Mr SingleTrack

let me know if you find one

I plan to do another double lapper at the 94.7 again this year so I should have the road bike tits in place

thx...

you did tooooo well for me to believe you. Did you then perform so well due to "natural skill" or do you blame jcza's Jagabombs?

So, I got no hits on the other thread so I decided to start a new one. I am in need of some cycling coaching to up my game before the 2014 joberg2c. With the other hubbers doing the cadence training etc I will be somewhat slow in comparison come joberg2c so I will need all the help I can get. I've done a couple of stage races and followed those generic training plans. they did work a treat but I think it is time to get a personalised plan that focus on my weaknesses etc. Can you recommend a coach in the JHB area? BTW, please go ahead and post all your joberg2c related training comments/content here. This thread does not have to be dedicated to my coach searching. Anything goes to get the ball rolling (other than my coach recommendation question), when do you plan to start your joberg2c training?

so, any suggestions for a good jhb based cycling coach?

There seems to be a couple of cycling couch threads but none of them are current. I am looking for a good the best coach in JHB. I will need to up my game if I want to be able to suck the hub gang's weels at Joberg2c next year...

sorry I can't see your location on the mobile BB app but is you are in JHB, try MSC. Not the cheapest but they usually have stock

hahaha, 'deffo' some serious sarcasm in my previous post like WD said. I actually think smallblock8 tyres are so shyte that they won't even grip on sandpaper... BTW, my racing wheels sport a ron and ralph combo, both SS

not yet, only opeing July

I don't have extra cash laying around because of this, I only have less dept...

get some smallblock8's, deffo for your front wheel. they have awesome grip

so my wife decided that she will be paying for my entry as a bday prezzie all I need to do now is make sure I get an entry

all kitted out and he still can't ride a bike! But then again, I can't play rugby...

I don't agree with some of the given answers so here is mine: 1. Yes (if the downhill is technical). 2. Slightly heavier than what you would normally use at that speed (in other words 1 gear up). Why? If you go over rocks that suddenly brake your momentum, you will need to put power down immidiately to get over the rocks. You won't be able to put power down in a light gear relative to your speed. Note that youy should not be in too heavy a gear as you will not be able to put down enough power to clear thw obstacle. Anyone disagreeing with this, I urge you to try this technique, you can thank me later. 3. Yes, almost always. I even used my front brake at Sani2c day 2 going down the umko in the very slippery mud. It is called brake control. Get to know your brakes and know how much braking to apply. Endos and front weel slipage does not happen because you used the front brake, it happens because you did not apply the correct braking force... 4. Check to see that they are not worn out (don't think they are fine just because the LBS just serviced your bike...). If there is sufficient brake surface left they might just be a bit dirty or need to bed in again (the LBS might have swopped them around by mistake...) Sorry about my spelling, on my BB ATM

Dammit! Now I am hungry as hell! Threads like these should be banned!

I am giving up my entry this year as I am planning to do joberg2c next year. I've already received 2 PMs wanting my entry by the means I've mentioned...

or look for someone that did sani2c this year but won't be dping next year. strike a deal with him/her on the side and get him/her to enter again only to transfer the entry to yourself afterward...

Hey here is another good idea, maybe I should spray my underpant bofore the next Magalies Monster

Soooooo, do you think I will be able to swim faster if I give myself a couple of coats?

Very cool product

your bike and those Enve wheels are definitely waisted. I'll offer you 2k for the lot

any news on the block entry?

oom is getting soft! guys, hide your bum cream
