Jeepdude Bertus

mavic aksiums are a worthy upgrade for heftier rider looking for lighter than 32h wheels... BUT for 25 k DUDE you can build serious RIG!! especially if you are going to build over months...

i found it i just walked outside it's still there

i have had some MAJOR 64bit windows 7 FRUSTRATIONS.... feeling your pain bro

it generally accepted that TT rigs are heavier with all the wheels and wider frames.... but some bikes like THE black pearl and the canondale slice are coming in below 8kg. that is less than MOST average road bikes. BUT comes with a HEAVY price tag!!!

heart ripping scary news. RIP

bwahahahahaha might have a lot of either tired or skips in their steps elderly inhabitants of retirement villages..

i know the banking system was down on friday..... all over RSA If your GPS has been playing up, your internet a bit patchy and telecommunications scratchy, don't panic Solar flares can wipe out communications, power grids, affect short wave communication and alter the orbit of satellites. Heightened solar activity brings with it risks for military and airline communication, GPS signals and cell phones. And don't phone the company that's providing the service because there is probably very little they can do about it. The truth is planet Earth has been battered by what experts call a solar coronal mass ejection - a solar flare. You may have noticed crackly and scratchy phone lines, and cellular outages last week and yesterday. Simply described, solar flares are bursts of magnetic energy released as radiation from the sun. Space weather forecaster Kobus Olckers from the Space Weather Warning Centre at the Hermanus Magnetic Observatory said the first flare was so fast, it was called a plasma bullet. It raced to earth at a speed of 1400 kilometres a second. The solar flare that left the sun on Valentine's Day and reached earth on Thursday travelled at a more sedate 600 kilometres a second. "It's like a huge magnet racing towards the earth," said Olckers. According to the Christian Science Monitor the solar flare which left the sun on Valentine's Day, and its attendant torrent of solar wind - the biggest of its kind in four years - glanced off of the Earth's North Pole, warping the electric currents in our upper atmosphere and blacking out shortwave radio transmissions in southern China. Olckers said solar flares affected every part of the earth in different ways. Predicting how these flares affect the planet is problematic, but Olckers says that because of the increased technology man uses, we have become more susceptible to the effects of solar flares. "People don't realise how dependent we are on satellites." So how would your GPS be affected. Again simply explained, the signals beamed up from your device become slightly warped, so that the signal sent back to you may place your car a few blocks from where you are actually located. Powerlines, the internet and anything that carries some form of electrical current are susceptible to the effects of solar flares. And this latest series of solar flares is by no means the biggest to hit earth. In 1989 the electric grid in Canada's Quebec province was put out of action while another solar flare was blamed for the computer crashes that brought trading on Toronto's stock exchange to a grinding halt. The strongest solar flare known to have hit this planet occurred in September 1859. It was by all accounts the biggest disruption of the earth's magnetic field. Telegraph systems all over Europe and North America failed. In some instances telegraph operators were shocked. The New York Times reported on September 3, 1859 that there was so much electromagnetic current in the atmosphere that two telegraph operators disconnected their batteries and sent messages drawing from the current in the atmosphere. They were 180 kilometres apart in Boston and Portland in the state of Maine. But while there has been talk of what the effect might be on communications, one of the most dramatic effects that many in the Northern Hemisphere have been looking forward to is a brightening of the aurora borealis, the famous northern lights that are normally only seen in the sky over Arctic regions. The Washington Post newspaper reported that residents in the United States' capital city could possibly have an opportunity of seeing the phenomenon if they went out into nearby rural areas away from city lights. In fact in 1859 the aurora borealis could be seen as far south in the Caribbean Sea city of Havana in Cuba. What should South Africans be concerned about? According to Olckers it would be a wise move to stay out of the sun over the next few days as radiation is at higher levels than normal. And in the meantime be patient with either your GPS and internet. Other than that there is no reason to panic. Kind regards Michael Smit SAVANNAH Email: Michael.Smit@savannah.co.za

howdy...... my garmin heart rate has been playing up too. i have washed the strap(fabric) helped a bit... replace the battery then i got this e-mail If your GPS has been playing up, your internet a bit patchy and telecommunications scratchy, don't panic Solar flares can wipe out communications, power grids, affect short wave communication and alter the orbit of satellites.

hmmmmmmm a machine to make you dream you are Crowie flying down the Queen K always been a favourite of mine

on a lighter note HOW was that okes SERIOUS skills on the posfiets at the closing of the program

too funny .... real spot on there

hmmmmmm have not weighed mine yet... it can loose weight... uberhund TT bars hmmm tour edition sram red cranks...just added TIME rxs pedals

RESPECT that is like riding in the drops for 180km.... WOW.. this is our heritage i agrees...Mark allen and Dave posted times still considered world class on round tubed steel bikes

dependant on various factors... Rand/dollar/euro... and if customer like you ask retailer to match CRC price... some guys will take the loss .. some money better than no maney if you have the stock hey? example of dollar/rand..in 2009 i ordered Tiagra sti's without asking price..(i mean how much can it be) had to pay R2079 vat inclusive COST!!! 6 months later 105's 10 speed where less than that..

NICE would be an understatement...... 7.4? wow

AND a green MONSTER sticker...

i am not trying to give a conflicting answer here rather clarity as to prices in LBS's when still in the trade i often thought.... HELL why am i paying X price for shimano this and that from coolheat when i can Jenson...CRC...Evans...etc to me cheaper and give customers slightly better price?

i'll tread out on the water.....here.. the guys getting ripped off here are the retailers as well as end consumer. i was in the bike trade and have let that go.... cost prices in RSA on bike goodies are ridicolous. the prices you guys see on CRC are MOST of the time less than the cost price retailers(bike shops ) have to pay to land it in their store from local suppliers. Prime Example the sigma heart rate monitors cwc sell are cheaper than what retailers are paying for them cost. obviously cwc are sourcing them direct. and he is selling direct to public thus no middle man there. bike shops then have to pay the transport (which in south africa is not cheap) frequently on small orders which add to prices , they have to add a mark up to make a margin and pay rent and salaries if they have staff. it is NOT easy to be a bike shop in RSA. SOOOOOOO ... i say... support local bike shops where you can especially with things like frames and bikes. BUT buy from whoever has the best price to your hearts content... this is the digital global age... why NOT?

yep you are paying for all the wheels that zipp give to fabian cancellara and the like.....that make you want to buy them cause you'll be faster

i am sure that collin has done his homework thoroughly before he chose to sell these wheels. he has always ridden the best gear and has ridden various top end wheels. that said it is a business he has started to offer custom goodies on a good budget..

i have ridden tokens and planet x and currently zipp clinchers and blackspade tubbies. i have the tri combo 60 front and 88 rear. i am VERY happy and they are stiff responsive and fast

About Ergomo USA Thank you for considering doing business with us. Ergomo USA is a solely owned subsidiary of JDS Sportcoaching, LLC. We have several years of experience working with Ergomo power meters and supporting the customers who use them. We are athletes and coaches as well as technicians and entrepreneurs. Ergomo manufacturing is under new ownership and is actively being manufactured and supported as an improved 2010 model. We have been doing business with Ergomo® in Germany for over a year and are ready to launch an international re-introduction of the Ergomo Pro power meter. A 2011 system with a BB 30 configuration and a new CPU are being designed and manufactured. New software has been developed, including a Windows 7 compatible version of the ergoRacer software and optional third-party downloadable training programs. We started by offering repairs and battery replacements for Ergomo CPU's. We then added wiring replacement and diagnostics of the Ergomo bottom bracket sensor. We have since replaced batteries in almost 200 Ergomo CPU's and ALL the old batteries have been sent to a recycling center in the process. In the spring of 2009, we discovered that the original inventor of Ergomo, Siegfried Gerlitzki, had re-obtained the patent for the Ergomo BB sensor and was working on improving it. We've partnered with Siegfried since, and we're pleased to be able to offer new Ergomo bb sensors, CPU's and complete systems in the United States and elsewhere around the globe. We appreciate all Ergomo owners loyalty and feedback as we re-launch new products and our new customer service center. We have hired and are training a software technician to handle software support and our head technician will be partnering with Ergomo-DE to add features (esp USB dowloads) to the new CPU. Finally, Ergomo USA is looking for a few good shops. Improper installation of the bb sensor often led to failure that was blamed on the unit's construction. We will be slowly adding shops to the Ergomo Dealer Network and working with their trained mechanics to install Ergomo systems reliably, every time. So, if you've got a shop that performs outstanding service, we want to know about it. Thank you! Jonathan Siegel President, Ergomo USA 720-515-ERGOMO
