Hello Andrew Thanks

ARE you Fit & Healthy? Going back to when in my Prime, Lol Some people may have read this in the other Thread. I am writing this for Cancer Awareness. Here I thought I was following a Healthy lifestyle. × Seldom having a drink × Being a non smoker × Following a Healthy diet × My training program was not to Strenuous Because of my Cycling, there were always opportunities for me to have a Medical check up done. (Last Year November) Yet a year later I received Heartbreaking news relating to Prostate Cancer. With all the discomforts associated with Bladder, Colon and Prostate, life can still be Bearable. For me it was a life changing moment. Life is very Precious. I may have been lucky. Waiting for my next Check Up REPEAT I may be the lucky one. Cancer Awareness Go for a Check.

Um, That is the time I arrived Home. Trying to manage two jobs gets very difficult when your transport gives you troubles.

I will be putting it through the Ultimate test. Power cycle, hard and fast. Thanks

Let's Ride? That old rim tape was totally perished under the insulation tape. Let's see.

I did check the rim. I got some New rim tape Today, fit it tonight. Then we will see.

Pic of the rim with insulation tape.

There is nothing to cause this on the Rim. I have put extra insulation tape over the rim tape. Looking to get New rim tape, shops don't have.

Double

It seems to be from the Rim.The line /Tear is on the underneath side of the tube. Twice a spot say a hand from the Valve. Twice a spot opposite the Valve. The tubes are the correct size. The tyre is seated correctly. I don't get tube caught in fitting. The line/ Tear stays in the center of the Rim all the way round.

Hello Guys MTB is new to me, always been a roadie. I have Slicks on a Cruiser, for commuting. The Rear wheel forms a line along the length of the tube. The tube starts to Tear on that line. The tyres are 26 x 2.125. 1. I have tried different Tubes 2. I have tried different tyre pressure's, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 What do you Suggest?

Oom Chris Told me the Sale is off.

Looking back at "FRAIL" in the News. City of Cape Town > English > Honouring the elderly Honouring the elderly https://www.capetown.gov.za/en/Pages/Honouringtheelderly.aspx In a brave and triumphant bid to bring attention to the plight of the elderly, Cape Town resident David Kleynhans has cycled from Cape Town to Knysna and back again – despite suffering from a hereditary vein disorder. Kleynhans, who has thrombosis, was welcomed by Councillor Grant Pascoe, Mayco member for Social Services (Disabled, Destitute, Gender & Social Upliftment) in central Cape Town at the end of his 52 hour journey. “We can all learn from David,” enthused Pascoe. “His drive, determination and enthusiasm are inspirational and his focus on the elderly serves to remind us that we as a city need to focus on people rather than things” Each leg of Kleynhans’ journey took just over 24 hours to complete. Besides having no sleep, this self-sponsored crusader for elderly completed the entire ride wearing the compression stockings that are necessary to control his condition, and hasn’t suffered a single stiff muscle, although he “knows they’re coming” he said with a laugh. “We have nothing but admiration for Kleynhans’ effort,” said Pascoe. “Many elderly people are marginalised from mainstream society, and their contribution to society is often unacknowledged. As the Provincial Government provides old age homes, the City uses its pensioner rates rebates and indigent policy to help the aged. In terms of the indigent policy, pensioners (and anyone else) earning less than R3000 per month can apply for a 100% rebate on their rates, while the rates rebate ceiling for pensioners has recently been increased by an extra R1000 per month, meaning that senior citizens aged 60 or above with a total household income of R8000 can apply for the rebate, no matter where they live.” The rebate is implemented on a sliding scale and has thus far benefitted more than 19 000 pensioners. Council recently approved a R37 million budget for this purpose, which should benefit more people in need. The City also provides old age homes with facilities for cultural events whenever it can, at no cost. “We try to encourage the aged in our specially set up athletics events as well,” said Pascoe. In addition, funding is made available via ward allocations. Kleynhans has pledged to continue contributing as well. “There are an estimated 500 old age homes in Cape Town,” he said. Although this particular trip was aimed at raising awareness and funds for two of them (Kendrick House, a home for the aged in Cape Town, and Vermont Old Age Home in Knysna), he said that he would repeat the trip for others in the future.

Looking back at "FRAIL" in the News. Cyclist dons Santa beard for the elderly http://www.knysnaplettherald.com/news/News/General/71108/Cyclist-dons-Santa-beard-for-the-elderly http://www.georgeherald.com/img/acltn20140219-175502-124_u0.jpgDavid Kleynhans, regularly undertakes cycling tours to raise funds and awareness for the plight of the elderly.KNYSNA NEWS - A Milnerton waiter, David Kleynhans who regularly saves his earnings to take on cycling tours to benefit various old-age homes, cycled through Knysna on Tuesday, February 4 on his way back to Cape Town from Port Elizabeth. "I'm using my bicycle as my messenger," says Kleynhans, "to gather support for those who nurtured me and to give back to those who gave to me." Kleynhans, who has a blood disorder and thrombosis in one leg, is cycling in support of FRAIL (Friendship, Relatives, Acceptance, Involvement, Love), an organisation that cares for the aged. His latest expedition has been labelled 'The Great Trek' and as part of his fundraising journey he completed the Herald Cycle Tour in Port Elizabeth. On route he is accommodated by people who read about his vision on the cycling website, The Hub SA. Kleynhans cycled to Heidelberg on Wednesday, February 5, followed by the final 280km stretch to Cape Town. For this trip he had to get permission to take ten days off work. "I like the restaurant business because you work flexi-time and when I need to take off or get ready for a big race, I'm able to do that." He says the cycling from Heidelberg back to Cape Town was the toughest part because there are so many mountains. "I wear this Santa-beard as a gesture to elderly person - letting them know that I have empathy with them and that I want to share my love with those who have been forgotten. I have had such a fantastic upbringing and I look at every elderly person as someone who helped a younger person become who they are in life today. This is my way of saying thank you." (He grew up in Cradock and Durbanville.) Locally, Kleynhans has visited Vermont Old Age Home for almost ten years whenever he visits Knysna to participate in the cycling race during the Knysna Oyster Festival. "It's my favourite race!" he smiles. "Its not to far and it offers a really nice package deal for the cyclists." According to Kleynhans, his desire to do something for the elderly came into focus as he cycled through the country and found that old people were often neglected and disowned by their communities. "I was hurt, sad and felt bitterly out of place by their ordeal, hence this initiative." Having started cycling ten years ago in 2004, Kleynhans is an accomplished cyclist who is using his talent to raise both funds and awareness for the elderly. The 42-year-old also disclosed that, despite not having a family of his own, he has vowed to live a lifestyle of compassion and caring for senior citizens. "My life resonates around giving back to the community and offering services to the needy in my neighbourhood. For me this fills me, and whenever I ride past the smiling elders of my community I pray that this could be a continuous gesture. My cycling profession has taught me to share, smile and appreciate the little things which people tend to overlook." Kleynhans has participated in cycling events and worked in Bermuda and the Mediterranean as a barman and chef. When busying himself with fundraising tours, he averages between 11 and 15 hours in the saddle per day.

Looking back at "FRAIL" in the News. Cape cyclist’s 1 600km trip for the elderly http://www.iol.co.za/lifestyle/a-journey-of-love-and-acceptance-1679357 Cape rider David Kleynhans will ride from his home in Welgemoed in Cape Town to Durban, covering the 1 600km trip in seven days, arriving in Durban in time to start the 105km aQuellé Tour Durban road race on April 28, after which he will ride home again. While the 42-year-old is very fit, the trip is more about raising money and drawing attention to the difficulties facing the elderly through his FRAIL charity. “This will be my first aQuellé Tour Durban,” said Kleynhans, who has worked all over the world in the hospitality industry. “After I started to cycle I saw the need to support others. Over the last 10 years, I have done one or two tours a year, sometimes three tours in a year,” Kleynhans said. He grew up in the Eastern Cape before moving to Cape Town as a teenager. He spent time in the care of the elderly and was moved by their plight. “Through family I was shown the heartache that some seniors have to live with,” says Kleynhans. “I was shown love, and now I wish to share it with our seniors who cared for me when I was a toddler. “I am able to care for myself, but who cares for those less fortunate to have any family members?” he added. Kleynhans’ FRAIL (Friendship, Relatives, Acceptance, Involvement, Love) programme will benefit from his fund-raising programme that will be driven by sponsorships and the sale of raffle tickets. “I am asking people to sponsor me four cents per kilometre – that’s R65 one way,” said Kleynhans. “Every R65 sponsorship will get an entry into the raffle.”
