  1. I believe you can do any of the Allen Carr items (Course, Book, DVD, etc) as the message is the same. I just read the book as I found a PDF on the interwebs The method is very simple, but you need to go through all the motions (read, etc) before you will actually realize what is correct and what is wrong. There is a bit of bad psychology in "it is bad for your health, etc", but this is not any major topic. He dispels all myths like "It is a Habit". He explains why you must not take any medication, patches or any NRT's. He explains why cold turkey is the ONLY way. The bottom line is that he makes you realize that it is an ADDICTION to Nicotine. No different to any other addiction. Ask yourself the question "will I be happy and continue as is if addicted to Heroin"? While reading the book and smoking. I drag a puff, the I drag a puff of air and realized that I could not taste anything different. If your mind becomes clear, it is EASY. It was so easy that my wife still cannot understand how I could read a book and just stop. I stopped Cold and in the 6 months did not once had any craving. Check out this stats for some more motivation.
  2. Saturday at the Lionman, I was on exactly 6 months. After 25 years, it took long to really start feeling a difference. I believe I will only really see huge differences in about another 6 months. If you still on it, read the book from Allen Carr or PM me your email for a copy.
  3. Nope, I was in F batch and my bike is green. The commentators was chirping the most about the Pyga's. The only chirps that I got was every 5th person saying "Nice Bike". I had a Giant Anthem X 29er dual suss before and must say that nothing beats this suspension. Even though it was still set/pumped too hard, it outperformed the Giant by a country mile. It takes all the big bumps, but the most impressive was how it absorbed the small bumps. Going over graspolle is a breeze.
  4. I am doing the Lionman on Saturday as a first event with the Pyga. Will now specifically listen for chirps and report back.
  5. Some detail on how I did the cable routing. Thanks to Robodog for advise. Front Derailleur Cable mounted on left side to prevent rubbing from rear triangle during suspension travel. Rear Brake Hose. Rear Derailleur Cable. Rear Cable and Hose running below downtube.
  6. My Pyga Oneten29 build is complete. Ergofit done at Torq Zone.
  7. Maybe this help someone in the future. I have removed the air from the rear shock. The BB to Rear Axle length increase as the travel goes down and continues in a linear format. When the max travel is reached, it is exactly 3 pins on a chain longer. For a Hardtail the standard is. Route the chain over the two biggest sprockets while bypassing all derailleurs. Pull tight. If you use a master link, break at the red point. If not and you join the chain, break between red and blue. Chain length should be the shortest needed for maximum travel. At no load, the chain length is the shortest for the Oneten29. If you use a master link, break at the blue point as it is plus 2 pins and plus 3 pins for max travel, shortening to the nearest small link. If you join the chain without a master link, break at the yellow point. NB. The other end must be a small link as in the picture as a starting point.
  8. Can anyone assist with the correct determining of chain length for the Pyga 110. I am running 38/24 and 11/36. Does the standard method work where you take the chain over the 2 big sprockets while bypassing the rear derailleur, pull tight, add 2 links plus master link, work? Or does the BB to rear axle length increase during suspension travel, which warrants a "longer" chain?
  9. DHL is the Postal Service in Germany and they bring it to SA. Once in SA, EMS South Africa delivers it. I suggest you use a physical address and not a PO Box. Ordered Monday 22 June 20h00, Received delivery on Tuesday 30 June at 14h00.
  10. My assembly has begun
  11. Add www.bike24.com to the top of your list.
  12. www.bike24.com can be added to the top of your list! Prices extremely good and they only use DHL. Extremely happy with my dealings with them.
  13. Anyone with this type of frame? What have you found to be the best cable routing? Routing that will cause the least cable rub on the frame. It will be appreciated if you can take some detailed pics. I am only worried about the rear derailleur and rear brake. This frame now have option above and below the down tube.
  14. I need to select between 70mm and 60mm Stem with a 35mm OD 780mm Handlebar, which one would you say, I must start with?
  15. More detail please.
