One huge plus of living in warm water environs is we can swim a k or 2 in the sea in the mornings here, no worries about the wee percentage, and more fun than staring down at the black line for an hour. I imagine that's out of the question in CT?

Agreed. Nothing worse than running injuries from too much too soon as a novice runner. That ITB gonna bite you for a long time afterwards. Also make sure your shoes are correct, can't be running in your old fishing takkies

Right over left, under, pull ,over , pull. Bobs your uncle. One plain one pearl in the next lesson boys

Common knowledge. Crotchet (actually crotchette) is the tiny area of padding on a roadies pants, while crochet is a refined form of delicate French knitting that roadies do when they not shaving. Thought that's grade 3 EMS in Cape Town.

I'm worried you even noticed the "crotchet pillow". Think it's crochet actually.

Hey bru,I can't explain the tech of why it works but it works beautifully. The ride on my trek fuel is so smooth and plush under braking. I actually only notice how good it feels when I ride my mates bikes that are made different.

Eye Boh. Thought about showing this to my son, but his moms fun dial might go backwards. Probably be bad parenting.

Eish. Imalini ?

I once phoned the snake catcher cos I saw a huge mamba in my garage as I was moving a cement bag. Thick as my arm. Closed the door and bolted across the road. Dude said just watch the door and wait for him. About an hour later this lighty pulled in with his girlfriend, armed with big catching stick. I opened the garage from across the road and he went in. Fanned around for a while inside and then calls his chick, she walks out with a 10 cm long house snake around her hand and a big smile. They thought it was too funny to take my money, dude said I need to be a bit braver though. My neighbors still wind me up about it.

Cool

Brad you studying medicine?

Watch out for all the viruses being spluttered around the enclosed , humid spinning studio. Going to bite you those things. Safer to ride outside.

Yebo, from cardiac arrest induced by first sight of the beast. No bite needed

I wonder how many snakes have seen us riding past them without us knowing they there. Reckon plenty

If I saw one of those in the bush he wouldn't have to worry about biting me. Be dead already.

At least this bugger not going to try and bite you. It's the mambas and cobras and puffers that were put on earth to frighten and kill people

Wouldn't have a clue. But when you come to Durbs pm me and I'll take you round giba if you like. Lots of cracker rides that go out of the park boundaries anyway. Or mail Jason at giba office. He might have downloads for you.

Just take a couple of plasters with you when you go next time.

No brother, that's not going to work. Keep the red grips and hubs, but spray the bike black. Red sunnies and red and black helmet and you good to go. Styling is most important. Bike won't treat you well or go fast if it looks dodge

I got a sexy red set on my mtb. They are cracker. Very comfy and stable. After a dirty ride I spray them with a high pressure cleaner and they come up as new. Best I've used. Get the red ones, much faster than the other colours.

Agreed. Be very wary of longer stem, affects handling a lot. Only reason to go layback post is to get seat position correct on the correct size frame.

I have a Thomson layback seat post on my Trek mtb, makes a huge difference for me. Took a while initially to get the setup right with stem length and seat position but now it's sweet. It's very individually specific. Go get it professionally done.
