  1. I have been on the motorbike on the bike route the last 2 years of this event. The number of people having aero bars and sitting upright is extremely high. If you go the aero bar route make sure you are comfortable sitting in the bars.
  2. same name as from day 1 , but then I am only a youngster on the hub here for the last 15 years. as per certain 1000 post count i will still not be able to sell to x , but that is about to change in 4 posts. guess i will be a legit hubber then. i have always enjoyed this forum.
  3. Anyone have a name or contact details of where to look for a shop that sells compress sport triathlon pants and tops in greater cape town area.
  4. I have tried the SiSu gel ,but for me the consistency was too gooye and I struggled to get it down.Had to use it with quite a lot of water to go down smoothly. The maurten gels are pricey ,but you definately get what you paid for if you can get through the funny consistency.
  5. I guess I am a few models behind. Still using my red and white 920 xt and it tells me everything I need and battery still gets me through IM. I realy realy hope it does not die anytime soon.
  6. Good luck to all running this weekend.Travel safe and remember this is your hobby. Do it in such a way that you can do it again.
  7. The current form of Froome and for some time now is that of a boxer fighting past his prime and tarnishing his legacy.
  8. There are many more questions and opinions on this matter.However it is extremely difficult to discuss a matter so complex in not only human nature but also in legal nature on a forum like this.I do think that CSA did the right thing. The administrative side of the law and the criminal side and the possible civil actions that might flow from this scenario are endless.I do feel for the victims(the minors) in this case and I hope they will find peace in one or other way. I make the above observation from a legal perspective having practiced criminal law after being a prosecutor in the childrens court for nearly 30 years.
  9. How is the podium holding out? I am looking at buying podium but would be interested to know how well they lasted/lasts?
  10. mine is so old that any thief that has style will not take mine.
  11. do you need to wash it down with water? are you also going to use their fuel in scoops in a bottle?
  12. For me it is more the after the fact cover up that upsets me wrt the 2 oceans thing.
  13. the ugly bike went quite fast.
  14. It depends how deep the scratches are. I have used toothpaste previously to remove scratches from garmin face when I swam into lane ropes at pool.Your other option would be to take it to a spectacle shop and see if they can get it out as they sometimes remove scratches and swirls from reading and sunglasses. Hope you get right.
  15. I have learned the hard way that you have to train your gut to accept and distribute the amount of carb you can take. Start with small amounts and gradualy increase.You will find the tipping point between performing and standing bent over in bushes or looking for the nearest loo. This should all be done during training and then adjusted to race conditions.Train your gut
