Thermophage

I gave up looing locally and ordered the 42T+16T and the Rad cage from them last night...it shipped this mornign and they say should be delivered anytime from 26 September onwards. I'll try to remember to let you know when (or whether) it arrives Super excited!

lol I ride a Specialized Enduro...a little crash into a puddle cannot hurt it Although I did find out later that I bent the stem...I think on this crash. I don't crash as often as I should...I'm obviously not pushing hard enough

Hahahaha...sadly it was lost on the uphill portion, so I was not recording then... As a consolation prize here's a fall from when I still lived in George

Went for a walk today at lunch time and found the guy. Thanks, Thread closed

Thanks DJR, I will go check with them tomorrow

Hi guys I rode Tokai today for the first time and my freaking GoPro broke off the handlebar mount...I am almost certain it was on the first few bits of singletrack as you go through the gate and which is on your left...So if anyone finds it please let me know It is the original Black Edition in the waterproof case and has a 32 GB SD card in it (which should have some climbing vids on if you watch them). Any help much appreciated. Thanks, Cuan

I must agree on the Specialized Enduro. I been riding the 2010 model since August and it simply RULES! I ride DH with it AND XC. I even rode Karoo to Coast to it and it really does climb well. The only "problem" is that it has no big ring upfront, meaning topping 60 km/hr is very difficult You will in no way be disappointed with this bike. The 2011 one has many different models, including one with a coil rear shock for harder hits. You can pick them up second hand for "relatively" cheap, but new you should get away (after bargaining) with a lil under R30 000... Anyhoo, my 2c worth

Yep, here it is My link

www.easygadget.co.za give em 2 days

think the race weekend is the weekend of 10Dec Cap? Any idea if it's open to anyone? Would be fun to ride a new track

Thanks guys Will check them out.

lol lol...fraternity here...does MAX 10 people count?

ok guys, link is up again... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wanff53Lxbw Seriously quick this

Oops...I meant to say "THE next weekend THAT I am in CT"

lmfao Next weekend I am in CT, I'd dig to ride Tokai with you guys sometime And we can make Cap pedal the whole way...I will supply the Red Bull

dude...the Life Cycles trailer just made me ... jizz in my pants Man...I need to ride more often...although I rode thu, fri, sat, sun and yesterday

well "lank" cheap compared to the usual price of it Maybe I just ride my current bike into the ground first At least I can still pedal uphill with it

Ye I saw that too, relatively cheap ye. Pity I need everything though. Was pondering that Mavic DeeMax wheelset on here the other day as a start Was lank cheap and never used.

ok...so i reckon we order from here... http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Specialized-Demo-8-II-Mountain-Bike-2011-Full-Suspension-MTB_38755.htm and ask for it two be shipped in pieces (avoid full bike import tax) then still get it for WAAAAAAY cheaper than RSA. Still pretty pricey though. But considering that fork alone is like R15000 undiscounted it's not THAT bad

i wonder if my LBS will be able to organise something.... maybe I'll ask them tomorrow if I go round at lunch. I can;t stop watching Follow Me bro...I think I can just loop the first section forever and never be unimpressed or stoked!

You guys realize that a Specialized Demo 8 II "only" costs like R42 K in the USA... ! When it gets here the LBS will prolly charge you like R60K!!!.....IF you can even get one in the country

Yeah I see so... Usually it is available straight after upload and processing is pretty much same time. Hopefully it'll be up later...but man it was SERIOUSLY quick...his line coming into the section was silly as well...I would not have even thought it could have been a line... Now I just might consider trying it But maybe my bike will break before that...already managed to scratch the poo outa the left stanchion tube on Sunday on second race run

wattup all... one more lil video from the weekend... This is Johan Potgieter (hope I spelled that right) hitting the steep n slippery rock chute on the track on Sunday... scarily quick, especially if you have ridden this thing yourself http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wanff53Lxbw

tonnes of places man... check out here and ask the guys. they always seem keen for new people the downhill thread

Yeah, day was rad, just wish there were more photo's... I know there were guys who sem to have gotten some awesome pics of me, but to get hold of them /sigh... If anyone has pics of number 18C, lemme know
