At some stage all riders will be faced with the choice of changing BB's, Blades,Cranks, cassets etc. Wouldnt it be nice if Bike shops had "demo" components we could try out - That way we could experience all the different gearing options and have a much better understanding.

Check out this cool Gear Calculator http://sheldonbrown.com/gears/ It will give you speed vs Gear ratios vs Cadence.

It looks like a bike from the 70's or 80's, what is with the down tube shifters?? Am I missing something??

HEY!! Ive been out of town and off line since Thursday. Awsome news regarding the Marshals and the Metro Escort. Well done guys!!

Hog - you doing the HUB RIDE on the 6th September? Midrand Pretoria Midrand.

Slow poke basically the same route as the first hub ride if you can remember PM Wolverine' date=' he will give you the exact route [/quote'] Have we decided on the final route yet? I am eager to check it out.

I would have loved to but unfortunately I will be away in cape Town this weekend. Next time- deffinately!

Marshals are a Great Idea. We could take the contribution from the monies we collect? or get a sponsor??

Lets get some more idea's and then I will set up a poll to see what the majority feel and we go with that.

OK, So most are keen on the Merc - What sort of competition should we stage? Or should we raffle it for a good cause?

After all the good you have done for Cycling and cyclists in general - OF COURSE!! as long as you dont mind giving it back after the ride?? People have suffered from withdrawell symptoms after taking test drives.
