  1. and no wetsuits? eina just thinking taking a wetsuit off with leghairs could be an eye watering experience sorry for the hi-jack but this makes me think of a time we went diving in capetown.... i was using a dry suit which is notoriously difficult to get on and off because of the tight cuffs. Someone recommended that i use KY jelly on the wrists and ankles to get the suit on and off, i will never forget the look on the cashiers face when i put down the eight tubes of KY jelly she must have thought i was on my way to one hell of a party
  2. glad you came right! the watchshack prices are really good!
  3. Gummi check this link http://www.thewatchshack.com/seiko-men-superior-4r15-auto-watch-srp043k1.html good price too!
  4. guys please remember that if you don't have a TSA license you have to purchase a day license on the day for R30.00
  5. jacques im getting a error when trying to pm you check the pamphlet i attached to the original post all the info is on there! entries available on entrytime or late entries on the day
  6. hi jacques, this would be the perfect first race for you! the 30 km is flat and fast, i am sure you will really enjoy it
  7. Fester its not the same route as the walkerville so you can relax
  8. not the best pic but this is my Felt HT
  9. six days to go till the start of the series
  10. ark i dont have the route profile but i can tell you is its flat and its fast!!
  11. Guys please take note that the Fast one race has been moved to a new venue Waterstone College - Alberton 22 January Sminolta12010907030.pdf
  12. convince her to get cleats, you can set most pedals to release really easy and once she gets comfortable she can tighten them to a point where she is happy.... tell her she will never be taken seriously as a cyclist wearing trainers lol or tell her its a fashion no-no maybe that will convince her
  13. brought a tear to my eye...... sitting in the office..... just decided to put in a days leave for tomorrow
  14. although its controversial you may want to ask your Doctor about a beriglobin injection to boost your immune system,(just bear in mind that it costs about R600 a shot) but it may help you to get better sooner. with three weeks to IM you should be done with most of your training anyway so i would take it easy for a week and see how you feel after a week, then get in a couple of brick sessions before tapering for the event. I believe its better going into an event like IM a little undercooked than overtrained anyway so it just may be a blessing in disguise
  15. i am running rocket rons tubeless and they work fine, but you do have to pump them every now and then because they do loose air but that's a common problem with going tubeless
  16. have a look at the titan carbon 29er think it goes for 18k full XT
  17. Xterra on a singlespeed muchos grande cojones!!
  18. Kona you can enter on the day however due to the popularity of the series it could be that the entries are sold out before race day, so i would suggest entering online to be safe.
  19. now how on earth would anybody be able to beat that post Gummi?
  20. remember guys ... only a week and a half left before the first event
  21. pm me your email addy and i will send you the list
  22. HI Ebenvn, i would also strongly suggest taking a drive to buffelspoort, the water quality there is amazing, the place Wheelsuck is referring to is the island estate, at this time of the year the channels are going to be very busy with speedboats etc so it might be a bit dodgy so for safety reasons my choice would be buffelspoort there you can swim for miles close to the banks which should keep you out of trouble...... just avoid the fishermen they don't take kindly to swimming over their lines GPS co-ordinates for buffelspoort S25 47.034 E27 29.005
  23. maybe explain why you think they rubbish? i've been through two sets and didn't have any issues with them (UST version)
  24. saw two of them at my LBS must say i like the look of the red and white one, prices are pretty good the info i got is full XT bike 16k SLX / XT rear derailleur 14.5K apparently Titan is made by Merida
