  1. My bike is what keeps me sane. Work drives me bonkers. When I've had a rough day I get on my bike and ride till I feel a million times better. Shot for the compliment, my signature means alot to me personally.
  2. I take my repair just one step futher. Where the patch I put 2 smooth pieces of pinewood and clamp it in a vice grip and leave it over night. Over kill?
  3. How about a black and white spiral?
  4. Yeah happened to me in a race. Black dude on a road bike with suicide shifters came flying past me up a hill. Luckily it flattend out after that and I could use my bigger gears to pwer past him again. Saw him after and had a good laugh with him.
  5. Have you spoken to Annie or Melissa? They have always been extremely heplful to me. Phone them directly. I know they will help you. I also rate shova above argus. Lickliy I'm sponsered for races so never have to worry about things like this.
  6. Got back on my bike saturday. And loved every second of it. That was after 10 days as well
  7. HAve met a few, stopped and helped. Hopefully they paid attention. Maybe I'm wrong here. Got asked to stop and help a lady once. Asked her if she knew how to change it,she said yup but doesn't want to get her hands dirty. So I clipped in and left her. She was in a safe area. Just think it's damn cheeky to do that
  8. Ha ha that would be good hill training.
  9. Coming upto PE and of the month. Is it safe to cycle towards the Willows ? Don'y know PE well enough to go find any other routes far from my hotel
  10. Yup saw that. Always keep your eyes on stalks when riding in town.
  11. No need to convince ourselves, we know we need it!!!!
  12. Tankman if I could afford thee bike I would buy one and fit it with red!!!! Love the Pinarello brand just out of my reach and not shy to say it.
  13. Condolencesto the family. If you guys organise a awareness ride I will travel up from EAst London to support. Taxi's are murder weapons and the JMPD are just a useless bunch of KFC eating dick heads. Speed traps are all they can do. The argus was a awareness ride but now it has just become a money making venture.
  14. Hell just for the frame set? At least I could put SRAM on and not be shot down in flames! Beautiful bikes. Almost fell on my back last year when I saw the dogmas in the flesh so to speak. Stunning bikes.
  15. Crack is on the ball. Forgot about the adjuster. 1000000000 points for you!
  16. Synap forte, wonderful things they are.
  17. Maybe I didn't write what I meant. Not loose as in it can fall off no prob, but properly adjusted etc and fastned. It's these stupid painkillers I'm on.
  18. The guys at esmero cycling club. The mud has been slung. Forget about Ash, show your club members what has been said, and stress the point that they're riding on the road needs to be beyond reproach. The big dude that is known to have a bad temper(your words) boot him out the club. Wouldn't want him in my club. my 2c
  19. Not sure about the gears thing being a roadie. But your helmet should not be super tight on your head. Loose is always beter thantight.
  20. Fuji is a fong kong copy paste. Raleigh much better
  21. Think we might have different mtb riders here in el. I greet the unfriendly buggers when I pass them, lo and behold the mud plugged buggers don't greet me back. Pisses me off so much I throw my skinny latte at them!!! Uncultured heathens
  22. Staying at home staring at my bike after my op. No riding for a week!!!!!
  23. Maybe I'm alone in this. I ALWAYS stop at red lights(I'm a roadie) I always greet the mtb riders when they're on the road. I always keep as far left as possible when it's safe for me. And I always keep my bird finger hidden, don't stand a chance against a car with a road rager inside it. Bottom line obey the rules of the road.
  24. biggest problem in SA is the K53 driving test. It does not teach you how to drive. When I passed my licence I had access to my dads M3(210kw). No some please explain to me how driving a midge(maybe 50kw) at 40kmh prepares me for the speed and power of a M3? Needless to say my dad did not let me drive it alone for a long time. K53 is a stupid useless and dumb test.
