  1. Hi Guys and Girls I am putting up a stand to promote Chain-L at the Cycletour Expo before the Argus. I Need 2 guys/girls (preferably in bikinis ) to answer customer questions and handle sales during the Cycletour Expo from 10 to 12 March. Opening times: Thursday 10th March 10h00 - 20h00 Friday 11th March 10h00 - 20h00 Saturday 12th March 09h00 - 16h00 Can work in shifts, or together whatever you prefer. We can work out the finer details and compensation closer the date. PM me if interested.
  2. where do you get the design template if I want to try my hand at it? Like 4 and 1
  3. Thanks Great Trek, will pm you now!
  4. Jeroen. you get what you pay for.
  5. Bought some stuff at Evans, and delivery was 2 days late, so now the person that was going to bring the stuff back for me has already left the UK. 1 pair of MTB shoes 2 shirts 1 pair of gloves The stuff has been removed from the original packaging and all labels removed, so duties should not be payable. The value is also below the R3000 allowance that individuals get. From SARS website LINK: New or Used Goods in Accompanied Baggage to a total value not exceeding R3 000 per person In addition to the personal effects and consumables allowances, travellers are allowed new or used goods in accompanied baggage to the value of R3 000. This allowance is only valid once per person during a 30 day period and shall not apply to goods imported by persons returning after an absence of less than 48 hours. Please PM me if you can help or know someone that can help. Thanks Chain-L
  6. Comment by reader of this article (see below). They all DOPE and that is the sad part about this great sport. Spoke to an retired Iron Man racer and said he used to dope and there is almost no way that a non doper can compete with a doper at this level. what a joke schleck is... is he ever going to take responsibility for dropping his own chain by being in the wrong gear? on top of that, he, without hesitation left contador and armstrong after his brother held them up in a crash... further, was it not his father who was caught with a trunk full of steroids and his brother who was given a ban for doping? are we to believe that andy was on a different track than his father and frank who he has trained with since he was a child. he should be a man and concede that he popped his own chain and alberto handed him the stage win on the col de tourmalet as a gesture. is this andy suddenly saying he is deserved of getting contador's yellow jersey after months and months of saying he doesn't want it. regardless of contador's suspension or alleged clenbuterol use (of which not one scientist has been able to explain why it didn't show up the day before or the day after which 100% disproves a plasticizer doping theory), schleck is a lousy sportsman and they should give the title to the assasin or sanchez who have at least had the good grace to shut up and ride.

  7. You do realise that 100% is more than 16%? They are not taking your money and selling it to someone else at the same price-thats the whole point! BTW, for a person that feels so strongly about charity, you have a tasteful signature mocking a cancer survivor!
  8. Just did a sub for an entry to the attakwas. No charge, just an email to the organisors... Even that other 7 day race charge a % of the entry for a sub and not double. The benificiary is irrelavant. It does not mean that because you give the entry fee to charity that you can charge double. It will be hard to convince me that this is the right way to deal with substitutions.
  9. specialized without a doubt. Do a search for the superfly, every second reviewers bike has cracked.
  10. koukie, I am also in the market vor one of these, have done a lot of reading, and it seems like a great bike for the price. will be taking one for a spin this weekend from my LBS. I think it is quite well priced if you compare it to the flash one which goes for 56k an only weighs 300 grams lighter. What other options are you looking at? I am also considering a S-works and the Scott with the 949gram carbon frame that should be here soon. Let me know what you can find out.
  11. I can not see the relevance of the price of chain lube to this thread, but then again, what do i know? I am not in the race car or race oranising business No other race that i know of has double entry fee for subs.
  12. Still think a R50-R100 admin fee will be acceptable. Feel that charging twice for the same entry is taking it a bit far. There can be many reasons for people not starting the race and this system makes it difficult for those to recover their costs and also makes the entry VERY expensive for the new rider.
  13. Spoke to the Argus cycle tour office today regarding taking over another riders entry: This is what they told me and I have a huge problem with this (if the lady explained it correctly to me). The person that is giving up the entry may not ask me more than what he originally paid (R275 in this case). I must pay him to take over the entry if he demands money (which everybody that can not ride will surely try to do to recover their costs). I must then pay another R275 to the organizers for my entry!!! This is on top of the R275 paid to the person who's entry I am taking over. Something is not right here, they are making double profit on the entry! Am I missing something? See post from FAQ section on the site: http://www.cycletour.co.za/theEvent.aspx What if I enter but cannot take part? If you cannot take part, then you may find another cyclist to take your place and the organisers will arrange a substitution. Substitutions must be arranged through the Cycle Tour office between 1 February and 25 February 2011. The original entrant will NOT be refunded his/her entry fee and his/her number will be withdrawn. If you are making your place in the Cycle Tour available for substitution, you may ask the substitute rider to refund your entry fee but you may not ask for more than you originally paid. Contraventions will result in the disqualification of both parties. Merchandise orders and chip purchases are not transferable. You will need to ask someone to collect your merchandise at Registration on your behalf. The procedure is explained on our Substitutions page.
  14. Bought a new bike and have had problems with irregular braking since day one. Feels as if the wheel is not true, but have taken it two different shops and the wheel is true. When I replace the wheel with a test wheel, all is good. The problem must therefore be with the rim. Two bike shops have smoothed the rim and pads but no luck, actually made it worse. The only other thing I can think of is that there is a slight widening of the rim through a manufacturer error. anybody came across a similar problem before?
  15. WTF Dude, start your own thread! the hub is for quality products!
