Big thumbs up to this shop and all the staff.Even if I browse there from time to time I have always been treated like a customer and friend.btw you can always chat to steven about fishing .my favorite shop for sure.maybe their attitude makes the differnece as I have been a supporter since moving to ct 15 years ago.

I am following this with mixed emotions.On the one hand you have the principle of being paid peanuts and on the other side you have that if you act like a monkey i might have to pay you peanuts.I am an lawyer in private practice and has been so for 15 years plus.It amazes me how many times people think that lawyers are swimming in money.Many of my colleagus has closed down the last year or two based on a thing called global economic crises and the fallout of this.Some months go by that in order to keep my doors open I pay my staff from my own pocket as there is not enough money coming into the practice to pay them and I obviously do not draw a salary those months when this happens. The point is that many bussinesses have problems , but it will not help me to go and wave a banner infront of Dept of Justice or in front of my colleagues offices and preventing clients to enter their shops.Any sympathy I might have had for these people evaporated the moment you start baricading hospitals,harassing other workers etc and then you just piss me off.I then think that maybe you should not be earning any income from my tax monies which pays your salary and that you should be fired from your job and all the other jobless teachers should be given jobs instead of teaching other children in NZ /Aus /Uk. BOTTOM LINE IS THAT YOUR RIGHT TO STRIKE ENDS WHERE MY RIGHTS AS A RSA CITIZEN STARTS.

2 But use the 1 most of the time.Just keeping the other as a backup.Got the second one with the second hrm I bought.Luckily both same make just different models of sigma.I am at a loss as to why one should have so many hrm straps.

olympics works best for me.the studs are only if you want to make the team of snorre and bakkies.

if you cannot fix it with a hammer,it must be an electrical problem.

ok i'm leaving office on the pretext of having some other urgent business.(i do not feel bad doing this as many did this during swc me included)phone off the hook,cel switched off,wife and kids sent to visit relatives until i phone them,dog's food put out,home visitor bell disconnected,creepy crauly on timer,enough biltong and some good coffee as well as cooldrinks(read windhoek light) in the cooler.not missing this.over and out.

Racingsnail's comment just made my day.

According to their website the costs for Tygerberg Mtb is R250/year for this current year.If you join after 1 July 2010 you will pay a fee of R150 for the balance of the year on condition that you pay to be a member for the next year.The expected membership fee for next year is R300.You will therefore pay R450 for 18 months if you join in July 2010 and you will be covered untill 31 Dec 2011.This will then give you free riding in majik forrest/meerendal and hillcrest.I do not bother with a CSA license or PPA membership.

I have been a mtb rider for 15years plus.My son has now taken to the sport.Instead of renewing my PPA membership as I have done for the last many years and going to races all over the place,I have now joined Tygerberg Mtb club and I ride the trails around Durbanville area with my son.(majik forrest/hillcrest/contermanskloof/meerendal)I have found that I am enjoying this much more than being one of thousands of riders jockeying for position on race days.As for the costs,I think it is getting expensive if you include the travelling, accommodation,and everything that goes with it.I personally get more value(not necessarily measured in money) when I see my son full of mud and tired as a dog telling me this is the life when sitting at the top of majik forrest.If the entry fee can be justified for what you get from the race,it is still acceptable for me as most forms of entertainment is expensive.I just do not enter races anymore as I found what I am looking for on my own with my son.To each his own though.

i bought a key ring from them once.it worked fine for a while untill i lost my keys.

i will second the choice of olympics as well.best value for money i have ever bought.

Ride and/or Tread are my choices.

put a small piece of highly visible string on the powerlink if you have it in your pack.if your chain breaks en route and you are tired and maybe hands full of greassy stuff when fiddling with the powerlink it can become lost between the mud and leaves.i have found that a red piece of string makes it easier to find as most of the time if you are a first time chainbraker during the race you are allready a bit flustered.practice the breaking and fixing part a few times before hand though and cross your fingers before the ride that it does not brake.

I tried mtb tyres once and apart from the smell of tyres burning the noise should have been an indicator that this not to be done.Long story short don't do it unless you want new tyres soon.There was some rubber lying all over the place.The wife was a bit upset but not as upset as me as I had to buy a new tyre.

I am not a supplier but merely a customer now and again in his shop.I always got good service.If the matter has already been handed over to the lawyers what is the point of washing the dirty laundry here.If the court eventualy finds against the shop the judgement will be posted for everyone to see if he/she does a credit check.I am sure it would be prudent to do such a check before supplying someone on credit.

I have a set of Blackburn lights which I use for nite riding.Is it possible to put other led's in to make them brighter.

RIP. heard via the grapevine that heaven is full of singletrack.Condolences to the family.

Which jail.I'm feeling bored and maybe should go down to jail and politely inquire as to why they steal from my fellow mtb friends.I was there last week just after the breakin to get new rear der hanger that broke at meerendal on sat.they fixed it promptly and I could still go and ride the sun afternoon.Nothing but praise from my side to this store.I am glad the bikes are back and the etters are in jail.everyone/thing back to where they belong.

THANKS BE TO YOU CWC

i ride a mongoose mtb.cracked the frame earlier the year and my frame was replaced and buildup with my components from the previous bike in less than 48 hours from contacting them until riding the goose.yes and everything was set up as before.awesome service and even if some of my friends knock bike for it's weight,i just smile and think of the excellent service.go omnico

I was also suffering through the commentary last night.In the end I just used the mute as the commentator was spoiling everything.Very bad but still beats SABC which reminds me of the Pink Floyd words"I've got 60 channels of sh*t on the TV to choose from"

is there anybody out there?

I currently have/ride a Mongoose Otero Super.The bike is standard apart from tubeless conversion which I did.I also put on bigger rotors.The normal things that has worn out has been replaced.I am now in the process of looking at a new/2nd hand bike.I ride 2-4 times in the week and the odd race over weekends.Normally the middle routes eg 40-50km races.I see Raleigh is going to bring out new bikes(canyon/namib with suspension).What would be the better bike of these 2 raleighs.I am also looking at a 2nd hand silverback mercury or is it best to stick with what I have and upgrade the components along the way?Any thoughts out there.Any help would be appreciated.I am not a race snake and normally sort of make up the numbers at the races.

After being a member of PPA for the last few years,I have made up my mind that I will no longer throw my money into a bottomless pit.I now rather give it to someone such as Tygerberg Mtb Club as I can actually see where the money is going to.(just see all the new routes in the Northern Subs).If I do not have a seeding at a race so be it.This is from the perspective of a non professional rider aka the weekend rider/racer.I understand that it is different for the race snakes,but for the other 1000's who also pay their subs etc it does not justify the cause anymore.

SeeBea thanx that is how it was to be interpreted.Responsibility starts with the individual.I believe in meritocracy being that to have rights and to enforce those rights you also have to have the other side of the coin being the obligations.One cannot just demand all the rights and none of the obligations.The obligations are such as wearing helmet,obeying traffic laws etc.I realy hope that myself and my fellow cyclists will embrace the obligations and then reap the rewards.Safe cycling.
