  1. Got the newsletter on my work email and personal email. Don't mind it though. It's only if they send a few mails a day that I'll get upset
  2. mmm, cold air. Your core temp will drop from the cold air and your body will use up energy to try and warm itself and so you'll lose energy. - my opinion
  3. Ek het daai torque wrench gekoop. Werk baie lekker en gebruik dit baie op die carbon fietse. I also bought this bb tool: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=10179 Been able to use it on shimano hollowtech II bb, my aerozine bb and truvativ GXP bb.
  4. What is the significance of fork stanchion diameter? I see a lot of guys asking the diameter, but why does it matter?
  5. Maybe it will wear faster that way. If it gets a bit dirty it could get stuck and even if it's stuck for just a second, it will start to wear uneven and it will just get worse and worse. But if it works for the downhill bikes, why wouldn't it here?
  6. Cassie, you surely are not from GP. Just this weekend 5 guys were robbed from their bikes while out riding. Although a lot of bikes get stolen from homes, so does a lot while out riding, even in groups.
  7. Now that I think about it, I actually like the bushes. No grease to worry about, which also makes them easy to clean. Just throw them into a degreaser/thinners/etc.
  8. Still on hijack: What's wrong with the bushes? I cleaned my campag record rd this weekend and found that both wheels uses bushes.
  9. Hi and welcome. Normal home insurance doesn't cover your bike when you are out riding. You need to add your bike under all risks. We currently don't have any tracking devices for bikes, but some guys are working getting such devices. For the emergency locater, you can try cellphone tracking. I think Tracker has such a service.
  10. The kcnc are known to NOT last very long.
  11. Have you ever heard of bone-loss? You need to do strength training. I don't believe in high reps low weights. For muscle to grow - they need to tear. I do a 20-30 min full body weight training session 2/3 times per week using heavy weights where I can do a max of 10 reps. With that I do core training, which is important. 2 sets per core muscle group(upper abs, lower abs, obliques, transverse abdominis and lower back)
  12. I'd love to commute, but two reasons: 1. No shower at work 2. 30km from work and I'll have to do it on mtb/hybrid means that I have to ride alone in the dark, which is just stupid up here in GP. (In the summer, I'd be able to commute once or twice a week)
  13. Limit screws won't cause the gears to jump. Maybe just the biggest and smallest cogs, but not the rest. If your gears are set up correctly and they still jump, then one of the above mentioned reasons is the problem.
  14. Hulle moes twee keer af buk om die box op te tel en vir jou te gee >> R25x2 = R50
  15. Awesome. Twice the taste, zero the calories
  16. Cycling will def help your running. It's cross training. Anyway, I'd also like a runners section. I were using the forums from runnersworld before I became a cyclist, but the hub is much more active, so now I'm only on thehub

    How can I only get the Tech Q&A feed?
  19. Seems like there's a lot of questions. Here goes mine: Is it possible to subscribe to the feed of only one forum/section? I want my RssReader to only show Tech Q&A posts and not all the other.
  20. Call Fritz Pienaar Irene. Don't have their number with me, but they stock silverback
  21. This topic has been widely discussed on the hub. A shorter handlebar definately makes a difference. It will be more responsive. The bike will now turn sharper with less "hand travel" on the handlebar.
  22. Thanks for the manual edman. Was looking for it, but couldn't find one. Also thanks for explaning Johan.
  23. I think you have java disabled in IE
  24. She's a mtber
  25. Thanks, but is that a balance weight or is it just a locknut?
