  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. I am still riding my titan 29 ht from 12 years back.I am also still riding my fuji sl team edition of 17 years ago. I have replaced tyres chains casettes etc but the basic bike is still the same. I sort of made up my mind that we were heading for trouble once you could finance your bike. I always thought and still do that if you have to finance your bike, the bike you bought was too expensive. But each to his/her own.
  4. I realy enjoyed the interview.Both MB and the guy asking the questions were good.
  5. i remember from long ago the entre on tv: "steve austin.ruimtevaarder.onherkenbaar vermink maar ons gaan hom maak beter sterker vinniger" that was then followed by a sort of boing noise.
  6. I had my scare last year 1 Sept. Went to have a saddle sort treated at day hospital while training for knysna xtreme.doc decided to do some bloodwork as 2 previous sets of antibiotics and lancing did not sort it out.long story short was operated on 11 september.cancer in transverse colon and lung. chemo and everything that goes with it.had my 4th set of ops 15 march and still feel like a dog most days.on good days i try to go for a swim or ride my idt.walking my dog is the nearest i get to running.i look like frankenstein from all the op scars when i take my shirt off.i take it day by day. i had zero symptoms prior to 1 sept and am a healthy 56 years old with no family history of cancer.my advice to everyone is to have yourself checked.
  7. you paid for x on 19 March and today 10 April you still do not have what you paid for is the bottom line. Seller is well aware of situation so cannot argue that he did not know of your justified displeasure. I would like to know who the seller is as I will then file that name under my names of who not to do business with in the feature.
  8. I would have thought that her legal team would have consulted with her witnesses prior to the hearing and they should have known that he will not be an expert and that a nephrologist was needed in her defence.

    The Classics

    what time (sa time)are they starting?
  11. i am on year 5 with my continental hometrainer tyre.
  12. my rule of thumb when buying or selling is speaking to the other party first.you can ask the right questions and the answers will take you far if you are speaking to a scammer or not. normally prefer face to face and if not possible bikehubpay. apart from only being a member for a short time are there any other reasons why the deal seems dodgy?
  13. Did my first triple digit in 1987 on a dare, the old Algoa 100miler. During and directly after the race I thought I was going to be scarred for life, but still a runner today. Let me rather rephrase a jogger. Enjoy and sometimes it is a very good thing to do something a bit different. A good goal should scare you a little and excite you a lot.
  14. I have learned that the only way for me to enjoy my hobby(cycling) is to rather be a a living dog than a dead lion.
  15. Years ago there was an ad on radio that stuck a deep cord with me. It basically was a guy negotiating a very very good price for one or other article. The voiceover then said next time you buy a bargain remember where it cam from. The ad then played soundtrack of someone being robbed calling for help and a gunshot followed by silence. It made such a big impact on me that i have walked away from probably genuine bargains, but I firmly believe that in most instances the buyer knows he is buying for a price that cannot be legitimate. I have no sympathy for either the perp robbing or the guy buying.
  16. my 2 cents worth and no I am not a doctor. I get itchy same place and it is normally the sweat evaporating and leaving a salty residue which then irritates the s.it out of me. i press the helmet hard against my forehead to get rid of the most sweat and rinse with water when i can. Hope you get sorted. Yes I also think your friendly pharmacist would be a good port of call first.
  17. Thanks for sharing.I felt the heat here at my desk.
  18. Hopefully the Senior State Prosecutor will apply his/her mind and refuse to prosecute after investigation is finalized.
  19. trying to figure out how many grams of carb would the mix contain as i work carb?hour into my nutrition
  20. do you perhaps know what the carb content of this mix is per your recipe?
  21. I do most of of my riding alone either on the idt road or mtb. I stick to the roads and surroundings I know and try to be vigilant the whole time. Hate it , but I ride with mace and have turned around before when dodgy characters were up the road. I have learned the best defence on the bike is distance between myself and the other person wanting to attack or liberate you from your possessions.

  23. I was part of support crew on the 0.5 Knysna. Beautiful beautifull race , but yes tough as nails. Also went through to Mosselbay the next day for Mosselbay IM 70.3. Two completely different vibes. I take my hat off to all who participated in the Knysna race as it is next level.
