I was chatting with a person last week who told me that there had been 12 busts by Athletics SA and 30 at the craven week rugby.

Some assistance and advice please. I am travelling to the USA next year to compete in the Hy-Vee triathlon champs. Gonna be taking the Mrs and making a holiday out of it and not particularly excited about dragging my bike around. Does anyone know if it is possible to rent a decent bike for a few days to do the race?

Hey, I have a thule 9104 rack that will fit perfectly on your Golf. Selling it for R800.00 Had it on a Toyota Auris, and it worked perfectly even with 3 bikes on.

If its anything like the garmin you will need a distance sensor on the rear wheel for an IDT.

Training for Ironman i munched on hot cross buns. They were awesome, ate about 1 every 2 hrs, just having a little nibble every half an hour. Used these and a combo of water and powerade and was fine on training rides up to 7hrs.

Hi all, Looking at a bike GPS and at the moment its a toss up between a Garmin 500 and Bryton 35. Ive read the reviews on both and the comparison topics here on the hub and i am edging towards the Garmin. I have a question that i cant find an answer to regarding the HR function on the Garmin. Does it have sport HR zones that you can set like the Polar watches. Anyone know??

Im currently training for Ironman, and i am having problems with me knees while running. The problems relate to my feet and my hips which im busy working on with a bio and ortho. Could training on a spin bike be adding to my problem??? Advice please!!

Finally managed to get me a new set of wheels. I upgraded from a set of Shimano RS10 that came with my original bike to a set of dimpled Zipp 404. OMG what a difference. I now understand what a difference a good wheelset makes.

Ok, so it seems that the general idea should be to start with the fork? Is it possible to modify a fork (I have a Rock Shox Recon) to the 120mm.

To all the seasoned MTB riders out there i have a question. I recently built up a full sus MTB (GT Sensor) from my old hartail. Now the sensor is designed to have 120mm travel, but my old fork from the hardtail only has 80-100mm. I have always ridden it this way, and its what ive become used to, but lately i have though that perhaps its not right. Yesterday riding down some rocky decents, the bike felt terrible, twitchy and all over the show. I had a mate take it down and they said that it was one of their scariest bike experiences. Now the question, will the mismatched suspension travel make a huge difference? (Perhaps the poor handling will explain my dislike for anything remotely technical).

The chip comes off the little holders easily. It has 3 (i think) little prong thingies that go through the orange chip. Just cable tie onto your fork. I have done this becuase the rattle of the stupid chip on its holder used to drive me mad.

Is it possible to get a stem shim/spacer to fit standard diametre handlebar in a oversize stem??

I have Shimano RS10 wheelset at the moment, its not too bad about 2kg i think. Im 60kg so weight of bike is not too concerning as i am lighter than most anyway. So i think it might be the group.

Ok, so i think its time for a too me from me present and i want to upgrade parts on my road bike. Currently using a 9sp tiagra groupset. So what will be a better upgrade. A new 10sp 105 or rival group or a wheelset, probably Ksyrium Elites??

Rode there on saturday. Saw 1 car my entire ride.

Emmerentia Dam. Plenty people walking dogs, and you can ride the trails along the spruit.

Wow. That's great hey. Big UP to the guys at West Rand Cycles, sounds like you also have a great bunch of mates too.

I have this book. It is awesome.

Does your wife ride? If not, get her some Assos and Sidi for her birthday. They will default to you when she cant use them.

Get a IDT specific tyre, or wrap your tyre with insulation tape (personally I have not tried the insulation tape story. It was a tip in one of the recent bicycling magazines)

Brilliant

I am sure that there are guys who meet at the broadacres shop in the morning for a ride. Perhaps ask at the shop

From magalies you could get to breedts pretty easy.

Park in Ruimsig, ride to teak through the back of the athletics stadium and past the quarry. Do a loop of teak and back for coffee.

Its so sad, these threads are started weekly here on the hub. The situation is bad, and in reality it is not going to change anytime soon. I have started to become very wary of my road rides, and to be honest i have started to consider giving it up all together for the MTB.
