looked like one helluva ride, plus you guys had the heat to deal with as well. anyone got the total ascent for this ride?

I'm gutted, don't know what to say. Met him a few times, always had time for a photo or autograph, what a nice guy. Us cyclists need to do something, something big. Government and law enforcement need to catch a wake up call. Let's demand they get on a bike and try riding through CPT or JHB cbd during peak traffic. Let's demand they start commuting on a regular basis as an example to the masses. No more promises or talking, we want action

very sad indeed

Could be any of the following - bb needs a service - bb cups not tightened correctly - pivot points need a clean, lube and correct torque - check your seat post maybe a touch of correct lube where it goes into the frame - check your pedals

I've been riding Tokai at least once a week for the past 4 yrs now come rain or shine, sometimes I wear spandex, mostly baggies though. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. Cant get enough. Yes there are some sour guys on the trails, just ignore them and greet everyone with a smile.

Forgot to mention, the road bikes are not fancy at all, just something slightly above entry level

My situation is almost identical to yours, ride 11.5 months of the year on my 12.5kg mtb. Only road race I ever do is the Argus for which I manage to borrow a road bike a few days before the race and get an average speed improvement of at least 3km/h

oh my word, i think i just found my dream holiday

real bad news boet will keep a look out maybe now's a good time to replace old faithful with the ZULA u always wanted?!

Took your advice SV - went to the physio yesterday I had an unusually delayed and extended period of pain but doesnt seem like there is any major damage thankfully Seems like a case of bad habits of not warming up and stretching properly pre and post ride Had laser + ultrasound treatment + massage, went for light spin late yesterday afternoon and this morning and really positive now about recovery

pain in both legs at first for the last two days only in my left leg

Been suffering since last week Wednesday with this pain, was at its worst on Thurs and Fri and has subsided somewhat since but still not gone completely. My training has been great up until last weekend when I did two hard rides with lots of climbing and haven't ridden since. I felt great after the rides and for 2 days after but by Wednesday the pains started. The pain lasts for a couple of hrs at a time then goes away for few hrs and without warning comes back again, even when I'm sleeping Was all excited and eager to get back on the bike yesterday (Sunday) and barely 2 minutes into the ride the pain came back and battled to do 5kms before turning back home. Today (Monday) not much pain, muscles just feeling a bit bruised, but I'm stressing because I'm losing valuable training time and want to try to get back on the bike tomorrow. I found this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_onset_muscle_soreness - don't know if its the same condition that I have, the differences being that my pains are not dull but rather acute and occurs even when I am at rest and only started three days after intense exercise. I've suffered from this before but never this painful, and I would usually just go for an easy ride and the pain would go away. Tried stretching also but its not helping. I started taking a Calcium and Magnesium supplement 2 days ago but not sure if this is the solution. I don't like going to Dr... can someone please help

"Is it the batched that was sold in Cape Town? Maybe grey imports?" - Please elaborate... I have a set of crossmarks and think they're fantastic, only issue i'm having is that they dont run straight

what about the styrofoam bits if the primer and or paint goes onto it?

There's plenty of us muslim mtbers in the cape Must check out sunday mornings at Tokai, the novices with their t-shirts and takkies stick out like a sore thumb but full marks for trying

Thanks for all the advice everyone and thanks to Crown Cycles I found a good 2nd hand unit and now i'm back on the bike again btw I got a quote for a new one: R2950!

I can have this welded by a reputable firm, just not sure if it will break again. Has anyone tried this already and has it lasted? Also looking for a replacement, anyone with rear triangle spares let me know please. (I have the Genius RC, but think the MC has the same rear end)

i'd be interested in 2

Just to make it clear for those who dont know: Physically, fasting requires believers to abstain from consuming any foodstuffs (including water and other liquids) as well as sexual intercourse during daylight hours from sunrise to sunset for the period of one lunar month, known on the Islamic calendar as Ramadaan. There are also spiritual requirements such as increasing good deeds and giving charity. Some of the aims of fasting are: - To teach self discipline - To foster compassion for those less fortunate who suffer daily without food or drink Hope this helps towards a better understanding

best wishes for those hubbers fasting in the month of ramadaan ramadaan kareem
