dude welcome back. have a look in the classifieds, was a great stumpjumper for 15k, nice comfy good all round bike

what bicycle?

a 2010 merida ninty six 3000 frame was sold on here beginning of the year for R6000 including rear shock

welcome to the Hub! I found this a while back when searching for the same as you: http://www.mtb-marathon.co.uk/training/training.php a lot to read but gives you a good base to work from

I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it

simple, bike companies dont make money from second hand sales, they want us to buy new bikes. Not only in the cycling industry either, many other sports based equipement will only carry a warrenty for the original buyer. money makes the world go round!

1. You may not have an opinion....EVER!!! If you need an opinion, somebody will give it to you 2. People dont take the sales of body parts seriously! (ps. still got that liver if anybody is looking) 3. NEVER EVER put shooting pictures up!!! ill report you!

NO NO!! you cant take it back now!! I already showed the boss and organised extra riding time!!

this might help

oh yes. good thinking, like that clear 3M stuff?

I am taking delivery of my first "plastic" mtb on Friday/Saturday. What are the do's and dont's of owning a carbon bike? Any special cleaning instructions? Transport? read a while back about people saying dont use the normal hanger racks to transport carbon bikes? Will be insuring for full amount

Sportsmanship??? in the most dope filled sport in the world???

I think...........the HUB was hacked......................and this thread was not started by the real Chris Willemse........ah, the plot thickens...

check Gumtree and cash converters. I found a Polar s725 brand new with ir dongle for a grand!

good points!! To be honest, without races what is the point of training every weekend? sure the social aspect, but I would like to use all the training I have been doing in a race setting

My view, without trying to sound pompus and arrogant: I have no problem in paying R200 for being out in nature with a bunch of like minded people, pushing myself for a few hours on my bike, having a laugh and moan. If i did not race on the weekends I would be at the pub spending a hell of a lot more than R200, that I can promise! Am I going to go set up my own paths, organise watering points, get marshals and what ever else goes into these events............NO WAYS!! I would rather just pay my R200 and ride, and then go home! But I guess if, like some of you have more than one rider you paying for then it does get costly.

its bike like this that makes me wish i weighed a little more than a fart and not my hippo weight! beautiful bike!!!

from cranks to shaved brazilians!! hahahaa

Thats good, I was hopeing it was something like this, their store was nice and big and thought WOW, has this really hit them this hard they have had to move into this little space!

this is what I cant find, what BB the 2009 uses

It is the FSR

Will i be able to put a XX crank in a 2009 S-works stumpy? I cant seem to find what type of BB the 2009 stumpy uses? any help? cheers

i agree, he is dam good, remember when skulk went through the same patch, giving away penalties like a short skirted girl gives her happiness away on point rd! he reminds me of Lennie from the book "of mice and men".....an arb comment I know but those who have read the book or watched the movie will know where I am going with it!
