  1. its supposed to be a whole lifestyle,, not a diet every once in a while,,,
  2. ok I'm past the point where I have a burning desire to get a pair of tubbies,,, but now i have a question... one of the things I love most about doing a race is the sound of all the wheels going at 40+ km/h and disagree with me if you want but a decent set of tubbies makes a nice "noise"!! but now, a couple of times some guys (with tubbies) comes sprinting past me in the bunch or is just out of his saddle attacking or countering whatever... and it sounds like his wheels are about to fall off!!?? or the bearings are gonna come flying at my face anytime soon... why is this?? is it "normal" for some tubbies (cheaper ones) to do this? or are these guys just risking their lives whenever the put their "smart, hardly been used racing wheels" on??
  3. oh good,, so I'm not the only one who has had thoughts about burning down a shop?? when I first took my laptop in, the socket where you charge it, was melted due to loose connection inside the laptop,, the guy at the technical dept told me it was a because of a "power surge" and can not be fix under warranty.. a power surge would have damaged the charger and everything not only the socket,, when I was there today I overheard that same guy tell someone his been working there (in the technical dept) since 2000 !! shame!!
  4. I'm willing to bet my bike,, they have the worst customer service in our country!!!! I spend an hour today in the shop (in east rand) waiting for the manager,, with a complaint I have, and end up leaving with nothing!!!

  12. if you do that with a garmin would it still be under warranty??
  13. is it the new SCOTT???
  14. everything is possible if you are willing to pay enough... it will be possible, but why do you want do it? (presume yours cracked aswell?? ) a while ago I took my campag spacers to an engineering company and asked them to increase the inner diameter, they charged me R120 for the jobs (about an hours labour!) but the thing that you want made, out of a manufacturing point of view is going to be difficult to make,, so be prepared to pay a few $$$$.
  15. simple answer = EVERYTHING it doesnt help if you have legs as strong as steam engines and they are pushing against jelly!! get the point?
  16. I have KEO carbon pedals,, we changed the pedals on saturday ( put some of these cheap pedals on the bike, like those ones you get of a GAME bike, and the click was still there!??
  17. ok I did the race yesterday,, and... the click is still there
  18. thanks JB,, I'll see in the race tomorrow what happens and post again but it is usually once per pedal stroke, and seems to get louder if I pedal harder?
  19. you can... but the better question is should you?? and the answer.... ( see above posts )
