May he have multiple punctures,run out patches and have no signal for his mobile while it rains and hails! Nb: this only applies if was seriously running a scam.
Looking for entries please!!! 40 or 70, and if possible 2 or a combo of either. Willing to donate my left nut! Please note: me missing the entry was not due to lack of planning, but rather uncertainty with work commitments, however, my friend just planned badly.
I saw one in my lbs that had "Shimano" printed on it, so it must be good. Also looked like it could hold lots of water and even some "tools" if need be!!!!!!!
Ok, I've been following this fred and see that this is a major cost saving dilemma for some. Here's the Smolster's step by step guide to finding out what suits your needs: Saddle bags: 1. Buy a cheap R30 shimano wannabe saddle bag 2. Go to garden and collect rocks and place in saddle bag to simulate the same weight as the amount of equipment you are penny pinching on 3. Add number of coins to the bag to simulate the normal rattling you might endure when driving down the gravel road over extreme corrugations (spelling) 4. Inflate tyres to 4 bar for maximum effect and traction 5.Ride down gravel road at top speed and aim for all the extreme bumps 6.Go back home and reflect Camelbak: 1. Find old high school rug sack that you kept because one day you might need it (its your lucky day) 2. Go to shop number 1 (aka liquor store) and purchase some of natals finest pap sak 3. Place pap sak in rug sak (NB: remember to drink the additional 2l if you planning on a 3l camelbak) 4. Throw in some cutlery and a few rocks to simulate additional equipment you have not bought yet 5. Ride down gravel road as fast as possible and aim for all bumps 6. Go back home and reflect 7. Finish pap sak. After a few hours of reflecting, go and buy which ever one made you faster
Mike the reason why it is perceived that roadies have better is skills is that they make sure they never fall off so they don't dirty their white lycra
