The Crazy German

What's this ? racism? no foreigner nominated? Why can't you pick me or the legend? This is so unfair you actually have a shot and then they exclude you

Really - perhaps you could point out just one. Coming second in a vuelta d'espagna time trial leaving from Granada. A bit more hig level race even then this one

Look at the route it was not a flat leipie stretch but nice hard favoring valverde he had some impressive rides on hard TT courses before

dude basic bush mechanics put banknotes next to the cut in tire. Banknotes are thin flexible and have a very stron structure. Fold em a couple of times and they do magic, and you can still buy beer with em afterwards. For the tube make a knot. You make a not where a small loop sticks ou(ofcours containing your hole) tires stretch so you can still fit em on the weel and if you pump it it rides quite weel actually. Al tested multiple times

David Garret/chris botha i think. They came 3rd on day 2. Not sure of their placing today. don't think its one of those two or they must have changed a lot

I'll rent you one of my size 58 or so bikes for about 2000 rand for those 20 days. Alternatives fly BA ticket prices comparable to other but you are allowed one bike+ 23 kg bag and handluggage(only size no weight limit) I flew to SA in sept with my road bike my full suspension MTB and quite some clothes cost he like eur 850 two ways that is. Thats odd' date=' I flew BA in Feb to New York (30kgs allowable weight) and return I was fOUR days in London on business, on departure BA charged me 140 pounds overweight 7 kgs (20 pounds per kilo) they stressed allowable weight was 20 kgs not 23!! - I tried to explain that I was enroute from USA where the weight allowed was 30 kgs etc - not interested - they maintained I broke the journey so was liable for the baggage excess, 140 pounds (approx R2300.00) PLEASE SIR.! Be carefull with overweights, or be prepared to pay. [/quote'] If you book your journey as two seperate tickets or stay a couple of days in UK they can indeed do that its 23 europe to africa http://www.britishairways.com/travel/bagchk/public/en_be

Some airlines negotiate flat rates SAA used to be EUR 50 oner gamble way per bike. Or gamble SAA once let me my 25 kg bag overweight(seriously) hand luggage road bike track bike and spare wheelset on for the normal ticket fare. Though for that luck at check in and a good story.

Other why use those heavy boxkes?? use the cardboard ones in which they deliver bikes. Put old hubs in to protect stays and forks and wrap your frame with insulation tubes fro scratches. Will make it 14 kg for bike box and wrapping or so so you have 6 or 9 kg for clothes + your handluggage. If flewn like that tol lots off places. Sent your bike a while in advance through mail/courier. Through mail you can sent it poste restante and pick it up at the post office you selected. I got a quote to sent my MTB and spare wheelset to New Zealand for 1300 rand All the way from northern europe that is. Downside they are in transfer like 6 weeks so you need to part with your bike or your spare bike like 6 weeks before you leave yourself. Bottom point there is plenty of options

dude you get those new for just over half of that amount

That's a forum member better known as harde *** by the insiders. The mongoose outfit is a once of his regular team rides GT and he also works or at least used to work for GT's importers(not sure on current status as he ain'.t my house mate anymore)

Narrow ire say 1.70 or so. Knobly nick from scwalbe is quite good as long as you stay in the wet. On the road lifetime of the softer rubber is rather limited.

you've always been in making up excuses Consider yourself BUSTED

My afvorite one Keirin world Champs in Antwerp Believe it was 2002. Jobie dajka and and Ryan bayley still quite young making a mess of it. the third rider did several minutes over the last 200meters. 2 riders did'nt make it to the line. the fight for bronze was heroic a german dragging his bike along with the same arm he broke his colarbone in that crash. Chased by Buran with a messed up bike. 2mindown on secend and these guys where just a second or so apart. Herroic moment and I sat on the front Row

topright is fine but that sune needs to be replaced by the sun from mud Dee's design that would rock

More often in africa. Though seen the bunch with GC leader in Tirreno Adriatico end up in a field. Belgian junior cup Peleton passing the finish the first time 50 minutes before time schedual as commissaire forgot there weher 2 big loops before the local circuit. Recently in either tour of belgium or the netherlands same sh*t happened. I once ended up on a higway in another belgian cup race with the chase group. Every where peole ****up from time to time

You obviously still got a lot too learn if you really believe this

the exact reason why in the SA that exists now the project won't work. You can't ensure safety on the tracks from crooks

I was around when they introduced those wheels lon long ago. The reason they where banned are that those bladed carbon spokes are very sharp when crashing, some people lost fingers and so. On the other hands those wheels where fast and definitely look cool and are reasonably strong(where used for cyclocross in the days). Drawback they are from long ago so do you know the history of your set?? Several sets seem to crack at age and then desintegrated resulting in bad crashes(search the net for spinergy failure and see/read(thats why you often only find the front wheel offered)). So my five cents. If you are both 60 to 65kg rider riding Argus in 4 hours and don't do scary stuff with dose wheels and have a low milage set go for it. Is your set high mileage? only good for strolls around the neighbourhood and not on a tandem. If you look like me 85kg's easily 1500+ watts peak power output don not put them on your tandem even when your stoker is only 40 kg as they will break and you will crash. Cheers crazy(someone from the old days when spinergy's, spinacci bars where still around and Carbon was rare in frame's) If

In contrary too what some might belief It wasn't me this time

No man ride it, Do something to overpopulation, save the planet start with yourself : )

Swiss van pics look bad but if you see video its a gradual move across and then an atempt to keep balance when he senses another rider. No intend just stupid not to watch where he was going. my 5cts
