The expat cyclist

Tell them what? That the topic is open or that they are in fact sleeping?

Everyone is sleeping allready...So I guess this was a good time to open the topic again.

Mine was about 5km. I went down just after the tar section and destroyed my RD cable. So I could not select gears at the back. I recall I also took out Jules. Oooops.

Man, if he did not go to pick up his bottle, he would've been back here tomorrow wanting to find out if someone picked it up for him!!!

So, malema walks into the Lab and goes: TREK please... You think he is now gonna join the hub?

Nah, the only times when this race is tough is when it rains or when it gets moer hot. Nothing technical about this race. Flat and fast.

30min drive from Pta, I would guess about 45-50 from Fourways? My wife is going - never misses it.

Why?

Finally

I saw yesterday that even CTM is now using the word NANO technology in their adds...Iesh...

I'm getting tired of marketing nonsense... I was reading an article about Rotor rings/Q rings and it goes on about how this can improve your output power...Bla, bla, bla. It says that studies have SUGGESTED that it can improve your output power by ABOUT a whopping 3%. And then the article talks about the shifting. Bassically it says that the shifting on these rings is a bit slower than what you would expect. And then the article reminds you that it is still good to always remember to shift early. When I read this, this is what I read: You, Joe Public, will not notice any difference in power output gained. Trust me, you won't! It is like a 3% salary increase, ok! Second, the shifting on these rings are k@k.

Water.Soms met en soms sonder koffie.

Is te ver om te stap

Is your freehub spinning freely?

Six year old RC3000 - still usefull. 53x14

Have I told you I loooooooooooooove excel??? Funny enough, I have just finished making a payslip program for my wife. It calculates tax, UIF, commission, VAT - whatever you want. Man, it is kickass!!!

Wheel Schmeel. Everybody and their dog has one (29'er) these days. It is not funny anymore. If you ride a 26", you are now the odd one out.

Sterkte vir julle almal. I think there is a little bit of "crazy" in all of you.

Well, have you ever considdered how much goes into software development? And also, thanks to piracy, I agree with having an annual fee.

Lyk soos 'n strykplank.

And I are done. I needed shorter chainring bolts to be able to get rid of the small chainring and I needed a tensioner, duh! The bike is 6 years old but there is life in her still!

The colour.

I said to my wife yesterday, I wonder what people would do if she started making squeeling noises when she cycles???

We watched part of the match. I really did not think the bellarussian was going to take it. My money was on Sharapova (before the start of the game offcourse) But I am happy for Azarenka.

Boet, physio was not fixing that. And as my wife said: "Your a big boy...Now stop crying!"
