Am happy with mine, it did lose air once and need to be sent in for work, but I'm sure all forks give trouble from time to time. Other that that it's been reliable.

Groupset looks like '05 Ultegra (9-speed), nothing wrong with it at all. Looks to be a good bike, get it checked out by a bike shop first, and make sure it's the right size for you. Price may be a tad high?

Whatever happens, it will keep things interesting. Who will Contador sign up with is the question I ask.

Looking at riding somewhere new and thought about Majik Forest this thursday after work. A friend and I are keen but don't know the trails (or even where to park our cars for that matter). Any local riders able to join us and show us around? I am in Somerset West, and will gladly return the favour in my backyard anytime.

Good event, can't decide which route I prefer. Would do either of them again. Pity about all the littering by riders as usual. On that note: VA 400 please bring your mother along next year to pick up your rubbish.

I agree, it will be a great way to learn about technical stuff right from the start. The experience will help you with maintenance and repairs in the future.

Ah, the first Argus 2010 thread. Boyes Drive is fine in my opinion.

When I read that thread I just wondered what's a "moran". Is that how a moron spells "moron"?

I agree. Also did hassle-free business with the man.

Gaffer tape. Works like duct tape but doesn't leave residue. Can buy it at CD Fox in Cape Town, I think they are in Hout St. It's fairly expensive, but works well (probably about R80-100/roll by now).

Yes' date=' the hot stove... I'm not sure if that has ever worked for anyone. But I sheepishly admit I have tried this. Should have know better, metal heated will deform/discolour badly. But the rotor was stuffed, so it was worth the laughter and ridicule from my wife. Check the pic, all that weight and the rotor still warped up, even after letting it cool under this pressure. So in short I won't recommend wasting time on this, plus it discolours the stove top. http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii273/daxiet/potandrotor.jpg[/quote'] Daxiet, thanks for being the "mythbuster" on this one!

Staying in Hermanus after Wines2Whales, so will miss this one. Wednesday 5pm: anybody keen?

Right people, time to stop worrying about how far and who is too slow! The idea is to have an enjoyable ride, so let's just go ride. The faster people will wait for the slower riders for sure so don't worry about that. I reckon the ride will only be about 20km, give or take a few km. If I ride from home in Heldervue down to waterstone, then back up to the top of the Helderberg tracks and home from there it's 21km, one and a half hours. I can only ride for about 2 hours max on sunday, so if anybody wants to bail early they can ride down with me (if the rest are playing for longer). With regard to rain, my vote is that unless it's p1ssing down we still go.
