  2. Never mind the Ab crunch, where is the rider review on that Pyga 29er?............please
  3. If you loose the knife you could always throw the plant at the problem
  4. Sorry to hear that. Hope they keep trying to get it off the ground.
  5. Looking for an XL road bike/frame, the older the better. Been following this thread and would love to build a bike for myself, any ideas? Please.
  6. Has any research been done to determine if tyre sealant causes delamination? If it did then surely all of the tyres from a manufacturer running a particular sealant would experience the same problem. Alternatively the tyres would delaminate in numerous places. If so then the stockist would be obliged to tell you not to use a specific brand.
  7. A vet. taking dope to race a bicycle...........that's just desperate.
  8. What? Sky were the only team on the juice? Please!
  9. Had mine done at a panel beater I know in Boksburg. Stripped it myself and put some old BB's in the frame to keep the paint off the threads, rest was masked with tape. Paid R 500.00 a few years back. still looks good. http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r156/war63423/Trance.jpg
  10. 1. How did you get to put more grease in the bearing, it should be a sealed unit? Too much grease on the pawls? 2. Bearings need to be pressed into place. Warm the hub up in the sun or use a hair dryer carefully and place the bearing in a plastic bag in the freezer for an hour. Use a correctly sized spacer, sockets work well enough and a G clamp with two blocks of wood and tighten the clamp to seat the bearing. Never take a hammer to a bearing, you will damage the bearing race.
  11. Slime Pro http://www.bikerumor.com/2013/09/19/ib13-slime-pro-sealant-now-better-co2-compatible/
  12. Grip shifter will take care of that problem, one twist at a time.
  13. onehundredpushups.com Ellis Park swimming pool, 27 degrees in the 25 metre pool at the moment. R 220.00 for a season ticket they open very early in the morning if you are a season ticket holder.
  14. Every now and again they run a batch, something to do with retaining the name/recipe rights. I read that somewhere after the last run date, might have been the internet, in which case it's gospel
  15. Perhaps it has been suggested before, but is there any chance that those coming as well as those going could move off the path to their left, leaving the path open, for just in case. That way no one would loose the urinating contest, no one would get punched and both riders would survive the spruit experience to ride another day. This would save the police from having to come out and arrest a cyclist for shooting another cyclist because he refused to move off the path whilst racing world champs in his head. Just a thought. Must be the water in that spruit, I never encounter this where I ride.
  16. Waterpaper and a tin of spray paint. If you scratched them once............
  17. Exactly. If you dropped a match into the urinal in a Super Rugby teams change room you'd get a more spectacular fireworks display than they have at the end of the final game!
  18. I joined them for a year a while back when I almost became a serious MTB'er. Good value for money, nice routes and as long as you are prepared to introduce yourself you will be well received. Good way to get going with longer rides if you are starting out, just get into the right group. On the odd occasion the numbers were thin, MTB group, and the pace became a bit of an ego trip for some of the guys but there is generally a leader for the day who makes sure everyone gets home.
  19. When I bought my bike there was only one wheel size. No one ever asked if there was another size of wheel, everyone rode 26". Some won, more lost. Some blamed the bike, others blamed the legs, no one ever blamed the wheel size. Then someone, somewhere had this great idea, 29". The **** storm started. Some ride 26, some 650B and some 29. The same faces are still on the podium regardless of the wheel size.
  20. I have read through this thread and only one thing comes to mind,Cycle Lab have lost a customer/potential customer. Must be great to have a business that can afford to do that.
  21. Many years ago I used a plastic netting I bought from a nursery to keep birds from my strawberries. Killed a few Bulbuls before I got to watering the plants, do not use netting that could catch birds feet. Best would be firm chicken wire.
  22. Rear travel? I would go for a bike with 120 mm minimum on the front and 5" on the rear.
  23. I just love the GoPro's, 4 of my mates have them and the footage of me is awesome, especially once they have finished editing. Cheap as well since it costs me nothing.
  24. I made a bleed kit for my xt brakes. Bottle of mineral oil, empty bottle with screw on spout from plastic land, like a vinegar dispensing bottle, length of fish tank air hose. Clear plastic pipe to fit over bleed nipple and also fit over pour spout. Pour some oil into bottle and use a small dispensing bottle or syringe to add oil to reservoir. I used a hair colour dispensing bottle the fragrant one had lying about. Worked like a charm and cost about 10 bucks excluding mineral oil which a mate donated.
