  1. pedal wrench with a rubber mallet, two or three taps and it will be sorted, if not the right sized spanner with a hammer should sort it as well.
  2. Depends on your riding style, if you like to lean the bike into corners the race king wont work for you since it doesnt have aggressive side knobbies. I like leaning the bike, but i also like to drift into some corners so i prefer the maxxis aspen in the rear, low center line tread, but nice big side knobbies
  3. Its not the sealant but related to the specific tyre, think about it logically, all tyres that come out of the conti factory uses the same rubber recipe, all sealant that comes out of the stans factory uses the same recipe, taking these two factors into account, if the sealant was responsible every single conti raceking would delaminate and bubble. This is not the case in fact for every 100000 tyres you might find one that will delaminate. Same can happen with Joe's or any other sealant. Its just bad luck.
  4. Thats what you get for buying an overpriced asian knockoff frame sold from switzerland, with no support in SA.
  5. Ive had both 1 x steerertube not tightened correctly murphy's law doing some technical ST handlebars are straight while my front wheel turned sideways luckally managed to bail and not hurt myself. Had a rear wheel come loose, that said however, I have knocked a CR on a rock before that loosened the skewer and it fell out too. Bottom line is precheck everything on your bike before you go regardless if its been serviced.
  6. My next biatch
  7. They wear them gay looking 3/4 kaki pants you cant miss them.
  8. Ok my brain is cluster @#$ed the article says "Xipamide, the substance found in Schleck's urine, is not specifically mentioned on WADA's prohibited substance list." So he is in crap for something thats not on the banned substance list? Makes no bloody sense at all.
  9. Yeah it all depends, I have found two smaller shops one specifically where I take my bike for anything technically related, I find the bigger flashy shops are useless when it comes to servicing and theres always an issue of some sort. And a major hassle to sort it out afterwards. These guys run their shops like a hobby offer me superb service and gets the job done right. Would i pay more and drive 60km to have it done right, i really dont think so. But im sure there are enough people out there that are fed up and would like a gaurunteed service. With no questions asked on come backs.
  10. why the schleck are people suprized every year when the pro's get cuaght for doping it HAPPENS EVERY YEAR!!!!!!! They should just stop testing these nutters and let them be.
  11. Yeah was awsum pitty i was in my car and not on my bike in the mountains.
  12. Easy to break into a garage more diffucult to get it out of your house ... well mostly, I have a seperate room for my bikes and all other bike crap. Works for me
  13. Yup tough as nails, and the only thing that can go wrong is scratching the lens, and that the local guys wont replace for free anyway. And yeah at double the price it looks like the local chaps, want us to beleive that they bought it for standard US pricing then want to charge us for shipping, insurance, distrobution etc etc. Where in reality, it probably costs them about R700 all inclusive to bring in a unit, then they sell it to retailers for double that, and then the retailers double it again just becuase they can.
  14. Please stop talking sense, i hate having to agree with you ,,, its just not right.
  15. Burry actually did a lot of DH in his pre-pro marathon days. That man has skill make no mistake.
  16. Unless your going to record in 3D dont waste your time on the Hero2 its not that much of an upgrade over the normal one to justify double the price, my gf bought the hero surf for like R1800.
  17. Yup fitness levels nowhere close to where it should be since i have issues sitting on a stationary bike inside a building.
  18. Almost time for this funride again whoop whoop
  19. No popcorn .... makes me a sad puppy
  20. pfft was the only exciting thing in the tdf ever ..... pity nobody wiped at 60kmh that would have been fun to watch
  21. is she planning on running with the bike between her legs or riding the thing?
  22. yeah wonder what happend they say she slowed for the inlap and then inexplicably sped up and crashed, Technical error?
  23. this kid makes the TDF almost exciting .... almost.
  24. Ikon came stock on my bike i felt that they were actually quite good cornering compared to most of the other brands out there just not a wet weather tyre. How much you weigh and what pressure you running them?
