  1. I think next time, stay put in your car, and think about your family. People get shot, believing its a highjack in progress, with something like that.
  2. There might just be a technical issue though. Laser etching likes flat surfaces or mildly rounded. The fact that you are trying to etch on a tube, depending on the size/curvature, could be the problem.
  3. Hi DaddyG. Just be aware that the laser etching on the frame will then be a carbon black colour finish? Was this your intention? It will not be the colour of the sandblasted steel underneath.
  4. Thanks for the info Bobbie. There is a bus arriving in PMB at 06h30, think I better be on that one. We will be dropped off at a hall, where we collect our bikes, and then head off to the start. The bus arriving at 07h00 sounds too late.
  5. or you can buy an existing team, like Fernando Alonso did
  6. Hello Guys. For those of you, who have done this race before .... please help us first timers ..... How long before your official start, do you need to be there ? I see there is only 3 busses going up from Durban to PMB ?
  7. I get the feeling, they don't like us cycling there .... otherwise there are some wild parties every Friday night along the cradle route, with idiots drinking beer and hanging out their cars?
  8. Does that include products/people that were affected from the radioactive spillage of Chernobyl some 30 years ago?
  9. Thanks for your help Tankman
  10. A standard 23/11
  11. The only way this can be fought is to perhaps have a limited doping. e.g everyone is given an equal dose of a preferred substance.
  12. Hello Everyone. I have just changed to a compact chainring setup. I had a 52/39 and now have a 50/34 Is it possible to mix and match chainrings, so I would have a 52/34 in future? What are the considerations to evaluate? I'm doing it to have more downhill speed and greater climbing ability. Does it make sense? Thank you.
  13. You need to eat at Macdonalds for a few weekends before voting
  14. new from Assos ......... ????? Ass ... huuuuullll comes to mind from a little kid in a famous movie
  15. Don't you think the cannabis weed has anything to do with it
  16. Ok, you can help with reputation. I'll help by letting an idiot realise he's an idiot. (i'm talking about being cut off twice by a bunch of laughing morons in a car) Lets see how much they laugh, when they have to explain to daddy, the broken windscreen of the bmw
  17. Nothing like a few 30mm diameter ballbearings in my rear pouch. If people want to be idiots, then i'll be an idiot back.
  18. thanks for your help Scotty
  19. For this loop of approx. 58Km, is there only one route, or can you get lost on it?

    A well organised organiser who has cycling at heart. You did not get useless goodies in the 94,7 or Argus did you?
  21. I've started carbo-loading ....... 1 sixpack a week before meals

    Hello Mr .... The point is not whether we pay for it or not. But what good is it giving to a cyclist who cannot use it for the next race ? Lets rather donate that value to charity then. The organisers should be able to filter out the products to be used. Not merely put them inside because they are free. Just compare what we got here , to the Argus, or the 94,7 goodie bag?

    D2D

    This was my first D2D so cannot comment on the past ones. I found it tough because of the cold weather. I struggled on the last uphills but managed a 3:30 I would like to comment on the goodie bag. I believe this was a waste of money and many peoples time. Is there actually a criterium into what goes into a CYCLISTS goodie bag. I found NONE of the goodies usefull.
  24. Do they hire out Pinarello Dogma's without having to show ID and without initial deposit
