Mr SingleTrack

I am with you on this one. Squirt is crap! You should have seen the guy's face at the sani2c waterpoint when I told him "that **** does not touch my bike" when he asked if I want some squirt for my chain. And I wasn't trying to be rude, it was the politest way for me to convay how I feel about squirt. Edit: I'd rather lube my chain with mud!

best of all the lubes I've ever used. The only problem is that I can't find the big bottles anymore and the little bottles are too expensive

...Cyclelab cloased their doors...

because you are going to run a MASSIVE promotion on 10 speed XT chains

there is a term for these folk - dirt roadies. Sani2c is full of them...

I am still working on a way to break it to my wife though Lets hope she forgets our anniversary or something big like that

planning to give my race entry up as well. Hoping to see you guys at jhb2c

And don't let anyone tell you there is a climb! pfft

thought as much

I am sure babbas is do-able on a road bike. This should give you an indication of the terrain

my brain is easily as small and wrinkled as a noodle and hence the terminology. I seriously hope your... does not look like a noodle, at least for your better half's sake

I do feel better protected with a helmet on my noodle. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt

I bet your tyres clear mud like a boss

someone should teach Rex how to corner, there is way to much tread left on those side knobbies

what distance did you get on it?

I can already see Dips running one of these trolley-surfers over with his car whilst shouting "STRAVARSHOLES"

perhaps he was pushing his own limits to get his STRAVA KOM

I just hate it that everyone hate everyone else

agree

to be honest, I don't ride the spruit a lot because of the people. If you've ever wanted to see a bunch of snob cyclists, just go to the spruit. I find that 90% of the people there think they own the trails. It is such a great place to cycle but damn, people are idiots

I am doing 3T on the 1st weekend of Oct and B & B on the 2nd weekend. Just had to mention it for all those of ya with PSD...

T & R

not very tight. The pivots on my bike is specked to 25nm and that is easily reached with a torque wrench that has a 20cm handle without much preasure applied. My suggestion is to rather get a torque wrench though

I agree that upper body muscle size has an adverse effect on cycling. Don't fool yourself though, roids will make a big guy climb a hill that will leave lightweights in the dust. It is banned for a reason. Look, I don't want to jump into this argument because I can't really care less. I don't care if you support Barry or not. I am sure the guy is a good guy accept for the whole doping thing. Barry, if your story is true, then I feel sorry for you because there was no intent from your side. However it does seem like you used roids for 3Towers so this whole argument is Mute. You did however own my respect for not getting your B sample tested and denying the results like some of the pros... The fact of the matter is just, roids are banned for a reason, don't think for one moment there are no benefits to be gained from using it. And yes, doping is wrong in sport, it does not matter where you place... I wish the benefit could have been given to people than unknowingly have banned stuff in their systems (like some flue meds etc.) But unfortunately this can't be done because some of the b@stards among us will use this excuse to dope...

fixed some of the typos in the above
