  1. I had a conversion done on my old bike. The front tyre burped going down a mountain pass.Was not a nice experience. Go the UST route and do it properly. Non UST also tend to have side wall cuts.
  2. I have the old black version in my garage with bright green hydraulic V brakes .
  3. Just hang in there and help her.Teach her how to use her gears properly and improve her cycling.Stay with her and do not let her think she is holding you back.Spin,push big gears but stay with her> You will be amazed as to how your relationship and marriage will blossom. She will get stronger and may even start to put you under the hammer.My wife has now done 2 70.3's and and ironman and gives my mates a run for their money.The time is worth it> :clap:
  4. What planet do you live on? A comment of this nature is, either looking for the reaction which he is getting or he is a prize ahole :thumbdown:
  5. sweet :eek:

  10. That sucks.
  11. Phone the local bike shops,they may be able to help

  13. Stick with what works. I changed , change created an injury and as a result will not be doing 70.3 this year,Back to the old shoes and problem going away. I spent more than the cost of a good pair of shoes on Physio. :blush:
  14. Bit hint: Ride on the yellow painted line - the paint fills in most of the cavities and makes for a slightly faster ride. Old TT trick of mine. Road now has cats eyes
  15. I have lost plenty of weight using the same system. It still leaves you pap.Forget about the weight loss, concentrate on finishing.Remember the last 30km. STOP THE DIET
  16. I feel your pain as I am in a similar position with injuries and weight.Last year I was one of the strong ones in our group, this year I am the weakest link.Go and do your best on the day, if you get blown off by your team then so be it. What I do know is that by dumping all the weight so quickly you will only weaken your self .You may be a lot lighter but you will also lack strength, which will tell on the last 30km.Just do your best on the day and remember that there is always another race around the corner.
  17. Loobit. for cycling and running. Great and cheap and last a long time.
  18. A friend has offered my his 2011 Cannondale Flash Carbon 29′er 3 for R 15 000.It is only 4 months old. Is this a good price. My LBS has checked it out and can find no problems with the bike.
  19. Andi Boecherer as a dark horse Tissink just beat him in PE.
  20. Buy a road bike with clip on tri bars. Many events,energade being one, do not allow standard tri bars, have to use the short bars. A tri bike restricts your options.Your first option is the wise one.
  21. I am not a technical person so I took mine to a hobby shop. They did all the cutting , soldering and sealing.Look for one that has a lot of remote control stuff, they are the teckno junkies .Try one near you . :clap:
  22. I was told the Bezamax(spell?) are ok to use and do not affect the kidneys.
