Dave, do you service forks (fox) as well?

Sorry, I meant Dave!!

Thanks Dale, can you send me your contact details?

Best place to take my MTB (Ghost) to replace pivot bearings?? (Use to take it to Yellow Saddle, but Johan closed his operation). Don't trust any LBS to do it!

Has anyone tried Singletrack's Marathon Fuel? Used it for Transbaviaans and again at Xterra this past weekend? Works great for me. Go and have a look at www.singletrackfuel.com. Lots of usefull info on the website.

Which one of these magazines cater more for the MTR'er??

Buy a box of Futurelife instant poridge, devide into portions and mix with milk as a recovery drink!! Compare nutritional value with the unaffordable "recovery drinks", you will fall on your back!!! Been working great for me!!

Would like to join please? From where, what time and what distance do you have in mind?

From where and what time do you guys leave? What distance do you have in mind for sat & sun?

Looking to join a group for some training rides in preperation for TB in 2 months time please??

Any help or advise?? I have a Ghost AMR5900 and would like to upgrade its headset (currently has a Ritchey Comp - balls in cage) to a headset using cartridge bearings. I read all the posts on the hub and am trying to stay to the standard by installing a headset using the 36/45 degree cartridge bearings. There are a number of tapered heasets (1 1/8 and 1 1/2) on the market (Giant, FSA, etc) which uses the 36/45 degree bearing ranging from R350 to R600, no problem! The cups of these heasets fits into a steering tube with 44mm ID top and 56mm ID bottom. My problem - the Ghost steering tube bottom ID is 55mm (apparently this is a new std with some Scott bikes being the same). At this stage I could only find the Ritchey Pro Pressfit and HOPE heaset which will fit and cost R1000 +. The Ritchey also uses the 45/45 degree bearing which costs a fortune when one needs to replace it. One of our LBS had a look and left the current Ritchey Comp bottom cup in (using the caged balls) and just installed a 36/45 cartridge bearing. Feels fine, but haven't put some km's on it to see if it will last. Shouldn't the cartridge bearing seat 100% onto a corresponding cup??? Any help or advise please - don't want to spend R1000++ on a headset. Would then rather just stay with the caged balls!!

From where exactly does this ride start and is at 06:00 every Sat morning. Can anyone with reasonable fitness join or do you need to belong to the/a club? Contact person maybe??
