  1. hells, makes me think of my mate steve who I used to MTB with years ago. he's a quadriplegic following a fall on his bike probably around 10 years ago now. I wish someday he can get back on a bike.
  2. I foresee an increase in the number of stravassholes for sure. clever though.
  3. how about a refreshed stand on doping?
  4. LBS will charge R900 in labour to replace a brake cable!
  5. split dropout by Tange, check the new Soma frames. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GjIVkiYwlAo/VRs0jMCHvmI/AAAAAAAAChY/SNh8kQR5l-s/s1600/soma_bside_gates_dropout500.jpg
  6. as much as I don't want them hanging off the back, we all know what good riding at the TdF means. keep it tidy lads.
  7. they do, but you have to get 24 x 3.0 tyres and call it something stupid like 24+
  8. ahh you got me there. will grind the tabs off when I fit a split Tange sliding drop out so I can fit a belt
  9. I fitted 10 gears to my SS and haven't even ridden it yet. Far too ashamed.
  10. One's SS needs to be the most expensive bike in your quiver. No old re-cycled 26ers with a chain tensioner.
  11. might be faster but looks silly. ride a bike with rounds metal tubes please. well done to Spez for keeping people employed to sit in wind tunnels and play on computers though.
  12. 44mm headtube required.
  13. you know what it all fairness it is a step in the right direction. but peanuts in comparison to what other sporting federations throw around.
  14. breaking news: In celebration of the first 'African team' at the TdF, CSA is to offer R15000 to any South African that finishes on the overall podium.
  15. so how much does a plane ticket cost to Italy? their cash is safe, not even the SA 'team' will make top 25
  16. try get a used Rock Shox Reba, if, you can get one with a 15mm axle. (might need to replace your front hub but will be worth it) edit: el captain on the money.
  17. did the city realize how many parking bays they were going to take away? I'm all for the lanes, but they should have through out the parking issue. roads should be wider and parked cars should be the buffer between the cycle lanes and moving traffic. Tricky to do after the road has been built though.
  18. great, now CX is going to be 'cool' (sarcastic font)
  19. that bar/stem combo!!!
  20. surely you can only enter and get a rsult in one age category. bit like spread betting, I'll race as elite, and if I don't win, hey maybe I'll pick up a vet title.....
