It does not concern me. Other people can do what they feel like. I don't do strava.

"A friend to all is a friend to none" - Aristotle Do not misinterpret this. It does not mean: You should alienate everybody.

I just wonder how ACE will handle this if one of the ex dopers are caught doping AGAIN on the Epic. (common things occurring commonly?) Or are the doping officials kind of advised not to test some of the riders?

I did not read through the whole tread. My opinion My most recent definition of ethics: Ethics is the way party A would like other party B to behave. Unfortunately party B sometimes sees himself as a special exception so it does not apply to him that much. In the first few posts I read that a bike was sold before party B sold a bike before party A could get to him. In the new world we live in, things have changed. When I was young, we went to the bank and asked how much die oom at Volkskas was prepared to lend me for my first house. I then went into the market and looked for a house in that price range. Times have changed. People now shop for a house, sign a contract and THEN go to the bank for financing. With the effect that many of the contracts becomes null and void. Unfortunately we live in a world of hypocrites. And sometimes I catch myself outdoing other hypocrites . The 3 biggest lies being: The payment is made/ cheque is in the mail I will call you back Of course I love you/will withdraw before I c...I don't like the 'new way' of doing things, but that is the way it is. I prefer this:

On the original question: I am sorry but I am not going to loose sleep over other peoples daftness.

Why would you like to fiddle with those little balls? I grease and adjust my M970's every year or so. And I don't see that I would need to replace them any time soon.

Back to bar ends, 2x set up and alloy rims? The more things change, the more they stay the same. I'll like it. And good old Shimano pedals...

All the troubles caused by women. Miss Communication Miss Diagnosis Miss Interpretation Miss Stake

Seeing is believing.

A very similar story in my family (in laws). The oke is sitting in jail for a second time for stealing/robbery. That is AFTER rehab

Ok. If you say so

And then do we all sing kumbaya?

Makes me think of this story: A scorpion asks a frog to carry it across a river. The frog hesitates, afraid of being stung, but the scorpion argues that if it did so, they would both drown. Considering this, the frog agrees, but midway across the river the scorpion does indeed sting the frog, dooming them both. When the frog asks the scorpion why, the scorpion replies that it was in its nature to do so. The fable is used to illustrate that fundamentally vicious natures cannot change.

And suddenly all is forgiven. Ja sure.

I did not say 'call it small' I said WITH

Call it sour grapes, but this R200k bike just shouts "middle aged guy with small penis" Only 2 groups of people will ride this: Sponsored rides. Or a magwsp Or the oke who stole it from a magwsp's

My thoughts exactly.

I have also been wondering about "sidewall protection" lately. In the last 10 years or so, the only sidewall damage I had was on a Maxxis UST tire, a Conti race king protection and a Maxxis icon EXO. Most punctures was on TAR ROADS. And that was on the tread area. Watch out for green glass.

But slumping again today after the bullish run from Monday. Market correction.

The retro spectroscope always the clever one. Anglo American (AGL) went up from R63/share to R151 today Same kinda story for Kumba (KIO) Lonmin (LON) could be had for R10/share in Feb. Now R38/share. Lots of volatility. Like Angelina Jolie The above type of shares for aggressive type investing. Win big loose big. Then there are the more stable shares. Defensive. Stuff like Reinet (REI), SAB Miller (SAB), Mediclinic (MEI). And of course British American Tobacco. Stuff people use every day. Shoprite, Woolies. Now sudden growth spurts. More gradual. Like your mother (well, kind of) But even they can fall. One of the shares I have been watching for a while now is Sasol. This one is supposed to be one of those long term buys. Kind of defensive. That is until the Brent oil price starts to rise. And that it is at the moment. $45/ barrel. The Middle east countries can only keep up overproduction for so long... When will it turn upside down? Who knows. Everybody knows America is selling shale gas at the moment. But it is not as profitable as 'good' old crude. Crude oil products are used on a daily base. Everywhere and for everything. What a disaster for South African motorists if the crude oil price hits $120/barrel! Unless you have Sasol shares of course...
