  1. This thread can now be closed? The ultimate black bike for the ultimate sprinter?
  2. I would like to add a table for geometry to an ad but when I post the table from word all the formatting is lost and it looks like a long list. Any ideas on how this is done? I tried using the icon for post from word.
  3. They are fine and do the job well,
  4. And your opinion on expensive light wheels?
  5. For a hard tail 69.5 degrees is ideal, 70.5 degrees is acceptable. On Dual Sus 71 degrees is it.
  6. R9,750 - see https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/48331-2013-lefty-29er-pbr-110mm-not-yet-released-in-sa/ Best upgrade I've ever done!
  7. Try putting it into the pedal hole, you might need to break the magnet out of the plastic case.
  8. 2013 has finally arrived, twice!
  9. Posted elsewhere but worth watching, looks awesome bit of kit. If you want others to track you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=gyD-em6jp_0
  10. Two interesting articles from the UK: Pass the sick bucket while Lance Armstrong 'confesses' to Oprah Winfrey http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/cycling/lancearmstrong/9791759/Pass-the-sick-bucket-while-Lance-Armstrong-confesses-to-Oprah-Winfrey.html and Lance Armstrong confession will be be soap Oprah http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/cycling/9791770/Lance-Armstrong-confession-will-be-be-soap-Oprah.html
  11. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyD-em6jp_0
  12. 2 million people have watched this. Amazing what people watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPvRVK9YbZM
  13. Maybe these broke your quick link when you forced 2 through at the same time!
  14. As I posted a few pages in this thread, Liggett's man love of LA was dwarfed by Watson's. The man has NO credibility to write about doping and LA.
  15. Too true, the effect is great but the control has no place on any self respecting bike, be it a 29er or, like Rudolph Straeuli, that distant under developed cousin no one talks about. I'm experimenting with a SRAM gripshift system for the rear CTD, will post when I get it working properly.
  16. Our roads are where you go when you want to show someone what anarchy looks like. Unfortunately.
  17. What a beautiful morning in Paradise. Just up Chappies after Southern Cross and the Nek before Blackhill. In Yellow today
  18. You should be ok to use a belt then!
  19. Dangle I see they say you need to go above 270 watts to get a benefit.....
  20. Ever seen a good looking corpse in a body bag at the side of a road? Me neither.
  21. Got from PPA and most bike shops have a pile of them. But that's down here in civilisation. On all our cars and my trailer, every time someone visits I stick one on their car too. PM me your address and I'll mail you a few, goes for anyone struggling to find them.
  22. It is an actual cycling jersey but only 1/4 zip. According to ppa website they are now in stock: http://www.pedalpower.org.za/blog/news/buy-your-safe-cycling-shirt-now/
  23. 1.5m law makes sense everywhere in the world it applies. Because it becomes an offence to pass a cyclist within 1.5m motorists tend to give cyclists a wider berth which is all I really want, not being clipped by a motorist travelling a more than double my speed. Of course that makes sense. It also means you can lay a charge against any driver who endangers you by not respecting this distance and law.
  24. Use the rating system right here on the hub for buyers and sellers, it takes a minute to rate a hubber and leave a factual comment. We all benefit.
  25. It's the reason I wear the Rudy Project bright pink helmet, also in neon green. http://www.rudyproject.com/images/assets/cms/Immagini_schede_prodotti/CASCHI/Sterling/MAKE%20A%20BRIGHT%20CHOICE!.jpg
