The Guy in Pink

I also use exposure lights, the Maxx D . The guys with Sigma lights recon that their lights start casting shadows when I am behind them.

What I want to know is : If the public is not getting the vaccine who is getting it? Where is it diverted to??

It seems that the world cup is going cause havoc to all other sports events that coincide with the world cup. A major cycling event in Limpopo is threatened as 75% of the local police force and all but 3 of the Local traffic department will be deployed elsewhere SA. Let's hope that a way can be found around the lack of official man power. Another disruption less serious: Yesterday my daughter & I presented ourselves at our Chemist for our annual flu Jab only to be told that none were available as the Gov has diverted stocks " For the world cup" !!The Guy in Pink2010-04-30 00:43:09

A bike is for riding, This is for pushing

Even some of the bigger retailers are going straight to CRC. I showed one LBJ the ropes one Saturday afternoon a month ago, as he placed his first order with them. He is now doing a weekly order of about R10 000.00 with CRC. This LBJ is choising the items which save about 30% or more on the Local suppliers price. He has another saving on courier costs, as CRC is direct to the local PO at no cost.

about 2 days. dont wait for the slip they might never send it

CRC gives so much better service and price. I purchased a MTB for my daughter in Durban on 25th October 09. As she said she wished to use it for communting as well as off road I specified M647 pedals and was initially quoted R 1160.00 for them, but managed to get them reduced to R918.00. When she took delivery of the bike she was told the pedals were out of stock and was given some other loan pedal until the M647's arrived. I went to the shop in December and they still had not arrived, so I ordered from CRC with some other stuff and got them 8 days later for a total landed price of R 550.00 - less than half the original quote. Cyclesphere have yet to let my daughter know that the pedals have arrived - which they assured me they will as soon as they do! CRC will put many LBS's out of business if they continue with their crappy service and high prices.

I don't think there is any afikaans only Cycling forum. Why not post here in Afrikaans if that's what you want? Your will get a mix of answers in both languages.

A good LBS is useful. Mine knows that I buy stuff from CRC and Totalcycling, and has asked me to get stuff for him twice. I recently asked him for a (new) bike I had seen advertised on the HUB at an excellant price. The (cartel) supplier first quoted him a higher price than the hub offer and when he pointed this out the price was adjusted so that he could offer the same deal. I now have bought 3 of those bikes from my LBS for beginners in the last two months.

Take it to the AFB to morrow, and we can look at it and comment afterwards.

I found this DHC in a second hand furniture shop. It had a complete Zeus 2000 groupset on, (Almost Identical to Campag of mid 70's) , with large flange hubs. The groupset is now on my youngest daughters bike. The bike is now used oin the wind trainer

I used the Zound Air Horn from CRC in Traffic for two years, (mainly early morning) Brilliant. We now have them on all our Mountain bikes as they are great fun as well.

Fakes, If your position is right there should be absolutely no need to worry about the knees and joints. I've been riding around 10 000 km a year for over 4 decades without any knee or joint problems. Maybe I will have to look at starting taking something for them in another decade or so.

Nobody has because it not illegal to ride a bike on a "Highway" although is is illegal on a "Freeway"

I also motor pace at every oppurtunity, as I recon that better training you cannot get. When I started riding trucks were not as powerful as to-day so the a chance came with almost every ride. These days trucks are too fast and I am too slow ...

Tarboy, you are a plagiarist when you copy the work of others See http://www.shinnysideup.com/msf/WaveII.htm ) you should acknowledge that it is the work of someone else. Changing a detail like from motorbikes to bicycles does not cut it, it is still someone elses work.

Wheelie, You are still short of the 2004 figures that was 175km 1250 76km (from Vivo Back) 534 22km 98

Be careful at Matoks, +-50km from Louis Trichardt. There is a 5km 60km/hr zone. The trap in both directions on Friday PM's using two traps.

My Bad, it was the year before that the generator failed plunging the tunnels into darkness. I then decided that to rely on one power source was a bad thing so I bought 200 tourches and had them taped to the guardrail. ... it is not possible to provide enough power and lights to properly illuminate 950metre of tunnel .... especially as the human eye is slow to adapt from the bright morning light outside......all that can be done is to light up the sides to define limits of the roadway..... a lamp on the bike works wonders though.

Het julle al ligte in die tonnels? Dit word elke jaar spesiaal vir julle opgesit. Cheeta, A knowledge of history needed here. The last time Big H rode the Kremetart another Big Hendrik (who you know) was in charge of the lighting in the tunnels. Big Hendrik started the generator at about 5am and by the time Big H got there he had run the thing dry, without any back up fuel on hand. Big H needed a white stick to feel his way through the tunnels.

And what seas do you cross to get to Angola? .

Cops! Utter Useless! I was driving on the N1 in the dark at 5am this morning, and almost rear-ended a 36 wheeler without one light showing to the back. 2km later I went through the Capricorn toll and a police van was parked so I stoped and told the cop that the truck would be here in a few minutes and it needs to be parked until sunrise. As soon as I pulled away the cop also pulled away , and traveled in the same direction as me, away from the truck without lights!
