  1. I received them a couple of years back during a similar trail in the institute It would have been nice to see a photo/video indicating the needle/equipment used beforehand.
  2. I got mine at builders warehouse in Tygervalley, but that was 7-8 years ago. Still have a bag of all the different sizes that I bought to make sure I have the right size for our different bikes. Let me know if you need something urgently and cant find them. ps - tape your frame with isolation tape first below that rubbers.
  3. He is ageing fast..
  4. Pretty calm response for someone sitting in a car that was destroyed around him.
  5. Brilliant event. Will definitely be back. The finish vibe was like a market day in France. Had a great time.
  6. hmm, need to get outside on my bike
  7. Some background music while reading: Hi Anyone know about options to catch a train to Matjiesfontein from CT (with bikes) The idea is to MTB back with panniers in ~3 days. Here I have a better idea on routes etc. (Either trough Ceres or Montague), but comments would be appreciated. g
  8. Impressive. My wife asked, pleaded, cried and threatened - and I kept on doing it. Then one day she did it (successfully) before my eyes on our ride before I could stop her. I (we) never did it again.
  9. Also scratching my head why the removal of that would add strength.
  10. Enjoy gummi! Goosebumps standing there in the warsone. Better than a TdF stage in my opinion.
  11. that's indeed the place and those signs were there when I turned around and backtracked. Not the organisers fault, but the first 1 or two riders that got it wrong. Just a note: When I past there the first time, the sun was perfectly from the front, it was downhill and with the amount of dust I could only see the rider profiles in front of me and was actually worried about unseen potholes. No complaints, maybe bigger/more/more than 30m away arrows might help on downhill dusty turns. (No complaints from me. the route killed me anyway)
  12. Mark, the fact that you opened your shop to help my wife with a chain while on a ride yourself, means a lot to me. I already use your shop for services from outside your catchment area because of quality etc, but this will be remembered. Thanks. You are a good man!
  13. Well done Frohan!
  14. The backpack commuting is a very Saffa thing for some reason. the euros is on the other hand, are very much carrier/pannier oriented.

    Social tandems was TT, starting almost 2hours after L. That seeding is fine because it contained me. Think you are talking about slow racing tandems?
  18. The kids was the thing what struck me as well: How calm they are in a situation like that, ready to move in behind the leaders when things open up - as if they are used to it. Even joined with the pepper spraying. My line of thought was that what must they had seen before to make them so casual about it here. I pray that they find some mentors that can demonstrate social acceptable behaviour, otherwise we are doomed. So only two are willing to put their hands up and fall on the sword, pffft how brave are all of them now that they are outnumbered.
  19. I like. Blackberg instead of Swarberg? tsk tsk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swartberg
  20. brilliant! - is it yours Icycling?
  21. A couple of years ago after I was attacked, I was asked to donate money to the BMX project which I did. Sadly the problem still hang around. One would think someone from the community see the opportunity to put up a 'beach lifesaver' tower there and ensure security during peak cycling hours. (Advertising space on such a tower must be worth something and it should not be difficult to find monthly donations to cover a salary or two.)
  22. https://plus.google.com/photos/111324164786249356699/albums/5983711995755930513?banner=pwa and there was beer
  23. I was also scratching my head and wondering who gets the yersey. All tje arguments are there but no decision.
  24. Hi Lance Any news on the new route that was planned?
