  1. I'm lucky that I'm D/E wide. With racing / narrower shoes I usually have to go half to full size up. But I like my shoes snug (I DON'T tolerate ANY form of internal slippage - especially on the trail). The problem with stretching your shoes is that it may compromise the durability of your shoes, eg. toes breaking out of the toebox.
  2. Zuma and Mbete Discovery and Apple Who cares about the rest?
  3. *sigh* Suunto users: It's good to know that we are being backed by Suunto. Since day 1 I've never been disappointed by their products or customer service. Discovery though...
  4. "joke", "hideous", "WTF", etc.etc. A few months from now all the Jawbreakers on the starting line will be replaced by these things and no one will remember how or why they hated it in the first place. The circle continues!
  5. It's your body warning you against a newfound addiction.
  6. Vario? Good!! The other Speedcross's grip are meant for like 20% of the trails here in WC - over marketed by Cape Union Mart and such. I also find Salomon's to be quite narrow - I have to go up half a size above my usual (compared to most ASICS for example). The bigger chain-shops only stock full sizes which is either too big or too small and I need the fit to be perfect. Anyways, happy trails and have a visit at www.trailhub.co.za ! edit: words

    lego

    Used my Superbalist voucher on this one: http://www.toysrus.com/graphics/product_images/pTRU1-20626821dt.jpg It's a far stretch to be called "Lego", but I'm excited enough to check my order status every 30min!
  8. Riser bars? Don't see many of these on XC races nowadays.
  9. That's on average 15% increase per year. I'm sure the epic is 2.5x better now that it was back then.
  10. I have probably de-linked / re-linked my Movescount account 5 times. The last time I did this was early January. Haven't had any missed sessions since then. Scratch that - I see it's only picking up activities when it feels like. About 50% of my activities are missing. Tapiriik here I come!
  11. Fixed it for ya. I'm no Spez fanboy. I like to associate myself with the brand and people of the other S brand. I don't own a single piece of Specialized equipment....BUT they really do impress me. Their marketing is by far the best in SA (for a cycling brand). I've never really heard of anyone complaining of choosing Spez. This shop just looks effin' awesome. And then there's the SONGO programme.
  12. Watched an episode of HIMYM on (someone else's subscription) Comedy Central the other day. The same 5 ads, every ad break. Some shown TWICE per ad break. I guess that's one of the things that put me off DSTV the most - the ad breaks. Anyone who binged on TDF last year would know the feeling of nausea when they see anything "Cecil Nurse"
  13. 'Been using easy view for years now - basically to get digital quality "free" channels. But the Decoder's were sh**, the customer service worse and the billing problems the worst. Using OpenView now. The same channels as DSTV Easy View. The same dish (no adjustments required). Absolutely zero monthly fees.
  14. 4x Base Training Sessions (100) and 3x Quality (300+) sessions a week should give you at least 1300. It's not a ridiculous amount of points but it's not unrealistic either. With the current system Vitality is basically a charity organisation giving away free smoothies and watches.
  15. My favourite is "Still in Package" meaning took it out of the box, used, didn't like it, and put it back in the box.
  16. #YouBeanJellyOfMySocks * *I tried
  17. From what I could derive: very little. Blue: Stage 1. Red: Stage 2. Purple: Overlap. http://i.imgur.com/q0oi9i1.png But once again, this is based on last year's route.
  18. I'm not saying this will be the route, but a simple Strava search returned Stage 1 and Stage 2 of last year.
  19. That would be awesome, but Apple has some sort of deal with Disco for data mining - hence the iStepcounters.
  20. I'd love to get my hands on a pair of luvhandles (sorry). I do hope they are better than the cheap variant offered by Ryder...
  21. Ja, if it works. But the moment it stops working....
  22. Put the "Race" sticker on it to charge more?
  23. No not a spouse.... I'm the third member... Ai 50% it is.
  24. As a "adult dependant" I can only get a maximum of 50% (base discount) + 25% (booster) = 75% discount on VA, right?
  25. Remember: Amarex pay X amount for the customs - so that they can add that X amount on your invoice - including all the other clearance, shipping, etc. fees. You will still end up paying tax and custom duties.
