kosmonooit Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) I bunked Science that day Okay let me take a go at trying to explain then. -273 Dec C is called Absolute Zero or 0 Deg on the Kelvin scale. It absolute because it cant get colder than that. Because temperature is actually the movement / vibration of Atoms/molecules, this is the 'Kinetic theory' of heat. Higher temp, more movement. But when they stop moving, that's it. That also the temperature when superconductivity takes place. But you do have point about those cold bombs. I have a gizmo holder that is a plastic sheath / sleeve that protects you from that temperature plunge Edited June 13, 2012 by kosmonooit
jcza Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Even if you're riding tubeless carry a tube, it's not if you'll get a cut but rather when. I also like the flexhose adaptor for the bombs. slowpoke 1
Joe_Cogs Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 some even nutless.. Almost was... was happy with normal shorts until a female friend told me that cycling pants not only make it more comfortable but also support the generals. Soon you may however be tubeless......... One day... bit too expensive for me now

Tumbleweed Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 But you do have point about those cold bombs. I have a gizmo holder that is a plastic sheath / sleeve that protects you from that temperature plunge You can also cover them with pieces of old road tube. petatodd 1
Caerus Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Ok - What is a bomb? And before the comments start flying... yes, I am a noob. Get over it Unless you are a hot girl we cannot help you.
Kranswurm Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 4. Don't buy the spring-type inflators. Could not agree moreLast week on the road bike the bomb was spluttering like cold butane so I took it off the bike and unscrewed the adapter to have a look.BANG the adapter in bits shot across the road and I wa left holding a CO2 fizzer.The pin did not puncture properly.Not sure what the fuss is about holding a cold bomb?
Caerus Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Must admit, I don't carry any spares, tubes etc. with me when I race... but I ride tubeless and have never, touch wood, had to change a tyre! I'm pretty sure I'd manage if the need arose... I may just need to ask for spares from a passer by... I'm sure there will be a que of people waiting to help you out
rouxtjie Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) Not sure what the fuss is about holding a cold bomb?Blixem, I knew you gabs boys were tough but this is a new level...you probably braai without tongs too Edited June 13, 2012 by rouxtjie
kosmonooit Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Mr Venter is that you...I promise it wasn't me that stole the potassium that blew up the boys toilets....promise Yea school science suxed ... if fact everything. And the teachers were useless, at least at Gov schools. I only really started to enjoy learning @ varsity
DirtyFrank Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 4. Don't buy the spring-type inflators. I have never had issues with the spring inflators although i have heard this advise before!
Kranswurm Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Blixem, I knew you gabs boys were tough but this is a new level...you probably braai without tongs too Ha ha.......we dont braai,we eat it raw No,I mean I ride with gloves and the little bit on the fingers is nothingI remember a thread on here that gave various options of getting the frozen bombe loose....like peeing on it?
kosmonooit Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) I'm sure there will be a que of people waiting to help you out no doubt .... But for us mere mortals and fuglies, depends whether you believe in insurance or not. I personally do, so that includes at least one tube, bomb(s), pump. puncher repair kit, and TIG Welder just in case. And has been mentioned, at the back of the field is about survival, and keeping one step ahead of the grim sweaper. We all welcome the chance to stop and help someone else out, means we can take a break. Edited June 13, 2012 by kosmonooit slowpoke 1
Joe_Cogs Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Mr Venter is that you...I promise it wasn't me that stole the potassium that blew up the boys toilets....promise I remember in science class one day, a 20kg oxygen canister fell over and the nozzle was knocked off on the corner of the table as it fell over. It took off like a rocket, smashing through tables and chairs... the teacher was first out the door screaming "everyone for themselves!". Thankfully no one was seriously injured.
rouxtjie Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Ha ha.......we dont braai,we eat it raw No,I mean I ride with gloves and the little bit on the fingers is nothingI remember a thread on here that gave various options of getting the frozen bombe loose....like peeing on it? heheheh what would bear grylls do...
