Cool. It is open Monday to Thursday 17h00 - 18h30 every week

Hey Di, have you considered the Kyalami thing? 100% safe, Smooth road, NO cars, like minded people, completely and accurately repeatable rides, a great way to measure improvement as you don't have to slow for cars, taxis, taxis robots, taxis, poepals, taxi poepals, a killer hill and a lekker downhill. Dunno why my font has changed!? TiBones2009-01-09 00:54:19

I don't have the legs to ride the 11 (or 12 for that matter) much but watch out for me on the downhills!

Mebbe the answer is to use the 11 on a race like the fast one and change back to 12 on those races what got uphills. @BigBen - thanx if its been done I will bravely go where others have dared to tread and Ill ignore the wear until I can use the little bugger as a neutral!

Thanx TGIP - I spin out downhill at about 83 Kph but, thanks to my friend gravity, I should be able to propel my ample frame a bit faster. Downhills are my friends. I also have no ambitions to win a race, just go faster. 48 years and 106 kgs never gonna get me into the elites!

cant get a 54 for an 8 spd sora. Guy at the shop asks (in all seriousness) why dont I just change the back to a 10 spd? I then asks him I asks - so then do I need to change my RD? Yes he says he says to me. Then I asks him what about shifters? Yes he says.. And then I asks with tears in my baby blues - and now that Im up to 10 spd, will I need to change my chain and Crank and bottom bracket and blades? Yes he says. OK thanks I say. All I want is an 11 t for a bike that I could ill afford at the time! D@@s!

Not that big on creatine during exercise, only really for explosive short sports like sprinting etc... Thanks - 'preciate the advice

Hey Techies, please help! A while ago I posted a question regarding changing my gearing to give me a bit more oomph on the downhills. I have recently taken my bike to get a 53 ring fitted but apparently Shimano do not do an 11 tooth for an old 8 speed sora cluster any more. My old bike has just such an 11 tooth, also a sora. Can I change just the smallest gear, or must I swap the whole cluster? I am not really keen on this although it appears to be the easiest and quickest solution, simply because of the wear factor on the old cluster. Also can I do it at home, given that I have a chain wrench and that funny little splined spanner that I've forgotten the name of? TiBones2009-01-08 01:04:46

Colin, What is your take on Creatine? The only real reason that I use Vooma as well as Whasp is the (small and maybe insignificant) creatine content?

Hey Pornstar, once again, a big up for having such an innovative approach to getting your stuff on the market: 1. Having a product that works well 2. putting your ^%ck on a block with regards the environmental issues 3. Using the feedback from cyclists to improve 4. Offering something new and better (read pepto protein and packaging) Thanx

I s'pose helmets are a bit like bikinis - the less material, (lighter) the more they cost. The more gaps in the material, (cooler) the more they cost.

Try Fred Evans at PolyFlex 011 614 1014 or polyflexseals dot co dot za. He can mould to size in the hardness you want/need.

Sounds like the old "cutting off yournose to spite your face"?

popcorn anyone?

Hey TNT more popcorn please!
