  1. Ya, heat doesnt trash your bike! Mud.... eish
  2. No Way... i'd take the heat.
  3. Im guessing the organisers have the sense modify the route if need be?
  4. Been bucketing down in Durban and pinetown all day today. Add to that the massive storms last night?? not looking good! DOnt know how much rain has fallen up PMB way?
  5. Ironically, that is more like 1st world vandalism, where there is no point. or money to be gained... you must see the vandalism in UK and US.... lots of park benches thrown in ponds!!
  6. Yip.... this JB fellow has helped us all with FREE tech tips on the Hub for years!!
  7. Sounds like the man tried to accommodate your very busy schedule, but fell ill untimeously!!! Leave the deposit with him and eventually a date that suits you should come up?? Oh dear, i forgot... now after your rant i doubt you could sit in a room with him for a weekend? But to be honost, given your side of the story, i might have given the deposit back? Lets here the otherside? Popcorn anyone?
  8. Japanese engineering = precision American engineering = functional Italian engineering = flashy
  9. Tired or fresh, january or July.... none of them this year have had me on the edge of my seat like contadot this Vuelta...
  10. Thanks.... I'v got one of those park tool stands, definatly gonna do this!!!
  11. i'm impressed.... good on the SA boy pushing the boundries of design!!
  12. The Brazilian beat him!!! Perhaps the Brazilian had the 2012 model blades!!
  13. No.... it was Frank that tested possiive for diuretics..? So what did Andy test possitive for?
  14. Sorry, quite right.... for a moment there i thought it was Andy who had that diuretic possitive test, but it was Frank..
  15. What was Frank Schleck disqualified for in 2011 TDF?
  16. don't try take it out if the housing is carbon. On the adaptor instructions it says it's removable in in aluminium frame, but not carbon.. Once in it must stay in. BB30 is not that great anyway!! Leave it
  17. Im guessing your wife gave you one as a present and you lost it? Now you need to replace it before she finds out?
  18. you doing plenty. just taper down for the last 2-3 weeks and dont start the race too fast
  19. Bit of a Ken Block moment, but regardless Greg is a thorough bred Saffa, just awesome!! Gotta agree! Probably best sporting moment of my year...
  20. IF he was winning in the final Kirani James and the rest of the athletes would be protesting. I think what Oscar does is increadable and inspiring, but I also think he is denying an able athlete a spot in the final. I dont think he should be competing in able bodied olympics.
  21. I'm over Specialized.... waited for 5 months for Fast trak control tires..... couldnt wait forever.. moved onto Maxxis Ikon. When the stock eventualy arrived in SA. apparently only half of what they ordered came!!
  22. His sponsors and mother must be proud!
  23. Why are there so many knuckleheads on this planet (or should i say in the western world) that dont understand the true benefits of bicycles?? My bike is not an essential mode of transport for me, its a fitness , racing, enjoyment luxury, BUT if our towns and cities offered a safe cycling infrastructure, then it would be my primary transport means... I get a kick out of the fact that you can go 100km's on banana and bottle of water... beautiful!!!

    SRAM XX1 2013.

    makes perfect sence to me..... love it.... only downfall could be when you need to get throught the cassette fast...ie. down a steep dip, then need to get into an easy gear quickly to climb the other side? on 2 x 10 you just drop off the big chainring.
  25. Cheers, thanks for input.
