Better than my time cleats which I paid R250 for 3 weeks ago

@Tjokkits, I can't swim because, weirdly, that's the excersice that hurts my ankle the most. The doctor also suggested it and I know it's probably the best excersice for people with injuries, but not in my case. @jeofjingjeff, did you reply to the right thread. My problem is trying to stay fit while injured, because I have a big race coming up in October and at the moment I'm losing all my fitness.

Congrats Tarmac. If you cut the hair you can probably get the weight down to 2930g

O ok. Bought mine December last year and it's working perfectly. Got a medium cage though

How do you mean stick? Like get stuck in biggest cog?

Get a magnet and attach to a rear spoke. Then wind some copper wire around chainstay. This is your generator. Take wires from generator and create electromagnet which you place on top tube to keep the end cap still. This is not boereraad, but engineering raad.

No. Just get a sram rear deraileur. That's all. You can still use shimano casette, chain, front derailleur etc

Thing is, I'll have to row without moving my legs. As soon as I use my legs, my ankle twists and it hurts. So basically, it's just my arms going back and forth.

Het vanoggend probeer, maar het net 1m gevorder. Toe gaan le ek maar moedeloos in die sauna

AT the moment I'm doing full body strength training 3 times a week with a legit core session each time. Will be swopping some of those sessions with pilates or yoga from next week, as I'm starting to look like a body builder. MJ, I know the rowing can be lekker tough, but I'll only be using my arms. Can't use my legs to go back and forth. Maar dis seker maar al wat ek kan doen.

I hurt my ankle with action cricket and haven't been able to run or cycle for more than 4 weeks now. I can't use the stepper or eliptical trainer at the gym and also can't swim. What can I do to stay fit? The only thing I can do is sit still on a rowing machine and row, but that's only upper body and can get really boring. (NOt maried, so I can't do that other thing as well )

Ok sorry. I'm bored today

I'll do this epic race thingy. I'll be able to pay the race entry fee by next week. Just waiting for a friend who still owe me money. I paid for his drinks this weekend. I am also quite competitive. Have been riding for a while now on my raleigh(Got it from makro) and have done my first long ride(2 hours) this weekend. Managed to do 25km on district roads. I usually train between 2 and 3 hours a week, but once I stop drinking and smoking I will be able to manage up to 4hours a week.

Or take it to Epic Sports in Doornkloof. They are my lbs and I like the work Andre is doing there. Don't recall them listed as price fixer

Johan bornman is still legit, but he's in northcliff area though

But how was it? WOuld you go again?

Ended up lightly sanding the the brake surfus and followed with steelwool. Will let you know about the bearing if I come to that side of town.

bump

I'm a minimalist on the bike, so the less I carry with me the better and my tube is already taped to the seatpost. That's the only reason I don't take plugs with me

What bearings does a truvativ GXP bb take? My bearings aren't running smooth anymore.

I only carry a spare tube, no plugs. Just in case of a sidewall cut. On a really long ride I would maybe take some patches

Contact Tarmac. He has a set of XTR wheels and if they aren't pimped enough, then get some wheels decals from tyerone

What is not wanting to spend much? My first bike I wanted to spend "much". Now my next wheelset will be more than that and this time I don't want to spend much. So give a budget. And also lightweight and strong should not be used in the same sentence. Do you want racing wheels, training wheels or all round wheels? Buying from ebay is not a bad idea, but I would read some reviews before buying.

You seriously want an answer to that question. Think this is more of a rant and rave or chit chat question.

When my injuries heal, i'll ride with you on some days. I work in sunninghill
