NotSpartacus

so how'd the first week go?

Hi, I am interested in this bike but whould like an unbiased, user review not the marketing speak one gets online. Anyone got one that they enjoying/not enjoying. Specifics would be appreciated. thanks

I find that after using the usual branded/ sponsored waterbottles one gets at your LBS, mould develops inside it usually in spots where your bottle brush cant reach. does anybody know where one can buy dishwasher proof water bottles that fit your standard bottle cage? Sies.

I have the QR that came with my Easton EA90s.

I find it incredibly tough to open my QR when needing to remove my wheels. I am paranoid about wheels falling out and hate the rattling noise I get when standing on the predals (hills) or have to put big effort into them. Is there something I can do that'll secure my wheels enough so they are tight enough not to "rattle" but still allow me to open the QR easily with min effort?

Saturday there is a groupride from 10th Avenue Walmer at the BP garage or you could do a clubrace as a visitor (see www.masterspe.co.za). The BP ride isnt very long. There's also a groupride in sunday leaving from Makro at 7h00. The group splits halfway and you could do the longer route which takes you over Maitland (cool scenery).

Does that track extend all the way to Settlers park? are you allowed to ride thru settelers park?

I am looking to try mtb-ing in the PE area. can a savvy hubber give me ideas as to where the good tracks are?

I need to buy a new laptop as thieves seem to like my desktops (2 in 2 months). I understand a Core2 Duo processorr is the way to go. Suggestions as to brand and specs will be appreciated. I can spend about R8k (would rather buy SRAM but need it for work).

Well done for starting this initiative and following it through!!

I've seen post on this topic before so a link to the discussion would be appreciated. I have to pack my bike for travel and my seatpost doesnt want to budge. It makes a horrible squeak when I add force. What is the best way to get it loose form the carbon frame?????

Does anyone know whether Supercycling have got a highlights package of the world champs for tonight's show?

Thanks for the followup Pornstar. Like has been said before- it is rare that suppliers actually take the customers/ potential customers gripes this seriously. When you have your supply chain issues sorted let me know-good luck.

...just a bit of venting.anyway decided to stick with powerbar anyway.hopefuly they get their supply issues sorted.

...I have been to the PE dischem 3 times each time I was told they are waiting for stcok blabla bla....what gives?? I was really keen to try but I had no choice but to stick with Powerbar Whasp... get your s#*t together!!!

have not had surgery. orthopedic quack recons it's not necessary at thisw the point.have a followup visit next week to see how the natural healing process is going.

I've recently done my collarbone (1 week) and the itch to get back on the urge to get back on the bike! the quack has booked me off 4 six weeks which is joke but theres no way I am not riding foe that long.What is a reasonable time to needed to heal well enough to at least get on the indoor trainer?

What works bettr for hubbers whilst racing: bottles of endurance mixtures or gels with water only? Usually the gels state that you should eat them and then flush them with water. Does taking gels with endurance drink reduce their respctive benefits?

I was at Dischem in PE y'day and couldnt find any Whasp products. what's with that??? NotSpartacus2009-07-01 11:32:00

okay so I've given up hope of winning the TdF but now I am stuck with the body of an 11year old despite being almost 3 times that age I want to embark on a gym program that'll give me some upper body muscle but which will not compromise my clubracinng too much. Where's the best place to start?

A good cause if ever there was one! how can I be of assistance?

I am about to start training for the season and thought might be a good time to change my supplements, IF I find nothing better.I was drinking the PowerBar endurance which I was happy with. The price though has short thu the roof so if there is nothing of similar quality at a better price I'll continue with it and get the missus to cut down on makeup or something What energy drinks do the hubbers fancy?

I need a headlight for those early morning rides.What recommendations do hubbers have (prices would be useful too).

Hi, Anybody know what supersport will be offering ito coverage of the tour this year? I need to start filling in my "annual divorce" paperwork but need to know what SS are upto.
