  1. My S-Works Stumpjumper updated with new Roval SL wheels.
  2. I'm riding the 42/30 XTR crank with a 11-36 cassette on my 29er, and have never really struggled getting up a hill. The 40/28 should be fine if you battle with climbs.
  3. Respect for this youngster for winning stages in Le Tour, and nothing wrong with behaving like a youngster!
  4. That is why I keep on going back. Great guys, great prices and big hearts!
  5. Who else are we gonna take to court for calling a hub a hub?
  6. Why do you want to buy XX, Hope, XT and XTR. Just choose one, you don't need all four sets. XTR is my choice.
  7. Stevie, yesterday you complained about not getting a raise. Today you you are telling us that you are scouting bike shops comparing prices. Should'nt you be at work, earning your raise? Just wondering.
  8. Funny how XT is always justified as 'just as good as XTR', when those making these claims really knows it is not close to XTR, not in performance, not in weight, and obviously not in price. XT is good, but it will never be XTR.
  9. Your chains should last at least 2500 km on a mtb.
  10. Nice bike! What size frame is that, and is that a custom spray job?
  11. Burry Stander's dad, Charles is the Rotor importer. You can basicly place your order with any bike shop. A set of rings will go between R2K and R2.5K. Cranks are more expensive. Not recommended for Sram Red, and not compatible with new XTR. Those who ride them, love them, but I am not yet sold on the idea, and also because I can't fit it to any of my 2 cranks.
  12. An UST rim is designed to work with an UST tyre, because of the interlocking beads. Your EA70XC rim can be made tubeless without any problems and will work with your Maxxis Crossmarks, but will never be as secure as a UST rim/tyre combo. Many mtbikers are enjoying many carefree miles on non-UST wheel combo's, but there is always a chance that the tyre can pop off the rim. It has happen to me three times, once while doing 30km plus.That was good enough reason for me to get proper UST EA90XC wheels.
  13. Yes, EA70XC can be made tubeless with a proper tubeless rim strip like Stans. It will however never be UST because of the rim bead.
  14. Unless you wanna look like you riding your little sister's bike, don't take this deal.
  15. Ride them more ,they will get a bit louder as the grease on the pawls thins out. They will however never become noisy, unless something is broken inside!
  16. Assos ij Tiburu.... insulated long sleeve top.
  17. Placed an order on 25/5, got free shipping through Royal Mail. Picked up the parcel on 7/6. Not bad I guess.
  18. S-Works frames with Cannondale Hollowgram SL cranks....cool!
  19. Assos Mille bibs S-Works flatbar 680mm S-Works Renegade 29er's KMC SL 10 gold chain
  20. Don't buy Assos, cause once you have tried it, you can never wear anything else.
  21. Meet Joy!
  22. If your symptoms are above the neck, go ahead, if it is in the chest, take a rest.
  23. Little advice, if you are really good, there is no need to seek a sponsorship, they will find you. If you are just looking for hand-outs like a free bike and entry fees to races, keep on looking, cause you ain't gona find it here.
  24. Yes, trade in, you will never look back!
  25. Olympic Cycles in Claremont.
