Help.Me.

No man ... i am an average rider 185cm and 101.5kg

According to my LBS 5 years warranty on the frame, he is in the process of "claiming" for the frame, and i know it is going to take for ever to sort it out... and i am without a bike

About the hole, i have to go and look am not sure?? Will the water have an effect on the frame? Is it not aluminium?

I bought this bike because a friend of mine also has an Orbea (older version blue coloured) and he was very happy with it. He is also a bit on the heavy side 105 -110 kg range. The places he goes with that thing is quite scary, i am much more cautious and a real (banggat) compared to them. He sold his recently and it is still going strong. .....SCARY IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT..... you just start falling for "no reason" until you inspect the bike afterwards!!!!

Bought the bike brand new in December 2008

About 1.5km after the last waterpoint(i think), 32km in the race, the road went slightly uphill then one turned right into the orchards and there was a nice dowhill before going up the last climb towards the poultry yard on the right handside. Carried the bike to the water point and got a lift with a farmer on his bakkie...

Has anybody ever seen something like this?? My LBS was speechless......

Fortunately it was the family fun ride.... I can now say that i know the feeling if they kill your horse underneath you!!! Apart from a bruised shoulder and sore ankle i am ok!! My daughter (11 years) saw this fall episode and had to finish the race on her own.... she admit she starting crying around the corner due to shock ???

Whilst doing the Herald 42km MTB race Saturday with my daughter my bike just collapsed under me.

you've got mail...

Thanks very much...... I am to scared to ask about the other numbness, yes but fiddling with IT with gloves on makes the putting back harder....

Thanks BUT i am in the Eastern Cape will go to my LBS to sort out

OH NO........

It was my first ever DC and what a "race/event". We only met our 7 team mates the friday evening. I must admit we manage to jell nicely and where more or less on the same fittnes levels... we managed to do it in 8:10 all 12 of us. I was just inside my comfort zones and enjoyed the scenery and cameradrie to the fullest.... i do recommend I think a very good idea to compile a "check/to do list/not to do list"

so i am not dying?? starting from the hand and working its way through the body??

sorry for the language but this is moer mooi............

Hi all I did the DC over the weekend and after about 150-160 km in the saddle i could not change the gears with my left hand my fingers did not want to react at all...... used my thumb at the end .... today my hand still feels "dumb" Can it be my bike setup? This is a first for me... please help

Do a search here on the hub and follow all the lights stories you will see why...

very dangerous question to ask on the hub..............(bring the popcorn !!)

Ons is almal bang vir die IDT want hy werk jou gal!!! Ek kyk hom ook so aan as ek verby stap want hy is nie my vriend nie, en dalk moet mens net dit probeer verander , maak hom jou vriend??

Ordered the torch.... hope it's not a mistake ??
