  1. This usually happens when the pedal is installed with the thread not lining up properly (cross threaded), and a bit of force is used.......
  2. Yes I gues so. Looking forward to getting my seeding tomorrow. Really hoping for a early start. Last year was my first so started in G group. Did it in 5:04 so hoping for D or E group.
  3. C'mon you can't get a accurate weather forecast for tomorrow. Looking forward to a great race.
  4. I wanted one for my Flash before I gave it to my son, but at R4000.00 it was just way too expensive. I do believe they work very well though.
  5. You got to realize the weather is crap around most of SA so the guys have got to take their frustrations out somewhere. But seriously you will not find a stiffer and smoother fork than the Lefty. More maintenance definitely, but worth it.
  6. I was in an accident in 2007 where a car coming from the opposite direction turned in front of me. It was one hell of a fight with the drivers insurance company but I finally was paid. But unfortunately I agree with Falco and you do seem to be at fault. Be thankfull if you can get away without having to pay for damages to the car.
  7. This should sort it out. You can't push the pistons all the way in unless you remove the pads first.
  8. Sent you a PM. This Zula is for sale. It is a medium but the Zula frame is very compact and suits smaller riders. Perhaps someone else can comment on this? Cheers Peter
  9. MMMMMMMMMMMM looks to me like you already have a front light?
  10. Have a look at www.bikejames.com. There are some kettlebell exercises that are very good for strengthening your core.
  11. I've put them in a bit of methylated spirits before and set it alight and let it burn for about 15 - 20 seconds. This will burn off any contaminant. Has worked for me.
  12. Go for the Lobo, a bit more space for bombs, energy bars, spare tubes, e.t.c.
  13. Nice looking bike but old technology. I doubt that you would get more than R2500.00 for it.
  14. The way it is raining in the kouga area now, you guys might just have an interesting ride.
  15. Hang the road bike up for a couple of months and see if you miss it. If not, sell it. I only ride mountain bike and love it.
  16. From the UCI website :- And don’t let the idea of facing the daunting rock gardens and the highly technical sections put you off. Lenferna adds that there will be some remarkable differences between the Elite and Masters Championship tracks: “The courses in both the XCO and DHI will not be as scary as in the Elite event. The highly technical sections will be left out for the Masters races.”
  17. You have to ride the Harkerville Red route. Really awesome trail. I try do it at least once a year.
  18. So this is Neverending Story. It is so cool. My son and I discovered this sweet piece of singletrack in June, when we were down in Cape Town on holiday. Did it twice, lekker climb to the top.
  19. I'm experiencing the exact same problem. It's like I have no strength in my right hand and I can feel the problem is in my elbow. I can't afford to rest right now though, training for the K2C!
  20. 92km is too far for a 13 year old. Rather let him do the shorter distance and try for a top 20 finish.
  21. I was run over by a motorist in 2007. My helmet was smashed. I do not want to know what my head would have looked like without it. I actually think it saved my life. And I almost never wore it for that ride as I was just going for a short +- 8km training ride.
  22. Well done Daryl. I think today should be declared a public holiday.
  23. At Jonkershoek on Thursday. Taken with a HTC Wildfire.
  24. Always had great service from CRC. Only once received the incorrct item, ordered a Truvativ Stylo crank and received a Truvativ Noir Carbon crank. I didn't complain much though.
  25. Sounds like the "wheelbuilder" who fixed the wheel dished it slightly, like a back wheel. Take it back and let them correct it.
