Which of the two overseas Mountain Biking magazines that are available at CNA is the better buy? One went for R80 the other R110(cant remember the exact names, I think one was Mountain Biking UK)

This is when a good dose of Pepper Spray to the eyes is effective

Read what Drongo had to say as well Parts are expensive to replace as well. I know Im covered for everything(races included)

If you can afford it, get it, you never know what could happen on the trail, even so much as your bike falling off its carrier(heaven forbid), at least its covered.

The Trance can be built to run almost like a XC bike.

This is crazy, but I'm sure it gets repeated often. Poor bike

Im gonna get my mum to do all my shopping, even at the bike shop - Pensioners discount, wooo hoooo.

Just repeating what I saw in a documentry the other day.

If you search, you will find

Accoring to recent test you can loose concentration by up to a half, even with a hands free kit.

There were some decent new bikes in the classifieds

I always have them with me in the bakkie, just in case I did find the front one does stop the mud flicking into your eyes or onto your glasses

Yeah you can run them tubeless.

I was taking the p Not to say that cause your LBS hasnt had problems , they don't possibly exist. My original post was mearly to help the OP.

Thats two people on the hub, who knows how many more could be out there. I'm sure they wont be doing a product recall

Wouldn't say it looks fugly, more detracts from the rest of the beauty In terms of practicality if it works for you, then go with it. I too once had guards, bike looked more like a motorcross bike They were on for when I was commuting.

Looks sweet . Just one question, why the mudguard?

Second recent case of bad Giant paintwork, whats going on? https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/95613-giant-paint-qaulity/page__p__1370951__hl__giant__fromsearch__1?do=findComment&comment=1370951

Just use a bomb, that way it can be a ride by without having to go back to get your pump, or bump them as you go past.

Was watching a show the other night that said even using a hands free kit reduces your concentration by half.

Eish, I now keep them in the car to beat off the scalies here. Had to pull it out while shopping at The Pavillion after a Taxi ran me off the road, the guy $hat himself when I got out looking like Whiplash from Ironman, and legged it.

I did a conversion with Stans just over a week ago using bombs and the sealent seems fine so far.

A good lock is imperative, even insurance won't pay out if the lock is not of a certain level(gold level) and they cost a bit.

Sorry to hear about your accident, I can imagine it being a nightmare.
