  1. Spruit is awesome. Everywhere near natural water in Gauteng stinks ,van Gaalen,big red barn all of them. It's a pity really. But I neveR seen free beer before that I would have jumped on.
  2. I think you already have everything you need. 29er soft tail is perfect. Don't think you need and changes there mate.
  3. I'm with tankman, I have avids and they are utter shite.bleed them,they feel great for 1 ride then rubbish again. Can't wait to fit Deore shimano.
  4. Fun to see cyclists moaning about other people using the road badly. Ironic really
  5. Also tried smoove. Found its lubes well but agree that the build up is crap. Also it pours out the bottle too easily and messes everywhere. I prefer Squirt as you have to squeeze slightly before it comes out, and that stops it pouring all over. Keen to try this blue extreme stuff peeps be talking about.
  6. I would buy a Chinese frame.cos if u looking for a brand that hasn't been ridden by someone in a massive scandal, it's your only option. Agree with pusher, get over it.
  7. I'm not a roadie but saw these guys in the cradle a week ago. Cool product, but u gonna struggle to convince the weight conscious to add 80grams to their bikes. Some people pay good money to drop 80grams these days.
  8. Agree.the range is useless unless another user is within 150ft of ur bike. Am looking into some options regarding internal tracking viability. Hope to find an answer
  9. There are some incredible junior downhill bikes avaliable,think I saw on the hub a while back.if I can find the thread I will post. Hope you come right.
  10. Why buy food for a lazy idiot who can't even do his job. The booms should not even be there in the first place. Phone the boss, he will see loss of profit on the way and sort that moron out. So tired of people in SA being lazy and useless and we must feel the need to bribe them to get them to do their job.no way
  11. Trying to teach cyclists etiquette is a wasted fight, all of us are knobs who ride to fast, or slow guys who block up trails or roadies all over the road when there is a massive cycling lane in the cradle. There is no etiquette,just the fact that everyone thinks the way they ride is correct,regardless of how they ride.
  12. Phentermene is the active ingredient in duromine. A scheduled appetite suppressant , they wasting their time nailing veterans for this. They should spend more time checking Darryl impeys teammates.
  13. You can't tell me the team managers and team mates don't know about it or aren't doing it themselves. So I think it's fair to punish the whole team. But I think we will be shocked when in 5 years there are no teams left that are allowed to compete.
  14. I can't believe the I don't know how it got there. Bull S***. That has been the go too answer for every busted cyclist in the last 20 years. What will it take for cyclists to grow up and realize their "beautiful" sport is so far from drug free it's scary. Benefit of the doubt,u say? Nope, in a professional world that does not exist. Even if he took it for legit reasons he is required to get a TUE.which he doesn't have and therefore is in poop. I say let them dope openly, they will be faster ,stronger,harder and much more fun to watch.
  15. IMO , sorry for you. U are a pro and have a whole team and doctors dedicated to making sure an innocent rider doesn't contaminate himself. Anyone who thinks this began and ended with lance is a moron. Many many more to come. It is the sport of cycling unfortunately, and at a pro level doping is not optional it's mandatory.
  16. I think a world wide ban on running should solve the problem. Its no fun and it wears out really nice shoes , very quickly. It makes full grown men wear really tiny ,brightly colored shorts,which is not ok! No running allowed = no runners.problem solved:) stop this senseless torture of tekkies.
  17. If I can make a mention here regarding roadies in the cradle. I ride mtb so I'm not on the roads, but I have done a few road rides and it's scary stuff, don't enjoy the cars at all. But roadies seem to ask for ****. My point: the cradle has a very very wide lane to cycle in and keep them "safe" . Yet the cyclist choose to now rather ride 4 or 5 abreast and still take up half the road? Why is that? I drive there often and it irked me that people who complain about their safety all the time do nothing to keep themselves safe? Not directed at you , or ur incident HFS.
  18. Cannot wait to see the responses to this. Ide imagine quite a varied response. Good luck.
  19. How many more have to be caught before everyone sees that they all use banned substances. Just some are smarter than others, Lance told us this. Are we not being naive to believe that some men can naturally achieve what others are doing heavy doping to achieve? I think so. That's my little input. Just watch the race and enjoy it, gonna be many more people busted in the future.
  20. Saw something similar at cycle lab fourways.i wouldn't buy one
  21. Valid point. I'll concede.
  22. He didn't complain about the tyre , he went there knowing what he wanted after shopping around and was told by CL that they would do the same tyre at the same price and same installation cost. And then added other costs after the quoted price for labour and slime. I think he has a fair complaint here? Or maybe I'm ignorant.
  23. agreed ,I don't see what a hubbers number of posts has to do with **** service from a shop that isn't the first time has had complaints. It's clear that cycle lab fourways did not do what they agreed to do and that was match the price. Simple as that.
