Actually, in the interest of derailling the thread: http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2011/08/super-glue-was-invented-by-accident-twice/ So, it is used for closing wounds, but your thoughts on that being it's provenance are incorrect

Good news for Africa?

Thanks for the laugh. I value pics of Durianrider's ex more.

What the hell have you been typing that your phone chose to autocorrect to babies?

What if they test everyone before they go in, doesn't this system effectively make is easier to control a "race bubble"?

Thank heavens we're all different.

The rules are that car drivers can do whatever they please and you are sol on a bicycle. TIA as the saying goes.

I can still go right now and buy a brand new car with drum brakes, so I doubt your prophecy is accurate with respect to the technology curve.

I don't know what I'm looking at? What is the new thing that has everyone's panty in a bunch? I will say that looks like one cluttered handlebar.

Why wouldn't you?

That's exactly what I thought, and I loved Person of Interest.

Shot. I'll give it a try.

Finished Love on Netflix and busy with the current episode of Madalorian. What's next?

Here it's closed: Here it's open (making the calliper open wider. It's called a quick release, because you open it to get the wheel in an out and to let the brake blocks clear the tyre. When you close it again, the blocks align close to the rim. Here it's being moved: Here is some advice: https://www.fezzari.com/support/rb_brakes

Still surprising to me how many people you see riding with their brake's quick release set to the open position permanently.

In the context of the brake vs brake thread that this is, both fared equally well in your story. Even steven. is what I took away from it.

Except no-one dieded in his story did they? I didn't read it as that or that even anyone got hurt? Maybe I misread. All this anecdotal evidence doesn't mean much anyway. There would have been many other factors at play to account for the perceived stopping distances in that story.

Well, ****! https://www.cyclelab.com/products/bikes/road-bikes/carbon-road-bikes?sort=high-low I woulda called those R60k - R100k rim brake bikes high end, but I guess I'm just slumming it. It's worse, these clowns are selling entry level frames at R80k that are rim brake https://www.asgthestore.co.za/product-category/bikes/road-bikes/

Lol's at you lot bringing in cars to the debate. Like a bicycle weighs 2 tons and goes 100km/h + It's like this "aero" bike obsession. It's meaningless at funrider speeds and even more meaningless when you are sat in a bunch of riders.

If I know I'm gonna be out (training or racing) for longer then 3-3.5 hours I will take a pronutro protein bar and a gel with. (and including the below) For 3 hours or less, one bottle (600ml) water and two bioplus sachets. (During training I rarely take a sachet or gel or anything, and depending on the temperature mostly no need for a bottle either. I did two 100km plus rides on sat and sun thus weekend, and had half a bottle each day, with no gels or anything vaguely foodlike) Other than DC, I can't see myself taking longer than 3 hours for any road race at the moment in SA. (unless there's multiple punctures - but that's not really gonna take more effort, just longer)

Do you weigh more after a ride than before?

I thought the marketers hyped an aero advantage for discs as well?

Depends on the climb? I mean there's a difference to what your body will metabolise going over suikerbossie, to riding over Long Tom's from Sabie all the way to Lydenburg?

I told you guys, the only way is the bike goes inside. I got a 7 seater mpv just so we can all be comfortable inside along with the bike when needed.
