Being a runner and cyclist I've always hated the cardio section at a gym and couldn't understand how people didn't get bored exercising on one place for so long. For several reasons I couldn't ride or run the past 2 weeks and had to drag myself to Centurion virgin active armed with my ipod touch. Results: Not to bad. Almost every machine has a tv or you could plug in your earphone and watch on the big screen. There's almost a dozen different machines. 10 min on a few of them and you've got a total boday workout/cardio session. Machines with tv screens also have a RCA input for your own movies They've got a normal spinning bike with a screen and ipod mount. So I just plug in my ipod and watch series on the screen or you follow the virtual instructer. If all else fail, they have a free wifi network so i watched some youtube videos. Listened to the top100 song(legal ipod app) Go VA

Not if you do it carefully' date=' remember it only needs a low torque tightening, Edit sorry not so low, 35-50Nm, which is also not too tight, so if you tighten it carefully is fine, I've got the right tool now though. [/quote'] Mine was actually a stupid question. You can just use a piece of clothing to protect the cups. Sorry 'bout that. Nice hack, by the way.

Pressure depends on tyres, rider weight, terain, preference etc. There's not a best sealent. Some are thicker than others and some are more helpfull when you have trouble sealing them the first time. I'm no expert there. Don't use amonia based sealent in kenda tyres. It's sealent, not lube.

What's wrong with it being fuel Johan?(Except that it would maybe attract every grain of sand or dust) I used to clean my chains with diesel.

Ok, so it's the wheels, tyres and brakes that get's it so low.

I would have gone to petrol station next morning and buy some diesel. Dunk my chain in there and wipe clean. It's not something household, but you sure have access to it.

What components? Interested to see how you got it to 10.3kg

Doesn't is damage the cups?

You maybe wanna sell the rr, aggies?

Thanks See how the little chick in the second last photo beat the guys

Snapped a few photies after the race. Identify yourself and I'll send a high res if you want

They've got some nice lightweight brakes as well

buy a 29er instead. Met Tarmac s'n gaan die gewig dieselfde bly. Jy moet net jou bakkie of iets verkoop

I've bought a carbon frame from Tarmac and wheels from Scoe, who was very helpfull as well. Ridr was very helpfull with CRC order. He even delivered to me for free. Bought a cervelo R3 form chaunce

Have spent well over 30k. Largest single amount was about 25k, but I went to fetch and did the payment there. With stuff over R2/3k I would go and view or get someone to view

Does anyone have any experience between the two? Will mainly be used for Gauteng conditions. Both non-UST lightweight tyres.

They may handle easier, but they are also lighter. Why don't you want to adjust your stem?

You can take a medium or you could get away with a large

So basically the slowest gear of a 2x9 will be between the 2nd and 3rd slowest gears of a 3x9 and the fastest 2x9 gear will be between the fastest and 2nd fastest 3x9 gear

I'm running 29-42 with a 11-34 casette. If you're not riding lots of steep long hills then you can get away with 11-32 Check out the chart below. The one colour give all the gears for 22-32-44 and 11-32 casette and the other the gears for 29-42 and 11-34 casette.

I thought your pedals looked out of place. Why not some eggbeaters. Then it would be 9.4kg

No, everything stays the same if you get a double crankset. You only change the limit screws on the fd.

Was a size 20 spanner, but I can't come up with a witty name right now.

Just a thread with some homemade tools for emergencies. Last saterday afternoon I needed to replace my casette before the Sunday race. So here's my chainwhip stewie9112010-06-01 10:43:21
