  1. Schumacher's looks weird with his TT helmet.... some strange dude. He came from nowhere and now he is a contender for a Olympic TT gold. Its a bird its a ferrari, no its schumacher one a bike!!!
  2. Hard Tails = lighter + Cheaper and you climb easier with them I'd rater ride hard tail - don't like the flex of a dual susp.
  3. First Accent - great shorts!!!
  4. Hey - I may be keen on the night ride. Only got a headlight though. let me know where and at what time.
  5. Drugs is overrated - tired of everyone connecting great riders with drugs - yes some of them do use drugs and do stupid sh*t to get busted. We should enjoy the RACE and let the organisers keep on doing what they are doing to stop the cheating!! Other sports should start and test their players like Rugby - its amazing how big these guys get in a small amount of time!!
  6. Boonen is a great guy. Just sad that this had to happen before le tour... damm.
  7. Hey thanx for all the replies, but non of u guys aggree on any tire?? There must be something out there that is more common. Continental Moutain King looks great - it has done the Epic. Like Kenda Karma but think its more for the mud. The kind of terrain I ride is different - Normal Karroo style bos and some mud and slippery terrain in and arround Cape Town/Stellenbosch. Planning to do the Transbaviaans with friends... Any thoughts... tire wise
  8. Hey I want to buy new tubeless tires for my MTB? Any recomendations?? Larson TT's of Kenda KARMA ... give some advice one that please. Something for all types of terrain, mud, rocks and thorns. Thanx
  9. WHATS up with all the NEGATIVITY guys??????????? Kind of sad that someone will always say something about doping and riders not being clean.. Come one stop the fuss and let them have a fair chance.. They have not been tested positive so far. Give the riders a chance.
  10. Hey thanx for the help u guys. Will still find out what the guys name is and post it here so u all can know. Cheers Enjoy the last bit of the weekend.
  11. Hey, I know of a lot of cycle shops one can get your bike set-up, but I have heard of this guy that only does bike setups and by the sound of it he is really good. Somewhere in CT. Will try and find out what the guys name is, but if anyone may know who I am talking about plz let me know. I think he does the setup of some of the teams at the Giro de Capo as well. Heard that he sets up everything to tiny detail and then afterwards hand you a self setup guide for home use if you need to adjust something on a new component of your bike. Thanx
  12. Look on the side of the tire - should be a recommended min and max. Play arround until you find the right one. Start in the middle let say 4.5 bar.
  13. Why didn't the race car or what looks like the cop/race car not try and hit the car instead??? This is scary stuff
  14. So some of you like it and some don't..... ok. Think it just needs commitment like Andrewbell said. Not the most fun you can have, but hey rain in the cape is cold in winter and the damm taxis and cars.. A go for a run once in a while but that is hard work, gets better though. Thanx for the help this far. Rollers is about R1800 !! and you don't really train on them - was made for warmup before races or track cycling. Trainer VS Roller ???? Rollers may be more fun but they don't add resistance.
  15. Hello, I want to buy myself a new indoor trainer for the winter that has already begun here in Stellenbosch. Any spesifics a need to look at and what about this Rav X tx 4???? Im keen on spending a bit so it will last longer than 1 winter Think this one goes for arround R1600. Enjoy cycling
  16. I hate the bulls - can't take their supporters (vet oomies met horings op hulle koppe!!) what the f... You don't have 2 choose between the teams, if you don't support one of them, just watch the game. The Crusaders will probably take this one again... its only in the super 14 that the NZ team can prove something, cuz they never peak when it really matters - like the RWC. Rather go for a cycle or watch the GIRO. Cheers - "hope [your] team wins"
  17. F$uCK dude - Its something you can or should be able 2 relate to - CYCLIST DOWN remember - could have been you if you actually out there cycling People die all the time in storms ec. , you can't reltate to that so just show some sympathy 4 ........ sake
  18. Lots of people combine a lot of the above mentioned training methods. Just want to see what everybody thinks... add extra comments and what tipe of trainers u use... Happy Cycling
  19. Which one are you most keen on buying when your in the shop for example? Add comments on what you like about your choice, and no dubble bookings - this is between the two. Lets see what SA choose.
