JA-Q001

No, sorry, not a lack of common sense. Its the ability to see people have double standards for everything, as long as it suits them. Ps. MTBaaisikilist, good luck with the proceedings. Please do not see most of the comments as a personal attack and thanks for having an open head and also giving all the insights from the other side.

best is to show a photo, because with your description and with modern bike headsets, you will have a problem.

See, the problem with the epic is all riders start together and all stand the same chance at the start of the race, to win it. It doesn't matter if you are there to social or to race, if you are a pro or a fun rider, at the start everyone has the same chance. Now, what if all 300 guys in front of him suddenly had mechanical and suddenly he's winning, its not impossible, just improbable. They wont tell him, you are a fun rider, you cannot win and if they do, I can bet you he will fight for his win. Another thing is I don't buy into this fun rider thing, that's only a way of trying to get yourself out from underneath the rules. As soon as you start upgrading a bike, because it "performs" better, then you are getting competitive, as soon as you worry about finishing or where you place, you are competitive. Like I said, its not nice being the one that got caught and in your mind you think its a waste of time, but you have an equal chance of winning, so you have an equal chance of cheating. Saying its a waste to test them is like saying its a waste to disqualify the guy that came 300th, but he took several shortcuts on the route to be able to get there.

But the "costs of testing" or "fine" was not thought out by our country or our law, it was calculated in the governing body's home country. But still, if you go to court in this country and you lose your case or even plead guilty, you are still responsible to pay the accusers legal fee's, same applies here. Its bad that he is in this situation, but still, rules are rules. How many people complain about Taxi's and that they should be held responsible for their actions. You should check your fine print, always.

Hey Fandacious, have you ever won a race?

I think your idea of the spacer inside with the topper is the best. If I'm correct, the outside goes over the seat-post by about 40mm, so you will have enough range to lift it with an off cut piece of seat-post as a spacer. Like you said, get the internal clamp to just insert deeper and all should be fine.

You see, that's just it, his name was probably not on it, so for who was it made out to, there are more guilty people than this one person in this one occurrence, so that 3rd party has to be sorted out as well.

Can you show a pic of the clamp/topper?

But, if its a scedule 5 drug for obesity, where is the doc that prescibed it to a 8% body fat person?

You see, altough Frank tested positive, also for someting minor, his brother has never even been accused. Same with Cadel, never has he even been accused. Wiggens is on also with Sky, why risk it with one and maybe loose all their jobs? Contador has only had that one positive, that they had to go beyond measure to find and did not even get a full suspension. But ja, you probably think Im a racist too, because the history of all white men in South Africa shows that with apartheid, I should be a racist, its in our SA white man blood and history.

well 2007 - Contador 2008 - Carlos Sastre 2009 - Contador 2010 - Contador, but he had bad steak, so no count, givin to baby Schleck 2011 - Cadel Evens 2012 - Bradley Wiggins In all those, only one to test positive was Contador, and many feel that that positive was not even eligable, but still, the last 6 years, only one positive.

So what was the final price it went for?

Actually, the belly is not caused by being fat or overweight. It is caused by the method of breathing, relaxing your abdomens and using you diaphragm and your ribs to suck as much air into your lungs as possible. Remember, their upper bodies are supported by their arms, so no need to use the core as much.

But, would you want to be able to lock up your brakes more easily? Do you want to be able to easily drag your rear wheel or go over your front? Ill say that they would have to increase the performance of road tires a lot before it is really needed to get disk brakes.

The irony is that a lot of people that complain about the fuel price never change their driving style, to try and make it easier on themselves. We cannot control the petrol price ourselves directly, but if most people just drive 10km/h slower (or in Gauteng on the speed limit), they will see a huge difference in monthly fuel spending. But no, most people will only complain and then keep on doing what they always do.

8170:1372951731845.jpg] I have now also reported them to the local police, lets see what happens.

Ok, I got a picture of the vehicle, Ill upload it soon, reg number is FJJ513NW, a Gold/brown/Champagne coloured toyota Tazz, with 3 mid 20s occupants.

So why did you not just use the limit screws?actually, just the one for the bottom limit?

Sorry, missed the first pic. Thanks a lot

Just a quick request, can anyone maybe show me how the pods are punctured, ie an used pod?

Ja, the problem is they get me at the foot of a hill, but on thursday I will leave 5 min early, so that they have to pass me near the top, if they do, I will be able to get them at the bottom, I will take a pick of their vehicle and regestration and post it here. I will also report it to the local police, as soon as I have their regestartion.

It just angers m that these peopholle can do this with no fear of prosecution and if I take things into my own hands, I will be the protagonist. How does one counter that mentallity that they have?

My main problem is that there is no other route and if I kick a dent in their door they will prbably drive over me the next time. Maybe I should wait for them with my car and follow them, get their addres and so trace them. Haha, maybe subscribe them to a bit of junkmail.

So, on my daily commute home today, I became part of the new sport in SA. Seems like it is becoming the "in" thing to throw cyclists with objects from a moving vehicle. Yesterday the same 3 guys came past and threw a soft something at me, but missing. Today again they trew me with something, this time heavier and hitting me in the ribs. I was furious. Next time it may be a brick? Now, how would you react to this and what action would you take. I know that I will get them on that same route again.
