  1. Why cant i stop looking at this bike!!!!????? im getting funny feelings in my tummy when i look at it.
  2. o and spano where the hell were u going to on your bike? what were u training for 175km? lol
  3. well thanks guys for coming through with this. it does help thanks again. looks like a mellow climb then lol
  4. hey guys. i have a question. would any of you clever people have the route profile of BAINSKLOOF pass. how long it is and gradient of the climb. both ways. thanks
  5. MMmmm not so sure about that though. I have the 6110 Navigator. i use it for my cycling as well. the software i have is called sports tracker and u can download it from http://sportstracker.nokia.com/nts/main/index.do. problem though is that the battery only goes to maybe 5 hours. thats with the N95 and 6110. i would have thought the Garmin would last longer than that

    bike manners

    i laughed when i guy tried to come buy and some one shouted F*&^ off this is my place. I saw a guy total his bike on a pavement because no one would let him move one space up into the bunch. I saw a guy after a fall on wynberg hill try get back on in his 53 18 Last year i saw a guy answer his phone in simons town going down hill and took down 3 people in the process

    bike manners

    it was more a plea than anything else. if south african cycling will be like this then motorist all have reason to driver over us. We cant even be nice and thoughtful to each other.

    bike manners

    none taken. sorry just jumped on and vented.
  9. This must have been the most dangerous ARGUS ever. People had no manners and rode like they will win the race. Looked like some people only races the argus and no other races so their bike skills is equal to a 5 year old ducking weaving all over the place. Look left the bike goes left. I was even told to shut up and F*&* off when i warned people about the pavement and island in the middle of the road. people we need more manners. We are all in it together. treat the next person like u want to be treated.
  10. my question with these things are how long does the battery last before you loose your info
  11. correction u do get a spare tire but it is a biscuit tire. and with the option of the rack will set u back about 6 - 7000. its worth it. hide when u dont use it. and it doesnt take space in your garage
  12. people this thing is great. 2 things u should know about it first. 1 if added u loose your normal size spare wheel for a thin one. 2 the wheels of the bike when mounted dont rest on the bike mount but goes slightly below that. so in short the wheels will be end of your bumper level. scary if u reverse down your drive way

    Only in SA

    dude i feel for her and the husband. thats so pathetic. a dude hopped the pavement with his camper van down where we live, bashed scrapped and knocked 10 cars out the way stopped at the speeding camera and traffic light waited for it to turn green and then bashed the front car out the way. one of those 10 cars was ours. my wife scared out of her wits came home crying and shaking. i told he to relax and we will sort it out. luck would have it driving down to my parents in law what car was in front of us... the freakin camper van. we followed him home whilst callin the police. all the police said was take down the number plate and they will sort it out during the week. LOL like i would have that. we continued to follow this PRAT to his house and we called another police station. after waiting an hour we went to fetch them. we found out the guys was drunk , high as a kite and never had a drivers license. the cops told us to leave they would sort it out. 2 days past and then i found the cops to find out what happened. they had no idea what i was talking about nor did they have the case number. my wife bought them a 2 liter coke the previous day to say thanks for the help and when i mentioned that they also did not know anything about that and put down the phone. NICE. in the cops we trust lol. i trust my dogs more
  14. Or it could be that. lol thanks Peter
  15. i find training more mountains than just flat sections helps my over all watt out put. im a sprinter and hate hills but the more i train on long climbs or even the short power climbs i find that my watt out put on the flats increase. i can sustain longer pulls and harder pace rides. that goes for TT as well.
  16. ah ha!!! now we are gettin some where. and u suppose all those are supported my the LBS
  17. thanks. i realized i would have a problem with the tubes cause i had rolf vigor 38mm rims and those tubs DID NOT WORK in these rims lol *dumb of me even tryin* im used to cross winds bein in CAPE TOWN and all. i bought the 60mm tubs and no rattle. they are 100 grams heavier than my rolf vigors but thats ok they are almost twice the profile. i found this on the net...... " Gigantex makes rims for a lot of people. Novatech is Joytech. Novatech also makes wheels. My team has raced on them all season and they are pretty good. The Novatech wheels have rims from Gigantex, Sapim spokes and Joytech hubs. These wheels look to fall into the same category. Worth considering. " EQUINOX's are mad by GIGANTEX. an ASIAN cycling company
  18. u see now those thingies a didnt get. suppose my LBS can sort those things out for me. How long does the break surface last before u have to replace the rim. cause they have a carbon breaking surface. I take it ZIPPS have the same thing. surface goes then replace the rim?
  19. when they delivered my wheels at my office I spoke to the guy. what else did he have to say about them. u know the sales pitch
  20. the same as zipps hey mmmm ok then. i heard the same and i emailed the goat but also nothing. u would think amongst all his racing he has time to email a few people like ..... ME lol
  21. holly hell 100KG lol bunny hopping here i come. how the hell did u get a reply. i have emailed them twice and nothing. i even tracked down the asian company that makes em and found out that TOKEN imported them and re branded them as TOKEN. But i need to speak to the dude importing them for SA
  22. lol plannin to but need to know all the finer details. like max weight, who replaces rims and hubs and stuff. support support support lol
  23. Hey guys. do any of you know anyting about the EQUINOX carbon wheels. The dude has a banner advertising the brand but never gets back to any one. i bought a set and need to know more about em. where what and how stuff.
