  2. im just a fatty baie!!!!!! no but to be fair it was only one race ....three flats in 45ks !
  3. then im a little lost buy well see ..my partner did the pre entry just after the event this year ....guess hes a wally !!!
  4. i have entered online for the 2011 race ... have i missed something ??
  5. i ride with nobby nics and im very happy with them for climbing they are king for corners they are tops ...and fast ...buuuut they tend to be flat more than they have air in them ...run them hard with a good fork or dual set up and they are the ones to use ..... my 2C's
  6. when will they be telling us all who has got into the sani2c ?

    EPIC BIKE

    hey santa i agree with the machines coment . but from what i hear they were not that well sponserd and their bike were worth no more than 8k each .. im sure they had a ton of help from other riders along the way .. nut thats why i like this sport so much we all get stuck in and get on with it !!! cant wait to see them on the event list next year !

    EPIC BIKE

    i will give the epic a miss thanks ! too pricey for me .... but hold on guys !!!! think we all missed something !! 2 kenyans completed the jozi2c in great time !!! v brakes ,hardtail and dated shock ... so i think its simple ...get in the saddle and ride ... riding is all about fitness and not so much about spec on bike.. itxs the age old story of the carpenter and his tools
  10. i have recently up graded to tubeless ..and i have afew questions how to i maintain the wheels set? what pressure should i keep the tires set at and what sealent is the best to use ? how often should the sealent be replaced ?coola2010-06-06 12:50:25

    EPIC BIKE

    i hear xt used alot ...what about xtr is that to liteweight for an epic event ??
  13. thanks guys ...i think a giant may be the way to go ..new epic one day ..when im big
  14. 50minutes ... what were you riding before ...a bmx ? giant loks like a better budget deal ...but the brand of the specialized says quality ?
  15. what to buy new giant x0/x1 ?? or 07/08 specialized epic ?? both has full house kit xt/xtr but the giant has a bomb proof rp23 rear fox shock and the epic has the "brain" rear shock with it problems .. whats the better bike for worry free riding ?
  16. when i read the first post i thought what a strange topic ...but i thought the same ...my kona was a treat to balance ..but my team issue is a twitchy fool....but the knoa has a more relaxed set up over the rear and the rave issue frame is set up for racing and alot more weight is over the front wheel ..next time try lean right back and you find it easier to handle ...

    Dual sus

    bulls won epic..with no dual sus .. the kenyans ...almost won the joberg 2c with Vbrakes !!! simple get on your bike and work those legs. fitness first .. just my 2 cents
  18. ride MTBs soft landings and your bike takes all the knocks ...i rode a race and gunned in down a jeep track hit a rocky river crossing too fast and broke a fork ..not a face ! love to watch tour de france ..not tour de ICU ward
  19. ok read all the posts and well ...report the crack and remove from site ..bikes etc only!!! when you see sh*t tell them its sh*t .... oh and lets all just get on ....classifieds do so well on this site because we all trying to save money !!!! race reports are everywhere ..
  20. for some time now i have hunted for a specialized bargin and have found myself with so many to choose from. they are all complete with xt components and fox shocks.. all this for under 10k. i have found one 07 epic in black with 08/09 full xt wheels sets with mountain kings tubeless. great deal ??? or is there something wrong with specialized from 06 to 08? a mate of mine built an s works carbon with full xt,dt swiss rims and wcs stem etc ..all for way under 20K. am i missing something ? shell i spend my money on something else ?coola2010-05-27 14:15:38
  21. stop with the trees already!!!!!!!!!!!!
  22. and regarding cycling in SA well we all know the pricing has been fixed for years .....and i thought it was cyclelab !!!!! mclean himself !!!! i will be watching out for this
  23. shake the tree means the boys at the head of cycling are being shaken from there perch ...lance has/will be caught for drug usage ...and its all been covered up for so long .... first a crack then a break !!!!! PG glass could lend a hand
  24. dont buy from cyclelab !!! anyone one of them !!!! over priced bad service ... Mr mclean should visit his stores and do backround checks on there managers ..... such a large group of shops with HUGE BUYING POTENTIAL and they still feel like over charging us .....coola2010-05-22 04:55:23
  25. better stil i have stil not recieved a call by the manager .... i have emailed yet still no reply
