  1. Just ride your bike damnit.
  2. I like my 26r HT Zaskar, but like my road bike more. So 26r serves my needs just fine. I think 29r HT is the future, but 26r F/S has a bit more life left?
  3. Nothing..... Wow, I'm shocked, Hubbers, thought you all knew it
  4. Thule arent the class leaders for nothing. I've got two Thule's they're by far the best
  5. Good Morning Brains Trust. A few of us are considering heading out for Some MTB in the Kyalami Bealeau Chartwell area this weekend. I have not been out that way in a good 6 months. What is the current safety like out that neck of the woods? Any incidents? What is the lie of the land? Let me know, dont want to be heading into a warzone, if i can avoid it. PS- if you want to join us, let me know.
  6. I used to have a 970. I changed it to a Euroride, but for other reasons. I still have a Zaskar Pro. Mampara is correct. What youve got to do, assuming the crank is facing you and not the car Turn the rubber mount so its facing, not upwards, but to the left, so that your seatposttube, just below the GT Triangle slots in there, and fasten. On the right side, it must be fastend on down tube, not the bottom tube. DO NOT BUY AN ADAPTOR. It hangs too low that way!!!! I tried that and it caught the tyres in direct line of my exhausts, on both sides, almost popping the tyres, not to mention the risk of bumps etc!
  7. FWIW The Cross Trail's are a better all-round choice Once upon a time, I was over 100kg's and I rode Cross Trail's quite successfuly. I've ridden mine over 10 000km, and to date, all I've had replaced is 2 spokes (in for one of them now) and a Free Hub Body, after Sabie X. I think they're great!
  8. I am a club 100 member. Dig the vibe. Its social at the backend of the pack A, B and even C1 are more training focussed. Don't let the kit determine your club. That said, the club100 bibs are super comfy
  9. Sticking the Tandems with AL gave AL a 20 Min Advantage over BL. Winning time in AL was seriously 20+mins ahead of BL. Glad that i got off that one in one piece
  10. That was an absolute stuff up. How on earth could they put AL with Racing Tandems. At the 50km mark, we had an avg of around 49km/h. WTF???? Yes we caught C4 and C3. I understand that AL wont be DQ'd but there was talk of C4 having trouble. C4 wouldnt give way to AL. By the time we hit SBR, the bunch was made up of Racing Tandems, AL, C3, and C4. The smell of Brakes, lurching in the bunch was characteristic of this race. What a balls up. Not too happy
  11. GT is awesome. So rigid, no flex. Worth the extra $$$$ AND- Omnico gave me extra special service when my frame failed 2 days before Sabie
  12. R u sure, with the oil all welling up?
  13. Ok, so i'm very confused here. This morning I went to gym and in my seesion i burnt 1085kcal (according to my polar) (run, ride, and weights) which is 1085000 calories, which is 4541.593 kj. Now, I belive the RDA calories for a male is 2500? I believe from what I've read the RDA KJ is 7000 So Today I burnt 1085000 calories (if those calculations are to be beleived) meaning that i have a deficit of 1082500 or 4531kj still availible over and above the RDA, which ties back to the KJ burnt. SO I've learnt that 1kcal does not eqaul 1 calorie, but 1000 (name suggests it doesnt it) Interesting
  14. Impossible that your diet only allows 3725kj. You'll die, must be kcal. Or you're in prison?
  15. Hard Luck Jeremy, It was certainly a lot tougher than the "old" Fast One. I was hoping for much the same in terms of profile or at least speed on the route. With that in mind, I was aiming at a 2:30, in the end, all i could manage was a 2:43, I'm not upset though, i did drop back to ride with a friend in B, and the B pace was lacking in some parts, but good overall. Well done to organizers for ensuring the potholes were well marked. Thumbs down to the organizers for horrific parking arrangements, what a nightmare!!!!!! Any one have the winning time?
  16. I Ride on Mavic's on MTB and Road. Never a problem. Gone through a Freehub Body on the MTB, but thats it Service seems to have been fine up to now.
  17. I am in J Seems like J is Thehub group?
  18. Perhaps you should stop sitting on your nuts? Just saying..... Dont know dude, sounds k@k
  19. Just drop back, thats all
  20. 91.3 - Shouldnt have had big weekend. Oh well
