I still think Colonel is behind all of this.

And if they strip him of his tdf wins that will give Jan Ulrich 6 tdf wins yipeeeeeee

Point is you can make yoursef fit on almost any size bike but if you running a 400mm seatpost a 140mm stem and 6cm of spacers under your stem you on the wrong size bike. Don't care what the experts say. Problem is bikefit is expensive so if there is no change we are pissed because we were ripped off but if there is a huge change/correction we feel it's money well spent.

I can ride my daughters 16 inch bike,just need a longer seatpost.Feels very comfortable .

Whats the point of having a demo/test day when they don't have stock and wont have for the next 3 months?

Was so glad when i checked results yesterday when i saw your name amongst the finishers.Good one Flymango,never doubted that you would make it.Hope you took lotsa pics.Check out the tv coverage and photos on the website,there will be a lot you would have forgotten.Once again congrats. SB

Great saddle,very comfy.Had a Bull on my road bike BUT it cracked underneath across the body after 2 months.CWC were great and replaced it right away.The second one cracked after 3 months same place.It is a weak point in the saddle,you can see how thin the carbon is underneath.After the second time i replaced it with a gobi and once again CWC were great.So bottom line,68kg,on my road bike and never lasted past 3 months for a 2K saddle.

Make a short list of what you want and go do your homework with regard to geometry of the bikes.They are not all the same for instance when i had a Volcan and Niner i rode a S on a Giant and Specialized i ride a M.I'm 174cm.

The simpel pimple has put more people out of the epic than undertraining,mechanical etc all put together.Sorry,if you break the skin on your arse you going home.

As long as you are mentally tough(and South Africans are IMO) finishing Epic is easy.I know a host of overweight,undertrained,underprepared people who finished Epic no problem.Easy peasy.

Sorry if i'm opening a can of worms but i think the difficulty to finish the Epic is highly overated.To do well (top 100) i agree takes lots of training,to just finish i'm sorry,thats a lot easier than people make it out to be.

Don't want to burst your bubble but in the long run i think you will just be wasting your time and be more money out of pocket.Been in a similar situation years ago and took it to SCC.Your problems are: No witnesses so your word against his. He is in Jozi so just trying to track him down so the court can serve him is going to be hard. He also incurred damage and he can also counterclaim(As of 2010 up to R12000) If you are found only partially to blame you will have to pay some of his damages as well. http://smallclaimssa.co.za/ Good luck,hope you are ok.

Agree with you 100% Tarmac,and with my iphone and ant adaptor I can zero,callibrate,set slope as well as do complete diagnostics at home without having to send a crank away to be checked.Very happy with mine.Just installed and setup a set on my mates mtb,class cranks i tell you.

So i did you a favour Fruity and called Concept and while i agree they don't know thier ass from thier elbow a propero 2 sells for R1400 from them.

All agents will ask you for a proof of purchase when dealing with warrenty so you will have problems if bought overseas.

LBS Prepero 2-R1200,S3-R1999,Prevail-R2500.I would phone them again for a qoute because i'm pretty sure they misunderstood which helmet you looking for.

Don't know where you shopping but my LBS sells a propero 2 for R1200 before any discount.

Anyone know Cherise time?

I'm an ultimate weightweenie.I've calculated that only really need one of my kidneys,and i think i can get by with only 6 teeth in my mouth.That should give me a saving of obout 1 lb.Now to find someone willing to remove those items i don't need.

Nope

There is a hill by Tiekiedraai?Never seen that one.

Time for start of long route mtb anyone?

I think morewood is just upset because he sees groups riding together while he rides alone.

I ask again have you spoken to any of these guys since you do a lot of talking on their behalf.I'm sorry morewood but i think your beef is just with everyone.It's still my opinion that parts of the bike lane are unsafe and would still like anyone to give me proof that bikelanes are a safer option and save lives.A lot of things thrown around here are just been sucked out of your thumb.

How do you know the reason why any of these guys do this?Are you good friends with them?Have you spoken to any of them and do you even know them?Lots of accusations from your side morewood.It sounds more to me that your beef is not actually about the bike lanes but more about a bunch of riders you dislike.
