Rule number 5 is going to apply.

1. 3 2. 6 3. 7

Until you chain breaks?

That's what she said!

You can add the event, as long as you provide a link to the online results with your time. They will confirm and give you the points. Also note that they only go back through 6 months of results. Anything earlier will be rejected. And there is a limit that you will reach pretty quickly so don't bother entering old events.

I signed up this morning and will be training hard after a poor performance at Die Burger. I've heard the climb to the end is tough but if you can finish strong then I'm sure you'll have covered 90% of the Argus training.

ErgoFit if also R550 for one bike, it could go up to R950 for ErgoMax with two bikes. http://renayg.wordpress.com/ergofit/ The difference between a bike fit done at a LBS and one done professionally (ErgoFit/CycleFit) are worlds apart. I've had both done and the professional fitment is much more scientific and tailored to your particular riding experience (muscle condition), flexibility and height. LBS fitment is eye balled and generic as a one size fits all. If all you're looking for is what's the right bike size for you then use this: http://www.ebicycles.com/bicycle-tools/frame-sizer It's close enough for a one size fits all. If you want to optimize performance on the bike and have niggling pains then go for the professional fitment.

I've just been for an ErgoFit, I'm 1.765m, same inseam. I ride a 55cm and it's slightly too big. I had to get a shorter stem to make it fit. I'd say that a 56cm is a size too big as has been said already.

The e-mail says there's a 3 minute gap for each group for A-Z

I've got a C seeding. Second road race, what average speeds should I expect? And how does the seeding work, what are the groups in order?

I had a new wheel built with a SRAM rear hub in April, now I'm told that the freewheel has worn and needs to be replaced. Can anyone tell me if the freewheel body should wear out so quickly or if it was faulty and what recourse I have? I have the bike washed and lubed after almost every ride so I have maintained it. I ride about twice a week, one mid week training ride and a race on the weekend. +- 50km a week during peak season. The LBS won't replace it and the distributors won't replace it under warranty because it's a moving part. Should I just suck it up and take it as wear and tear or do I have reason to chase it?

Congrats, awesome news! So what happened with the insurance? Was it paid out? Now what?

It would be interesting to know, this was the only reason I could think of that my brakes would need to be bled. I've got the 2012 XT brakes. Any experts out there that would be able to confirm if it's safe to store a bike (with hydraulic brakes) upside down? Maybe something for mythbusters....

Isn't this a problem for hydraulic brakes? I stored my bike up side down and had to have my brakes bled after just a few months from new. Seems that the bubbles from the resivoir move up the pipes to the pistons and you lose power. Maybe someone that know's about these things better than I do could comment?
