    Cables?

    Need to get cables for my build and wondering which are the better brake and gear cables to use? Alligator Jagwire
  2. Just kidding dude, nice bike! If it was a specialized it would be ***!
  3. Agree, not so happy about the tree killing! The forests make Tokai what it is!
  4. Tokai is awesome. My wish list: 1. More single track in Tokai and to be a little closer to home, so I can ride there every second day. 2. Lebanon and Oak Valley intergalactic portal, so that I can alternate between Tokai and Grabouw. 2. Single track routes from devils peak onto TM onto Signal Hill! Thanks - sort it out now!
  5. What's wrong with the wheels, they look very big?
  6. Why not use Endomondo?
  7. Eina, speedy recovery. Time to get a video contract and uncapped ADSL!
  8. itching for a new bike, you is!
  9. Only with my wife!
  10. Not looking for an argument just interested to hear your opinion. I think it takes time to get used to a FS bike and you will find that over time you will get quicker on it.
  11. A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, " Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am. " The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, " You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude. " She rolled her eyes and said, " You must be a DA supporter! " " I am, " replied the man. " How did you know? " " Well, " answered the balloonist, " everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me. " The man smiled and responded, " You must be an ANC Government official " " I am, " replied the balloonist. " How did you know? " " Well, " said the man, " you don't know where you are or where you are going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now it's my fault. "
  12. Update!! 1. Frame at Morewood for its beauty session, will call on Monday to get ETA -going Candy Blue 2. Got my new rear shock from a dude in Taiwan at a awesome price R1750 delivered. 3. Bought a new 2010 Revelation u-turn from ebay, sent to Canada and waiting for a family member to send my "Gift". Also got it at a good price R3250.00. 4. Might need to change my front derailleur as it is a bottom hang and after a few comments in the thread i think i need a top hang. 5. Need to get new handlebars, looking for 700mm 6. When CWC has stock will buy some new jagwire break cables and gear cables. Have been reading and watching some vids on bike building and feel very uncomfortable attempting this, but will soldier along. Got some nice pics from Hairy, of his bike, which will give me a good idea of what it should look like - build by picture.
  13. Much faster on what? climbing and flat jeep? I’m sure the Zula is quicker on everything else?
  14. when your toe goes through the shoe!
  15. Rudy Exowind Photochromic for MTB'ing. Oakley Jawbones for road, much darker.
  16. There is always a fine line between growth and service. I am happy to see these guys go from strength to strength and hope they don’t loose focus on their great service.
  17. You love the black box?
  18. Another oldie i dig:
  19. Remixed from Human League original: Original:
  20. Teresa Palmer - Wow!
  21. ***, all you need is this:
  22. *** at the time, but a comedy of events. Thanks for the laugh! You are very lucky that canopy was unlocked!
  23. Try get a mate that understands components to go look at bikes with you. Look for a decent frame, shock (RP23) and fork, you can upgrade other parts as time goes on. Shocks, forks and components need to be serviced on a fairly regular basis, so check when the seller has last had a service. One more thing - If it's to good to be true, it usually is!
