  3. Unlike yesterdays incident where a cyclist thought he could out-ride a car to the robot....almost cost him dearly had the motorist not braked in time...this I saw on my way home from our club ride...moron Had he bumped the guy most would have said the motorist was at fault---I was there & I'd give a statement that it's the cyclist who was stupid... When will both parties ever get to share the road without conflict.. "DT"
  4. We did our rehearsal yesterday...the entire route...at race pace. It was hectic so one can appreciate full road closure....it's gonna hurt especially the last climb..... "DT"

  6. OK GUESS I BUY IT NOW....THANKS GUYS I'LL NOT DO IT AGAIN.... "DT"
  7. When riding in the 12/39 I get this annoying chain noise, Ok at first I thought it was the chain rubbing against the front derailler then I often adjusted the derailler...it persisted!! Last nite while on the trainer I had a closer look and found that the chain is actually grating against the big blade only when you in the 12/39 rings...no other ratio's have this effect... Ok so I was told you not meant to ride in 12/39 & it's not what it was made for ???????? I don't buy that honestly !!! Any other ideas as to what I can do or suggestions please ????? I my rings bent or can I out in spacers or what ???? "DT"
  8. Someone said recently on the Hub that the A bunches/Pro's are clean (STRICTLY S/A)......maybe being cynical but I'm not so sure about them being "clean" I have my reservations.... "DT"
  9. "Apparently we are getting less of it as we remove red meat from our diets." & DT is not removing red meat from his diet ............ "DT"

  13. What I do when transporting it in my bakkie is remove the front wheel, place a cloth over the saddle because it touches the canopy & tie the bike down on a matress with stretch cables spanning across the load box....& I don't have to remove the tailgate.....simple "DT"
  14. What a BALLS UP-------Too many chiefs in charge & too clever for their own good...or shall I say the good of the cyclists....NO rather to the detriment of cyclists !!! "DT"

  19. Mmm Scotty I agree once again..guys not checking their equipment the night before delays the ride ... Then on the subject on weekend rides & food: I'll pass on Boerewors rolls (don't want "rolls" on my gut).. No bacon & eggs etc after a long LSD ride either or anything fatty...then again no bacon at all.... Group rides ???-- I only started riding for a club 3 months ago. The other guys I rode with turned every training ride into competition..for heaven's sake give the unfit or not so strong in the bunch time to work infront as well even if they struggle with the pace at times...how else are they gonna get stronger & better ??? so I left them..others are still slaving on... Smoothie----mmmm yes please... "DT"
