Giant Toughroad build. Continental Race kings 2.2

It ain't gonna happen until just as in some of the other sporting disciplines, the cycling fraternity stands together and takes them on .

But that's all changed now hasn't it?

Specialized Sawtooth 42 c - Tubliss ready - little pricey though

If there are any riders out there whom have been suspended or fined for riding in non sanctioned events and would be looking at taking CSA head on - I am prepared to do the following: 1) Pay for the first consultation with a legal team that has experience and success regarding this matter. 2) Contribute R20K to a legal fund,

Spot on - CSA does not have exclusive rights to cycling events in SA.

They can't do anything about it.

1 arrived from the States last week. Haven't used it yet. Got tired of waiting for the local distributor.

Giant Toughroad comes with a carbon fork that takes panniers, so I assume there must be others as well.The steerers .aluminium though.

The UCI rule cannot override the Constitution of South Africa which allows for freedom of association amongst others. The suspension or fining of riders for competing in unsanctioned events is illegal.

Thanks . I took a variety of different greases, subjected them to high heat, periods of soaking in different solvents such as petrol, paraffin and Prepsol. Red Rubber grease came out tops by a long margin. I have now been using it for years on steering head and suspension bearings on both bicycles and motorbikes and on Crankbrothers pedals. In certain instances the life span on bearings has been increased by years. Will get a tube of the CRC stuff and subject it to the same.

Spot on for repacking your bearings with marine grease which is obviously more resistant to water and solvents which I feel is the greatest cause of bearing failure - out of interest, what brand of grease are you using - would like to test it against what I am using.

It wasn't only in Motorsport that breakaway groups formed, but if my memory serves me correct, power and inflatable boat racing, either karate or judo and then the debacle around athletics. The good that came from the shake up in Motorsport. 1) The rot at the top resigned and the then CEO eventually faced criminal charges. 2)The Constitution reigned supreme in regards to freedom of choice, association and other factors. In other words,competitors could not be banned, fined or suspended for competing in non MSA sanctioned events. 3)MSA became a more streamlined organisation 4)Today as a motorcycle competitor you can compete in MSA events, Womza events, Foot Up Trials which now operates completely independently from the 2 main organisations, Mielie field racing and charity events - without any fear of repercussions - which is the way it should be. .

Maybe this issue needs to be taken up on the CSA FB page. Public humiliation might help .

Cannabis oil - nothing beats it .

CONSEQUENCES FOR ALL SPORT Motorsport South Africa has with concern taken note of the judgment handed down today in the North Gauteng High Court in the dispute between it & World of Motorsport ZA. In particular the judgment in respect of the constitutionality &/or enforceability of section 1 of the National Sport & Recreation Act appears to be problematical & may likely have unintended & far reaching consequences not only for motorsport, but for all National Federations seized with the administration & control of particular sporting codes. The typed transcript of the judgment is expected during the course of next week, whereupon Motorsport South Africa shall consider its position with regard to an appeal against the judgment. Bullying tactics by Sport Governing bodies has seen it's backside in the courts of this country, not only in motorsport, but in others as well. The cycling fraternity just has not realized this yet.

Was it the same as what we find in a tub of Castrol, Spanjaard ,Wynn's or any other supplier or a thinned out variation - if so then there's a big difference to whats supplied by the local spares shop.

Don't use red rubber grease on suspension.Rather than going into a long drawn out explanation , its a product that has been around a lot longer than most manufacturers of motorcycle and bicycle suspension, yet none of these manufacturers use it.

Animal shelters use peanut butter to remove tar on affected animals

This is caused by the pistons pushing out at an angle - due to riding with a loose back wheel,manually spreading the pads at an angle and possibly with severe misalignment of the caliper. Not an uncommon problem with ceramic pistons as they are extremely brittle in comparison to their steel counterparts

Also prefer the puregrip to the protection.

2017 Anthem X has shed over a kilogram in weight over the 2016 model . Awesome bike.

As a "hobby wheel builder" who does not benefit from trade discounts I started with double butted spokes. A couple of months ago I .built my first wheelset with Alpina bladed spokes. Despite the extra work that goes into the build I prefer using them on both road and mtb. I don't bother with double butted anymore.
