  1. It's not actually for me, but for family. I would classify them as semi fun riders. Both are getting new shoes, so was just wondering if they should go for road or mtb. The bling factor deffinetly plays a role in deciding. Will be going for a red/white shoe. Probably Sidi
  2. We have a road tandem with shimano mtb pedals. What is the benefit to change to road pedals?
  3. I think it's the one in jhb south. If you wanna do night riding, join DnD thursday evenings at 19:00 at Irene village mall.
  4. Thet took you for a ride. There is def a difference between Tubeless and non-tubeless. m4wine, no problem. Will work fine. A lot of guys ride them like that, especially because of the weight saving.
  5. Quinoa has been available from health stores and your local supermarkets for a few years. Go to pick and pay, spar, checkers and look at the health section.
  6. Olympics mtb - 3 years (race & train) Shimano road carbon - 2 months (spare) Mavic road carbon - 2 months (race & train) Shimano road(can take spd) - 4 days (spinning & tandem) Giordana mtb carbon - (-x days) (will be used for racing)
  7. Why did you only replace cables? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's rather the housings that wear with time

  9. SOmething else is wrong them. At RodTi, rather get a hanger. If you have a bad fall on the derailleur, the hanger is suppose to break off, but without one, you'll lose the derailleur
  10. 1kcal = about 4kJ A lot of people/lables talk about calories, but it's actually kcal. You can always just use the 1:4 conversion between a calorie and a kJ
  11. Scoe, I also sometimes get weird readings, but can usually spot them. On my last morning ride I rode the first 10min at 95%(was an easy ride) and after that it dropped to about 65%. Then sometimes it's down to 25% or even 114%.
  12. To get the percentages just use this: If you want 70% of max, then multiply maximum hr by 0.7 Max(183) x 0.7 = 128bmp
  13. I'm 24. Resting hr is 39. Overall I have a very low hr. Still trying to figure out if it's a good/bad thing when it comes to performance. Solstice, the 184 I got from doing a max hr test on my polar. It then also computes your VO2max, and I confirmed the 184 with that 3 things I named. Resting hr I measure with the polar when I wake up in the morning. I immediatly put on the hr strap, turn on the hr function and lie still for a while and then take the minimum reading
  14. Well, polar says mine is 184 and I have never gone over that, but have on 3 occasions reached it. 1. Doing trail running intervals and then running a big hill as fast as I could. 2. Doing a 5km trailrun race. (Got 2nd place, so was really really really pushing it to keep guys off my back) 3. Hitting a nasty hill with the bike and pushing to the limit while having a bad hangover. So, I'd say I think 184 is pretty much as accurate as can be
  15. Measure your resting hr when you wake up in the morning. Put it on and wait a minute or so and then record the lowest that it goes. As for max the best is to do a stress test. The highest my hr usually get to in racing is about 95%. 1 or 2 beats won't really make a difference
  16. Dit is te min vir 'n ketting onder normale omstandighede
  17. Where in amberfield. Might commute once or twice a week in a while
  18. Ek sal begin: Do you lube your chain with sand and used car oil?
  19. HOw much you pay for that thing? Would be good practise before going snowboarding

    Fox from duesouth
  21. brad, got mine from crc
  22. What bike is it? Have you considered going continuous. I've done it with goodridge housings and no problems thus far
  23. holy cheesecracker
  24. Cool, although that bike is not stolen.
  25. It can be done and is a good idea, but I don't think there's really stolen bikes being sold on the hub. That said, if we can catch one oke, that would be good enough
