  1. Holiday season...people get busy and lose their way diet wise, im busy banting again now....not for weight loss but seriously helps with sinus & hayfever problems....many skeptics out there and i believe if you racing then its not the diet for you but cant keep loading my body with all these hayfever pills every day....wheat is my problem, cut out bread for three days and i can stop using hayfever tabs...good luck
  2. Carbon saddles from Aliexpress, anyone tried them??? and carbon seatpost clamps???anywhere i can find carbon seatpost clamps in SA?
  3. How is that even possible, are the suppliers shafting the shops or are the shops shafting us?
  4. http://fcdn.mtbr.com/attachments/29er-bikes/1103668d1478296005t-chinese-carbon-29er-mb01-8.jpg This frame was mentioned earlier in the thread...saw this on Mtbr forums, looks good.
  5. This guy knows what his talking about....and covers almost every topic ever questioned about carbon. worth watching
  6. By that statement of "rarity".....Spaz,Scott and Cannondale should be dirt cheap as they are everywhere. Not hating the brands at all, just curious as to how a frame can cost so much, how can a bicycle cost more than a small car?!?
  7. curious about this though!!!
  8. Im a huge CANYON fan, i already own their previous hardtail and want to replace the frame now but for the same price of frames(SPAZ, BMC, SCOTT) i can buy a full suspension carbon canyon bike.....its crazy. I keep getting quotes for other brands and just cant justify buying a frame for the same price as a new bike.......
  9. I think someone from the bike industry(Trek, Spaz, Cannodale, BMC) should come explain the cost of bikes, every component is mass produced except the frame, companies buy components in bulk and yet the bicycles cost more than many cars....? just curious
  10. Love this bike...but R70 000 is a lot for a little bit of suspension.
  11. I like it, price is right.....some of the big brands pushing ridiculous prices so this is very appealing.
  12. Need to replace my back tire, was thinking of the onza canis but from reading all the comments here im a bit skeptical, are people having sidewall cuts from the 120tpi or 60tpi tires????? Continental tires getting too expensive!
  13. Smaller stores changed their whole store setup to accommodate spez, spez should have been supporting those stores more to stock all sizes and colours as you say...but instead they build a giant store to compete against you and forget the sacrifices you made to set them up in the area!
  14. Heard pretty good reviews from wurths lube
  15. Awesome brand, awesome service....we should all be supportIng SWIFT, keep it local!
  16. What motivates someone to give such a rubbish comment, if you dont agree with it just keep quiet or at least give constructive criticism....whether you believe it or not this diet has helped so many people and its made such an impact that many tour de france cyclists are using ketones instead of glucose as fuel sources...even iron-man athletes are using this methodology so maybe you are the idiot.
  17. the link is just a idea or how to use mct's...hope this helps.
  18. Been banting for 3 months, as mentioned there was a drop in performance in the first month but im back to normal performance again without complete body exhaustion after every ride, weight has dropped, lost fat and increased lean muscle. those weekend binges can help in the race but take approximately 3 days to work off so back to square one....one step forward two steps back. The mct oil is a better fuel source than glucose...its expensive(although cheaper than gels) but its an immediate energy source which is what many people are missing in their LCHF diets...if you not going for podium finishes then whats the point of pushing till bonking...start a little slower...all the glucose fueled junkies will start showing fatigue midway through the race and thats when you pass them by. your performance will get better...give your body time to adapt....its worth the end result. good luck
  19. Go to the plastic shop, buy 2 or 3 small bottles, fill it with half cream and half mct oil...after 5 weeks you should be pretty well fat adapted, the mct oil will be instant energy and the cream will kick in a bit later. if you are to use carbs, just use it during the race...dont carb load.
  20. maybe some cheaper suggestions for poor people like me, looking for those coffee bean vacuumed holder things...french press will do the job.
