I think so. I placed my order around 12:00 yesterday and only got my email at about 11:00.

If you are feeling generous, a little more on this would be nice... in a medium http://www.cwcycles.co.za/bikes/giant-propel-adv-1

Hi guys, If we want to buy a few things throughout the day, can we buy them and group the delivery later? I'm worried about things selling out before my basket is full.

No specials today?

Aston Martin has alwasy been my favorite sports car. One day when I'm big.

I wouldn't recommend an entire change to your setup so close to a race, but if you have no choice then do the smallest changes possible. Perhaps doing the bike setup here might help you a little, and it's a free, do-it-yourself option that I've only heard great reviews from. I find that going to see a chiropractor helps with this sort of problem. I suffer with sciatica and my chiro makes me feel like a new person after seeing him.

I found that doing some core work and leg work at the gym helps. The stronger muscles don't make you go faster, but they help maintain your speeds and strength for longer so you don't get tired as quick. Try a class such as Gravity HIIT at the gym. I did that once a week for gym and found that my running and cycling were vastly improved.

I've read quite a bit on triathlon training and swimming technique and the one article (i'm not sure which one now) indicated that your toes need to point towards the wall and not towards the bottom of the pool. If your feet are pointing down, you need to exercise your ankles, and feet, so that they naturally point backwards. The problem with fins, is that they are forcing your feet back and stretching muscles that aren't used to going in that direction and that is what might be causing your problem. Hope you find some resolve soon. good luck.

I'm more worried about the 22.28 grams of weight that it's going to add to my already reduced aluminium framed bike. I think it could make or break the deal

I see that you have that small mud guard on your front shock - do these work? I was thinking of getting one but hadn't decided on it yet.

House prices seems - maybe only to me - to be going up. I bought the cheapest house in the best neighborhood I could afford and now the prices of homes around me are worth nearly more than R500k from the time when I bought. But back to the kitchen... I think I might have wet dreams about this - High gloss sprayed top cupboards in an off white, with Walnut veneer side panels and bottom cupboards, Zimbabwe black granite, and a Siemens 900mm gas/electric cooker and Siemens double door fridge. For the first time in my life i haven't minded saving money for something so worth while. EDIT: Typo

Sadly mine isn't cycling related. I bought my first house last year and I have just paid for my new kitchen and appliances. I can't wait to have a decent kitchen where I can cook without hating the place.

So I thought that we needed to revive this thread as many of us might need a new kit or two

Is anyone going to be going as a spectator to the Champs? There doesn't seem to be a lot after 17:00. Think i might go past on Saturday or Friday afternoon. Any specific events anyone recommends watching?
