Exactly my point Spinnekop. Geen rede om die motoris nog meer pissed off te maak nie. Hy moet al klaar wag vir junior om reguit te ry, nou moet hy nog vaskyk in die arrogante snuiter se middelvinger ook. As daar niks plek is om pad te gee vir 'n trok/kar whatever, dan is die hootende motoris moedswillig. End of story, jy wen OK. Dis heeltemal anders as iemand wat 'n erratic lyn volg en enige oomblik in motoriste te pad bly inswaai. Enough said.

No it is not rude to use your hooter to warn other road users. I use the roads too see. With car, motorbike and bicycle. Funny how motorists never piss me off with their hooters. I appreciate it much more than being run off the road with no warning. Maybe that's why I'm never being being run off the road in the first place

Also, try to tighten the bolt first - anything to just get it moving. If you have an engineering shop drill it out, tell them to tap a new thread for you, and use an oversized bolt, as they usually drill the thread away.

Nog 'n Suid Afrikaanse padgebruiker wat sy learners moes gefail het. Jy mag NIE jou toeter gebruik om vriende te groet, voornemende Taxi gebruikers nader te roep, ander padgebruikes af te pis ens nie. Jy MOET dit wel gebruik om 'n moontlike ongeluk te voorkom, deur ander padgebruikers te waarsku dat jy in hulle rigting op pad as, veral wanneer dit voorkom of hulle onbewus is van jou. 'n Motorvoertuig sonder 'n werkende toeter is onpadwaardig.

Spinnekop, ek is nie eens lus om jou hele email te lees nie, so hou sommer nou op lees as jy nie interrested is nie hoor. Baie motoriste hoot om cylists te waarsku, nie om hulle af te pis nie hoor. As enigiemand, piss-ant junior cyclist included, vir my die vinger wys, kook my bloed instantly. Ek persoonlik haal dit gelukkig nie op alle cyclists uit nie want ek weet van beter, maar ander motoriste mag dalk nie so selektief wees nie. Just a thought...

So why are you using slime and liners? I use liners only. If I put slime in, should I not be able to get rid of the liners?

Ja F1 engines idle hier by die 6000 rond, as ek dit nie mis het nie...

haha...and what might yours be??? way to much to mention 68 CvanC jok soos 'n tannetrekker. Jy moet jou resting HR toets wanneer jy opstaan in die oggend voor jy te exited raak oor iets jou NAR. PS: Chris, dit beteken onder andere - jy kannie vir Nellie vra om dit te meet nie

Titus, like I said "Hypothetical". I'm happy with my 12/23 but would have liked to have 11/23 in stead. My big ring is only 52 and SmallRebel tends to make me suffer on the flats to keep up I've given my old roadbike to my sister and was concerned that the 11/24 would be too heavy for her with the 52/42 crankset. I wanted to swop the 11 for a 28 but the guy at the shop said "no can do". Turns out my sister is ok with the 24 so that is sorted for now...

Buy a roadbike.

tooHot, if you read this, it means you are NOT elite

since this has become a debate about whether SA pro cyclists are nice or not and why, may I please for the sake of this thread... According to the UCT Sport Science Institute: An Elite (male) Cyclist is someone who has the following attributes * Normal body fat% range for elite male athletes (pre-competition): 8 ? 12% * Peak power output for elite cyclists ranges from 400 ? 550 W<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> * Power to weight ratio for elite cyclists ranges from 5.5 ? 7 W/kg * VO2max for elite cyclists ~ 68 ? 85 ml/kg/min Just a thought...

Hey WingNut! Why do you even use your rear brake? Was your front brake-cable broken or what? I never use my rear brake on my roadbike, unless if I'm standing on the front brake and still need more brake power...

If I may - sal iemand asb die thread se naam verander? Maak nie saak hoe min jy vir Maas like nie, dis nie sy skuld daai fietsryer is raakgery nie. Yellow lane driving is amper net so gewild soos dronk bestuur, of bestuur terwyl jy op jou selfoon is, in SA. Maas se artikel het niks hier uit te waai nie

Oww!

Isn't it illegal to drive in the yellow?

Token, I doubt that you would have had mtb shoes before, but when I upgraded from mtb shoes&cleats to roadie shoes with LOOK pedals, I had to lift my seat by almost 2cm to compensate for the much higher cleat and the difference in the pedal. I do recommend the upgrade though. It makes a big difference IMHO

Dis waarom ek die "TITS" abbreviation verkies. Time in the saddle - Niemand het enigiets van slow ges? nie.

Hoe kan jy nou so s?? Ek is gere?ld in die gym en ek is defnitef nie 'n bunch of miserable uptight people nie. Skaam jou om my so in die gesig te vat!

Grapkas are you faster on your bike now that you have recovered from that episode? I guarantee you, you are not. And I doubt you'll do that $h1t again Use a cycle to train for cycling. Cross training is training for Iron Man type events. Chris, if you are bored with cycling, maybe you should take up another sport. My 2c

Popeye waar kom jy aan al die k*k wat jy praat?

I read it. Dankie Johan - good post
