You might find it's something as ultra-simple as dirt in the cable guides under the BB and a good wash / lube will have it running smoothly. If it were cable slack you'd be able to see that immediately. Taking off the cables/re-routing them and playing with your derailleur settings is great if you know what you are doing. Otherwise, take it to your LBS, a mechanic there could probably get it right in minutes and not charge you the earth.

Depends where you are. Cycles Direct in Table View Cape Town sell them 021 554 2128 - ask for Gary or Michael. Nice pedals speedplay, light, strong and have good clearance. It's all down to personal taste tho. I rode shimanos before them but wouldnt go back now...

Was he polishing his helmet?

Stop moaning you pussies. Jeez. It's a 2 week delay. Read the rules, they can change the competition T's & C's any time they feel like it! Enjoy the suspense a little more COMPETITION TERMS

NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!!

If you want to consider ratios for training times, you could estimate your race finish time(s) and apply your weekly training ratios/hours accordingly so, let's say you're doing full IM: 1h30min swim / 5h30m bike / 4h30min run = 11h30m 13% : 48% : 39% = 100% 2hr swim / 6hr bike / 5hr run = 13hrs 15% : 46% : 38% = 100% Of course, it also depends on how strong/natural you are at each discipline. I swim like a brick so tried to put a bit more emphasis into swimming but just ended up becoming really good at swimming with a crap style rather than getting a good stroke coach and spending less but quality time in the water... Good luck with your goals.

I almost bid at R45k but as I won the Pina auction I thought it was unfair. Oh and I've no money left, the wife would have left me and I'd have been sleeping on the streets... The guy or girl has got a huge bargain there...

Just a warning to those who may be tempted by these very tempting offers. You will be scammed. Don't do it. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

Try these. They're wicked! THE_SUFFERFEST

Good Advice we could all use. Cycling Safety

Is this for real??? 4 i heads up display

Spot on Mr. Fish - I downloaded the sufferfest. 1.7gig later (and a slightly p!ssed off IT manager) I had saved it to my ipad as well as burned to a DVD & I now have 60 minutes of great music & cycling vids to watch whilst I cane my ass.... Well worth the R70!

If you're in cape town try cycles direct 021 554 2128

If posted before my apologies. if not - WTF is this??? QUOTE We recently ran a news item that discussed how the revolutionary new Stringbike replaces the traditional chain with a driving rope made of a special high density polyethylene (HDPE) product, known under its commercial name, Dyneema. Here is a demonstration of that bike in action. UNQUOTE Click on the link to see the video animation...

A 28??? And you reckon I'm coming out of the closet....mmwaaaaa A compact with a real man's cassette is an excellent choice. No self respecting man would be seen dead with a 28...
