  1. WAY! but I mean WAY! out of line. Redlight or redneck?
  2. Are you sure it is the correct pads and did you bed them?
  3. Must have been a withaak boom. And Strava will be the death of you - it WILL take control you so resist
  4. DIY and savour
  5. Does the rule differentiate between a solid and broken white line?
  6. porqui

    chappies

    It is TWO weeks for ASSESSMENT and only when they have assessed and decided what to do will/might they decide to commence with reconstruction
  7. Simple answer. As jy jou gat wil sien - JA! (esp seeing you do so much mountainbiking anyway)
  8. Can do it on a road bike. NB: Keep to the left lane - some cyclists cut corners as there is no traffic but forget there are other cyclists Road is officially closed. Cant see why they do not open it for cyclists - maybe drop Entilini a polite e-mail with a request
  9. But it is law NOW So no more riding along Somerset Road as it has a cycle lane its whole length = yes be it pavement on the Town side
  10. Did you cross the finish line in under 3hrs? Ride smarter not harder.
  11. Try and source some aircraft grade aluminium
  12. Tjokkits - that is not a bearing and no it is not broken.
  13. Eish!
  14. Is it OK for this thread to have gotten to 8 pages in less than 24hrs? IS IT OK for Monday to be the new Friday? Is it OK for you to ride on the right of the yellow line?
  15. The point is not whether you take your bike in to the LBS or not but if you do take it in and it comes back with those pads I would be SERIOUSLY miffed. I SAY "NAME AND SHAME"
  16. You might ! but some don't even know what that thingy at the back is. They take it to their LBS I know someone who has never even removed a wheel - serias - has bike rack and punctures done by LBS
  17. Mess with my brakes I say "name and shame" !!
  18. Last paragraph "So here’s my proposal: Every time you get on a bike, from this moment forward, obey the letter of the law in every traffic exchange everywhere to help drivers (and police officers) view cyclists as predictable users of the road who deserve respect. And every time you get behind the wheel, remember that even the slightest inattention can maim or kill a human being enjoying a legitimate form of transportation. That alone will make the streets a little safer"
  19. Simple!! If you are going to get a mountain bike and use it on the road often you get one with lockout.
  20. So I was at a braai recently (+- 10 guys - me outsider) and the conversation turned to cyclists, yellow lines etc and I was shocked at the hatred toward cyclists by these guys - it was scarey. Half the guys willingly admitted to "going" for the cyclists. I could not believe the level of animosity displayed and the pride of having "shown" these cyclists a thing or two. As a cyclist and driver I believe that we as cyclists should seriously consider a campaign that would improve the attitude toward us and I suppose it starts with each one us and our attitude.
  21. Don't you guys have some minedumps in the area?? Pick your gradient Up hill Down hill (Hey it's still Friday !!)
  22. To OP - why did you get a road bike ?? Then use it damnit!!
  23. Just realized bike is 25 days short of a year old so problem should be covered by warranty so will not be opening lever unit Bike is 2011 model but bought in 2012 (Nov 29) But will give feedback as to cause
  24. Those pictures are worth a............. The problem could be that o-ring so will need to have a look but oh for clip-remover in the middle of the desert nevermind a new o-ring. Thanx guys it all seems much clearer now and not as daunting but still need to do it. Those links were REALLY usefull Riding is out of the question as temp is running at about 40*C with a wind that seems to come out of a blast furnace and dries your eyeballs instantly if you dare to look in the direction from where the wind is coming.
  25. Nobody had this problem before? (Induced bump)
