Thanks

Hi Chaps, ladies Any one know, correct me - my race number must be pined on to the back of my shirt ? I see we must put our details behind and there is a tear line. I ignoring this. Correct ?

Bike Riders are respectable on roads in general, as they know they come off second best to cars. I think all Hubbars for or against should calm down. Cars and Taxis in SA seem not to identify with people on bikes, we invisible. Hence making road riding in SA very dangerous, we all know that I hope.. Happy days.

What ever the case, motorist and taxi mainly in SA deserve the bad wrap. In Johannesburg the way taxis drive should bring the government to bring in the army let alone more unless good for noting bribe wanting traffic police. In the Cape, you still have a little law and order come to Jhb and get a taste of our roads, you will not believe how good you got it. You also not believe how far taxis can take it till you see it first hand. People get killed hear daily in by taxis. I put the blame squally on a government bent on stealing instead of ruling properly and creating what we all have forgotten , civil society !!! Back from three weeks in the USA, I tell you that we have long forgotten what a free first world society is all about. Anacary rules every where outside of the western cape. Defend you little bastion of normality. CAPE TOWN, It's like another country.

I had avid brakes, had them bleed till I was bleeding ,,, Total rubbish replaced with complete sets of XTR. It's like a new bike, roller coaster and stop when u want to. Modulation a big word for slow reaction brakes. When flying down Silvermine , if your speed is high there is more modulation with good brakes. Avid lose grip after a few pulls.

Took my bike to have my tyers changed from MTB to slicks for a road race, the bike shop who I will no name had the genius at the back clean the latex off ,as he must have spilled some with a wire brush. Not cheep rims now all scratched. I could not even bother complaining. Owner never checks on work done just stands behind till.... Staying away for store. So I researched this and found using spray oil or Mr min can help with a cloth. Or a eraser if its not got grit in it. It forms a rubber ball and easy to rub the stuck stuff off.

Offer a reward. Make sure all staff at store and at center know about reward.

In CT on holiday needed to bleed my brakes after some issues, went to CWC GREENPOINT. Thay had no mineral oil in stock - BUT manger went in the back and brought me a small bottle with enough to bleed my brakes and gave it to me no charge!!!!! Brilliant service. I bought R900 worth of nice things after that. Next day I take my new bike in for help on cableing. Did not get the bike there. They set up the bike and again did not charge me. I did spend more there and will only deal with these chaps. In Jhb not like this, goodwill like this goes a long way. Well done CWC , I can't. Believe the service.

My friend was a water scientist who was working on the blue drop report. He refused to sign the report as it was false and misleading. He was promptly fired and went overseas to work for Siemens water Usa as leading new products engineering department. He told me you must filter your water in South Africa, its complelty toxi and cancer casing chemicals. Even if you use a small three stage tap filter of a Vitality jug it save your life on the long run, and a must for kids. Why in the world should the water be good, just because its clear he noted. No. He further added that the schools , roads, police and most munciple services are debunked not working and so on so - why would you expect the water to be great! He also gve me tons of info that our water is caput. Filter your water but noted not with RO for a strong of health reasons.

I had the luxury recently of riding both the spec epic pro 2013 it was a month old and straight after that the Rocky Mountain 999. Both not cheep bikes. Rocky about R18 000 les. I suggest you consider both bikes as I like to say don't follow like a lemming, till you tired all.. Read reviews That Rocky was a dream to ride. It felt a bit more racy and agile. But both are really good. You need to be pro to separate them. I noted XTR brakes on Rocky (retrofit) were superb. Good luck.

This will help you. https://www.giant-bicycles.com/backoffice/_upload_au/rider_height_frame_size.pdf

Forgive me, but I used to work in a pawn shop, and when we had clients come in that had drug issues... And need to off load goods fast for drug money the stories went much like this one. So I am sorry if this is indeed fact, but it was a blast from the past when I read this. It had all the traits of drugs, the sincere plead, the horror story , the bazaar products for cash and the despair need for urgent cash... I did not read the full blog but just the opening and a few others, to prompt this reply. If you are truly so both sick I with you well.

Well done to organizers of the 94,7. A great race. I noted yesterday the setting up of stand barriers and sweeping of streets. What a giant ordeal. And I am happy to pay for me entry. Some times you don't pay, you get nothing. This was a brilliant race. Only small concern. Coming into town from top of the wild down and past Ponti, the area be Ellis park is a collision waiting to happen with pedestrians chancing it a giants bikes going 65km or more. But what a great race.

Past his "galant " efforts of placing a bomes in a bar and church, he's committed crimes of fraud, driving drunk, extorshion and bribery. He got pull in the gov to have his case set aside. We all know this. So negating as one blogger noted his heroics. He's just another criminal running down a country that was great, but is now a place for super rich government and poor people getting poorer at the hands of who they vote for. Some call my comments - loser or other , I just call it Africa. We had no Gandhi in the anc , Gandhi was a complet pacifist. To have this criminal fool involved in the police no mater who you support is just simply silly. But silly rules. I am like others very dispondent due to the decay in SA. No future for any educate persons..
