  1. You'll no doubt pick up a few stragglers. Hopefully not me
  2. Yeah, try pass us at DC when we're going full tilt. You may blow a gasket...
  3. No it just looks ridiculous.
  4. Wearing baggies on a road bike is just plain moronic. Life sentence if I were president ;0
  5. I'm not an also-ran. I ride to break myself and others. Pure Savage.
  6. Yip, I'm riding in my Savage bibs and day 1, and full Savage kit on Day 3. Have to respect Bicycling magazine and ride in their colours for the first two days. Oh ja, with a broken hand
  7. My Kashima Fox 29er 100mm CTD did this. Had the CSU replaced 4 times which still didn't solve the issue. Cut my losses and sold it - got a RockShox instead. Bullet proof albeit the ride quality isn't as plush as the Fox
  8. Thanks for pointing that out Dale - fixed
  9. Aye Etnard - I chew those sweets all the time. I'm allowed to ride on the road but the nature of break means I Can't 'Race' it. Did 100km on Sunday with it in this state and 50 today. tender still and gripping the bar is an issue...
  10. I'm out with a broken hand
  11. Science2Sport changed the way I ride. Went from being semi-kind-of-competitive to competitive in a year and have even won a race as a result. First 6months I got my first two podiums. Went through a little plateau as I adjusted to the plan - a lot of going slow to go fast kind of stuff mixed with HIIT. This year has been phenomenal with a win, a second and three podiums in MTB discipline. You need to follow the plan religiously to see the benefits, which to me, means riding even if it's raining, storming or baking outside. Over time you develop a friendship with your coach and the one-on-one type of relationship the S2S coaches give their athletes is what keeps them satisfied and hungry for greater success. Commitment is the clincher here and if you can do this, the rest will follow.
  12. Do you have any XT brake sets in stock and what kind of price?
  13. I think the whole team is A this year
  14. It became an obsession and still is - I ride pretty much 6 days a week.
  15. When I started riding I weighed 85kg. Enjoyed it so much I began to ride more and got more competitive with every ride and race. I'm now 65/66kg from ONLY riding my bike. No gym, no diet.
  16. Ok I'm in. Hoping for $ group and 2:40-odd time - weather permitting
  17. They did tell seeded riders to use their boards in race packs at registration. Was good for a change to have properly fit and skilled riders in the first start group
  18. The 105 11-speed chain is on special for R290
  19. Will the products be available for collection today? Thank you for making the requests a reality
  20. These pedals in black http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/look-keo-2-max-carbon-pedals This chain x2: http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/shimano105-5800-11spd-chain Thanks
  21. Some tough climbs but pretty crappy event. How on Earth was this voted one of the best rides of the year? Markings need to be sorted as I took quite a few wrong turns
