Clinton - theCOW

Agreed - think their timing just before 94.7 was poor. A lot of people park @ Riverstone, i'll be taking a parking card, getting the R100 back to use in any of their stores/vendors is great, it costs you nothing really and i live about 5km away Something Country you need to mission on the sand with road cleats, not so kewl but bearable. I have the issue that there's so many people riding/walking there it's an accident waiting to happen. Never parked at any other venues but there's lots in the Cradle, it's a matter of choice.

It's pretty easy, maps will show you the way. Oom Earps shack i'd guess is round 5k's, if you gonna meet there after for beers, also a good idea Last year we did the 2 laps in Elvis Presley Outfits - why we were fast This year, we'll be "Rocking" the streets for 2 laps For those that don't know what CHOC really does - it's all about kids with Cancer The CHOC house gives a rural child & caregiver accommodation/food/transport for the duration of their treatment (around 3-4 months) 2013 goals are: Support for the Bergvliet House (bone marrow transplant patients) housed their for up to 9 (nine) months due to the risk of infection Support for the NEW (Land bought & house built from 2012 campaign) East London CHOC house Zach Foundation - Peadiatric Cancer research Awareness around early cancer detection in rural areas YUP - we'll be at the Expo, peddling our wares - if you don't want to just give money, buy yourself a T-Shirt or socks If you want to see what money raised has done, visit the Peadiatric Oncology ward @ Bara, go see the CHOC house in Soweto. Ride safe peeps!

Seatposts on road & mtb, bars on mtb, only recently started using them so can't really comment on flaws but price vs weight is imo very good.

If there was a RMA, you should be able to get the rim free/gratis/mahala. Not sure if you'd need to ship the old 1 back but i stand under correction.

Did it as 26 letters on a page, i should've just used numbers (blonde moment) Does this mean you keen to take a sheet of 26 to win a 29 bike We actually have a lot of raffles going around for CHOC, yussus it's confusing! A Raleigh 20" kiddies bike up for raffle Night @ a fancy hotel for 2 incl massage (happy ending is your problem ) A beer brewing thing I can't keep up, but we'll be at the Expo to mug all the cyclists

Send them to Pretoria and Bedfordview, they need help stopping killings.

I priced internationally from http://www.wheelsfar.com/ (cos they listed weights and they're light - i'm a weight weenie) never priced at Dengfu/Hongfu etc on the 38mm Full Carbon Clincher. I got the following: Price for New FSC38-CM with Edhub and Sapim cx-ray is US $578.Weight 1250+/-30g. Shipping cost for the complete wheel is US $117 Paypal handling fee 4.5% When you do all the maths, my option is to rather look local from CCD & have a 2yr warranty @ R7700 although the wheels will be i'm guessing 100-150g heavier

I wasn't planning on goin but thought, why not? Fair was kewl (imo) R60 isn't a lot and when you break it down, it's 2-3 coffee's, spent about 3 hours there. For me it show cased that cycling isn't about Road/MTB only, it's about all aspects, touring, "fun" bikes (electric, Fat, SS road & MTB, chilled go to the shops driving miss daisy bikes) I never test rode anything on the track, had a spin on 1 of the Contraband bikes so if you made a serious day of it, it's well worth the R60. Keep it going guys, if more manufacturers/suppliers buy in, it'll get big! It'll get to a point where you'll spend 1 day test riding 15 bikes, this is a real bonus when you think we hardly ever have that opportunity. Apparently i know way too many people and spend too much time nattering but it's all part of sharing a sport/hobby we love

I think you may need to change the stickers tho, cos i can see you get a snot klap when okes chooon her, "Hey Sweaty Betty" We have 7, i make it clear to the lil lady that only 2.5 are mine, cos she has her bikes and we "share" - read "i use" the SS I was told i can't get my Fat bike until she get's her Driving Miss Daisy CM bike with basket Guess what i'm shopping for

Awesome! I like my white MTB shoes, when they clean and sitting in my cupboard, else they a mission to keep clean, must be a roadie bling thing in me. The black does look the business, they kept the overlay scuff type finish on the inside of the heels? Was impressed when i saw that on my shoes. If you can, try a set of S-Tracks, you won't regret it! This is bad to see things like this @ such good prices, i know when i looked for road shoes initially they were R3200, so still thinking of getting a pair & hiding them til Xmas, think i can get away without the gf knowing

Take Allandale, hop onto the old PTA road all the way to Marlborough, left into Marlborough, left into South, as you go under the highway, right @ the robots onto the service road, all the way down to the Baron. Take Rivonia, turn left, left into 12th (i think), a right into "Katherine", left into another road, right into the service road by the Baron.

Yoh, 3 days or racing, 1 being a night for R450 & a proper MTB venue, swear you trying to bankrupt me!

I'll see if that hair on my chest has sprouted yet or if i should just stick to the plush geared bike

Doesn't the XX1 require a different freehub body as well? If no freehub then that means new wheelset?

When we going to arrange a VG fun day, go out and just enjoy the trails? Might even consider the SS Rigid for a fun spin Or am i just being stupid?

Can you PM me the shop that's selling the S-Works shoes cheap We're saving for a bigger goal between the lil Ms & myself so any spending is on the back burner right now but who knows

You mean Zipp labelled wheels? From the price and Novatec hubs, no dimples in some images, i'd say they aren't genuine Zipp.

I also found shops don't keep all sizes. Too many sizes to stock? I had to order and wait for them to arrive, wasn't a major since i phoned in so no real expense. The R2k S-Works would be my bet. I'm tempted at R2k to get another pair but the gf would kill me

I played about 10yrs ago, peeked at the DM stuff yesterday, still nearly 20k for a proper comp setup. The airfills are cheap, once you add clothing etc the initial layout is bad. From what i understand, the price of paint has come down, the R/$ isn't helping once again but agree, it's not a cheap sport. Do they still do tourney's with limited paint? Like a hopper only, that would help costs.

So when you organising that weekend away at Mankele

I know Easton had issues with their 38mm FCC, hence why we never saw them. Chatted to a guy who went thru 5 sets of them. Apparently it was a weakness in the rim bead, the pressure put on bead causing the failure.

About a year ago. I got my MTB shoes from Dunkeld 0113410627, think they were also round the R2800 mark, they were about R400-500 cheaper than Concept. I'd say call Dunkeld, the call is worth the saving West Rand Cycles were round the same price as Dunkeld. Mate normally orders his Spez stuff from Hannes in Bloem. I have no ties to either of the stores, to be honest, i've only ever bought a pair of shoes from Dunkeld & a pair from West Rand. My road shoes i imported, that was a 1k saving about 4 years ago.

Can anybody help this oke? https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/132302-calling-all-propeller-heads-what-is-this-the-replica-of/

2 tubes, 4 bombs, man size pump, 5x speed links, multitool, instant patches, plug kit, duct tape, 2 bananas, 2 jungle oats bars, shock pump, cash & credit card, cell phone Since you don't doing a mtb stage race What i really carry: 1x tube 1x bomb & adapter 1x mini pump presta to shrader converter self adhesive patches speed link money tire levers phone quite a bit of food more recently (normally a banana or 2, jungle oats bar, jellies) You can use a wrapper to make a gator if you need to get home but a bit of duct tape seems like a good idea, think i'll pop some on the pump

Caerus - price around, last time i called all the shops in JHB when i was looking for MTB shoes for the gf (they don't bring in ladies S-Works if you ever looking, you'll need to import), even the free state. Sometimes they have the shoes and are willing to ship cheaper as they don't get as much foot traffic and their overheads are less. JC - try contact ASG directly, i eventually got for my old Sidi road shoes @ a 94.7 expo.
