You receive ur goodie bag after the race along with your race medal.

I'll buy the top one any day! that's if the price is reasonable!

I know which lenses wont scratch or break on you...tested the Rudy's.....2k a pop but much better than the Oakleys I had

Best is to only ride off road, then your fate is not in the hands of some drunk guy or crazy taxi driver. Phew I need to ride more off road!....after all, those yellow stickers should add a few words... Think bike- think: wheelchair or coffin )

nope..... its all fun and games until the taxi hits you! Think bike: think wheelchair or coffin.

Longer = faster , shorter = slower Shorter = more comfort , longer = less comfort Stem longer than 12cm frame is too small, stem shorter than 10cm frame is too big, That's the rule of thumb for road bikes.Google has the more technical info.

The guy on the left on the first pic looks like Willie

Bad places to cycle in the cape.... anywhere after dark, and anywhere near a township/ gang area (cape flats)

Yip, I'm one of the dangerous Slaapstad hubbers who cycles at times with a small firearm, then again I've never been mugged, go figures hehe

Felt = Porsche, Raleigh = VW

The top guys will be using different tire combo's for different stages, luckily i'm not riding this year, decisions decisions decisions

Fox just costs more , when you buy it and when you fix it, that's the vibe out there.

Just cycle with a small peace, the news will spread after the first 1 dies.

The people who are money wise always ask for a discount, I don't care if I don't get discount its just the way they say no that counts.

I only cycle with Trek helmets, they just seem to fit better than the rest and cost half the price.

According to all carbon fork manufacturers you have to have at least 10mm of spacers on top of your stem and that fork had none I could see in the picture, I wonder if that had anything to do with the incident.....just thinking out loud.

Phew, I have one of those stem's on my bike, they seem solid, guess I have to sell the stem now, any willing buyers? I'm going back to the heavy Ritchey stems!(only heavy in price tho!) a titanium stem or a steel stem should be the strongest, I haven't seen any Ti stems on the market lately tho.

It's the double ZZ's any guesses? JPW#2009-02-03 10:39:27

Wow , only 250 grams heavier than Lances bike, not bad! My bike is only 4kg's heavier ))

Once you've tried Ti ..u never want to ride a carbon frame again! JPW#2009-02-03 06:34:26

If you crash at 50km/h.....it should break!

If I were you I would take the wheel back to the wheel builder to "true" or to rebuild the wheel.

Yip,still an infant in Holy's eyes ')

I've cycled in hail before....the size of small marbles....ouch.....but THOSE will surely kill you !
