  1. Im not into very long distances so a bit weight won't be the biggest of my worries, just rolling resistance. "Heavier tyres also increase the gyroscopic effect of the wheel, making the bike more stable on the ground or in the air."
  2. Im currently running on maxxis 2.1's and thought about putting some Conti Moutain Kings 2.4's on for the tech stuff, does anyone know if it will fit a Giant Trace 3? It has a rockshox Tora fork.
  3. It looks like the tyre melted and deformed in the middle if you look closely at the pic
  4. I tried putting my bike upside down, but that only caused my fork to loose air pressure...strange
  5. GO STORMERS !!!
  6. Don't think they will try out mtb after that race...
  7. Dan sal ek myne seker moet vervang as ek so na Hyper7 sin kyk...
  8. You save weight here and there but at the end if you add a second water bottle to the mtb it's 800g heavier
  9. Any advice?
  10. I've noticed after rides on my Giant Trance the rear shock gets quite alot of dirt stuck to it because of its location relative low to the ground. This is however can cause a short live span for the seals. I've seen a rear shock cover that could keep it clean from most of the dirt. Just wondered what you guys think of the cover in terms of looks vs functionality aswell as for the front fork covers? I would just like to add, every time my mtb stands for about a couple of hours the front fork (rock shox reba) tends to stiffen up and not move until you apply a bit of force to make it move, its not that serious but it bothers me, is the cause dirty seals or what? nacho!2010-05-16 16:28:03
  11. My X-7 se bottom pulley lyk of dit speling op hom het as ek dit op en af beweeg. Is dit dan tyd om dit te vervang, of wanneer is hy nou moeg?
  12. Nice job, btw how do they know for sure the bikes are stolen?
  13. It's a mtb saddle... here's a link to the pic before the mod http://yfrog.com/f1saddlesj 'n Boer maak 'n plan I drilled a hole just below the BEAM sticker on the corner of the saddle and replaced the plastic fitting of the saddle bag with a screw through the saddle bag and into the saddle...
  14. I bought a saddle bag today and when I got home I realised the saddle doesn't have the convensional two iron bars on the bottom, but instead one piece and that the saddle bag can't fit underneath. Does anyone know how to modify the bag's mounting cause now that I think of it, I've never seen a fitting for such saddle?
  15. Its my first time applying for the CSA cycling licence and I was just wondering how long it takes untill u receive the card or licence?
