Hi, I often hear people talk about watching a video or two (even Chris Charmichael). If you one of these people then you not working hard enough. Motivation should be the numbers you see on your Tacx computer when you following your programme and see the numbers(watts) increase on a weekly basis

Creatine assist with recovery. Really as a cyclist you should not be using it. Money down the drain. Spend more time choosing what you eat

Matt Brindle's functional strength training for cyclists. Anyone making use of these videos and is it worth buying?

Smith should have been kicked out along with Boucher. Amla for captain

Polar is simply crap. Propriety protocol. Lose warranty if you change the batteries!!!! What utter nonsense. Why on earth would one want to purchase a Polar.

Hi, Just interested to know when you all starting your base training. What do you consider as base training and what sort of rides do you do? IMO I consider base as clocking 1000km.

The 105 groupset on the newer S20 is probably comparable to the older ultegra groupset. Not sure if the S1 has the carbon rear stays and carbon fork like the S20

So did anyone in the J group get a sub 3?

Will probably be there

Icycling.co.za is having the GP 4000S on special at R375 per tyre

Hi, Anyone got any opinion on the above bike? Any other rival bikes to consider for the same price range?

Africa or no Africa. Lets not politicise this event. The organizers are to blame and Mr Charles Dickens needs his fat ass kicked to Mars

Top fuel try those thin plastic gloves they use in a bakery or when shop assistants serve you food. Folds up much smaller!!

Hi, 1. 2 C02 bombs 2. bicycle pump ( a must had a bomb fail on me in a race due to a sticky valve) 3. small chain breaker + power link 4. glove - those ones the guys use in the delicatessen. Handy, folds up to the size of a R5 coin 5. 1 tyre lever 6. small sqare cut out from an old tyre - for those nasty gashes 7. 2 tubes

Hi Apparently what Lance Armstrong lived on as an energy snack was Nutella. Put in on toast or a pancake

Isn't the Gatorskins a "slower" racing tyre, due to the amout of grip it has with the road surface?

Isn't chain-L some lubricating stuff..... and you want your models to wear bikinis? no sirree not a good idea

In J as well

Garmin Edge

Cycling has ALWAYS been an elitist sport

I think it is about time that the organisers consider moving this event. Like last year it follows on after the 99ner

I mean R4000 first prize for this year's ninety niner WTF!

Hi, Has anyone made this move? Do you actually gain an extra gear and can you feel the difference on a hill. Currenlty using a standard crank 53/39 and I am not considering going compact.

Sent the competition commission an email for their response

Resurrecting this thread once again.... Parcel "lost" using Royal Mail.....probably in SA. CRC replaced the article, no questions asked and this time posted via Parcel Force. Awesome service. Looking forward to my next purchase at end of Jan...and this time using courier services (avoiding SA post office!)
