I've got the garmin c550 and am very happy with it. I've also got the nokia 6110 navigator cellphone (it has a built in GPS) unfortunately I only can compare the 2. the garmin is much better in the calculation of routes than the nokia, but I allways carry my cell with me, so the I have the nokia allways with, even though it is not as good Most of the functionality of the garmin, I dont use (bluetooth, mp3 player, etc) but the one thing that is worthwhile is to make sure that you buy one with the speedtrap database. that will quickly save you the money you pay for the extra functionality. I used the garmin recently in namibia, and it has all the maps (and restaurants) but the nokia did not have it I have recently heard the tomtom gps adverts and it states you can get daily updates.

Cruxie, you better hurry if you want to post the clincher for coolest bikes 2007.... another paint job coming up?

uhm ... Big H ... the local cannondale and campag -fan?

pops. ek bid dat die Here julle onderskraging (en verstaan) sal gee

sorry jason ... those are her brothers. trying to sell us a dud ... and I thought hubbers dont screw hubbers.

Ahem...Jason...somehow lyk daai nie vir my na Michelle nie Jason... wat maak sy op jou bank?? En kom nou...dit lyk nie na enige van jou familie nie miskien is dit Jason se eks meisie ... die een waarvoor hy op 'n uurlikse basis voor betaal het. Ek stem saam, michelle is baie beter

OK, is there going to be a hub cycling club next year? I only want a recreational licence. (possibly another 1 or 2 for the rest of the family) with the recumbent i dont have to worry about seeding, and I might want to do funrides with the rest of the family during the year

just buy the right bike, with bottle opener included. POPS, die belangrikste park tool:

and the couch looks extremely uncomfortable!

the frames i sent was 61 or 62 cms. it was a big box. normal couriers charge by size, except if it is very heavy, then they will charge by weight. you will pay the more expensive one of the 2

i have once sent 2 frames together from richards bay to saldanha through the post office (and received my 1st daccordi back from the recipient the same way). mine cost me r80 including insurance, the other was r50 or r60. both ways took 5 working days each. approximate postage through the post office = r25 for the first kg, r3 for each subsequent kg. insurance local is 2% of the value(but sometimes 1%). i think the parcel weighed 12 kgs ( i packed it very well, with dropout spacers, sponge, cardboard, lots of masking tape) which would have brought the postage to about r60 (25+3*11) with r20 insurance (2% of 1000) you can track the parcel through sapo website hope it helpslowracer2007-12-11 11:44:29

picture of white line crossers ..

oh WC, just shut up and buy the bike allready. come on, I know you want to.

as texas sally jou pm en vertel, gaan jy vir hom/haar of shaunh die geld gee?

... and where is the after-photo of you and the bike ?

the crank removal tool will (after the bolt is removed) screw into the threads in the crank, and push in on the bb axel, forcing it to go out. you can also try a bearing puller

you get a crank removal tool. the bolt you see unscrews from the bottom bracket axel. rather take it to the bikeshop(and a good one at that) as you get shimano and campy removal tools, but also TA and Stronglight (amongst others). the treads are different and you can stuff up the cranks if you use the wrong one

uhm, side picture please

O.K.' date=' is it just because I mix a lot with the tCS vets that I see these things and wonder what the hell it actually refers to?[/quote'] I also wondered if the conversation is still about socks?

Nellie, you know you can change your 8 speed campy brifters to 9 or 10 speed, with only a change of internals? with shimano you have to change the complete brifters.

ok, if you buy a new car, will you trust the 1950's salesman if he kicks the tyres? or do yourself take the vehicle for a drive and see how it handles around the corners? for the engineers here : how much does a aliminum bicycle deflect during normal use. or if you take just a seat tube, not the complete bike. if you put one end in a bench vice and can deflect one end 0.5 centimeter, how long (for how many cycles) will the piece last? hmm, not really that long ... in a triangulated frame, you wont even get that much deflection. which begs the question, wil you be able to feel 0.5 cm deflection? If you have 3 exactly the same bikes, the same geometry, the same setup, and painted so that you cannot see what is is made of ... you wont feel the difference. what does affect the ride quality? the tyre pressure, diameter of the tyre (think 19mm, 21mm, 23mm, 25mm, etc) The diameter of the wheel the geometry of the bike (all the angles of the frame, length of the tubes) The bb height the stem length the width of the handlebars. the trail of the fork. the wheelbase you go and change the fork of a racing bike to a touring bike or tandem fork, and it will make more difference than the frame material. on a racer how much difference does a 19mm compared to a 25mm tyre make. (or a 1in vs 1.75 in slick on a mtb. heck, play around with the tyre pressure) you cannot compare 2 bikes of different frame materials in terms of ride quality, if everything else is not the same.

just dont get a nappyrash about it

Aggenee, ek dog die cannondale lefties is erg, maar die een lyk of hy net een rear triangle het.

i guess you are one of the more colourful characters on thehub...
