Buff

Gees, rough one. Glad to hear everyone is okay.

They're made of alumium and I've tried the roughening up bit already... still struggling to find a crocodile with a cold though, they're scarse in the Cape in summer Thanks

You'll enjoy it, a mate of mine rides the same bike ('cept for SRAM comps) and he loves his ride.

You're right, it should be an issue, but it's forking frustrating when it is because it tends to stuff your knees up

Thanks for all suggestions, considered the DCAP splat but it won't work if the shims are already in contact. Think I'll try bikemosters "shimstock" combined with the DCAP (to avoid squeaks) and see if that works.

For the love of all that is holy, could someone please advise me on how to fix a saddle that keeps on sliding in the seatpost clamp? I have an easton ec70 post and it appears as if the built in shim on the clamp is machined incorrectly as the top clamp make contact with the bottom clamp before exerting enough pressure on the saddle rails. So far I've removed the top clamp and filed it down to create more pressure but this only worked for the first month or so (done this twice already). I'm currently overtightening the sucker and I know it's just a matter of time before the bolt snaps... probably when I'm 100kays away from home as well. Another mate of mine has the same problem with his ec70, so it seems to a factory defect. Any suggestions? PS! No Minty, I'm not going to buy a Titus just to replace the seatpost, but thanks for the thought anyway!

Man, CAMPY ROCKS !!!!!!! Pops, het jy weer geld wat jou sak brand??? ... koop liewers nuwe bene vir die Epic

Doesn't it feel like you're going to wheelie every time you go up technical climbs RodTi? Your handlebars are high in relation to your saddle (although the bike is on a stand) and I notice that you have no spacers left to remove on the stem either. Maybe go for a zero degree stem rise as well... if your back is okay!

Blikemmer, now that's one swweeeet baaik !!! I'm green with envy... try stay away from the s on this one okay.

Yep, it's not accurate as it's based on averages. What I do know from experience is that if you plan on riding a Sub3 you need to be at the bottom of Smitswinkel at least 8mins ahead of that projected time to compensate for Chappies & Suikerbossie.

Sweet, thanks.

changing the subject quickly: Ti, does a person ever have to lube your DS bearings? If so, with what and how?

Different strokes...

Yeah okay, but only coz you're having a bad day Why so miffed, did the roses cost that much? It looks a bit better when it has dirt on it though (Nov issue of Mounatin Bike UK).

What you guys think of the 2007 GT's? I'm no GT fan but i havta admit, I wouldn't say no to this puppy parked in my gararge:

Bet you wouldn't tell him it looked k@k though He's one of those okes employed by SAA to kickstart the Boeings in the mornings.

and don't forget TheHubSA review - Company with the most broken frames

See the SRAM X.0 doesn't clamp over the bar but straight into the bottom of the Ultimate brake lever. Do they still give you the option of a bar clamp?... bit sh*tty if you change brake levers

Dude, that thing is designed in the States... half the population will sue Scotts ass for pressing the wrong button.

They're claiming it to be so light & fast thet I'm surprised there isn't an Eject button on it as well... or is that on the right side?

Good on you mate... who would ever have though... a Lemmer in CSA... eish, what's the world coming to? Hope you enjoy kraaifontein cocktails!

you never want that happening. always it ends with sex doesn't it. doesn't matter where you begin it's all foreplay. apparently. well makes it easy doesn't it. Can you think of a better way for it to end?Buff2007-02-07 06:40:15

As a featherweight I find it difficult to believe you find the Rockshox wobbly... normally only the big boys feel the difference... but then again, you ride like one Bear in mind, wobbly also means compliant, so it can bend but won't break Anyway, I digress... I'm a Rockshox fan but Mark & another mate have both had to return Reba's after 1 month due to the shock sticking at the bottom of its stroke... not sure if this is a man. defect but it odd that it's happened to both of them on brand new Rebas

Thx, was just wondering... if you were I was thinking of franchising your business in CT ... I could do with a system6 . Do you import your 'dales or buy local? I know you bought from ebay at some stage but the way you change them, that coulda been 3 'dales ago

Hey Cruxie, do you sponsor the team with those 'dales?
