  1. I have the crests and weigh 105kg. Wish i had saved my money. They recon with the right spokes etc these rims have no weigh limit. They flex like a rubber band!!!! When i stood to climb or braked into a corner the front wheel would flex so much that the tire would rub on the fork.
  2. hmmm. I always freeze my bottles. Didnt know it would be bad for me.

    Zipp Handlebar

    Thats interesting. I have been waiting for mine since October and was told that none had arrived in their container that docked in November.
  4. LOL i saw that video in another thread. Very funny. PS. My bike setup is amazing!!!
  5. Two words i did not try. I was looking for one where they specifically mentioned a product available from Sportsmans Warehouse and another outlet. But thanks for the help anyway.
  6. What is the life cycle of a gym top or cycling top? The gym top i have is an Addidas climacool top that i have had for about 1.5 years and have worn about 7/8 times in that period.
  7. I thought it was a valid question as i have two gym shirts and a few cycling tops that seem to have an odour when putting them on. I mean i do know how to operate a washing machine and use of detergent but it is a known fact that sometimes the sweat odour does not get washed out! PS. Wiping your ass has been covered in the thread above linked through TNT1
  8. I think sweat returned over 1000 posts and i searched through the first 5-10 pages and did not find what i was looking for. PS. I read that thread and that is not the reason i asked my question. The the rest with the informative comments. Much Appreciated.
  9. I had mine done at Summit Cycles yesterday. Man what a difference!!!
  10. Hi there All I know this has been mentioned before but i have spent the last 3 hours searching for the thread but have now given up. I read somewhere on the hub that there was a specific detergent to wash your cycling/sports clothing to help get the sweat odour our of the clothing as it just does not seem to come clean in the washing machine. Part of that thread said you could get said product from sportsmans warehouse but when the wife went there today she got some of the strangest looks and was told to go to pick n pay. Any help on where and what the name of the product is please?
  11. Usher let slip yesterday while i was chatting to him that to get to the venue he is trying to get, he drove for 3 hours. Left home at 5 and was on the bike by 8h30. But that was all he gave away! (Sneeky Bugger)
  12. I just spat my water all over my screen when i read that.
  13. I rode the course last night with Wendell. What an awesome route! Even the guys on SS will enjoy it.
  14. SUMMIT CYCLES - only just started using them but find them knowledgable and a great bunch of guys. Plus they were the only ones who could get my 2x10 conversion working. The Cycle Hub - Because Wendell is just a genuine guy.
  15. Did the MTB on saturday and came 17th in a time of 2:24(or something like that). Had every intention of doing the road race on sunday but felt K@K when i woke up.
  16. I was 100% on saturday morning. Went for a ride in the afternoon and 30min after the ride i could feel i was not feeling good. By the evening it had hit and by sunday i was man down. I cant afford to be sick. I am self employed. 1 man business and i am doing Berg and Bush this weekend. I dose myself up with Viral Choice, Corenza C, and mother natures best remedy Echinaforce. I swear by Echinaforce. Last night i had a sore throat. This morning nothing. Just a groggy head which will hopefully get sorted out by friday. (keeping fingers crossed)
  17. I just cant take you seriously. Everytime i see your name i crack up at the movie. Shake and Bake!!!! (yes i know that was not the name of the movie)
  18. i have done a 3:25 on a dual sus with knobblies

    Child seat

    I have the Giant one that goes behind the seat and above the wheel. My son hated it. I then bought the Wee-Ride - he loves it. I get to interact with him alot more on the ride. He also gets to see more of the ride than just my ass. Also with him being mounted in the centre the handling of the bike is much better and he gets a bit of the benefit of the shock as opposed to feeling every bump. If you insist on going the rear wheel mount version you can have mine. Its laying in the garage doing nothing.
  20. What shoes are you riding with? Are they a tight fit( Are your feet cramped) Are they fastened too tight. Is your cleat in the correct position? Stangely i have this problem with a pair of Sidi Shoes. there is so much flex in the sole(not a carbon sole) that i can feel the pedal pushing into the shoe when i pedal. This in turn puts unnecessary pressue on the foot and i get a burning sensation when i ride with these shoes.
  21. The ass part is just your indoor trainer and getting used to it as well as standing every so often to let the blood flow(as posted bya previous hubber) When i ride on the indoor (2x a week) i can actually tell when i have hit the 40 min mark as my ass is numb!
  22. It wasnt me but i can relate to that.
  23. Ill take a set or two as well. PM me details please.
