Wheels I've put on hold. To get wheels that's really lighter, will cost too much. I could maybe have a look at some bearing upgrades when the time comes. Have kcnc headset spacers. I'd rather get something that makes functional sense and not only for looks. I don't have bolt on discs, so I'm pretty limited in rotor choice. Not sure on my pads. Normal xt/slr pad I got from crc. Will have a look at braided hoses and see if they make sense. I really like the ESI grips, especially because they're easy to cut, which makes sense with the gripshifts. I've got black ones, so don't really clean them. They just get a hose down when I wash my bike. Functionally they seem fine. No heavy vibrations etc. Running a selle italia slr saddle. Same as roadbike

Sorry. Was a long day. Meant at the rear

There are lot's of reasons for these adjustments/"upgrades". From weightsaving, coolness factor, lower maintenance to "because the pros do it". So far I've done the following: Continuous cabling went 2x9 went 140mm rotor up front Shock cover (to keep mud/dust from entering between fork crown race and headset bearings) Went tubeless Got a cool front brake cable guide which attach to the fork Got gripshifts Got eggbeaters Got ESI grips Chainstay protector made from tube Running medium cage rd Ok, not so serious the second list , but what other upgrades are there?

Aggies, my eggbeaters have taken some heavy knocks at Groenkloof on the rock and I must say, they hold up quite fine.

If you search for it on the hub, you'll see that a lot of opinions have come and gone. I like my eggbeater sl's. You can't adjust the release like shimano, but they look really cool, they're lighter, good in the mudd and different to the rest.

holy beautifull

Nice. What happened next? Did they ride off the road or hit the brakes?

Don't see how she hurt her leg. Damn this is funny. When she stands and yells at him, she looks like one of the prawns from district 9

Would like to know this ya. How can you test aerobic fitness in percentage? Surely something like VO2max makes more sense, but with persentage there's a limit and the human limit increas all the time. THat's why records still get broken. So will someone be more that 100%?? WAs also told at my company's medical that my bmi is too high and I should lose weight. I weighed 70kg at the time. The medical practisioner told me that I should not really weigh more than the last two digits of my height, that being 1.69m. What a wanker.

You will be able to do it, but you could injure yourself.

You're right, it's not really healthy to bounce your weight like that, but I think this one time won't be too bad. Should be interesting to see what happens with this "recipe for distaster". It's a gamble. My loosing 4kg in 5 weeks wasn't all that bad. It was right after 8 weeks of only hitting the gym due to injury, so some of it was muscle mass.

I'm definatly not a stick. Just a shorty. Still, it's about putting in all the hard work and then losing it just like that.

Clint, if your goal is healthy living, then go for the shakes. Nothing wrong it. It's a good balanced shake offering some nice protein. You can make it with water to lower the calories if you want. These shakes with carbs and protein tastes way better than whey protein shakes if you mix it with water. You can also opt for a smoothie. But one made at home or by kauai etc. Not a store bought one

Don't think my bowel movements are that great.

haha. Luckily I took my mtb with me. Good luck

Must admit there were lots of draughts being consumed. Also the late night burgers and my brother only has risks in his room, which I consumed a whole box of. will see if I can try to get to 66 at the end of the week. Will need some carefully strategic methods, but should be a nice challenge. Need to drop the weight for isuzu 3 towers. So will carboload again next week. Crazy stuff

My Monday rant on weightloss: it took me 5 weeks to go from 70 to 66.5kg with some serious healthy eating and less partying. Just came back from 10 days parting with my brother at stellenbosch. Also managed around 130km of mtb. Climb on the scale today and I'm back at 70kg. This sucks

And I can't do one of the gauteng events. Damn you 3 towers

Can't you go to troisport during the weekend. Some nice guys over there

Eks huge sram fan op mtb, maar gebruik xt disc brakes en xt casette. Beide is beter waarde vir geld volgens my

Got my tubbies. WHoo whoo

Thanks guys. When I got home I got a delivery slip from the post office. GOt the package. Thanks for replies. Phone conversation: Me: Hi, I ordered a package form europe and DHL should have delivered to you guys? Can you help me with this? Is it there yet? Lady: Does it have a ii tracking code? We only do ems packages with tracking numbers. Me: Yes, but I asked DHL to deliver to you. Lady: We only do ems sire. Me: OK thanks. Bye

urgent bump

Get a shimano rear wheel with it's own low end shimano casette and chain. Or get low end campag wheel with low end campag casette and chain

So, I ordered from Starbike and package arived in RSA on 16 September. (through DHL) I made the mistake of telling them to deliver to my Post Box and not at my home. Phoned the post office and they tell me they don't do DHL. So how do I get my package? Can I go and pick it up from international mail centre at OR tambo or what? DHL seem to only have an international call centre
