  1. I have a few, I have put them so far on every commuter bike I own, they are life changing.!
  2. Damn, and I've been watching these posts, ready to join this evening, am away for next week but from then on the firewalker would love to be in. Thanks for starting this thread
  3. My first race, and apparently its pretty tough, so look out for a black Santa Cruz coming flying past you on the downhill, and me sliding along right behind it...
  4. Lion Man is my first race, so i'm also watching this topic. but must agree with Zula, been going to that area forever, and most definitely loads of thorns and dry sandy conditions, so tubeless and spares, probably very little chance of muddy conditions, even if there has been rain the ground is very compacted. My mountain kings might be overkill. ?
  5. It looks to me, may be the photo though, that one side has a 9mm opening and the other a 15mm...? Impossible?
  6. you can give Gail at Mikes Bikes a call, I think she wants to sell a set of pink brakes, possibly hopes, i cant remember, and she has quite a bit of pink stuff around. there's even a set of pink chris King hubs floating around...
  7. nah pedals are for woeses, i ride pedal-less, its all the rage now! they're on now weight-weenie, some trusty old crank bros eggbeaters. bike rides awesome.
  8. dont ask. Fizik Zeak. weighs like a ton, but has a skull on it! And super comfy
  9. My first couch and bike combo pic. Just picked this little lady up this afternoon, her parts have been coming in for weeks, now she is complete. So first pic while still clean.
  10. How does one person stir so much in such a short time, ? Just last week everybody was putting on SA flag 'ears' on their cars, flags, it was about to be world cup time, everything felt great, and then one douche bag, and he really is that, manages to duff everything up for so many people. So unfortunate, and he is such a nothing in the greater scheme of time, it makes me crazy sad. One fat self absorbed non too bright has the power to change events. The age old butterfly effect, just this time a worm. tsk tsk world. Franz Ferdinand all over again. We're all definitely bigger than this I am certain. Just hope it all blows over soon. 'orrible
  11. Going to Zimbabwe for advice for is like visiting a man dying from a myriad sexually transmitted diseases who lies with his whole family, also afflicted, in a dark room, and high-fiving him, going "My man, you are the legend, you were rocking the ladies your whole life, how do I do it, I want your advice so I can do the same., My man!, Oh sorry, here's your nose that just fell off. You legend. My man! "

  13. Damn, the love making was quicker than expected, DVD player didnt work cos power is out, and couldnt make the meal as someone stole the vegetables out of the garden, so I'm back I also like it here, alot, and I really only voiced that as an optimistic idea that perhaps there are some genius spin doctors at work out there who are setting up appointments and cameras to show Julius smiling next to Bob, discussing nationalisation, appeasing the masses for the time being. I dont recall Bob having photo-ops with other world dictators whilst picking their brains, he just went ahead and did it. Julius has no clout to make any motions without the backing of the ANC, and so far they seem to just be giving him a very long, and visible, leash. I'm no political major so I most definitely wont get into any heavy discussions about this, I'll definitely be outwitted by alot of you, but it seems to be to address the possibility of something good coming out of a whole heap of rubbish at the moment is healthier than the slam dunk the forum was on its way towards. Go ahead IanC
