  1. I haven't seen her though.
  2. A Madone. I ended up getting a Foil. You never know what you will see and simply want.

    Graskop

    Bit of a shot in the dark, but I'm in Graskop for a week or so at the end of the month. Gonna sling in a quality training block (4-ish hours a day - I have some routes mapped out - road) if anyone is interested.
  4. Over or under tightening causes it to wear prematurely. Look for the correct size and angle. When I first started riding the then chairman of our club got himself a brand new Cosmos. He proudly showed us all it's "imported centering device" in the headset. The thing was so overtightened you could almost hear it screaming.
  5. Ah, one of those storm in a teacup things by the sounds of it.
  6. Where's the offensive ad or whatever?
  7. Unorthodox was brilliant. A lot of reading, but very interesting.
  8. I use SAB. Haven't tried to make a shake yet. In seriousness, I use both Nutritech and NPL supplements.,

  10. You see how your explanation actually supports riding in a group nullifying aero gains?
  11. You should watch that GCN vid about how slowly the pro's train, and why. Why being the important takeaway.
  12. Me either. I was wondering what bike the OP actually had with the thread title.
  13. Exactly why I'm asking about the loss due to not training being attributed to covid. When I don't train, I find the first thing that goes is my aerobic threshold, making my heart rate spike just walking up the stairs to my office at home. I also find antibiotics have far more of an impact on my hr variability than the disease they just treated. IE, I find more hr variability if I used antibiotics to treat a respiratory infection as to when I don't use them for a similar infection. Edit: I'm not downplaying the seriousness of the disease, in fact my own son (and other family members) had it, I'm just curious as to the reasons behind why sporting performance varies.
  14. Interesting. How much of that variance is attributable to covid, and how much is due to a drop off in fitness that would happen with no training for a month or so?
  15. Yeah, must be the east rand in me, but I like black on black.
  16. Someone please explain me why tanwall tyres make you lot all get moist? I rate they look sif.
  17. Remember when we had an entire interclub challenge? Plenty of those routes they used were smaller circuits, like up to 15-20km long, you just do a few laps depending on the category.
  18. That reminds me, I have a pair of Ksyriums I need to sling on the classifieds. Thanks.

    I see your location as Randburg. E2E no longer happening? Surely you are aware if there are two guys on bikes on the same stretch of road, a race is bound to erupt.
  20. What's the constraint? The size of the hydraulic fluid reservoir? Build it into the handlebar?

    As if Froome doesn't look weird enough on the bike.

    Jonathan Vaughters will come out of retirement for that.

    In addition to the yellow, green, white and polka dot jerseys at the tour they'll need a paisley one for the most hipster doofus looking rider.

    Need to ban that ***. It's slightly uglier than the stupidtuck.
  25. Ping Eldron, he knows of some nano coating thing. He's in Denmark, but can probably point you at a local solution.
