  1. I have a brand new one, PM me.
  2. kruip gat, werk vir meeste sport in SA
  3. I think they must just as well close down all hospitals and stop all medical research, then natural selection can take its corse again and these idiots will be worked out automatically!
  4. A stupid question, do you use a camelbak? because a weak core combined with a ill fitting and overloaded bag can also cause pain?
  5. Keeping a piece of cotton thread that run throught the blister really helps alot, because it prevents the blister from swelling up again and it dries out really quikly. Like above!
  6. I was looking into this aswell, but for R950, Ill rather pay the R400 exstra to take my bike with me on the plane each time.
  7. Will have to postpone this then, my back pocket is kinda thin already!
  8. Where do you guys source the rims and tyres from and how much do they cost approx?
  9. Cut it, if it work, you save. If it does not work, you need a new one anyways.
  10. Een van die ouens hier by Trinity Cycles het vir hom n 650b opgebou, maar met n gewone 26" raam, al wat hy moes doen is net n 2.1 tyre opsit sodat daar genoeg speling is. Hy se dat dit baie beter loop en hy het geen probleme gehad met die setup soos hy dit gehad het nie, ek oorweeg om dieselfde met my 26" duel suspension te doen.
  11. Thats why I said, rather use Mugabe or Malema in its place then, makes it a bit more local.
  12. NO dont blame road racing, I just had this discussion in my office. I asked them, if their kid cycled or played rugby, which one of the sport would more likely get your kid to use some sort of stimulants. My point being that in cycling its mostly at the top and being worked out of the sport, in rugby, if you don't pick up 20 to 30kg before grade 10 in school, no more future, so how do they pick up muscle weight?
  13. OK Ok, use Mugabe or Malema in the nazis place then.
  14. People should stop looking at the Livestrong campaign as something good that this man did. Hitler also gave a lot to his fellow germans, but that was his way to convince them that he was a good person. Look at the scenario. He got cancer while starting a doping scheme, Ferrari, Bruneyl and LA saw the oppertunity. They dope just enough not to test positive, Remember in his own word, I never tested positive, not I never doped. That is a huge deal. They Use the Livestrong camaign to put a halo above his head, he does not have to make a cent from that, because with his doping, he gets bonus's and sponsers. It was all about the money. Full stop! not about cycling, not about cancer! He used Livestrong to get effection from everyone, so that his "good" could overshadow all his bad. People that think that he has done good through Livestrong should open their eyes, because you are the fools.
  15. In the mean time across their border.
  16. Havent seen anything here yet, so here goes. Seems that one of the biggest supporters of cycling is withdrawing, following the lance debacle. Check here: http://www.rabosport.nl/wielrennen/nieuws/4759/Rabobank_stopt_met_sponsoring_professionele_wielerploegen http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/rabobank-to-end-its-sponsorship-of-professional-cycling-teams Sad Sad Day
  17. you shouldnt have removed the screw, The screw should stay inside the NDS crank, as you unscrew it, it extracts the NDS crank. Then you should be able to pull the DS crank out from the bearings without a problem.
  18. Thats why I said, unless you have a bb30 frame, then you can use an asortment of adapters to fit it. But you cannot with the type of pressfit BB Giant uses.
  19. This will not work, sorry to say it. The Giant BB is too wide to accomodate a standard British thread bb. You see with the pressfit BB the bearings for the shimano cranks, that would normally be an outboard screw in cup and bearing, is now pressed into the frame. To do this, Giant had to make the BB width bigger. A standard Threaded BB only fits into a 68mm BB width (If it was BB30, only an adapter would have been needed), but the Giant BB width is around 86mm to 90mm.
  20. The Kloofeind road shown on the map is quite a drag for about 6 or 7 km, and the wind should be from the front. That piece can hurt. First 20km till you get there ares ome nice flat singletrack in the veld. Stuck in the mud has some nice technical parts, no serious climbs. Then Brandkop has techical parts and some climbs, but the part down next to pellissier is mostly down with a few rough spots. The route does gets harder the closer you get to the finish.
  21. Ja, but what really gives me a gatkramp are the people who actually gives them a gap! They are the ones encouraging the assholeness!
  22. I feel exactly the same. Its the same with drivers that almost knock you off your bike. They do not have time to slow down and pass safely, but give them a sign and they will stop, looking like they had all the time in the world for you now. Silly world we live in.
  23. If you have a Campy cassette already, just use it as is. If your mechanic knows what he is doing, there should be no problem. If you do not have a Campy cassette, then just buy the freebody, it will be cheaper that a new Campy cassette.
  24. I just have one remark to drivers that hate cyclists. So Say you have your child of 8, that wants a bicycle for chrismas. Do you buy your child a bicycle? Do you make shure to buy your child a helmet with that aswell? Where do you let your child cycle, only in your yard, on your grass or in your home, I think not. Do you supervise your child on that bicycle, and teach them to stop and get of the road when a vehicle approaches or to keep to the left of the road? Most parrents do not even drive save enough so that your child can ride their bikes to school, because the parrents that do not give a hoot, park in cycle lanes, on sidwalks, turn without looking and the chanses are good that your child on a bicycle will get killed by his friends mom/dad. Now say your child whants to take up cycling as a sport. This child has the potential to become a world champ or an olympic medalist. Where do you let them train? Do you drive behind them to protect them? Doing so, blocking the traffic and causing traffic jams. Do you get on a bicycle and cycle with them, teaching them how to respect road rules? I have seen a lot of instances where vehicles overtake another vehicle with a cyclist coming from the front, pushing that cyclist, that was oncomming traffic off the road. Not respecting his rights one bit. I come from Bloemfontein, that has a lot less traffic than Gauteng, but people there mostly respect road rules. They dont overtake slower vehicles on the left in yellow lanes( something I see every day as I drive to work. Most people start stopping at yellow lights as the traffic light changes, here you will get flashed and hooted at for not using the 3 seconds of red light before the other turns green. Here if you stop dead at a stop street with no traffic, people will drive past you as you pull away. Most people should remember to clean your own yard before critisizing your nabours long grass!
