The Drongo Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Nothing. You need both nuts to ride SS. Actually, those are like gears. More than one is a waste!
Wyatt Earp Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 This puts a bit of a damper on the SA one Not at all, the SS community have already labeled it a hijack attempt.
The Drongo Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Can just see the back end of any Ities at the SS Battle of Spioenkop.... "...looka Ma, no 'ands!!"
Danger Dassie Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Not at all, the SS community have already labeled it a hijack attempt. I hear so, still even though I'm not a Single Speeder felt it necessary to say something to this tool! Wether or not it stays up is another thing entirely. "The rest of the world being Europe only? ... You need to remove the blindfold my friend. The single speed community and cycling as a whole is bigger than just Europe or the Americas even.What about those in Asia, Africa, Australasia etc ... Should those be excluded and expected to always carry the expense of traveling to locations in Europe only?It's ironic that you make a statement "keep on smiling - Singlespeeding is too stupid to take it too serious!""Nothing against the official sswc that will be held by the south african crew"Which contradict your 'Fick Off' tirade. There is nothing respectful or smiling about that.The only occupy here, is to occupy your own ego.Enjoy it kid. "
TYGA Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Reality is that it'll be a lot cheaper and easier for the European riders to get to Italy than Winterton so it'll def affect the numbers.
The Drongo Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Reality is that it'll be a lot cheaper and easier for the European riders to get to Italy than Winterton so it'll def affect the numbers. With all their Euros? Shame, poor them. Their loss. Edited February 21, 2012 by The Drongo
Danger Dassie Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Reality is that it'll be a lot cheaper and easier for the European riders to get to Italy than Winterton so it'll def affect the numbers. With about 12 member on that blog site, it don't look like it.
Wyatt Earp Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Reality is that it'll be a lot cheaper and easier for the European riders to get to Italy than Winterton so it'll def affect the numbers.The bottom feeders can do the Italian event, the rest who have been following the real SSWC will travel, no doubt.
Eldron Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Booked and paid - now to get training!!! +1. This is about the only downside of having "non UCI sanctioned" World Chapionships - they can get hijacked without fear of repurcussion. Personally I think the Italian version will flop - all the "real" SSWCers will try their best to attend the SA event - with good reason - Grant and co have attended mutiple SSWC's and are down with the core of the SSWC community. Personally I think the hijack is against the ethos of SSWCing. Poor form. Bring on Winterton - entry paid, bike ready, costume planned and excitement building....
JarradVZ Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Also paid up and excited.This Italian hijack attempt is a disgrace! Us Saffers will have fun regardless but I was looking forward to meeting loads of foreigners and showing off our country a bit.
deanbean Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Booked and paid, now to find other SS'ers in Border to ride the Xolrha Mountains with me. Looking forward to the party.... and the riding. The SSIT lowjack winner won't be able to receive The Tat anyway, there's only one SSWC.
jcmeyerSS Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Right MattyEMD and I are in booked and paid for the tented option gonna be legendary
Kona Kula Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 I am in, paid. Got two crazy mates coming with too. It is going to be a crazy one.
Eldron Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 Good to see we're getting some cyclingnews.com airtime!!!! South Africa welcomes Singlepseed Worlds http://cdn3.media.cyclingnews.futurecdn.net//2012/04/24/2/sswc_newsletter_pic2_220.pngSinglespeed Worlds 2012 Logoview thumbnail galleryBeer shortcuts among promises made by organizersThe town of Winterton, South Africa will host the 2012 Singlespeed World Championships on September 29. While the majority of the field will be there to dress up in batty outfits and party all night long after the race, some will be there for the beer shortcuts, a signature of this annual leapfrogging global event.Some will come to win the rights to host SSWC2013 in their country. Some will be there to get the tattoo reserved for the winners and yet others will simply come to make friends and experience the awe inspiring riding of the KwaZulu Natal bushveld.There are no UCI points on the line and no qualification procedure. The only rule is that bikes are limited to one gear.Organizers have said that local registration thus far has been strong, and they are hoping to attract more international riders to keep the event's global vibe strong. Entries are limited to 1000 riders.They are running the event as a not-for-profit. "Besides covering hard costs and giving up our time for free, any extra loot we make is going straight into the immediate community; not a back pocket in sight!" said a statement on their website.The 2010 Singlespeed Worlds were held in New Zealand. Last year's Worlds were held in Ireland, where South Africa won the right to host this year's event.For more information, visit www.sswc2012.co.za.Follow Cyclingnews on Twitter for the very latest coverage of events taking place in the cycling world - twitter.com/cyclingnewsfeed
