I think so need to come up with some odds though

I think they are... a number of other South Africans will also qualify to ride.

thanks guys for the quick response...much appreciated So you don't have any problems with bursting tubes I take it?

Hi all, perhaps a doff question, but is it possible to patch punctured road tubes?? Is the air pressure not too much for the patch?? It seems quite a waste to have to throw the tube away.

Hi hubbers spotted this add on gumtree, bike is for sale for R2000 (bit low :unsure:maybe)...seller mentions being in Umhlanga,KZN. link: GUMTREE: Raleigh 2008 RM limited After searching on thehubsa noticed the same bike for sale at R11000, and seller mentions being in Cape Town . the link: thehubsa: Raleigh 2008 RM limited Interesting change in price- Just curious thats all!!

could you please send me (or post them) the contact details of Fast Fuel. I tried their number before Argus but no reply!!! thanks

On my last few grains of Fast Fuel- Sports Fuel and have been struggling to find stock anywhere. Apparently they are not producing anymore?? Now have to find a new product- got a sachet of 32GI to try...really liked the fast fuel though!!

Agree 100% Konaman. We need to nurture the young talent, of which a number of junior and U23 riders have the GENUINE potential to be worlds best!! All these riders need is the exposure to more international racing, perhaps in the same way Burry was exposed to fending for himself in the States at just 18 yrs old... The likes of James Reid and Luke Roberts (11th and 12th respectively at World Champs), Arno du Toit, Brendon Davids to name just a few should seriously be considered for the programme, if CSA is looking to make progress on the international scene, that is!!

Posting again-What is the procedure for cycling the route twice? Does one simply walk into the starting pens at the back? Does the timing chip not get picked up by the mats (is it best to take the chip off)? Do the officials not check numbers etc. and disqualify your result? Thinking of doing the second lap with my dad who starts late.

Does anyone know whether Fast Fuel will be at this years Cycle Tour Expo. Have tried to contact them but no reply as yet. Thanks

It may be Patellofemoral/knee pain and is a common cycling injury. Prevention: Correct riding position, correct bike size and strong core. Stretching the quads and hamstring also helps. Try varying the saddle height as mentioned and try prevent excessive play on the pedals. If you get this injury stop immediately and let the knee rest. Listen to the body when it is telling you something

AHAAA.. The "Prof" should try and include a cure/help to create "brilliant spelling and grammar"..... Should "CONFIDENTIALLY GUARANTEED" not read as "Confidentiality Guaranteed"??? Clearly "the Prof" doesn't subscribe to his own methods!!!

Hi hubbers, I am currently using a set of Mavic Kysrium Elites (Shimano) on my road bike, but am interested in getting another set of wheels which will be used mainly for races, and have some questions to ask. firstly, will it be better to get clinchers or tubbies (have no team car)?Are deep section carbon wheels the way to go and what depth gives the best flexibility? (I would also like to get lighter wheels than the Mavics.Is it best to go with wheels which have an aluminium braking strip,( as opposed to full carbon) so that brake pads don't need to be changed all the time, and can the brake pads position remain the same for both wheels ie. current Mavic's also?2nd hand or new?I am looking to spend a maximum of around R7500, what is available in this price bracket?What brands could you recommend, (how do American Classic, Spinnergy and Mavic Cosmics compare to the above questions)Basically I am looking for lighter, faster wheels, where no adjustments must be made when I change wheel sets. Sorry for all the questions, but your help is appreciated... Thanks

How much for the hat... or does it not belong with the "harley with tassles" in the background??

agreed, lipton!!
