  1. I fully agree with the advice scotty has given. does this budget include riding kit? (helmet, gloves, shoes, pants etc) Other advice I can give is get the best helmet and cycling shorts/bib you can afford and stay away from Game/Makro type bikes we were all in your shoes once and most of the people on here love helping out the new guys! welcome to the hub and MTB!
  2. My self, have run this setup tubliss for over 3 years with no issues.
  3. 3 "D" ....angle ?
  4. ok i have been looking at this for twenty minutes now, DIBS on the first clue seriously, help us out with a clue please
  5. Hi Wendell Thanks for the reply but no need to apologise I still really enjoyed the riding and the well maintained trails. Got the gpx route now so should be good but anything is possible:)
  6. what do you still need buddy? I got some pedals (flats with toe-clips)
  7. I have been reading this thread for some time and feel it is time I also come forward and share my experience with this calling "Dibs" on sales. Last year I had an Orange water bottle lid for sale. On more than one occasion hubbers called "dibs" and " I will take it" only to wast my time and ruin my sale. In the end not one of them ever paid me, causing my thriving new venture to close down. The evidence is in the thread below: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/95748-newish-orange-water-bottle-lid/page__hl__orange+
  8. Thanks buddy
  9. Does anybody have contact details for who ever sells these in SA, I believe Burry is the agent but don't have his numbers hanging around
  10. Bmx tube system, have a look on YouTube, plenty vids
  11. Hahahaaa too sharp
  12. Somebody get the stones!!!!!! Haha welcome, you should be fine, I ......I mean my friend swaps and changes between the two with no problem
  13. Just saw on pigspotter: Blue BMW hit cyclist on Swartkoppies rd this morning and drove off. the reg number is displayed on pigspotter but not sure if its advisable to put on a public forum I have the reg number if you were involved, pm me
  14. I'm surprised they even knew the difference
  15. Nothing is sold until cash hits my account, If somebody wants first option, roll a few R100 notes around your dibs or "I'll take its"
  16. Dead snake
  17. Believe me nothing will sell for a silly price on the hub, we have more than enough price police to tell people if their prices are wrong, and they will
  18. Thanks dude! Appreciated
  19. Where is Thaba trails? First time I am hearing about it
  20. Rode for the second time at the Rietvlei today, tried to ride the blue route but kept coming back onto the same track, believe you can get about 18km from one lap. Anybody got some gpx files you could send my please? Love the tracks there
  21. I'm looking at retiring the xx brakes and have no idea what to go for? The 2012 Magura MT8 are looking hot What do you suggest? I ride marathon and stage races
  22. Ha ha yes they were going to be my example but thought one Caj........s fight is enough for this month
  23. dude I was wanting to spend 40k on a build and had problems with people getting back to me! Bike shops need to be run by two types of people, 1 - somebody with business skills and 2 - somebody with bike knowledge. Unfortunately most bike shops have number 2 but NO number 1
  24. also use the Halo band, does the trick for me
  25. S-works epic 29er , sidi shoes
