  1. This allways comes in handy: http://www.teamabsol...wisdom/zen.html
  2. Huh? I don't get it. What group are you guys in? I'm AL. I'm a bit nervous about this. See you Sunday.
  3. I follow a very similar procedure. What do you use to lube your chain? I dip mine in melted paraffin wax. I got the wax from Planet Nails. I melt the wax in a steel dish on an old electric frying pan. When I take the chain out, I wipe the excess wax off the outside with a rag. The chain and cassette stays clean for a very long time doing this, and according to Friction Facts, this is the best lube in terms of power efficiency. My derailleur jockey wheels have bushings, not ball bearings, and so every 2nd wash, I take them off, clean them, and regrease them. And Mr Min for the frame. Gives it a shine
  4. So that the numbers are more googleable: 0742182515 0782609563 +27742182515 +27782609563
  5. Dave Brailsford: this is not what we thought you meant when you said you will make the team more transparent.

    Not Dangerous

    Why not start in the disadvantaged areas. Build bike lanes in new townships, and from townships to places of work. I think one place that would be excellent to do this would be from Tembisa to Spartan/Sebenza (Along Zuurfountain/Moderfountain). There are all ready a fair number of cycling commuters who use this route. Make it safer and more pleasant, and I'm sure their numbers will grow.
  7. How much of these price increases are due to the reserve bank increasing the Rands in circulation, and stiffing their coffers in the process?
  8. Put the chip number into the racetec site, and you will get their name. Or notify racetec, and they will be able to contact the person, as I believe they have contact details in their db. Edit: sorry, I did not read properly. I see you allready have their name.
  9. I'm keen to ride on the 30, 31, and maybe the 1st. Just let me know the time and place.
  10. What he is saying is the club you joined is probably "Cycle Lab". "Super Cycling" is the name of a TV show.
  11. I believe you are confusing national roads with highways. National roads are often highways, but not always. The N12 south east of Soweto is not highway. Yes, it is against the law to cycle on a highway. It is perfectly legal to cycle on national road that is not highway.
  12. I'm struggling to understand the route sheet for the 400km on 15/12/2013. So I've made maps: Part 1 Part 2 P.S. The greatest thing about the new website: entry form. No more print, fill in with pen, and scan business.
  13. Have your raincoats ready. Prediction from forecast.io: Rain throughout the day
  14. Jeez, sorry guys for posting an old video. I did a search before I posted. Nothing comes up for "sagan parking", "peter parking". Maybe it was lost in the great "thehubsa" crash of 2013.

  16. A birdy just told me there are 48 entries for the IK.
  17. Oh, Sorry.
  18. Ian Kernick is next week.
  19. E2E = Engen to Engen, a group ride starting and ending at Engen in Bryanston on Main Rd near to the William Nicole. Notorious for it racing snakes and red light jumpers. I live in Malanshof, and would be interested. Wednesday and Friday suit me.
  20. It shows the group you started in, not the group you were seeded in. He probably dropped back to ride with someone.
  21. Makes sense from a safety point of view to try arrange the route so that the downhill bits are on smooth wide tar.
  22. Thanks, Doing my entry now.
  23. Site is fixed now.
  24. Ok, my bad.
