people's experience with these guys. ?

soooo.....nobody has anything nice to say about this race.?..one hellavu sales pitch you guys have going here. its crappy and crampy whoopoe lets do it again?

The river crossing needs to be fixed. PERIOD. And the organisers need to see of they can throw in a proper hill righ at the start just to sort out the group...its better for all even us slow oaks. Day 1 has 20 km downhill start - and then everyone thinks they are gods - 500 guys must have passed me. And then I have to stand and wait behind them because they cant cycle out the rocky climbs. Day 2 was much much better and the field was sorted at the 15 km mark. Ill be back next year. I think I got what I paid for. But I BEG the organisers to get the seeding right, throw in a easy to pass jeeptrack hill for day 1 in the first 10 km, and sort out the river crossing.

Id say its going to be close to 1,500 of climbing on day 1. Think Sani day 2...but with rocks Trek jou grootseunbroekie aan

eezz....jaaki now that is a practical test ...but a horrible one Holding out for a hub answer :-)
