  1. The are probably just out of true. Any bike shop should be able to service them and re-true them for you. They will be as good as new afterwards.
  2. I haven't tried my "racing myself" feature yet but from what I have heard it just gives you an arrow for the directions, not a map like the 305/705. Isn't it just the certain version of the software that hangs? I haven't updated my software yet and haven't had any bomb out or hangs.
  3. Seems like Nasa is really desparate! THIRD thread dealing with it!
  4. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LeTurbo!!!!! Great one!
  5. I bought myself the Garmin Edge 500 last Friday. I am extremely impressed with it. Comes with HR strap and the Speed/Cadence sensor. You get three display pages to set up as you want to with just about any info and variation of info you want. I highly recommend it!! I had my Polar and a cycle computer to give me the info I want during a race/ride. Now my Garmin gives me the info and more that I want in a single unit. There are no maps with the Edge 500, it is a great cycling computer and you can use a powertap or other power metre with it. As far as I know with the Polar you can only use the Polar power metre which I have heard to be a bit suspect.
  6. Yip, just got one as well! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!! Check the person's location. Senegal. It is another West African scam!
  7. Not nice to hear! Hope he recovers soon!
  8. I didn't say it does - in fact I agree' date=' there are many different, better ways that this could have been dealt with. I'm just curious to know what happened. I highly doubt the guy randomly stopped and had a fanny wobble for no reason. [/quote'] I think you put it the best way there. Regardless of what the incident was about there could've been better ways to have handled it.
  9. I think it is to raise awareness for cycling safety in general but the cradle area specifically. I got the impression that they going to have more and just starting with the cradle route.
  10. That is disgraceful behavior. Unfortunately it is these few which give the rest of us a bad name and cause motorists to be intolerant to us.
  11. You would have to change people's mentality, which would be bordering on impossible. The African solution to African problems is to kill. Unfortunate but that is the reality.
  12. Look what it says - "in it's entirety". So he will still sing parts of it! As will his supporters.
  13. What power to make a difference do we have? Mr. X steals a cell phone. He gets caught and threatened with burning by Mr. Y. The "community" then responds by either burning Mr. X for stealling the cell phones or burning Mr. Y because he threatened to burn Mr. X. That is how the community thinks. Should Mr. X actually end up in police custody he has a connection so he is out again the next day. That is if he doesn't hand all the stolen phones to the cop in the first place. How can we change that?
  14. This is how I feel as well. Other countries have their problems but you don't have to run the gauntlet everytime you leave your front door and live behind electric fences and high walls etc. for fear of your own life. On the program I mentioned earlier the one guy says he loves crime and will continue doing it. He will even stuff you into your own oven to get money out of you!
  15. Zeepee, that is really sad. Pieter, as it was the witness was more worried about spirits than the murder. The masses are unfortunately not much different to the government. I think that if you were to take some of those people protesting for service delivery and put them in the government then they would very quickly forget the service delivery and start lining their own pockets. Have any of you seen that Louis Theroux program about Johannesburg, Law and Disorder? It was on last night. Watch that and see what the reality is and the "community" (who goes to the polls every four years) and how they think.
  16. Dangle, I know all too well. In the legal profession and they have a Black Lawyers Association. But can you imagine what would happen if we formed a White Lawyers Association?
  17. Seems like whatever we have is diminishing fast! Revolutionary songs are coming up again for some reason. But when that De La Rey song was sung they didn't like it. Now it is acceptable to have double standards and sing their songs.
  18. Terrible! But the woman who witnessed it is more worried about spirits than the murder!!!!!!!!
  19. Terrible news! Condolences!
  20. A 53/39 with an 11-26 is more than enough. That is what I use and have not difficulty with any climbs that I have ridden and can manage on the flats as well.
  21. Those are going to hurt!!! Looks like she is actually aiming her kick!!!!!!
  22. Eish Robrider! You certainly have! A sad day for you! I do a bit of MTB Cyclocross myself from time to time.
  23. I knew it was an April fools. But Astana has seen it yet.
