  1. I have a question, when pulling my front brake of my mountain bike when stopping my Fox fork shudders, almost like something prevents it from going in to help with the stop and then there is heavy vibration. Fork is a Fox RL32 that came on a 2011 Giant XTC 29er. What causes this? I thought maybe the disc is is whapped from being hot and going through water but not sure.
  2. from what I heard some guy who will cycle in front the elite bunch and not point out any bricks just swerving around causing others to crash....
  3. Exactly what I said on the first page...and then people attacked me with their remarks.
  4. Or you get left behind on the sidewalk when your friends pack the car for a camping weekend.
  5. They always fix my wheel while i watch
  6. He deserved that, but his wife also needs to be run over.
  7. haha! So true!
  8. Judging by the pic of that crank I never ever seen something like that happen before....looks like the crank blades bashed against something which caused them to snap...Please show the crank blades also...thnx Your bar and crank blades snap from a slow fall? Impossible, maybe it can bend if alu or snap if it is carbon like road bikes have! If you disagree show me where that happened before, where you fell slowly and your crank looked like that. I fell with my brand new Giant XTC29er the weekend I got it at 30km/h+ coming down Bottelary trails misjudging a corner, the bike was flung like a wheel on the floor bouncing everywhere....only my saddle was scratched and bend as would be expected but a quick dust off, etc and I cycled home....bars perfect, crank perfect....
  9. That is what I was thinking, sounds more like crash landing on rocks that broke the blades off? And now he wants XTR....I want to trade in my E46 BMW M3 for a E96 M3 cause the rim broke.... I think the same...
  10. Your probably the first person to snap a crank like that at the blades, and to be honest judging by that pic it looks like you properly abuse a bike .....judging by the way the bar snapped looks like you do a lot of drops? I always got good services from Giant...but if your brake snaps why should they replace it? How do you break a brake?

    Ultegra Di2

  12. Cause you will have a flat at Camps Bay....girls like that...nevermind.....

  14. I noticed that, i just brake less now
  15. Buy the yellow Swisstop brake pads....I done it, you can run Alu rims and Carbon rims with them I have a cassette on training wheels and race wheels....I clean my chain often and cassette. I have not have any problems yet
  16. Some pics I took at Jonkershoek with my BB
  17. What about the R230 excl VAT? a bit steep don't you think?
  18. that bike is perfect! I wont change anything on it....love the exhausts...love everything!
  19. Rudy Project is probably so expensive cause it has a misquito net inside....
  20. FrankTank...maak ons n mission?
  21. I know for sure Louis Knipe's input will help a lot for the track since he is a experienced mtbiker!! I can't wait! My 29er is ready! Maybe we all can meet when the opening is and try it out
  22. Pls make it one direction only! Also can I train there? Would be nice to do some laps
