Mr SingleTrack

My probleem is daar is te veel bikes wat ek wil moet hê! Single Speed, Trail Bike, XC Race Bike, ens ens ens

klink soos `n goeie spoed vir die 3 Towers. Nou moet ek nog net aan `n plan dink om my bier koud te hou in my Camelbak...

yup, but that is not how the poster reads...

ek bedoel ek ry net 1 spoed en dit is vinnig Ek moet eers `n bank beroof voor ek die singlespeed ding kan doen

not to sure if the "glass" part is a good idea???

Some of our most popular multi-day stage races include Epic, Sani2c, Burg and Bush and Joburg2c to name but a few. Getting an entry for some of these events is another story! when it comes to 1 day races, I enjoy races like Hill2Hill that leaves you with a sense of achievement

Any news on the price?

I managed to convince my wife that I need a “Bike Room” in the house, so that is where my bikes sleep J

"Calling all singlespeed manne"? I also have a singlespeed - fast...

If violence does not work for you, then you are not using enough! Or like my dad always used to say: “If at doubt use a hammer; the bigger the doubt, the bigger the hammer!” For some reason I think the "hammer" advice is not best suited in this situation

I don’t think long rides on the idt are wasteful. My training program contains lactate intervals, stamina intervals and base rides. Base rides are longer at an easy pace. I prefer to do them outside but if i can’t do it outside i will do it on the idt. i cant swap them with short rides of greater intensity as my training plan calls for LSD...

I train according to HR so that I ensure my work out on the roller is sufficient. I glance down every few minutes to look at my HR to ensure I don't just peddle without cause... BTW, I have to work much harder on the roller to get my HR up as when compared to road/MTB rides so my legs work harder....

Get a roller - much better than an A-frame as it is not so boring. Get one with resistence settings so that you can do hill training as well. I usually watch movies or series while I ride (yes, on the roller). A movie is usually about 2 hours or a couple of episodes of the latest series that I am watching does the trick fine. I turn the TV off when I do lactate intervals as I am then keeping an eagle eye on the clock! Either way, time seems to fly past much faster than sitting in an A-frame being bored as hell. And yes, sitting up will change the muscles used (or the extent to which they are used)

anyone can do the double lap and there is no charge. You just have to start your second lap before or with the last batch as they close the start after the last batch starts (to open the roads for traffic...)

hahaha, but +1

I am backing Eldron on this one! Spot on!

remember to sit on your bike while marking the wheel distance... As mentioned, your tire pressure and weight plays a huge role.Sorry about the spelling, I am not near my pc to check...

gaan ry oor "sinkplaat" pad en voel die disadvantage - loss of momentum

there we go, the red stuff

let it dry - use the red stuff (I am not even going to try to spell it ) and drink whiskey for the pain

noooooo, not another 26er vs. 27.5 vs 29er thread! Phrasing the title and description different does not make this thread any different than all the others that we saw recently on the hub

I assume you are talking about the bridge that dips at the top just before if raises a little bit again (the one near the end of the black route)? That is a sneaky bridge as it breaks more momentum than what one would expect.

I agree with all the comments. BMI is supposed to only be a guideline. However it is inaccurate because it does not take into account muscle and bone mass.
