Correct, I agree on this point, for the social rider, the route is way TOO difficult. Not sure the logic behind this if you want to attract more riders. E.g. to get to Randburg from Kyalami, why use Main Rd? That hill is too much, there are many other ways, or from Randburg to Braamfontein, why use Jan Smuts, Zoo Lake, thats a killer. Already by Kyalami before main road, "social riders" where done for the day. I am sure is all logistics about road closures.

Ok, thanks for headsup, you coming from the exact opposite side of me. I will be coming from Main Reef Road (wind my way from Randburg, approx 26km), then into Nasrec Road.

Hi All, May have missed earlier posts about this topic, but anyone riding to FNB stadium, using Nasrec road, instead of getting stuck in traffic Thanks

Nice! Is that the RC10...specs please

Correct @ JA-Q001, frame is made for wider tyres!!! That's why, I could not understand why my old frame (23mm tyres) had so much space (from crank). All your points 100% match my crank. (extra washer on DS, pulls right up to BB) Thanks so much, let see if I can get bolts that's flush with crank, or just check out another crank here. Not that much to spend. Thank you.

Ok, yes @Carbon_Kooi, I think that's my problem. I tightened both side against the bearing I suppose its not to be against bearing? But then there is very slight play, suppose this is normal. Its one of the Chinese specials. (Bought it in June, when Rand run R13/USD)

Thanks Carbon_Kooi! See attached pics Still some space (crank and frame) , but its not fully tightened??

Thanks for quick response. 1. The bottom bracket is SRAM GXP (english threaded, bsa), not the new dub ones. 2. No spacer on the BB. There were two washer/spacers on Crank Arm (DS), but I removed it when took off my old frame. Not sure if need to put back, but it looked worn. Also not sure where to get it. (bolts on crank which is slightly rubbing).

Hi guys, I am building up road bike, and fitted a bottom bracket (threaded). That went very well, seeing this is part I dreaded of the build. However, when I fit in the crank, and completely tighten the crank arm on non-drive side, to make sure there is no play, the inside smaller chain ring(spindle) slightly rubs against the frame. I assume I need to put in a spacer? Where do I put it: - Bottom bracket? - on Crank? I used a mallet to make sure the crank is flush with bottom bracket. If I don't do this, there is definitely some play. This is SRAM Red crank (10 speed) , still one of the older ones. Please help.

At least they have contracts in place, happy for the boys!

Western Cape again.

Haha...I also found Pog expression priceless...like wtf have I been doing for last couple of days to cement my lead!

And how can Cav (who has support) be slower than Froome (rides for cash) who gets dropped by any incline

Cav is definitely not the lanterne rouge. He has at minimum 3 DQS guys pulling up the hills.

Great Racing boys!

Willie boet, remove the video, you digging yourself a bigger hole... I had to watch the video again: It started with Castle lite, then spirits... etc...open alcohol containers in car and on the road. Think about the careers of the other fellow cyclist in the video, as well. I am sure your employer (Katusha Alpecin) has already gotten wind of this, remember you an agent for their brand... We all supporting you here in SA, but this is how things (small) start...

oooh F00K, drinking that stuff while riding...you'll just blackout, especially if you're not a drinker.... ...keep it safe!

Hang in there son!
