The gruber assist is the only one that we know about. If it could be built for 31.6mm' date=' it could be built for anything. Making the conspiracy even deeper. Batteries could even be stored in the frame where it runs from the crank to headtube. Throw in some nice light batteries in the construction of the frame, no one will ever know about it. [/quote'] Maybe... the frame IS the battery! when constructing the frame they added a couple of Li-Ion wraps to the carbon!!! Genius! Even better, the frame is a solar panel

The device does exist, see the following articles: http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/uci-denies-reports-of-motorised-doping http://www.gizmag.com/gruber-assist-electrifies-just-about-any-bicycle/11609/

Yup. Still coughing up bits of lung and the watts are BAAAADDDD...... So this will be party ride whhoooohoooo Yeah right, I can just see it now, when Spidey realises as the sprint begins that he actually does have legs, there will be snot and trane and bits of lung everywhere. See you up there dude and enjoy your ride/race.

Sounds good' date=' but was it one of those once-off things in the area or are they planning on continuing it in the area? Is the message getting to the Argus-94.7 fun rider type riders as well as the more dedicated riders like the type found on the Hub? Just seems that there is little point in "preaching to the converted" so to speak.[/quote'] It is widely accepted that clubs are being very proactive in getting the message across, unfortunately members are not always listening to the message and sticking to the rules. The CGC campaign is aimed at both clubs and individual or small group riders. The campaign will certainly be an ongoing effort and as mentioned will be taken to other areas as well.

As mentioned in the letter above last Saturday saw the first of the CGC awareness campaigns where they were stopping cyclists and handing out brochures of the CGC code of conduct. As far as law enforcement bodies getting involved.... watch this space.

At one of the recent ongoing meetings between the cycling fraternity and Cradle Residents it was agreed that a letter would be posted on the Hub claryfing the issue of the lawyers letter mentioned in this thread. Below is the text of that letter written by the Charman of CGC Giovanni Mottalini. Please note that the participants at the meetings had agreed not to post matters on the Hub as it usually leads to more arguments and inflames the situation even more. I can report back that at the meeting held last week we do seem to be making progress and with the participation of all the parties involved including representatives from cycling clubs, residents, CGC and Mogale Public Safety we are confident that we can move forward. One of the biggest problems identified is the condition of the widened road, this is being addressed as a matter of urgency with Provincial Authorities. Letter from CGC: Dear Members,<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> As I am sure that you are all aware, the Cradle Area has been designated a cycling friendly area specifically to promote cycling on the route. However the use of the roads has to based on good road riding ethic. As a member of a CGC affiliated club, members are made aware of the Cycling Code of Conduct and club rides are held accordingly. Noncompliance by riders on the route just brings negative criticism to our sport. As a cyclist we are obligated to abide by the rules of the road as any other road user, cycling does not exempt us. There was an incident earlier this year on the Cradle Route which was highly emotive and generated a thread on the HubSA and a lawyer?s letter was posted as well. The letter was related to a specific incident and referred to the residents of the Cradle area, at a recent meeting regarding the letter in question it was agreed to remove the reference to the residents, the letter however, has not been withdrawn. This past weekend saw the beginning of a CGC awareness campaign which is to be run across our province and will require specific clubs to manage similar events in their areas. We really do need to ensure the correct use of our roads by our cyclists and I believe that if we are seen to be making an effort motorists may do their bit. CGC have got the support of the authorities to assist in improving legislation with regard to cycling and in so doing try to align ourselves with cycling across the Global Village. To all our members we call upon you to assist CGC and your clubs in getting the message of safe cycling to all cyclists that are not affiliated, when out on our roads. We welcome all constructive input and should you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact our office, thanks. Yours in safe cycling Giovanni Mottalini (Chairman)

And shimano spd cleats to screw onto the bottom of the shoes (they don't come with cleats)

Howzit Slave, improving every day thanks. Getting my replacement bike today and with lot's of begging and pleading to my physio she has agreed to let me take her for a very easy spin tomorrow. How's things going with you, any idea how long before you can start some light training again?

Just don't make Slave laugh.

But its Pink !!!

Sounds good I will steer but you will have to do all the pedalling.

Hey Kurt, get better soon. How about this for a plan, you lend me an leg and I will lend you an arm, we will make a good team. So are you riding the crit with one arm tomorrow?

Tell you what Slave' date=' find me a bike that I can ride with one leg and I will gladly hop on over and fix your flat tyre. And I promise I won't make you laugh [img']https://assets.bikehub.co.za/legacy_images/smilies/smiley36.gif[/img]. Get better soon.

I am here, I saw Trubie at Cyclelab this morning, from there we went to see the Doc to have the bandages, stitches (staples actually) and splint removed. Doc is happy with the way I have healed but the depressing news is he doesn't want me to start riding again at least until I have seen a physio next week. Seems the ligament damage was worse than I thought and it can take up to 6 weeks to heal properly. So I am not a happy chappy right now and I agree it is easy to say there is always next year but when you have put so much effort into your training for a specific event just to have it all thrown out the window it is not cool. Also it is my first year in a new age category so was hoping to do well.

Suggest you make it a different night to the Delta Park race you might get guys wanting to do both. Thursday is probably best.

I sense a conglomerate coming here, Fournos in C.T. and CWC in JHB.

Condolences to the family and thanks to those that tried to assist.

Is it safe to lean it against the garage door? Nice bike by the way.

Garmin, track at impact (this is on a long downhill). Motorbike track hand drawn in red.

Yeah, bunch of woosies, I will come park my broken bianchi outside one day next week, hobble in and have a grappa with you.

Thanks Thug , I had frisco instant cr@p coffee and rusk, still waiting to see if they bring me brekkies.

reminds me of a 2012 type scenario.
