  1. All RSA taxpaying citizen's jointly own the roads and if you pay municipal taxes in the area like TSHWANE you probably have more right than a non Tshwane resident .That's why Gauteng residents pay toll fees and capetonians don,t
  2. I was or is still considering joining this club for exactly the reason that they ride in a group and have a sweeper car behind .They have a early morning ride on weekends and do about a 100km .A cyclist is by law also a road user and have the fullest right to be there and be safe just like a car or a pedestrian crossing .Even in my own family i have issues with impatient driving around cyclists .
  3. Only in CP .Here in Gauteng nobody ever finds their stolen bikes again
  4. They give good sevice and deals .I bought a bike from them and cost me R550 extra to deliver in Pretoria
  5. I have and regularly ride both .The only advantage a HT has over a DS is when you do a smooth surface climb like a dirt road and some weight +_ 2kg saving .Rocky climbs like most of what we do in Gauteng are easier with a DS .Rider weight is also important .The lighter rider gains less with Ds than a heavier rider
  6. Line entry ! Let as know if it worked
  7. Don,t they have the right to use the road with a car following them .The point of the car following is to give them the same room that a car would occupy .Why don,t you just chill out and rather join them .Since when do cars own the roads anyway .It can be annoying ,but so are slow traffic ,trucks ,pedestrians ,old folk,s .It is not the cyclists but drivers like you that make cycling unsafe .It is a sunday morning afterall .Give people space to live ! And no ! I am not a club member
  8. Agree !,Already have tallboy and highball .If they made a roadbike i would buy that to
  9. Already entered .I like the route .Will be sold out very soon
  10. Don,t ever leave your bike upside down with the little one,s around .they like to spin the wheel and then stick their finger in the biltong cutter AKA disc brake
  11. Yee ,yee Rub it in ! nice pic
  12. Looks heavy and unstable .The Grifter was a better bike IMO
  13. If you know your size have a look in the classifieds first
  14. Well done !Did you train specifically for this .I know the legs and heart will be O,K ,but i am not sure about 17 hours on a saddle
  15. When I want gears I ride my 2 x10 .If not I take the SS .My new bike has very limited space between the crank sprocket and chain stay I can see the potential for chain suck in the wet .For this reason alone I might change to XX1 .Gears make you lazy ,that why I mostly train with the SS .Going xx1 to save weight is stupid

  17. Why not .Everybody thought 27inch will not last and look where we are now .Same with 29inch .If there are advantages it will take of
  18. My daughter rides with ryder spd,s ,same as shimano .Turn the screw that tightens the cleat fit all the way to the negative 'LOOSE" side
  19. If you listen to a Harley engine roar it say's .Look how small my d%&k is ! Over and over again
  20. Good starting piont for Fox is your weight +10 psi front and double that for the rear
  21. Does not bother to much .I ride my own pace .It becomes bad when you are trying to stay in a bunch of hardened roadies that ride on top of each other and you do not feel safe riding that close
  22. The big dipper ! I have left some sweat on that dirt road !Great MTBing area all the way to the Attakwas vally
  23. Do the opposite of what the Aussies are doing !. In Aus there is no competative sport up to the age of 13 .They do not let talent get lost !!No passon for a sport will make it die .In RSA Rasicm is killing a lot of childrens passion
  24. Can,t just read this .It will take the whole B#*&^%y day
  25. We will never know how Meinyjies and van Rensburg would have fared in mens race .Pity !
