  1. The reason for SLX over XTR is if the part gets damaged it far less costly to replace. That 6 hour Heidelberg race last year i damaged my rear shifter, to replace the XT would be almost double the SLX and XTR double the XT. Unfortunately you cant buy rear or front separate so you need to buy both CWC 10spd Shifter SLX = R570 XT = R999 XTR = R1830.
  2. Like others, plastic zip bag with phone switched to silent. Need it in case of emergency, I have a cheap R399 model, but it has at least camera so i can take pics if i want.
  3. And he still gets time to ride his bike ??
  4. Make a day of it, pack some beers, eats and stick around to watch the SS riders.
  5. I thought this post was about Hubbers who no longer contribute on the Hub.
  6. All my bikes combined (2 road 2 MTB) only make a 3rd of what my car cost.
  7. Would like to go in drag but i'm afraid my hairy legs will give me away.
  8. When the Feds first stated they were investigating LA, comments were his time had come, the Feds could not be bought, there was no way he could get off that ...etc.etc.The Feds thought they had enough to swap his yellow Livetsrong band for a pair of metal ones , alas not Now USADA state they are investigating , again similar comments. Let the investigation go ahead, play by the rules so that no one pro or anti can claim dirty tricks and less conspiracy theories and thumb sucking. Like with the Feds, i could accept a guilty verdict, can his critics accept a not or insufficient evidence one. Doubt it.
  9. Nothing wrong with Brakpan chess girls
  10. How do you prove attempted use. Is this when you take something and it does not work 1) Use and/or attempted of prohibited substances and/or methods including EPO, blood transfusions, testosterone, corticosteroids and masking agents.
  11. Well one way to stop it is for USADA to say "Mr Armstrong, here is a lab report indicating why we are charging you with" (1) Use and/or attempted of prohibited substances and/or methods including EPO, blood transfusions, testosterone, corticosteroids and masking agents Mr Armstrong on the charge of possession you were found in possession of prohibited on the following dates by the following persons (dates and names supplied), photo's, voice recordings etc. 2) Possession of prohibited substances and/or methods including EPO, blood transfusions and related equipment (such as needles, blood bags, storage containers and other transfusion equipment and blood parameters measuring devices) testosterone, corticosteroids and masking agents Mr Armstrong etc etc. They are accusing him they must be specific
  12. Deore = ok SLX = good XT = better XTR = best Value for money i agree with those , mix SLX and XT.
  13. Lets hope that the evidence that USADA maintain they have got be made available to LA's and other accused to refute or concede. Charges have been made, they need to be tested.
  14. Inquiry not necessary, just send them a link to the Hub. All the facts are here.
  15. Springs Wheeler's ride 7am Saturday starting from BikeScene shop, various groups ranging from experienced to novice. Shop is owned by Riaan (previously worked at Tour de Frans).
  16. Informative, thoughtful post albeit repetitive.
  17. Surely he would announce his retirement now instead at the end of the season. Why risk the chance of being caught before retiring.
