  1. The problem with the nespresso jobbies is those pods get expensive. They do make a nice cup. So after a year i would have been financially better off if I bought a 5K bean to cup machine. When we did the original math we drank one or two cup each a day. Nice coffee makes you drink a few more. First world problems
  2. If you are the scape goat. Drag the rest down with you.
  3. Anecdotal evidence alert. Crossfit and eating healthy. My wife lost went from 64-52Kgs in three months. Crossfits 3x a week. Cut the snacks and the booze. Fresh foods. the less processed the better The whole group dynamic does make it a bit easier. you will k@k the first few times Disclaimer: consult your physician before blah blah blah.
  4. So are you selling ? How much ? for how long ?
  5. Bloody UCI. How difficult can it be to make up rules. All sporting rules are arbitrary. Everybody just needs to compete within the same rules. The one that does best within these rules are the winner.
  6. I love my hardtail. But for a multiday it is softtail.
  7. I tend to sit more on my soft tail than I do on my hard tail I have to add that the hardtail is a single speed.
  8. To everyone that raises anecdotes as evidence. Your sample group is too small.
  9. I Did whine2wails on 4 weeks of training last year. Made it, Suffered like hell. Can be done. Like Greg said. Dont overtrain now.

  13. Last year I had to abandon day 2. Got I lift with people that followed their riders around. They camped. The Thing is they dont really cater for spectators/seconds or crew to follow around. So you camp "outside" of the camp.
  14. Regarding: The OnOne inbred. Will 650 wheels fit on the 26" Or is it a stupid idea. ?
  15. Dibs, Schmibs. If you give the seller a call and an agreement is reached that an item will be kept. Then he or she can be considered a scoundrel for not honour the agreement. But the seller is not obliged keep it on ice just because you have the fastest fingers.
  16. I ride ss now 80% of the time. I walk into the garage and I take the ss. Has any one compared their geared vs ss average speed. on the same routes. I find that I am only about 15% slower if it is single track. ( Braamfontein spruit,Delta park, Albertsfarm route) Things to consider. I havent ridden my geared bike in anger all year and I chase every thing on the ss. My legs feel more damaged after a ss session.
  17. J-Rod dissapointed in the TdF last year. He cost me in the fantasy League. On This form hw just might make it back in to the team for this year.
  18. The escapees, who have begun to climb the Alto de Coubet have a lead of 9:20 http://www.voltacata...ca/encarrera/3/ The ticker is in spanish Catalan but google translate works fine

  20. Take a nappy(Disposable/very ungreen) . Fold it inside out. shove it in the shoe. It wont be bone dry but It soaks up a bucket of water overnight. Yes I do pack nappies when doing a stage race.
  21. This is why it so much fun passing people on my rust bucket single speed that creaks like hell. I know it hurts, I have considered cuttin open a pair of vrot crocs to cover my cycling shoes just to complete the insult Then that guy on his unicycle hops off the trail to give you space and you know you are compensating too.
  22. I have a theory regarding this. Spend enough at a bike shop and thay'll piss you off by getting the basic wrong. Move on to the next shop and repeat
  23. Why I can't wait for the weekend. Finished the build last night. Learned a lot. Putting on brake hoses. Ghetto tubeless, Did everything but the wheelbuild myself.
  24. Finished my STR29 build last night. If this ran will only stop.
