  1. had an issue over the weekend after having my brakes bled by LBS. the front caliper was not properly aligned and when i stood up and pedaled the caliper and disc rubbed as a result of the increase in force i realigned the caliper and the noise/rubbing is gone.
  2. Did THAB last year and I have entered for this year (to try and get a better time). Day one is really Ok(ish) we took it slow and took lots of pics along the way. Water points are great. Heart Break hill WILL BREAK YOU if you try to conquer it during mid day (which we did 'cause of picture taking) Day 2 is absolute torture if its hot (which it will be) you climb for 40km, but coming flying down swartberg pass makes it all worth it. If you planning to go book and pay your accommodation at de hoek now otherwise you'll have to stay at wilgenwandel or cango and it sucks to drive all the way there when you are dead tired. As said it's not very technical as its a district road, some of the corners are however sharp with steep drop-offs.
  3. i won't argue the ec is one big pothole

  7. forgot to add when someone asks if you want a HOT bunny chow, HOT does not mean microwave HOT, it means 2 days later still burning at the other end hot. just saying, use it don't use it
  8. Kalahari KZN Ou not so sure about the cycling, but I know the people in DBN can not drive so get a MTB and stay of the road
  9. i learned the hard way, 45km into a 60km race, and the verdomde stans that was supposed to seal the puncture was all dried up in a nice big rubber ball. took me 15min to get the tyre off and put in a tube

  14. it's not a simple question to answer as there are different views on the matter especially if when it comes to prove the authenticity of the document, e.g. a secured pdf document will be better evidence than a word doc. see this article http://www.saflii.org/za/journals/DEREBUS/2012/69.html
