now thats wot i wanted to hear but seriously, when i look at my training log i see an alomst constant avg...which makes me wonder if i have hit a 'plateau'

Just wanted to know...how much does your avg speed from training rides differ from racing? i do most of my training with my brother (60 - 85km) where i do 90% of the work. i'm trying to gauge where i am fitness wise now we consistently avg around 29km/h and we do the southern suburb routes i.e. constantia nek, main road, redhill, ou kaapse weg

wot a shame! glad the guys are alright at least good luck finding the bikes

i like wot size is it?

yuk!

Outriders riding tomorrow morning? details pls...

hello o'wiseones i'm looking to buy/build up a new bike in the near future, so i need some advice (or point me where i can read up) Frame I obviously want to get a frame which fits me properly cause i've got a Trek 2300 on loan (58cm) which fits me much better than my current Scott (56cm). But with all the geometry differences, how can i make sure that i get the same fit? Is it top tube length only? How do i measure the top tube of a compact and a non-compact frame? yes i'd like carbon, but would a alu frame with carbon fork and rear provide enuff comfort? Groupset I'm using Sora at the mo, should I be looking for 105 or Ultegra or a Campy equivalent even? PLEASE dont turn this into a Shimano vs Campy thread! Wheels Not TOO worried about this, but from what i've read here, mavic and shimano seem to be problematic when it comes to cracking??? any advice/opinions welcomed! thx

i do prefer to ride earlier than 7am esp if it's a 3-4hr ride i.e. 5.45 hmmm....i must discuss with my brother which climbs do these routes have?

saturday morning coming back from a quick 1hr 'easy' ride i saw a group meeting outside planet fitness in parklands... looked like they were leaving at 7am can anyone tell me about this group's rides? who organises, distance, etc.

i'll be surprised if i didnt have to dodge broken bottles on a sunday morning! i think there was about 4 or 5 going up blackhill towards sunvalley yesterday

@ Reg Lizard .... one word .... Gatorskins the crappy part about the limited argus seeding events here in the cape, is that they gotta go smooth else your seeding suffers lost 15mins myself...so thats the way it goes

ONE!!!! .... with borrowed wheels

just today Pedal Talk said that MTB'ing is the fastest growing sport....so go figure ????

i might be wrong, but i didnt see any whasp sachets thrown in the streets at die burger today...saw my GU...so maybe your campaign is working

does an erratic speed mean the battery is going? speed drops to about half at times, and then sometimes no reading not sure cause i got a different wheelset on now, and the bike was in a knock

told it is a 58cm. it's a Trek 2300 frame

cool...i'm gonna need this SOON i'm about 1.9m, and just this morning i realised how much my Scott L 56cm dont fit me coz i used a borrowed bike in the week which felt better i suspected it, but had nothing to compare it to

excellent stuff

i have a dumb question...having never used gels before... i read the packaging and it said to take with sufficient water...how much is sufficient? and does this mean i can only carry 1 bottle of carb and 1 bottle water? or can u wash it down with your carb drink?

Nice ideas... i will be trying these gels out for die burger... i must just remember to buy tonight so i can test them beforehand

great pics...keep em coming any of the metropolitan boys???

they didnt have any...and i was by two here i'll just make my own one....

can we double that order pls....hehe
