    Die Burger MTB 2014

    can I at least get a tip of the hat for the 42km singlespeed (with a squishy fork and 6 weeks off the bike) been rigid, would much rather have some travel over gears any day. Respect to him going RSS.
  2. look, its good to send back up, but when they are clearly not on the same level to keep up with our star rider? At least Australia could keep sending their team off the front the animate the race and force others to chase, 2-3 extras would have been fine (i'm thinking like a quick spare wheel for Pasio had she punctured) but then send a few men to the road race? 8 years ago we got silver in the men's race......
  3. good result in the end, remind me why we sent 6 women to the race?
  4. my current mtb frame I bought online from US and A. I prefer to not buy complete bikes in any case.

    I got a cane creek 40 series, you can get it from you LBS (cycles africa distribute them) - more than a grand, but they are good quality.

    Garmin help

    I did the beach thing but I think I set it to zero for some other co-ordinates and not where I was actually standing as that when it all went horribly wrong? I see the manual says you can add an elevation point, so will try add my house and set at 17m which is roughly what it should be.

    Garmin help

    so......my house is like 170m below sea level..... are there some preset co-ordinate points and altitudes that I can manually update in my unit to get the readings correct again, thanks for any advice....
  10. I don't think they should base international racing on local events, its just so different. Hey, at least Neethling was racing elite, she's still U23, clearly wanting to up her game......that's cool. I rememember Greg Miller raced elite when he was final year Junior at all the WP xc races.....
  11. That must be true 'cos as a junior he was untouchable then he kinda faded as a U23, next Nino for sure. I juts doen't understand where the development is, Neethling goes to Olympics, comes last but gets valuable experience but then they send someone else to CWG, bet they send someone new to Rio.......
  12. PMB U23 Reid 4th Cooper 5th Nove Mesto U23 Reid 10th Cooper 16th Cairns U23 Reid - DNS Cooper - DNS Albstadt U23 Cooper 15th Reid 26th ok, so its 'only' 2 out of 3
  13. How many times this year has James Reid beaten Cooper at U23 World Cup races?
  14. UCI rankings are grossly misleading, in this case case Cooper is U23 so doesn't earn as many points as an elite and Buys earns his points from winning local SA races which are UCI sanctioned.
  15. when is Marathon going to become an Olympic discipline
  16. how exactly would a known masking agent all of a sardine end up in my favourite tub of big brand naartjie sports drink???
  17. What does Lance call his speedo? A 'onesie'
  18. funny how Barloworld is such a common denominator
  19. and R4.50 for a Pound!
