The answer is actually quite easy. MOUNTAIN BIKING RULES. OK.

The wheel is FUBAR.

FUBAR: F%$@ UP BEYOND ALL RECOGNITION. I suppose you could also use FLOCKED. SUCKED would not work though. I suppose Burry could say his wheel is FUBAR.

Thanks Wolverine, BigBen and Dirty Twin. Even at my age I learn something new every day.!!

And NCR ?

Gears are like eyes or testicles. Having more than one is an unnecessary luxury." "The follower of singlespeeding is at one with his bike(The Thug) By the way Thug, I have been meaning to ask you for a long time, whether you actually have experience of only having one eye. I have only been able to see with one eye for 10 months now and I can assure that having two eyes is really NOT A LUXURY. jagwil2009-03-24 12:48:30

Thank you Nancy. I am interested but a lot will depend on the date as I am not yet back on the bike yet after the series ( 7) of operations on my eye. I will keep my one good eye on this thread.

A few questions. 1. Where is Breedt's Neck.? (I am from Pretoria) 2. What sort of distance are you talking about.? 3. Someone mentioned a climb. How difficult and how long.? 4. How technical is the ride.?(MTB or Road.?)(If MTB is there much single track.?) I have been off my bike for some time and can, at the moment, only see with 1 eye so questions 2, 3 & 4 are reasonably important to me.

With apologies to Lance Armstrong. It's not about the WHEEL.

I am my own spellchecker. Well spotted. To err is human to forgive is divine. My mistake.

What about Marin or Gary Fisher. In my view both are better than the Scott and on a par with the Specialized.

GOOD. I hope some of the injuries are of a permanent nature.

Do yourself a favour and get a proper pair of MTB shoes and SPD cleats.

Great news. The only problem, however, is that they will go to court, be charged, apply for bail and in fact be granted bail. They will then be back to ply their trade within about 4 days. This is what happened to the last lot who were arrested (probably the same bunch) There have now been 4 attacks since they were let out on bail.

...... the BEST posting on this thread by far...... much better than the boasting' date=' opinionated and self justifying posts of many!!!!!!!![/quote'] Not boasting, opinionated or self justifying. Just stating facts. I get a bit annoyed when " socially conscious" people try to prescribe to me what I should or should not do.By the way I do not believe I have to justify anything to anyone any more.

I need to lose weight anyway... So do I Schwynn, so do I. The question though is, HOW.

Maybe I will now get some sort of reaction out of Konafan with my next post.

WELL SAID !!wpdeb. My sentiments exactly It is MY money. I have worked BLOODY hard for it and I WILL spend it how I wish. I actually don't give a rats ass what anyone else thinks about the BMW"s in my garage or the expensive bikes I have in my storeroom. Oh and by the way all the bikes and both cars and my home have been piad for in cash. And yes I am up to date with my taxes, have never been involved in price fixing or cheating. I believe that I have ALWAYS been ethical and have never "cheated a bit." So the bottom line is that I will spend MY money exactly how I please and if it pleases me to buy a new MARIN MOUNT VISION 5.9 for R 65000 I will do so and to hell with those who whine that they can't afford it . TOUGH sh*t That is your problem not mine..

It?s a culture?.it?s a passion?.it?s a way of life?.you eat it, you drink it, you talk it, you sleep it?you even wee it.( Dirt*Girl) You omitted to mention that.... you even DREAM ABOUT IT

I agree. Mountain Biking is Fantastic This could be the heading now.

Paddles?? Are you cycling or rowing?
