  1. Mr Hamilton must be shivering "Hamilton fears "Lance will hit back"
  2. Iv'e found some rim and tire combo's can be difficult and require more effort, also found 26" easier than 29"
  3. Something similar happened to me during a race in Benoni, approaching an intersection a driver decided he will ignore the marshal's and drove through with me T boning him, according to my Garmin i went from 46kmh to Zero in less than a second. Fortunate for me it was a car and not a minibus as i somersaulted over the car but still ended up with a huge hematoma which had to be operated on twice
  4. As mentioned SW have a yellow sticker special on, went there this morning and tried on the FA shoes but found them a bit tight for my broad feet so got the Olympics for which fit better.
  5. Recall Shaun H's Sign-Up initiative, lots of verbal support and encouragement but when it came to putting money to mouth uttering's by sponsoring signs and buying Sign-Up kit, suddenly there was silence. Perhaps it's different this time round and i hope to be proved wrong but me thinks not.
  6. As opposed to LA who's doing what ? Twiddling his thumbs ??
  7. The Lido route is a potential accident bomb waiting to happen due to sheer size of the groups, yesterday the bunch was huge i thought we were in a race.
  8. Impossible, you never agree with anyone.
  9. Man this is too easy. Posted 19 Dec 2012 "I ride my bikes (motorised and non motorised) in the buslane." Is this another TNT rule. ??
  10. Ah, so certain rules apply, if its a eighteen wheeler its OK. Any more "rules" on when and where to apply TNT methods.
  11. Including slip streaming cars and trucks which you previously admitted getting a kick of doing
  12. Excellent video tribute to Burry.
  13. Seen a pic of the bike after, all i can say is YIKES !
  14. Conflicting reports about where and when rides take place Andrew Maclean mentioned on 702 this morning that a Jhb ride will take place tomorrow.
  15. Shocked to hear, truly tragic loss. Condolences to his family.
  16. You can buy pre filled slime tubes, more expensive than regular and IMO i would not bother with them. Pump your tyres to recommended pressure indicated on the side and you should be ok.
  17. Flat spots are caused mostly by under inflating a tire but can also be occasionally over inflation, bike tires used on indoor trainer can also cause this to happen. As suggested by others gatorskins are very good,
  18. The bike was 2nd hand, for R4000 you can buy something quite decent.
  19. Cool, i found a popcorn thread
  20. Sir Wiggins now http://www.supersport.com/cycling/international/news/121229/Wiggins_knighted_in_UK_New_Year_honours Bradley Wiggins, the first Briton to win the Tour de France cycling race, has been knighted in a special United Kingdom New Years Honours list which acknowledges the success of the home team at the 2012 London Olympics.
  21. Scott's a good brand so on that alone you cant go wrong. componments are good although there have been some comments from hubbers regrads the Avid brakes. For the rest of the bikes parts they are more than decent, i have the same fork on my Fuji and its tops, having the remote lockout is great.
  22. I bought a wireless for my indoor trainer from Sportsmans Warehouse (their own brand), cheap, easy to use and does the job.
