    Feel sorry for Cherise. She must have had a really bad day on the bike

  3. Jaco-fiets

    I mostly go to Italy! I always make a point of visiting as many bikeshops as possible when I am in a area. Honestly have not seen a morewood the last few years in either Italy, Spain, Portugal or the US So yes, maybe they have a strong following in the other countries
  5. Jaco-fiets
    Hope the brands does really well
  6. Jaco-fiets
    I go to Europe couple of times per year bahahahhaha! Never seen a morewood there

    So for what other reputed brands did this Pat guy designed? What makes him so well respected in his industry?
  8. Jaco-fiets
    Morewood and Momsen not really anywhere on the world stage are they? I had a momsen hardtail the last 2 years. Absolutely loved the bike but it will always be a local bike. There was a lot of hype around the vipa when it came out. I still don't get what is so special about it.

    He does not exactly count as a pro in my books. With all due respect

    The new champs are?

    I am sorry but bikes like the cannondale and specialized are proven on the world stage. I am sure the bike is great but if it does not break mainstream there is no way it will be perceived in the same pedigree and price tag is the expensive brands. To me this is one of those bikes that should grow on me. Don't like it at 1st glance. It is probably like my Mazda bakkie! When it 1st came out I thought to myself "you will not catch me dead in one of those". Now I drive one and love it
  12. Jaco-fiets
    Stiff price for local

    True! My mistake. Just reading what I want there to be. Maybe I developed ADHD

    Then I must have read the article wrong!

    All depends on where you are at the moment compared to what you are capable of. In my case my FTP is 258. I try to use my time as efficient as possible. Training around 8hrs a week is what I can do. That FTP was tested a year ago. Earlier this week it actually tested lower than that even though I am in much better shape. My weight is 74.5kg at the moment. With some focus I can probably get it down to about 72kg. I don't see my FTP going higher than say 275 (optimistically) with the time I have (or even with 3hrs a week more). That gives me marginal increase in my power to weight. This is about a 10% increase (quick calc). Sounds decent but this is as good as it will get. Summary is - not a natural/gifted cyclist at all Does not keep me from enjoying it any less. Also the reason why I suffer so much with even just 2weeks off the bike This is my theory anyway

    Getting from a 3.0 to a 4.0Watts/kg is a huuuuuggge jump in FTP

    On the ladies side I reckon Arianne will obviously win with Cherise in 2nd (claiming the title). If she can be within 10min of Arianne I reckon she can be extremely happy On the men's side I think the tussle will be between Reid and Kleynhans. Sure will be a tough race both sides

    Did a race on sat and have a bit of post nasal. Maybe I should test again next week. Don't feel sick at all though
  19. Jaco-fiets
    Tested my FTP 1st time in 1year. It actually came down a bit even though I know I am in much better shape than when I tested it 1 year back. The conditions and setup was 100% same as previous test. All done on my powerbeam IT Any of you experience something like this?
  20. Jaco-fiets
    Heard the 1 down here in Somerset West was a real success
  21. Jaco-fiets
    Lekker sweisbrille
  22. Jaco-fiets
    Cherise is in great form and there will be no competion. No secret that Ariane is going to make her suffer. In other word she is going to k@k off a bit. WWhere is the disrespect in that? Sauzer k@kked in some of the stages to hang with Kulhavy
  23. Jaco-fiets
    Sheeeet! Forgot about that as well. Oh well, Rather buy the sram cassette then
  24. Jaco-fiets
    True! Forgot about that. Think I still have my 10sp freebody around here so that should sort that out I hope
  25. Jaco-fiets
    Great! I need a new cassette so I will wait another 2 months and buy the XT cassette and new chain for half the price than XX1 cassette
