  1. Unfortunately not. Can arrange one if you really need that.
  2. I have a Power Tap Pro available. Include rear & Front wheels (Mavic Open Pro) @ R 5000-00.
  3. Thanks to all of you except Kritzinger1 who gave me the wrong advice.(Buy Kemperkernoglia) During the process of changing the outer cables I discovered a small dent in the cable close to the STI. Cannot believe that this created all the problems, but after replacing that it is as smooth as only Shimano can be.
  4. Thanks guys - the only thing I have not tried was to replace the cable outers. Will do that tonight.
  5. I need some help - I cannot get my gears to shift smoothly. Moving the chain to a bigger ring is as smooth as can be but moving down to a smaller ring, I just cannot get right. I have now changed the cable, tried another wheelset, cleaned the rear derailleur, lubricated it again etc - but still the same problem. Anybody with some good advice - what else can I do.
  6. Marius Yes I am referring to the Power Tap Heart Rate belt. I am not saying that all the batteries are flat but by changing the battery in my PT HR Belt and my wife's PT HR Belt it eliminated a lot of problems.
  7. Experienced all the problems as mentioned above. Now I am using the PT Belt (after replacing the battery), removed all other magnets, cadence and speed sensors from my bike - all problems solved. The only time I do experience problems with HR are when sitting in a bunch - interference due to non coded system. I agree - the altitude function would be great so if we can find a way to combine Polar altitude with PT data on Cycling Peaks - what a win.
  8. Most of us went through the start-up phase where the name and frame actually sells the bike. Look careful at the components on the bike, especially the group set and wheels. Go to your LBS that will give you the best advice for what you need and not the stock on hand. My experience take me back to: Linden Cycles, Westrand, Slipstream (in that order) Just looking at the response to your thread I suggest that one you've decided on a bike - ask again - within a few hours you'le probably get good advice from experienced Hubbers.
  9. Beeld het dit nodig geag om hierdie 'n voorblad artikel te maak. Ten spyte van al die e-mails en besware teen Maaskaas se berig word daar geen melding enige plek in die koerant gemaak van fietsryers se besware nie. Tong in die kies - Hierdie vragmotor bestuurder het sekerlik Deon Maas se berig gelees en het probeer punte kry deur die fietsryer twee keer om te ry.
  10. Reeds gestuur - aan Volksblad en Beeld
  11. The only websites I could find: http://www.pureendurance.net/rotor_q_rings http://www.rotorcranksusa.com/i1-q-rings.shtml Trust this could assist you.
  12. Had a chat to some guys in Natal who are using the rotorings on their bikes. According to them an excellent investment as it reduce the deadspot and is really effective on climbs. Must say it looks terrible. Any hubbers with some advice or experience with these chainrings.
  13. Jason - The Bionic cyclist details Johan Scheepers Tel 072-321-8425 If he can't help you let me know I can get hold of the details of the people in the support vehicle.

    Frames?

    Very good value for money is the Merida range - from R 6500 (Alu + carbon) to R12000 (Carbon) for complete bikes with 105 to Dura Ace. Don't know the exact frame prices. One of our club members recently bought a Specialised Tarmac frame (2006 range to be cleared) at under R 6000
  19. Don't have Cathy's direct contact details but I am sure her mother could assist you - Maggie Pistorius 058-3032833 or 0828970335
  20. Grapkas - ek het ook met aanhoudende rugpyn gesukkel, wat as gevolg van swak "core" spiere was. My vrou het 'n groot rugoperasie gehad (3 discs vervang) en moes iets drasties doen om haar "core" en rug te versterk. Ons het die DVD's van Graham Street bestel en begin gebruik. Alle oefeninge word gedemonstreer - mengsel van Yoga en power. Gaan kyk gerus op - www.cyclo-core.com Ons altwee ry sederdien sonder enige probleme.
  21. It happened to me twice now. Get a time-out report, then post again only to find that the first one has gone through
  22. - Daemon - where can you get Campy record at that price - PM me please
  23. Daemon - where can you get Campy at that price, please PM me
  24. I recently saw some interesting discussions about frames and wheels on the Hub. Which is the better groupset to consider taking price, maintenance and availability into consideration.
  25. Take a look at the Fulcrum series as well. Excellent wheels at reasonable prices.
