True. There is a privacy function which allows only you to see your workouts but then you cannot see how you are doing compared to others and cannot get KOM when its private, so I doubt anybody uses the privacy function.

Just make a small hole in it, sealant will fill and block. Thats some good milage. What tyres are they?

Awww yeah great work laddy hope the synidcate is caught! Let those sucker sit in a cell!

Joaquim out, now im sad.

When you wake up and think you wont take the bike today, thats when you should ride. Every time I get stuck taking the car (due to oversleep or lack of sleep) I ALWAYS get stuck in the worst traffic going an dcoming back from work

Is the 20km loop open to public yet?

Sigh!! No more replacement stock, they are waiting for new stock (which might only be in beginning of next month). Time for new hubs. CHEERS SHIMANO HUBS!!!

Hi Skollie, Check out this thread of DIY tools, the first page has some tools that you need. DIY Press fit tool and Bearing remover

Have you had any feedback? or how long did the replacement take? I have been waiting 2 weeks now for a waranty replacement, have not heard a word from anybody (LBS or Coolheat). I hope this doesnt take any longer, I am itching to get on my other bike again.

Awesome!! Lol'd at the dog that fell off the trail, then tries to climb up again. Looks fun!

Saw a few in Northcliff cycles the other day! What-a-bike! defo saving up for one!

Did anybody ever watch Pacific blue? I loved the way those guys could trap a bicycle. Coolest show back in its day, had Babes, Beaches and Bicycles

Guess I didnt win, such sadness.

Coolo, Done! Good Luck Johan!

Coolheat are also doing a replacement on mine, now it is just a wait for the replacement...

can it fit on a shimano xt hub?

haaibo. I read this thread the other day. Yesterday while riding home my cassette came loose. Today I took a closer look.. See the crack through the middle and a piece missing from the side. So now I am off to find a new one. Can I fit a hope freebody onto a shimano hub? Are they compatible with one another or do yo have to replace with a shimano freebody?

Looks cool, but ja it looks like its going to get really hot. Maybe a buff with some sort of nose clip to close the gap between buff and glasses

I remember when riding in winter on the motorbike with a scrambler helmet and goggles, had balaclava where it only had holes for the eyes, i could see through the goggles only half the time

This morning I used on of those flimsy-material bags as a chest protector as I could not find a vest anywhere - it worked like a charm. put it upside down and throw the strings over your arms. I have a buff, but the problem is that everytime I go a bit slow or stop at a robot my glasses fog up, so I either have to breath with my lips pushed against the buff or pull the buff down under my nose. Anyone else have same issue?

And Cold & Flu Prevention Tips A tickle in your throat? A cloudy head? An achy body? Yup, you’re coming down with something… Here’s how to stop a cold in its tracks. As soon as you start experiencing symptoms: Start drinking water. Staying hydrated cuts down on symptoms like a sore throat and a stuffy nose Gargle with salt water. Add half a teaspoon of salt to a glass of warm water. The salt draws out the excess water in your throat’s tissues, reducing the inflammation, clearing the mucous and irritants from the back of the throat Keep your nose clean. Use a saline nasal spray, this will reduce the impact of the symptoms Head to the pharmacy within the first two hours. Grab a pain reliever like acetaminophen to fight off achiness Have 1 or 2 tablespoons of honey in tea or straight from the jar (forget cough medicine!) Skip work if you can. Your body can fight off the virus better if you are rested Don’t forget the fluids Light exercise can boost the immune system At the end of the day choose a dinner that includes protein-packed foods and plenty of antioxidant-rich fruit and vegetables Take a hot shower before bed and get a good night’s rest Should you feel worse or feel a fever coming on, start vomiting or have a bad headache, call your doctor. Otherwise keep up the routine for the next few days to be sure that you kick that cold for good! Tips to prevent the common cold: Wash your hands often Don’t smoke Use disposable items if someone in your family is infected Keep household surfaces clean and wipe with disinfectant Dispose of tissues properly Maintain a healthy lifestyle with adequate sleep, good nutrition and physical exercise Control stress. People experiencing emotional stress have weakened immune systems Keep warm. Shivering depresses the immune system and makes us more likely to catch colds. Immune boosting tips: Antioxidants are very important. Increase your intake of Vitamin C, A and E, beta and mixed carotenes and selenium Eat lots of fruit and vegetables daily. Drink a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice every day (with 250 mg of Vitamin c per glass, it is enough for a child’s daily needs in winter, an adult needs a little more) De-stress. Ongoing stress places tremendous strain on your immune system Drink lots of tea. Research has found that people who drink five to six cups of tea each day seemed to get a boost in that part of the immune system that acts as a first line of defence against infection Eat cereal rich in polyphenols to restore the immune system Oligosaccharides in soya make immunity boosting organisms grow more rapidly Prebiotics are food components that improve the food supply of the bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, so that the beneficial bacteria can flourish Probiotics increase the uptake of important minerals preventing deficiencies Daily intake of essential nutrients. Vitamin A, Iron and Zinc Laugh; it decreases the amount of stress hormones in your body boosting your mood and immune system. http://www.fedhealth.co.za/customer-stories/cold-flu-prevention-tips/

I found this while scanning my medical aid website. Busting colds and flu myths No matter how many cold and flu seasons you have weathered in your life, chances are you’re still buying into some far-too-common illness myths! Learn more: You shouldn’t exercise with a cold. Skip the gym and you will actually stay sick longer. Light to moderate exercise when you are sick will boost your immune system. Cold weather can make you catch a cold. Record lows don’t cause colds – viruses do. Flu shots can give you the flu. The influenza virus infects you 48 hours before you have any symptoms, so if you get the vaccine during this time period, it will appear that the vaccine caused the flu, but you would’ve gotten sick anyway. You catch a cold because your immunity is low. Cold viruses do not require a weakened immune system. Antibiotics cure the common cold. Antibiotics targets bacteria, they cannot kill the viruses that cause colds. There is a cure for the common cold. Cold medications can only relieve symptoms, not speed up recovery. Eat chicken soup. This is one myth that contains a grain of truth. Studies concluded that chicken soup helps the body to clear mucous from the bronchial tubes faster and more effectively than other liquids. Inhaling its warm vapours raises the temperature of the nose and loosens thickened secretions. If you get your flu vaccine too early, your protection will wear off before the end of the flu season. A flu vaccine will last for at least a year, no reason to wait. If you get the flu once, you will not get it again that season. Infection with one type of influenza strain will not safeguard you against any new or mutated viral strains. Skip the flu shot if you are pregnant. Woman who are pregnant are at increased risk of complications from the flu. Pregnant woman who have been vaccinated will pass preventative antibodies to their babies. You can sweat out a cold. You won’t get rid of a cold by sweating it out. Although a hot bath may make you feel better, it will not speed up your recovery time. Stress increases the risk of coming down with the flu. Stress cannot cause a cold. Chronic stress may make it harder to recover and cope with symptoms of cold and flu. Vitamin C will help to starve off a cold. Vitamins and minerals have no effect on the cold virus. Cold causes a cold. You have probably been warned at one time or another, not to go out with wet hair or to wrap up warm so you don’t catch a cold. You only catch a cold when you come into contact with the cold virus. It does not matter if you are hot, cold, warm or dry. Starve a fever, feed a cold. Eating has no negative impact on the body when you are sick; in fact the opposite is true. Food provides the body with fuel to cope with illness – so when you are sick, eat healthy and well. Kissing a person with a cold will cause you to catch it. The reality is that the quantity of virus on the lips and mouth are miniscule and a much larger dose would be required for you to become infected. It is the nasal mucous you have to worry about – so no nose – kissing! http://www.fedhealth.co.za/customer-stories/busting-colds-and-flu-myths/
