  1. resorting to violence will only mean" i are baboon."what tickles me is that most cyclist also have cars and i presume drive them from time to time.it is not so much a question of cyclist vs car , but of cyclist vs fellow cyclist.sort of like Rocky2 fighting Rocky 4 who will win no one.I however do not have the answer and i doubt whether the solution will be found during the next few years.
  2. 1. do the tubeless.2.leave the brakes and put on good v brakes.3.if money left get some beer to get to your target that you wanted /budgeted for. as for the conversion sorry i do not know, but you will not be sorry for the tubeless.
  3. olympic best value for money.size wise buy one size smaller than what you would normally take.nice wide shoe for the flat footed like me.The probikes are also good value for money,but narrower fit than the olympics.olympic has 3 velcro fastners while probike has 2 plus one rachet fastner.i take a size 8 olympic where all my other shoes are a 9.the probike 9 is too narrow and the 10 way too big.i guess it boils down to fit and your budget in the end.happy shoe hunting.
  4. draw took place and new owner has already collected from the shop.check out the newsletter for more info.sorry dude/dudess i do not think you won.
  5. stem 100%saam.my seun het eenkeer papier gegooi(toe hy 7 was)het gesien toe dit in takke vaswaai.ek het hom tot onder die bult laat ry,hom toe speach gegee,teruggestuur met die bult op(hy was klaar vodde voor dit)en hy het die papier gaan haal en teruggebring.nou vreet hy as 10 jarige almaluit wat rommel gooi op mtb trails/by die skool/in die straat etc.monkey see monkey do.
  6. some people say the bergies are the litter problem in majik forrest where i do most of my rides.that they do litter is so, but i am sure they do not use,co2 cannisters,gu and all other cycling products that i find on the trail daily.i am yet to find one of the bergies trowing away his punctured tube or riding a bike in the forrest.there is a bin at the start/end of majik forrest so why not use it.it just goes to show that money does not buy you manners or common sense.
  7. i strongly agree.if you brought it with take it with when leaving.the only things that are supposed to be left on the trail is sweat and tire marks.(take note not brake marks as that just shows me you do not know how to brake properly and do not understand erosion)
  8. take the one that fits.
  9. on long runs (20-30km)you get to know all the water taps on the different routes.I also put money in the kitty at 1 or 2 filling stations in the month and then drink on the book untill money is depleted.works good for a ice cold coke from time to time.
  10. after reading some of the above posts i feel like Einstein.
  11. maxum waverider. Australian brand.bought about 2 months ago when diving great barrier reef near mackay.nice sturdy watch(think v8 Holden) with no bells and whistles.i normally wear this on a Mondays when feeling the blues.just one look while sitting at court makes it more bearable by going to my happy place.
  12. Now I know why my training is so bad.I also add two and a half men.
  13. Normally Zodiac sea dragon , but today the rolex sea dweller.
  14. trying to do the single track while on the aerobars of a tt bike.
  15. once a week i take my black bag and clean the trails i ride.i take my son with and pay him as part of his pocket money.
  16. saw that the word for someone littering is a "slodderjoggem" in afr.
  17. i just ride with water so no bollie to throw away.if need to eat i stop at a water table and deposit all in the bins.amazing how much crap(sure the bergies do not dine on GU) i pick up on my daily rides in majik forrest.i do not have a problem with the banana as stated above.
  18. i guess not much of jumping and downhill on that stretch of road.
  19. fools rush where angels fear to tread.as kids at school in mosselbay we decided to go by chopper to gouritzmond.it was a long way,but then again we also rode with honda mtx 50 from mosselbay to pe.
  20. i ride with vp trail pedals which gives you best of both worlds.clips and flats on both sides.you choose when to use what.but best for you is always what works for you.
  21. if your problem/need is at the front
  22. ok not fox but rock shox and the shudder was gone after replacing front rotor.
  23. the bike shed at contermans.ask for jaco.
  24. limit screws?
  25. om kg per dag te verloor is nie gesond nie.dis hier waar dit beter is om eerder 'n lewende hond te wees as 'n dooie leeu.
