Garmin don't give you Vitality points for training... Just saying.

:clap:

I'm not in favour of drivers or cyclists getting aggressive. At all. And I agree about riding safely and obeying the road rules. The problem is that a lot of the time big bunches form when there are a lot of cyclists out on the road and these bunches take up too much space unfortuantely. I ride with CycleLab atll the time and I've noticed this. Nobody is intentionally trying to take up too much space, and if they are then they are definitely in the wrong. Make no mistake. Someone mentioned tolerance earlier and thats ll that it comes down to.

In the big picture though, are cyclists really the biggest problem on our roads? Worse tha taxis and the conditions of our roads? Worse than drunk drivers and unlicenced cars? No. We're easy targets for people to moan and point fingers at. Its about priorities. FIrst fix the more important issues at hand and then people can come and complain endlessly.

As much as I understand the fact that too many cyclists riding abreast is not the way to go, I still need to ask myself what the massive deal is that a car actually has to slow down before they can go past? What is the big hurry on a saturday or sunday morning between 6 and 9? Seriously? People need to just learn a little bit of patience actually. I'm so sorry if you're going to be 23 seconds late for breakfast at Mugg and Bean. Like I said, I'm not condoning it at all but if its not putting your life in danger then just grow up, we have much bigger things to worry about.

Massive bunch of cyclists on William Nicol so it must be CycleLab? Come on guys, maybe it was, maybe it wasn't so lets just stop pointing fingers. Some cyclists are prats regardless of which club they ride with. Please.

If they're willing to go the instance thm so am I.

I hear what you guys are saying about cross- chaining but the fact that I shouldn't be using these gears doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to select them. No? That's all that I want, for all the gears to be accessible, whether or not I use them. Chorus is hardly Shimano Sora at the end of the day.

Ha ha! No, it was perfect and basically after it was serviced the gears weren't as smooth and it throws the chain right over the big chainring sometimes and they just not getting it right. And I can't access my biggest sprocket when I'm in big blade and overall its just noisy, especially in big blade. Have decided to take it to Yellow Saddle tomorrow to see what they can do.Thanks Rcky Bobby.

I'm starting to think this is unofrtunately the only way.

You'll probably notice the difference but its far from drastic, whether it justifies the price though? That's up to you, it's all relative I guess. Personally, I don't think so.

The guys I normally go to don't seem to be able to get my gears right, which shops can you guys recommend? Don't want to mention names as they are a good shop and a decent bunch of guys, they just don't seem to be able o get it right after the third time and I'd rather just take it elsewhere. Thanks

Thanks Clinton, the brand seems well known overseas. Looking at the pricing now actually but still need to work out exactly with landed cost. My knowledge is more with road than MTB, what would you say is the right price range for a high end crankset for MTB?

OK well thats good to hear, can I ask where you got them from?

I am about to bring in a new range from Italy from a company that specialises in manufacturing lightweight bike accessories expecially for MTB and including things like fixed gear hub kits, titanium seatposts, titanium quick releases, even carbon wheels too obviously. What are your guys opinions especially with regard to titanium accessories and parts? The range is of a very high quality and precision. I will be bringing in some samples shortly. What new parts would you like to see on the market here?

He looks like a **** and I hope he gets jumped by a bunch of fat people. Why does he even bring up their weight anyway? What does that have to do with anything?

Total crap. I'm embarrassed for them.

Price is R12 500 for frame kit which includes FSA Team Issue seatpost and FSA 1-1/8 1-1/4 headset.

Thats frame only, fork is 400g painted.

Its 1120 grams in size 53. (Painted). I will have pricing by the end of the day.

Waiting on this but will keep you posted as soon as I know...

Your opinion on this 333 frame model which they're about to release in Italy? Monocoque frame with 3K finishing, T700 Toray carbon. BB30. More info on request.

Just over 3 months for me, did the Allen Carr seminar which I thought would be a gimmick but it actually makes sense becaus its about the psychology of stopping. Forget patches and drugs and hypnosis or even cutting down, set a goal date and stop from then. A few days of hell and you'll be on your way. I'm the same age as you nearly and also smoked half my life away, glad to be rid of it and putting away the money I was spending on cigarettes away and taking a holiday at the end of the year. Nothing wrong with a bit of incentive too. Good luck

Feedback? Opinions?

A snotklap deserves a ****klap.
