  1. I suspect some of these Lurkers pay many of the super hubbers salaries
  2. The whole concept of linking the number of posts and contributions to the community to who is a honest, ethical or a trustworthy buyer or seller is absurd in my view.it is obviously ones own choice as to who you deal with though. I am new to the Hub and I must say it is actually quite intimidating to contribute because you face the possibility of enduring the written wrath of the what would appear super human hubbers with often over 10 000 posts, who position the number of posts as relevant to the credibility of a person and use it as an indicator of how important they are. I know of people with less than 10 posts on the Hub that own and run very large organizations and manage in excess of 1000 people that I would suspect have generally more credibility and understanding of all forms of cycling and busing and selling and general economics than some many thousand post hubbers here. My intention is not piss anyone off. I may have missed the point and my only real objective is to let the super hubbers know that there are many perfectly competent honest folk out there that shouldn't need thousands of posts to be treated equally on the Hub
  3. It's bloody hard to let it go in the heat of the moment. On another point although it's a bit of an obscure point. I honestly think many drivers act like idiots towards cyclists because cyclists do look a bit like idiots themselves in shiny tight kit. There is a perception I think that the sport is full of rich people spending lots of money on looking professional when in fact they are pretty average. I don't have a point to make other than I think this plays a part in some peoples angst towards cyclists. I happen to be one of those cyclist in shiny kit but I do think we look like tosses.
  4. Hi guys anyone know if you can convert a 2008 epic S works 26ers to a 650B? I'll try paste a picture
  5. Any opinion on teasers vs lollipop lounge?
  6. thanks you boss - I will look them up and book a slot
  7. Any views on the best LBS for servicing Rocky Mountain dual suspension bikes in JHB? I had a bad experience with a well known shop that poured oil into the bushings on the suspension joints to stop the squeaking which I have subsequently found out is the reason the joints squeak.
  8. Didn't realize street cred was more important than utility.
  9. I see posts slagging off saddle bags occasionally in the classifieds section etc. Is this an image thing or a practical matter. Why are some folk so against keeping tools in a bag under your seat?
  10. Who, what is blink stefaans?
  11. Hi guys Looking for another marathon entry if anyone needs to pull out at the last minute. 0796523270
  12. Out of interest the SAS guys responded to me saying that one does need to change it on their system or your time will be incorrect.
  13. Thanks dudes
  14. But there are no start mats at the beginning of the MTB races.
  15. Anyone know how the SAS timing works? If one is seeded in B batch for a Nissan trailseaker race for example and chooses to start in F batch to ride with a friend or wife or whatever, does your actual start and finish time get captured or do they take the time that you cross the line at and subtract it from your registered batch start time? I can't see how they scan or capture your start number at the beginning of these races. I guess I'm not a big racer but interested to know whether starting back a couple of batches affects your seeding or not?
  16. No padding for 90km sounds eina
  17. Hi Guys - sorry if this is an obvious question or not right for this forum. I have entered my first half iron man in Durbs in October and basically learning to swim at the moment and hoping that my riding and running shouldn't be a problem. What I'm not clear about is what you ride in, do you wear your riding shorts with padding etc while you swim under a wetsuit and then just pull the suit off and ride. Then do you run in cycling shorts with the padding? Or am I getting the whole thing wrong and you just wear normal tights and ride with no padding?
  18. Thanks guys I'm now sorted for an entry
  19. Hi Guys Anyone got a spare entry for sale (marathon) - I've been battling with the entry site for a couple of days and now see that they are sold out. 0796523270
  20. Since I never got an entry, out of interest what did the 70km entry cost?
  21. I know there is about zero chance but I have a 20km entry because it is all I could get last night. If anyone wants to swop a 70 or 40 for my 20 I will throw in a bottle of cheap whiskey as well.
  22. Yip you right it's not great advice - he should go for a Rocky Mountain:)
  23. Well done to the folk working with sappi to make this happen
