  1. Remind me again, what does this membership do for you?
  2. These situations make my blood boil so now that i have given some thought, here are my questions and suggestion. The usual: where are our cycling representatives ie PPA, CSA and who ever in City Management? Once again they are failing at doing nothing. Lately its seems all the major cycling bodies make money for doing very little. Suggestion: These things take time so start by organising an awareness drive. If possible find one of the cycling bodies to assist (make sure you a paid up member first as that will be the responding query). Park bikes or stand in the cycling lanes at these spots and hand out pamphlets. Make transgressors aware of their mistakes and possible penalties. We need to make alliances with cars and trucks, not enemies. Hand out think bike stickers, free rehydrates, water bottles or any cycling related race pack nonsense that will make them feel part of the awesome clan.
  3. Here are some videos http://www.notubes.com/help/index.aspx look at MTB tire install.
  4. Here are some scenic views from the route..
  5. .
  6. Mr Min funiture polish? Works on normal frames and I assume there is a clear coat on carbon too.
  7. This has me a little bit worried. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/127765-freedom-challenge-2013-route-access-issues/page__hl__freedom%20challenge One of the reasons would refer to do the route with someone who knows where they are going. Is it possible to get a map with all the legal dirt\servitude roads. I would like to start planning...especially accom as this will give me an idea of costs and equipment needed.
  8. I once used the metal piping on the washing line to remove the bearings from an XTR BB. I wish i had cut a piece off or taken measurements. A sharpened spoke is good for removing the plastic covering on bearings to clean and add grease to the bearings. I use a syringe to reverse bleed my shimano brakes. This syringe came with a small plastic pipe which fits perfectly over the bleed nipple. and then of course using 2 old tubes connected\taped to run a chain through to lock up all my bikes. Think chain is 3 mteres.
  9. Anyone keen for something as soon as 12 July 2013?
  10. I would think more like 80 - 100km a day and one day we stay at a particular venue and then do the route reverse back to PMB? What dates you keen for?
  11. Hi Guys, PLEASE PLEASE include me and keep me updated in any of these trips. The sooner the better for me as I have time on my hands now until August.

  13. Signal Hill.
