The Ghost

Thanks, but that has been discussed at length on other threads. It's not so much the complexity of the work as it is the complexity of my life - something you know nothing about.

Clint, this website has everything you need. It does have a category for bags, I looked a little while back. http://www.dutycalculator.com/new-import-duty-and-tax-calculation/

I would like to have my bike serviced tomorrow; I know it's late notice, and I'm looking for somebody reputable. I dropped Dangle a PM, but he doesn't normally check them in the evening and I don't know if he can squeeze my bike in tomorrow. Do you have any help to offer?

No, its the thing I cut into strips and make a whip out of to.... Oh wait, wrong forum

Can you put stans sealant into a tube?

Im doing it in an enclosed suburb in fourways, its also all tar but as you say it keeps the legs turning.

Of course Im referring to the 55km MTB ride. Is there also a 55km road ride?

Last weekend I got my first 35km ride (fairly easy terrain) in, it was a struggle but I got there in 2h38. Doing that route again on Sat. Will do 35km another 2 or 3 rides and then move to 40 or 45km after that; depending on how the body feels. Will throw in 16km rides on Wednesday evenings and a 10km speed ride once a month.

Im dead serious, the Spez stockists and fitters normally have them.

Do yourself a big favor and go and get measured on an ass-o-meter, it is essential to get the right size saddle.

Keep an eye on the slow and unfit - JHB thread

Thanks. Now to get another bomb valve attachment thingie; mine ain't working *doh*

Is it just because I need to bomb it to get it to sit on the bead?

I have managed to get my tyres onto my new rims, with a tube inside; the problem is that the tyre is sitting nicely in the bead groove on one side, it is sitting deeper in the rim on the other side. I tried to lower the pressure and manipulate it with my hands, but I cant get it to be even. Please help.

He's doping

With a rubber pipe connecting it to a bite valve attached to your shirt with a dummy clip.

Stir it up much? I dropped you a message last night, can you perhaps help me?

I had a look at the times of the finishers in the first events... I would still be riding 20+ mins after they finished.

I need to see the fitter again to check it out, but finding time is tricky. Thanks, I will keep your offer in mind.

exaccary! I will report on that, but the process is not complete yet.

I too know this scenario, and unfortunately there are no words I can offer that will help. I wish him and his family a speedy recovery and strength to get through the days ahead.

Many of our rivers and streams are also used as bathrooms by some.

F@3k all here is important except: 1) Camelbak = more storage + hydration. Hotter on the back, but not unbearable, more costly. 2) Saddlebag = smaller storage, carried on bike, cheaper. Now decide which fits you and run along and purchase it.
