  1. Hollow apology. They cut to the same MTN and Liberty ads and an internal ad for that brain dead F1 rubbish on a summit during the Liege Bastion Liege....
  2. Pity you are in Jozi, it's just a matter of time to set up properly. Haven't been beaten yet on getting it all to work properly, across a number of machines...
  3. SRAM make the part, inserts into the BB30 shell to convert it into a BSA threaded BB.
  4. So finally we see a dual prong emulating the single inverted stanchion of the Lefty.
  5. I've just bought a batch and I am selling them for R549
  6. Cut out ‘n’ keep guide to cycling and Twitter QUICK CLINIC GUIDE TO DOPING Scenario -> Outcome Rider holds form all season. ->Doping Rider loses form. -> Was doping Strong team performance. -> All doping Great solo performance. -> Doping Team declare zero tolerance. -> Doping Team hire ex-dopers. -> Doping Rider has a doctor. -> Doping Rider has a trainer. -> Doping Rider gets ill. -> Doping Rider stays healthy. -> Doping Rider admits to past doping, says he’s now clean. -> Liar, doping Rider doesn’t admit to doping. -> Doping Rider fails no tests. -> Bio passport doesn’t work Conti rider goes well. -> Ah but he’s not on the bio passport Rider wins MTF with solid team tactics. -> Doping, just like Armstrong Rider wins MTF with solo breakaway. -> Doping just like Pantani Rider wins, goes to doping control. -> Tests don’t work Rider finishes outside top places, doesn’t have to go to doping control. -> Convenient Rider refuses to release data. -> Doping Rider releases data. -> Doping Rider won’t speak to press. -> Doping Rider does speak to press. -> Fans with typewriters Journalist covers stage race by reporting on what happened on the road not in the hotels. -> Accessory to doping Source: http://journalvelo.com/opinion/cut-out-n-keep-guide-to-cycling-and-twitter/
  7. Check out darkhorse wheels, speak to Tony. A set of aero 50mm wheels from him is great value.
  8. Still 2 spots available for our all inclusive service at the Epic: https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/76755-cape-epic-service-plan/. Don't worry about getting your bike ready for the next stage, rather just focus on your own recovery and save your energy for the trails, not the schlep of getting your bike ready... Includes your extra bag being transported from race village to race village!
  9. Day 1 in both 2005 and 2006, although 2005 was dryish the forest was a mud bath. The service guys ran out of brakepads both days, that's when I learned to start a race on new pads and carry 2 sets in my bag.
  10. A great pump, hi volume on each stroke, the gauge is easy to read and the twinhead means the wheelbarrow is easy to inflate.
  11. A beanie is an absolute must for the evenings and nights, particularly as the tents have no insulation.
  12. Take it all! Rather too much than too little....but go here first: Take all your stuff with you on Epic advert
  13. New bike safety campaign in UK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlGmiHKCDI4 Please share the link with your mates.
  14. That's the darndest thing about the bad guys. They almost always have a face, 2 eyes, 2 ears, a nose, both arms and legs, usually most of their fingers and toes and even sometimes all their teeth. Makes them very hard to spot. Selfish *******.
  15. That's why the smart money chats to guys like me who travel with a truck and trailer, the 65l bag becomes an overnight bag for your cosmetics. The stuff you may or may not need but don't want to risk not having travels with me and is stored for when you want it.
  16. So the organisers get the blame because we go downhill too quickly? What next, they left some bumps in the road? A catseye didn't have a cover over it? A manhole cover was left exposed?
  17. Were their dancing girls along the course? I must pay more attention next year.
  18. Possibly jumped up into the wrong start group on the day? Only 241 official C starters and 4 guys who jumped ahead? Is it really worth the hassle?
  19. On a 109km road race with 48 water points?
  20. Stunning race, what a well timed final attack.

    Argus 2014

    Apart from one section of New York Barriers on the lower Hout Bay side against the mountain Chappies is 2 lanes and clear of obstacles.
  22. Why walk all the way when you can walk to grand parade and take the free shuttle?
  23. I'd like to know how you can base an aspersion on my character based on the fact that you are probably too stupid to understand why psi is used in this calculation.
  24. First proper use of the new uncapped10mbps ADSL feed from axxess coming up... I like how they have just added a z to their banned site. Fooled me for months.
  25. Ironically since David Duffield retired the pictures seem to suffice, although Sean Kelly does add valuable insights. I'm riding with half of the PnP team today, it's a pity they fell in man love with Big Tex, about 20 years ago they did add insights into racing, now it's just the same script year after year. But I won't be telling him that today!
