  1. Was ook baie beindruk met Hennie se diens. Hy antwoord vinnig enige vonkpos navrae en het my mooi gehelp toe alles af was. Aflewering is egter 4 dae eerder as twee. Kleur van Fox Flux helmet ook nie heeltemal soos op die webwerf nie, maar steeds 'n goeie kopie.
  2. Don't like colour, badge or the wheels. But make it silver and give it wheels that does not look pimped but rather stylish and we can talk again. SLS anyday before this one for me, thanks.
  3. As jy jou "meneer" in die toilet los, het jy 'n probleem Oom 
  4. Pregnancy advice on a cycling forum.... Good luck Steven, sounds like you're gonna need it. But whatever you tell her, don't tell her YOU need a break and therefore you are going cycling. It's not about YOU now. SHE needs a break and you are going to give het some space... Then take the bike and give her space
  5. No Calvin OR Hobbes in that picture... But excellent none the less!!! Stay with the topic. Concentrate.
  6. Welcome to the Hub GuruJ Now go to the For Sale section. Buy something Get hooked Buy something else Feel the need to do it again Buy something that you will only need once your current new deraileur goes bust ... Learn the lingo as you go Buy something
  7. I always try to get a few people to join whenever I ride, but as stated by someone previously, getting all the diaries in sinc is not always possible. Ride mostly in Centurion (Eldoraigne) and Old JHB road towards Monument and Groenkloof. Never felt unsafe, but then again, this is not exactly the wild wild west here
  8. Bike alone, refer to 1.2 rkm to 1 mkm for the guy that did the Argus in 2007 and 2008. But I did not get a MTB to do road and I believe I have not yet seen a road bike at Groenkloof. I think the average speed at TdF and Cape Epic... wait, let me get it. Please forgive me if I'm out with a few km TdF 3641.9km average of top 10 was 98.82 hours = average speed 36.85 Cape Epic 800km average of top 10 was 30.98 hours = average speed 26.08 Thus a 1.41 rkm to 1 mtbkm For the top guys at least taking into account the varied terrain.
  9. Okay, someone must know this... What is the average speed of the TdF top 10 riders for the entire tour? And last 10 riders? Taking into account they are all professionals. What is the average speed of the top 10 riders of the Cape Epic? And last 10 of the sponsored riders? Maybe this will give us an indication? Time trial averages between TdF and Epic? Will be interesting to see.
  10. So... When you have skills you suddenly don't have to wear a helmet and stop at stop streets? Awesome skills, but not a good example to anyone using the roads
  11. Met 'n 22-23 km/h average op 'n MTB is ek bly jy is in die Ooste 18 - 20 km/h in Centurion as jy dalk eendag 'n draai wil kom maak
  12. Rather order from the online shop, get goods here safely and pay your tax.
  13. What I found is that before most races one generally try to get to bed earlier for the big day tomorrow and then can't fall asleep. Rather just go to bed at your normal time (whatever that might be). And don't take it so seriaaaasly, just enjoy.
  14. Good response from Fritz, SASeeding and MBP at the end. Well done!!! Looking forward to next year's Cullinan Race, by far my favourite to date. (okay, only been in the game for 12 months, but still)
  15. Yes, together with the Ace of Spades what makes the "engine" noise in your back spokes. Oops, was meant to follow Mark Ellis' response.
  16. Need to go home now, this just killed any productivety that was left in me for the day Bwaaaaahahhhaaaahhhhaaaa
  17. Hey Jason Patrick Check these out https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/77730-mtb-disc-wheelset/
  18. Jason Jason Jason my boy, just live with it. We (okay, I) show you the nice stuff... You make decision to buy. Just enjoy!!! My Name is Jason Patrick and I'm a Hub addict... And all say: Hi Jason Patrick
  19. Eternity: Smoking or Non-Smoking? That is the question
  20. I use the same application. $4.99 to download. Even gives you km by km splits. I don'y use the talking function (iphone in my hydration pack) and can go up to a 4 hour ride. Thereafter the battery she is no longer. Very accurate.
  21. Rule 178 Never admit when you are wrong, simply state new understanding Riserbar = good with trail bikes and ou oomies who want comfort rather that style Bar ends go with flat bar (but not if you are weight weenie or seriaaaas podium contender) Riser bar + Bar ends = Not cool You understand now? Any explanation after this will be entirely "new" understanding. Hub rule 179
  22. So bar ends are made for road bikes then? Just like lycra is for roadies and no real MTBer will be found dead in lycra? Except on raceday, group rides, night rides, social rides with roadies and oh, when all your baggies (1 pair) is in the wash. B) And don't forget, real MTBers don't shave their legs.
  23. Or you did not apply for it in time? There is a time limit (cannot recall what) that apply. But even if you reached you 15 000 max, still log your races. After the 5th race logged and verified, you can get 5 000 additional points.

    truth

    At Cajees one can negotiate. No such thing at other bike shops. Whether or not negotiations should be necessary...? Now that is another question for another time.
  25. Mr Tarmac Congratulations. A proud dad is so special!!!
