Bike Lore

ya, I just love the hub

Gee wis, this threaded is getting out of hand. for OP for posting it. and letting everyone think about how crazy it is to be on ZA roads with out proper equipment.

That is fine. just need to use the recommended amount then. But it is a good idea to replaces it ever year. You will find a nice ball in the wheel of fibers building up. Sometimes it makes a star.

Man, Some times people go cycling and forget that the seasons is chaniging. I am betting this dude was happley cylcing at the same time last month and now it is dark. It happens. Ok maybe more than a month

it all depends on your tire size. I use about half what is recommended and it works, but less than that could be asking for trouble. I also replace it about every 2 to 3 months or when I do a major clean on the bike.

Stan's work for me, but I don't think it really matters which you use. You can make your own if you like. there is a lot of info out there. it is not rockets science. http://thediscerninghobo.blogspot.com/2008/07/whitetrash-tubeless.html

Maxxis, Minion DHF, 26" x 2.5", EXO Pro 60A Compound not 3C

if you say you don't know if it has helped, do you mean you never had a puncture? or you get them and have to plug a lot? if it is the first then I say it has been working very well. just go riding with someone that has tubes and you will start to notice the differences. I can't see how the UST will seat on the rim if there is no sealant in the the first place. If you want to go lighter then use less sealant and replace it more frequently. Most people uses way to much.

rule of thumb is when sticks start to poke holes in i'm, or when the nobs are running flat in the middle, I dont DH but love the look of it on my SJ so got Kings 2.4 front ant Maxx 2.2 back. I find that the Kings 2.4 looks smaller than the originally 2.3 the SJ had on. I always wondered why. next front will be a Maxxis Minion DHF EXO Tire 2.5

ish!!! there goes my Cell C Data coverage...

Ok I give. what does this do? It looks like a front wheel but that is a rear shock and what up under the steering stem?

No. it is R3000 + vat. You need to by the stand and then makup the rest of the order with stuff you don't really need. sounds like the Buy more save more deals....

hay walkerr, any updates yet? what are you plaing to buy?

This is true!!! "Do not increase mileage by more than 10% a week (rule of thumb)"

I like my Tri-suit, just feels right If peeing is not an issue for you with a bib then a good tri-suit will not be a problem. I have a 2xU and not having to worry about how it sit during the race is really worth it. really peeing is not a problem. That is if you are a man. I suggest the tri-suit because you have small pockets that you can put stuff in, it is very comfortable to swim in and run and cycle with. if you are build like the hulk then it is not going to work but most tri-suits are very stretchy so it does not bother. Jut need to find the one that fits.

This topic is worth R500,000 per year in time spend I think this is the bigest joke yet. I worked out that the 11460 post and 739964 views sums up to about 3300 concentration hours. if you could sell that for R150 per hour that is R500,000 per year. And that does not include the time it took the make the material that is posted here. amazing http://www.blake.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/200_south-african-rand1.jpg

just go to work 1h early and leave 1 later. then you look good because you are there when everyone arrive in the morning and you miss the worst traffic before and after :-) and you can go play in the mountains or in the pool, what ever you like.

that is true. I can't find the publication but part of my work require that I read science publication and I remember one where there where tests done with 3 groups of top athletes. One group stretch before, one after and group did not. The groups where rotated over a of time. The results where interesting and controversial. The group that stretched before sprinted slower compared to when they stretched after of not. it also noted that there where less injurious for the group when they did not stretched at all. I don't think this is really applicable to joggers because we don't really over train as top athletes are in risk of. But it was clear that overdoing things is not a good idea and that stretching before can be very bad.

can't I go swimming between 12 and 2pm

clearly has not ridden in CT winters yet. your leaving out the shades. tisk tisk. It seems like most people covered the gear you need. My biggest asset is double layered long finger gloves and covers for my shoes, But my best advice is to get a group of friends that cycles. It is sometimes hard to get your self out in the weather and having friends that is waiting for you is a great motivator.

"Trail running good for cyclists?" not much of a bother on the way up a single track, but a dam irritation down. I use a bell for that. Ok here is my 2c. I use to do triathlons, all the short sprint type. Then I started running more than i cycled to train for a few half marathons and the ironman. I was training for a ironman and the plan as to build over a 1 and a half. 6 months before the iron man I entered a marathon on road and it was really painful after words. I could not walk and i felt like some one pulled my body to peaces. It took me 3 months to get running again. So I stopped the training for the ironman. Then a year later did much less training but all of it off road and then did the Otter marathon. 42km of hiking trails. Did not feel pain the next day at all. it help to grow in to the sport but I don't think I will ever do a road marathon again. if you train off road your body will be ok with the oneven train but build up slow over a few years. Enjoy the fresh air man and Night trail running is even more amazing!!!
