LlewellynFourie , do you really want to be playing around with a safety critical item as your brakes ? Take it in and have them looked at by an expert in a bike shop.

Doing it for first time. I looked at the race profile on the website, and the end looks ..... TERRIBLE

Hello All. I wrote to the organizer, and got the results in an excel spreadsheet. The email was sent to me the same day in asking. wimpie.vanniekerk@arcelormittal.com which was the same contact on the event website

I would love to try this route out. I love uphills, and have a compact setup, not as compact as yours though. Only available on the weekends though as i'm still slaving away during the day

I'm doing a milestone 1st

Well done for the post XCnewbie , we were all newbies , keep it up, and hope you get well soon. To the 2 Florence Nightingales - Excellent work

I I know the bouncer at the door , i'm in already

Ok, very entertaining people, but seriously, how does this benefit you physically ? I doubt its banned, because you can make drugs with it.

anybody know why Vicks is banned ? Cant see it being like spinach to popeye

A good sports doctor will recommend you start using Shimano

This is the best espresso machine , don't waste your money on anything else

Hi Nige. Stop boasting. How did they identify you? Do you have numberplates on your bicycle?

The guys that ride the TDF with bunnyhops whatever etc. , do not pay for their own bicycles

I hate to bring bad news for you, but Ulrich's performance was not due to hard work. He was caught out for doping.

I agree, you need to go with someone else, or in a group. You need company to climb one of the hills near leeukop

Thanks guys, i'm not too familiar with Strava yet, but i'll put those places in the gps and will enjoy. I'm quite close to sylvia pass, so i'll try that first.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm really getting excited now. So i'll warm up properly for the first km's hills. This is my first, so i'll just enjoy the experience and scenery

:clap: You guys are super. Placed an order in CPT , 2 days later , receive in JHB as promised :clap: Very efficient service - you guys rock

Hi Everyone. I'm a roadie and looking for some decent uphills in and around JHB. Is there anything like "suikerbossie" around here ? Thanks

Letting down the tyres of the MTB'rs should make it about fair

Hello People. I hope to do the Amashova race for the first time. Please share your thoughts and experiences. Is it as enjoyable as the Argus and the 94,7 ? Thanks

Good one Jaco. This is a great simile. Its just polite to at least share some work, seeing as you're both enjoying the ride, and that's what its all about.

Thank you for helping us newbies with your answer ...

I was going to agree with what you said until you ragged shimano again

Hello Juddy. Firstly its your money, and how you spend it, you must be happy with. Having said that, some of these posts are really humourous. Cycling is about specific power or power to weight ratio. Lets say you produce 300W of (average) power (example average rider) power 300 W and riding weight 101.5 Kg = 2.95 W/Kg (the higher the number, the better) you want to save 500gm ? power 300 W and riding weight 101 Kg = 2.97 W/Kg the higher the number, the better less than 1% improvement My suggestion, lose 10 Kg .... power 300 W and riding weight 91.5 Kg = 3.27 W/Kg the higher the number, the better this is 11% improvement.
