The expat cyclist

Cause even sheeeeeeeeet is good for something.

If a bike has a SRAM BB, may I fit Shitmano pedals on it? Or is that like mixing riser bars and bar-ends? And why do a lot of bikes these days come out WITHOUT pedals?

R1500 - R1750. Maybe R2k depending on the age of the bike.

Rodger is driving the bus again!

C'mon Rodger!!! Breakpoint!!!

I can't vote either. Me not have bike.

And what did you buy?

I am converting my 6 year old roadbike onto a SS tomorrow. 1. Get spacers for the cog on the freehub. 2. Remove FD and RD and cables 3. Remove small blade and maybe use shorter chainring bolts. 4. Maybe get a BMX chain or at least just a new one. That is that.

But GOG, in that case, it could be anyone flying over to the UK...since they don't know what she looks like.

I am tough by default - Hey, Afrika is nie 'n plek vir sussies nie!

Anyone who cares to the answer of this question? I am off to go finish my house duties - washing the dishes.

Who is the toughest? Well, the one that doesn't cry about it. The guy that doesn't feel like he has to justify himself to others.

If it is roadies, they will be to scared to get blood on there whites...

I think the question should be: If a freerider and the lycra clan walk into a bar and a fight breaks out, who will be the last man standing?

I'd rather prefer that the races are not too well attended. Take 94.7 for example. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to many riders for the course. As a MTB'er you don't have the luxary of wide open tarred roads. Try fitting in 2000 riders in a single track section - it is just mayhem.

Uhm, nee, that is not going to work. I treat my wife no different than I would treat any of my male friends when it comes to cycling. I respect her that way. It is like my brother in law says: As jy saam die groot honde wil hardloop moet jy jou been hoog oplig.

All I heard is: "it tastes like sh...uhm, grass" French guy on a surftrip and "grass"...Ok.

So this is the new : "you have to have this or you will die"? The wheat part I can deal with. It is the grass part that will make me avoid this.

I am not getting beaten by housewives. It is oke's on rigid SS 29'ers that kick my butt...

Wdf is wheatgrass and what is it supposed to do?

Ag hel, as ek net 'n race by babbas kan wen is ek happy.

Just a slight hi-jack: We are going to run out of carbon fibre soon I think. Thanks to Boeing and Airbus.

Ek dag dis 150km. Eendag as ek 'n fiets het Perry, dan kom ry ek saam. Eendag.

Gloves? Really? Gloves and a helmet??? Nee boet, you should rather keep still and play dead. When you start cycling and you are on a budget for gear. 1. Helmet 2. Cycling shorts The end.

Simple, for a budget of 4K he can get a "rigid" softail that weighs more than the moon. Age has got nothing to do with what kind of bike you should get.
