Before you make the trip like I did, this event has been cancelled, due to "muddy" trails! Now is that not exactly what a mountain bike is for?

He who is called Julien Absalon can get away with using that, us mere mortals will probably bust a knee-cap, pull an ITB and pop a vein in the forehead.

Or just pee in your pants. Feel like a pro...

I really enjoyed the 50km course, the second half was nice and flowing. Just the last km or 2 rattled my bones a bit. That piece of track was probably cut yesterday.

USN Naartjie flavour is the worst. Never again.

OK, thanks. So the only difference between iMagic and Fortius is the bigger brake motor? All software the same, including Catalyst?

What software does the iMagic ship with? I am under the impression that you need the Fortius software to do the real life video rides, and that is an optional extra not included with the iMagic.

Ek kan nie sien wat die probleem is nie!My rekord vir laasjaar is 11 laps, so die jaar gaan ek mik vir 12!

En...?

The nylon bushing might be unique to Mavic freehubs, but for any freehub to last it needs regular cleaning and lubrication, whether Shimano, Mavic, DT Swiss, or whatever you might have.

Chain wear measuring tool.

My wife will slap me silly if I tell.

Poor Chris..., he is really a nice guy when he is sober. Judge Motata probably too.

Fair call, also hooray for the judgment against Hon Judge Motata. This person has now been sitting at home for more than 2 years pocketing R 57000 per month. If he had the decency to take it on the chin as he should have he could have held his head high, but no... he has to go and blame racism and waste millions of tax payers money.

It's the original Anthem, solid blue metallic colour. I guess the geometry has not really changed over the years, maybe the welds were better then? I did not buy it new, and was also sceptical about the size until I went for a ride with it. Maybe it's the wrong size sticker on the frame, like one of those shirts that you buy that says L but in reality is an XXL! I just know that it feels soooo right when I am riding.

I am 1,98, 105kg (winter!), and find the Anthem Large to be a perfect fit, with a 110 stem en 400 seatpost.

I did the Nissan Down & Dirty with a SRAM 970 12-26, and did not miss the 32 at all. Think I was once or twice in the 26 on the steeper sections (7-8% gradient), but I never felt that I needed more. It was the first time that I used the cassette, and felt that the ratios were too closely spaced together (to what I am used to); you shift and it feels almost the same, so you have to shift again. I will continue to use it for fairly flat races with shortish climbs. Not sure that a 11/2-23 would work though, maybe 12-25 or ideally 11-28.

Don't TUKS have something like this?

aaahhh... you want I should flirt with you' date=' and not just the silly girl and the holy rolling one? [/quote'] I am not listening, la la la la la la la la, I am on the Ladies & Bicycles thread, la la la la la la la la. Why don't you come over here too? Conti has made some strong statements.

I sense I am not needed on this thread anymore. I will thus move on over to the Ladies & Bicycles thread.

Oops, my bad, make that 12.

Good afternoon, HR. Master, we managed to fill almost 11 pages before you came on board.

well... there's that, and also, I'm not gay... Why are you sad then?
