  1. Hey bro, no worries My bike came with Jagwire housings and cables, but they in black and I basically just want the green housing for deraileur's and then the hydraulic housing for brakes... So was just wondering if people have found other alternatives for the ones I mentioned above. And I have been happy with he Jagwire cables thus far, but I can only compare back to whatever my old Silverback Nabraska had on it (I don't even know what cables it had)
  2. Thank you thank you Will be doing that
  3. Howdie Hubbers I am wanting to get new deraileur cables as well as hydraulic hose... As for the derauleir cable kit I was thinking of getting the Jagwire in Merida Green (my bike is black, so green cables would look sweet). Now has anyone used these and are you guys happy with the setup and performance? Can you suggest any other coloured cable kits? Was going to get it here as their price is good... http://www.buycycle.co.za/buyparts/cable-kits/jagwire-en/jagwire-ripcord-derailleur-cable-kit-jagwire.html Anyhoo, as for the new hydraulic hose (I have Avid Elixir brakes) I was going to get a few metres of this stuff in Lime Green to match... http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=2938 Can anyone tell me if I can just swap out the hose on the brakes or whether I need to get any other parts as well? Also, similarly...can anyone suggest an alternative coloured hydraulic hose/kit? Thanks guys, appreciated
  4. dcalitz...I think you are onto something there...but even if we need to pay a deposit then that'll be ok as well... I would still be more interested in a bike though... And those prices are about half (roughly) of what the groupset goes for on BuyCycle (and they are usually lank cheap)
  5. geez...meant the bikes...but considering the price i might consider the groupset too ok, should be off for the eve b4 i spend my savings meant to pay for my car keep us posted. nn
  6. if it is real i'd happily go halvies with u
  7. lol...thats exactly what i wanted to say
  8. Meh...looked over the "minimum of 10" part So, we just need another 9 ppl And we get them to ship the bikes in pieces as "BIKE PARTS"...supposedly there is minimal customs duties on parts
  9. Jeez...$4000 NEGOTIABLE for this! http://id109776539.trustpass.alibaba.com/product/109553636-101579890/Cannondale_Flash_Carbon_Ultimate.html
  10. I just sent off an email to get a final price on a Specialized Enduro...just to test the water. Looked up the site ... http://www.alexa.com...s;1/alibaba.com Seems legit for the most part...Suppose you just gotta watch the supplier... So my theory is...even if you get NAILED with import duties you still save a bucketload But...could be a bit of a gamble
  11. fook me! Maybe we should buy 10 and make a tidy profit
  12. Just bought one of these...Fox Flux...VERY happy with it Ventilates well and is rather light (for me anyway) and offers some back of head protection too. The fit is really great and so is the mechanism for fitting it to your head. http://www.buycycle....t-l-xl-fox.html It arrived yesterday...they are usually over R1 000.
  13. Come on guys...TimH is right...when it comes down to it (and it is not a weight issue) you HAVE to go for the prettier one R150 difference over a year or two lifespan if you look after it aint bad CWC has a range of PG990's in diff colours to match everyones colour scheme
  14. Hmmm...in that price range...tis difficult, but I think there are a few good Mongoose bikes in that range. But fork out for any Specialized and u will be HAPPY HAPPY
  15. Guys...best deal out there at the moment... http://www.buycycle.co.za/buygear/helmets/fox-en-2-3-4-5/fox-flux-charcoal-helmet-l-xl-fox.html I just bought one and it's arriving today... They sell for R1000 at Due South (don't know where else to find them). Really good helmet and feels good on your head as well (tried it at Due South before buying). Cheers, Cuan
  16. hehehe...ya that'd be 4king funny Maybe I should just go get a scale...been toying with the idea for a while...just scared to get on it or I might feel need to do K2C more often And I think ONCE was enough...I think I was the only I.D.10.t riding it on a bike with 160mm travel front and rear that can't lock out Hehehehe...but made it interesting. You see the post in the Karoo to Coast topic of the old oomie doing it on a road bike with mtb tyres? Super respect for that!
  17. Crack...yeah it is there now being services after Karoo to Coast...managed to warp my front rotor as well...hope it aint too bad as the 203mm ones are pricey I hear gtracing...how the hell did I not think of that !%^$!# ?? hehehe...subtract Physics 3 from my BSc now Just need to actually get a bathroom scale Thanks all
  18. Hey guys, I ride a 2010 Specialized Enduro SL Comp... Now I want to weigh mine, but don't have a scale...so I was wondering f anyone else has one that they have weighed? Bathroom scale will not work too well, but perhaps a fishing scale might...maybe I should make a turn at the local tackle shop instead of the LBS Anyhoo...any n all comments welcome
  19. ok, fair enough answers...but then why 26" in the FIRST place for those klunkers, and why 29"for the road bikes? We get that it is a standard now because of those old bikes, but I wonder why the originals were that size...? hmmm...maybe time to go Google
  20. Awesome man, thanks, will def keep it in mind next time i go visit the lady down that side (in October) Hope I can get some time off to go ride, but tis tough when u only get to see her like 1 weekend a month
  21. There a DH track out at Paarl Rock? :| Never seen it out there...It there in the reserve place, or on the other side? (soz, not from CT, so only been there a few times)
  22. hehehe... Yeah...I'm still VERY far from being able to do that
  23. whats the diff between the V12's and V8's? I can't imagine having more grip than the V8'd give
  24. Just watched Red Bull Rampage 2008 the other night ... WOW WOW WOW
