Wow, that is cheap! How long will the 2xAA batteries last!!!!! Hope it arrives, never like gmail addresses!

I can go from about 4ish, if they are leaving Paulshoff at 5.30 we will make it easy.

Would like to know what you got too and maybe what the damage was and where from?

Available most days if you want to go from this end, Fratelli's to 12th Ave/N1 and back?

What goes on tour, stays on tour!!

Thanks guys for a fun night ride, my first, and thanks to Slick for the light. It's so much more fun when you guys actually turn up!! Will be 'light' shopping along with Smolster. Oh, and thanks again for the free pizza and beer, ha, ha!!

Delta Park Forecast 15.25- Overcast, light rain has passed, clear towards Emmarentia, brightening!

Ho, ho, I can see I won't get away from that one! Work from home by Delta Park.

On the Spruit......rain has gone already!!

Googled you all, so no getting away today!!

Don't worry guys, met lots of OTHER people..........asking me if I was ok!

No worries guys did my own ride, will see you for the early group as I don't have a light.

Boo hoo......stood up on my first date! Was at Fratelli''s 17.15-45, no one pitched. ???? Better luck tomorrow.

Is there a group going from Fratelli's at 5-5.30ish today, if I can tag along? Will be in Delta until then.

Mike, I can always get you one for the Spruit, if you honour us with your presence.

What sort of time do you guys ride? Start/finish time, from Fratelli's? Is a light essential?

Simon, will you let me know if you are riding and I will join up, cheers BBN.

Before you do anything, make sure you have all the bearings and bushes checked and/or changed, especially with a carbon frame! If a pivot jams your frame is toast.

Anyone riding the Spruit during the week from Conrad/Delta Park area from about 4.30 pm onward, keen to join up..........on a trail bike! Cheers, Norm

PYGA...........done! Well here she is and ready to roll. Basic build is; - 2012 XT 2x10, 39/26 and Sram XX 11-36 cassette with XT Race pedals - Avid Elixir CR with Shimano XT 160/180 rotors - 2013 Fox 32 Talas CTD 120mm, 3 position remote - ZTR Arch EX on Chris King hubs, Ritchey WCS Shield tyres - Chris King headset - Thomson X4 stem and setback seatpost - FSA K-Force light XC riser bar - Selle Italia Flite XC gel flow saddle The Merida slap guard and bottle cage will go asap!

Agree with The V on the welding, the weld of the additional support at the seat/top tube junction is poor and might be fine for painting but not on this bare frame. The fact that it is half ground and half not does not help, would have left the weld visible like elsewhere. Decals.......mmmm, think they went RAW finish on them too. Must say, once you start kitting the frame out you do not notice and it is a very nice looking bike. Can't wait to ride mine. Suppose it always a learning curve with a new product and such a small company.

Lots of info guys, thanks. The tyres are Ritchey WCS tubeless ready and should go up to 4.5bar easily. I normally ride my 26" RaceKing UST at about 3.8bar! I have seen plenty of these tyres on the same rims. Will take them to my LBS on Mon for a check. Cheers, Norm

Thanks. Is there any trick to seat a tyre before you pump?

I know, getting the headset fitted then we build!
