Never shaved,nor planning to, my choice. Shaved makes you go faster..BS. Shaved makes it easier to heal if in a fall, i don't plan on falling on a regular basis, firstly it's eina, secondly it could be a bike costly habit. Shaved is pleasant on the eye, i'm not in the habit of checking other guy's legs and i'll feel a lot more comfortable if they not checking mine out. Easier to massage, for sure and it cant be pleasant for the person doing it on hairy legs but i don't like leg massages, so i'll save the poor person the agony of doing it. Back and neck massage is another story

Get a ruler and measure it Measuring Chain Wear The standard way to measure chain wear is with a ruler or steel tape measure. This can be done without removing the chain from the bicycle. The normal technique is to measure a one-foot length, placing an inch mark of the ruler at the side of one rivet, then looking at the corresponding rivet 12 complete links away. On a new, unworn chain, this rivet will also line up exactly with an inch mark. With a worn chain, the rivet will be past the inch mark. [For accurate measurement, the chain should be held under some tension -- either on the bicycle, or hanging. Also, use a metal ruler or tape measure. Wood, plastic and cloth all can expand or shrink.-- John Allen] This gives a direct measurement of the wear to the chain, and an indirect measurement of the wear to the sprockets. first, let's look at how to do this with a ruler that measures in inches. If the rivet is less than 1/16" past the mark, all is well. If the rivet is 1/16" past the mark, you should replace the chain, but the sprockets are probably undamaged. If the rivet is 1/8" past the mark, you have left it too long, and the sprockets (at least the favorite ones) will be too badly worn. If you replace a chain at the 1/8" point, without replacing the sprockets, it may run OK and not skip, but the worn sprockets will cause the new chain to wear much faster than it should, until it catches up with the wear state of the sprockets. If the rivet is past the 1/8" mark, a new chain will almost certainly skip on the worn sprockets, especially the smaller ones. In metric measurement, 10 links of a new chain are 25.4 cm, or 15 links, 38.1 cm. If the rivet is up to 25.5 cm or halfway between 38.2 cm and 38.3 cm, all is well. If the rivet is a little bit past 25.5 cm, or approaching 38.3 cm, you should replace the chain, but the sprockets are probably undamaged. If the rivet is approaching 25.7 cm or 38.5 cm, you have left it too long, and the sprockets (at least the favorite ones) will be too badly worn. If you replace a chain at this point, without replacing the sprockets, it may run OK and not skip, but the worn sprockets will cause the new chain to wear much faster than it should, until it catches up with the wear state of the sprockets. More than that, and a new chain will almost certainly skip on the worn sprockets, especially the smaller ones.

Not quite Benoni but on the East Rand (faaar East Rand) 16 June 8am ride Road and MTB fund raising ride for J P Abruea http://www.looklocal.co.za/looklocal/content/en/springs/springs-news-crime?oid=5070816&sn=Detail&pid=490317&Fighting-for-his-life--JP-Abreu-update Start BikeScene Cycle shop 210 Nigel road Selcourt Springs

Says the skinny usedtobebutnotanymorebigben.

Is this the one next month ??

The chicken, the egg just lies there.

Enjoy riding both, in my experience my 26 handles better on twisty bits and 29 kicks a$$ on open bits.

Looks bad. I see the bike did have lights.

Still reading up on it. Plenty to come out still, the charges have been laid, need to be backed up which up to now have been more he/she said/saw. USADA have used their top scientists to analyze the samples, one would assume now LA would be afforded the chance to have the USADA findings verified.

Not quite Fuyi Li was tested positive for Clenbuterol.

Bicycling had a review on them, the Giant Anthem came is as highly recommended with value of 8/10 the Silverback Mercury Elite got 8.5/10 for value. X factor 7 for Anthem and 6.5 for Elite I have the Comp, same frame as Elite, with the exact same parts as the Elite except the wheels, the Elite has Crest while i have Arch. A bit sluggish on climbs but for my type of riding i have no complaints.

Eish there goes my preferred winner

Do you have a link to where this is mentioned.

In previous years the prepacked lunches worked well, no queuing and reasonable variety.

Tainted steaks

No lap round Kyalami then

ZTR Arch, strong and reasonably light.

They need to make it a bit tougher, it used to be named JHB toughest race.

Most Intelligent Way To Cheat In Exams This is really an intelligent method to Cheat in exams specially the Hard and the final exams. a student with three hands, one hand to write with it the other is to show your normal behaviour that are only solving and your hands are appeared but it's really not like that because you are now using the third hand the virtual and actual hand with it you can do anything because no one will no doubt that you are cheating.

Yeah right....

Go Andy If i had to chose between Wiggins and Evans i would like Wiggins to take it top position, During the tour things could change including my mind. Cant say i'll miss el pistolo's attempt at shooting though.

Odd for Horner not to be there, would have thought it's a given.

Go Andy
