MONS Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 More like, you do the crime, you play mechanic Im ready for this one. Just need to change the rear tire on the bike. Need something less grippy You sure you wanna do that? I heard the last section is very loose - maybe you want a bit of grip?
Danger Dassie Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Afraid I'll be Eshowe over the weekend, so I'm out.
DR ◣◢ Posted October 24, 2012 Author Posted October 24, 2012 You sure you wanna do that? I heard the last section is very loose - maybe you want a bit of grip? Id rather suffer for 10% than slog for 90%. MONS 1
Nancy Drew Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Thanks Mons, I saw those directions, but it doesn't make much sense to me... "From Jhb North, take the N1 South" Why? Will figure out a route when I'm home... The reason I did that was to get everyone from the N1 onto Hendrik Potgieter, so if you live in Fourways (for example) and were taking the N1, you'd have to first head South to get off at 14th.... if that makes any sense. Obviously there are loads of other ways to get there..... if you know the area
Nancy Drew Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 These are the directions posted on the last ride - I would also like the correct GPS co-ordinates as they dont seem to work in that format. Sorry about that - not sure about directons from your end of the world. I went via Van Gaalen the last time so never followed these directions. I just figured people used them? Will post correct GPS co-ordinates later - they are on a friends Nav system. One of the ladies that did the last ride approached me and said that the GPS co-ords were "spot on"......... now I know very little about GPS (I'm still from the mapbook era), so not sure why it would be spot on for some and not others?

Nancy Drew Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 If it's a 6h30 start, I might be able to join you guys, but just for a bit. I'll have to turn around at about 7h45 wherever we happen to be.... need to be back in Joburg early for my child's dance competition DR ◣◢, MONS, Dirty Sanchez and 1 other 4

Need something less grippy I am still in the dark ages here ................I only got one set of evertything that came with the bike....if its too grippy or too loose I got no choices....... You are fortunate to have collected a variety of options for yourself....I have to make do as it came from the LBS.....or spend much more money on options for myself..

You are fortunate to have collected a variety of options for yourself....I have to make do as it came from the LBS.....or spend much more money on options for myself.. Collected over many years and through lots of lucky breaks. Replaced the drivetrain on the bike last night for the first time since I bought the bike new. With the money saved over the years on careful maintenance and by some smart shopping I went from Deore/XT to XT/XTR which again will last a very long time with proper maintenance. Wayne68 1
Wayne68 Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Screw it, lets do this. Will work out the logistics later. The fixie needs to go play in the city again. It's been too long. I like this!!!!!
