Ok, I was going to type one really long letter, giving my side of the story. But in short, if you're interested mail me or call me. 082-4138935. Believe me when I say, I'm stuck in the middle of this one... All I'd like to add to this thread, its really unfortunate that the Tour de Boland is once again becoming a very controvercial event. As a cyclist from Worcester and Boland, I'd like to see the TdBoland become a success and hopefully we can get all parties involved around a table soon so we can sort out what went wrong this year and hopefully host a big combined PPA / Boland effort in the future.

They were supposed to have a meeting at 4pm this afternoon, hopefully Groot Lem will give us some feed back later this evening or early tomorrow morning. For the sake of the cyclists, I hope they can sort it out, so we can see the event happening.

CycleArt 016 590 1146 - Lillian or Cliff There was a similar posting last week, and Cycle art seems highly recommended, unfortunately a bit far for me to send it from the Western Cape.

Just remeber that its 2.5mm on either side, so combined bigger diameter is 5mm [ ]

Why dont you try and get a loan crank set, and go for a ride to get a feel for the longer crank set, do some intervals on a flat section and a nice long hard climb, and see for yourself if you can notice any difference. I recently baught a second hand TT bike, my road bike has 172.5 cranks, and the TT bike has 175, the biggest difference I could notice was that I feel more comfortable pushing a bigger gear on the flats with the 175mm cranks, but I can also feel that it's a bit more difficult to sit and pedal on steaper climbs with the longer cranks. But that's me. At the end of the day, you need to be comfortable with your setup, if your comfortable, you'll be efficient IMHO.

Go do a search on the hub, there was a posting a while ago on bike fitment, and I recall one particular guy from your area (Gautengeleng) who was recommended by quite a few poeple to help with bike setup. From what I've read & been told, longer cranks will enable you to push a bigger gear, i.e. more power, but shorter cranks will enable you to ride at higher cadences a bit easier. So crankarm lenght can also be influenced by what type of pedalling you prefer, "mashing" a big gear, or spinning at higher cadences alla LA.

Do you smoke them? I was wondering if it could help explain his hubbers name...

Just buy the road version, not the mtb ones

On behalf of the other Revue Cycling Club Mozambique members. A very happy birthday to our life club chairman! Have a veri-peri lekker b-day!

I'll give the Time pedals Absolutely awesome pedals, and since I've had mine, not once uncliped during a ride, race etc. Can't go wrong with these pedals!

Now this is a good looking bike. I think it just because it is painted carbon and not the overused black weave effect. I had an idea yesterday while reading through the "custom paintjob" thread that how cool will a white' date=' or maybe red, Scott CR1 look. Frankly I had enough of the arbon look. [/quote'] I quite like the new Scotts, the new red bits look a lot better than the Yellow of the previous models:

SO who won the poll on the best wheelset. Bora vs 404, my vote for bora's all the way!!!!

Nice quote MAN WITH NO NAME....
