1.72m, 76kg (for 2 years now), and finding it impossible to get to 72kg.

"My only issue is that if guys are seeded in a group that is far more 'advanced' than what their capabilities are and become a hazard to groups behind them, they could cause a crash by their inexperience or lack of time in the saddle doing group rides." Now we getting somewhere. Well done Sir...K

Duckworth–Lewis sucks, Most of all, my employee review scoring system sucks. PPA is just maintaining international rating and scoring standard. If this guy cheated, then he will feel it when he rides where he is not supposed to be. Why don't we forward submission to let him ride with the elites next season. Maybe then he will consider playing golf. Oh, yes, the handicap system is just as confusing.

Milk for me too. What I noticed is that a good massage immediately after the race does wonders. No more sore legs on Monday mornings. I am also of the opinion that most supplements are overkills, especially for us amateurs. After all, someone out there is making a good buck out of us sportsman. Rather spend the extra buck on good quality food.

You guys are one-derful!

So does my bottom of the range corolla. For R5000 I can get a new engine.

If any of you have been considering changing cranks, have a look at http://sheldonbrown.com/gears. Accordingly: If I'm riding on 53/12 (170) my gain ratio would increase by 0.2 over my 172.5. Not worth the change then!

Road Bike. In actual fact the bike was not bought from the LBS.I have the 172.5 on my bike and the LBS would have been eager to sell me the 170mm to get a bit more out of the deal, which was obviously not the case. The setup was based on computerised measurements.

Was just wondering if my crank length is correct. Would 170mm work better for me? When my bike fit was done, the computer said 170mm, whereas LBS was of the opinion I will climb better with 172.5!? Height 1.72m, Crank length = 172.5

This early in the morning, after a bowl of All Bran, I have to admit.... YES.

What you have within yourself, you will see in others. BTW, I think this is a bull*&^% thread.

My definition of POLITICS: "The process of f*&^^g up WHATEVER good people are trying to achieve" And no, I'm not coloured, white, black or Indian/Asian.

Sad indeed.

GOOD JOB BRO! We need more of your kind in the world!

with all these "super powers", why does he have to advertise/work?

You a k@k prater of note

Friday - easy social ride 2hrs Saturday - take my 4yr old daughter to kiddies party (always so unexpected!) Sunday - DC training ride

BMC - Woodstock. I've seen a number of fixies with all kinds of art and what not. If you decide to go there, please ask for my commission!

consumerism/materialism = when you always have to look for: - more money - better job - bigger house - nicer car - Better phone - Bigger TV - Faster, lighter, better looking bike - Younger, sexier spouse/partner And one day you go to the zoo and realise that there is no difference between your cage and those the animals are kept in, except size!

And here goes my 5c. Adiel should be ashamed of himself. If the thing is cracked, torn, lower quality, then say so. People always respect you if you are dead honest. Straight shooters always do better in the long run.

Hi Saudiq We are the same height and I ride a 52cm (Small), which will work fine for you.That will probably be the case for 99% of the brands. Don't let any LBS talk you into mediums, cause that is what they sometimes do to get the sale, and then do all sorts of "over" adjustments, like saddle too far forward and rediculuosly short stems etc. Hope this helps.

Best you can do is to really work hard before Ramadaan,thereby limiting your "shortfall", Spinning 3 times a week for an hour @ 60% does not really challenge the VO2max and you are too weak to do real strengthening stuff take advantage of the weight loss, eat healthy, do some yoga stretches on so on and so on.............. blah blah blah.... I AM TAKING IT EEEEEEEEEEEEAZZZZZZEEE!

It is amazing to see how hypocritical people can be. Last year history was made when the Boks won in New Zealand with all credit going to Jake White. And now everybody is blaming snor for just about everything. How do you explain the following? 1. Lineout throws going badly 2. Players not coming up in a line on defense, which led to the first AB try. 3. No 10 not finding touch 4. Average scrum performance with all the “big stars” in the pack 5. No 14 more concerned about intercepts than applying drift defense. You don’t need to be a rugby rocket scientist to maintain this. In the past, his intercepts came off and he was rated as the best player in the world. If the Boks win next weekend, who will get the credit. Jake, John/ Victor. All the ABs did was to avoid lineouts, disrupt malls and move the ball quickly from the tackle area, which are all Bok/Bulls strength. Boks were outfoxed! And that’s it! Crusaders did the same thing with the Bulls on a few occasions.

I can see this coming: Lightweight carbon pistol, with mounting bracket. @ CWC!

The underpants belongs to my girlfriend. She got me to wear it and has more at home. We can always find a size small for Mr Oberholzer.
