  1. a bike is a bike- last when I checked. Give the top teams Raleigh's and they would still win - not true ?
  2. Like said before. WC is one day vs a 3 week stage race! whats the odds. Some random nut who did not give his all the season might end up winning the one day race considered the WC! 3 week tour better - but cool to have the rainbow jersey ends forever! Don't think Cadel deserved the race for the Rainbow - luck ? maybe. Also unfain because not all the best riders ride in the WC
  3. looks wise I would go for the tarmac. Nice bike
  4. Maybe this photographer should use a bakkie and put a camera tripod on the back - this way he can take a pic of their faces and post them here. Wish I had time to drive around and report on people behaving badly. I mean this is a issue (cyclist trying to own the road) - so is taxi's driving like its their own yard and so for most of normal traffic. Just think this fall's into the "wearing a helmet" category - its your own thing if you get hit by a car of mugged and assaulted for driving in the middle of the road tough luck buddy. Same goes for falling without a helmet and crashing your car without a safety belt . "Nie pille vir dom wees nie" not so ? ASTANA2009-09-28 06:02:12
  5. Enige roadie wat met camelback (en sleveless shirt/wive-beater shirt?) ry IS NO FRIEND OF MINE!! Hulle kan hom maar moertoe ry en sy pelle ook - who cares?.
  6. R.I.P. it feels like yesterday but now its a few year back already! Good memorial.
  7. What pedals do you use ? I currently have some Shimano model on my XC bike. Works really well, but a combination with this and road cycling aggravated my ITB pain so I switched on road to Speedplays - more float is great. On the MTB I am thinking Crank brothers - eggbeaters - but heard that they don't like rocks - thus break easily ?? Other pedal I know that is good - Look Quartz - but not sure how it compares to the eggbeaters Thoughts ?
  8. Imagine if you shaved (assuming your a mtb'er then) - way easier to clean yourself after playing in the mud
  9. Classic style man - lived in the time of Supermario as well!!
  10. Why does nobody like BMC bikes ? i think they are hot. The new '10 The old '08/'09
  11. WTF is up with the back wheel ? Looks like a skollie using plastic bits to pimp his bike. nice view
  12. SEEMS THAT ONLY MR. LOOK read the idea ... "if you choose Other - name and post pic" BIKES AVAILABLE IN SA only please
  13. give me some quick info regarding these.. Obviously one fixed gear ?- so you can peddle forward and backwards ? the brake is under the seat ? how do you get on ? clipped in ? is it just balance ?
  14. Yep - one way radio's to the team car - for wheel changes etc and 2way to other team mates - to join a breakaway - call for help water etc. This might just be the best way to start off - and if they then still feel the need to do a complete ban it would be easier from this step. Not just full radio vs No- radio

    Di2 MTB

    I don't like the idea of Di2 tegn. Don't know why 0 but just seems dumb at this point. Anything with batteries find a way to break and die on you when needed most. Will let "them" develop it more and do some more trail and testing. Meanwhile I'll stick to my cable shifters. The day when Campy change to electronic and and most of the teams in the tour ride these - that day I will say - o well this just might be the future
  16. Funny MTB'ers. I also MTB - just a wintersport for me
  17. I know there is a big list that did not make it onto my choices but feel free to add yours. The ones on my list is just the obvious choices one would see in most shops, the others that did not make it might not be my favorite the list of others go on....Giant, Raleigh,BH,Look,Felt, Storck,Willier,Schwinn,Orbea ...etc Maby this poll might show something or might be totally useless if everyone choose "other"
