  6. Hi, Is there such a thing as Second hand 29er ss out there? If so point me in the right direction.
  7. Only thing is its a 26er.
  8. Shot o its that easy. How much can go wrong with the Bb.
  9. Hi all, I am keen on getting a 26er GT peace but would like some advice/thought's on the bike. I too would like to know how easy is it to change the tension of the chain and changing teeth? Does anyone know? It is a vertical drop-out and has two screws on the ebb. Some cleaver people help lend me your thoughts and knowledge.
  10. And the Driver get to walk free with a warning! "i didn't see him"! In a Europe country the driver would be in serious trouble. There is a reason why we do a drivers test! so that we don't get idiots on the road driving with Blinkers on.
  11. Ok so we get off with a warning?! So if I go hunting and shoot and kill someone and I say I didn't. See hime. I guess I will get a slap on the head and get off with a warning.
  12. Following the tragic passing away of Burry Stander I cannot stop to think of what can be done. So many emotions running though my head. For the first time I have thought of selling my bikes but what good will that do. What can we do about this problem we are facing? Not just as Cyclists but as pedestrians and alike. In some many ways everyone has to play a part. For the purpose of this article I will just say cyclists and motorists. There is a huge drive for this 1.5m distance between cyclist and motorist this is all good and will create an awareness. This if passed and adhered to will make some difference. However! I do feel it is way bigger and deeper than that. Look I’m not slating the proposal of it (as I am fully committed to it and love to have this law passed) but we need to get to the route of the problem. If a motorist can’t even obey the law of stopping at a red robot or not driving in the yellow lane what is to stop them to adhere to the 1.5m rule. The lack of law or implementation of it is shocking! Let’s start at the beginning getting your drivers license. Today it’s very easy to get your license all depends how deep your pockets go. So now we have a lot of bought licenses out there. Report the offenders giving the drivers tests! Have them pay a fine or lose the jobs! This is way bigger than a stupid paper saying you have a drivers license its safety on the roads they are playing with. At the end of the day some one’s life is worth R50 to the examiner!? Pass the learners of the skills and not on payments. The Driver said he never saw Stander. In the K53 it does state proceed in turning once you have looked at your blind spots and all around you then if it is safe turn do so. This simple act would have saved plenty of life’s. fine the Taxi association on every accident caused by a Taxi (they are not a law on to them self’s). Cyclists need to ride more aware and obey the rules of the road too. In other countries it’s a serious offense to hit a pedestrian or cyclist and the driver will pay. Can S.A not adopt this attitude! Just look at how long the Jub Jub trial lasted! Discussing!! Something needs to be done! Any comments?
