  1. Its ABSA what do you expect, the biggest of the rip off artists this country has on offer, and technologically the weakest bank out there.
  2. Its great to see such pro-active and selfless posts such as these, I commend you your group and your sponsors for the effort time and money involved. And thats about the only nice thing i have to say for this year.
  3. Out of those the giant is the best, and most responsive, the merida is deadfoot, and the titan is value for money but not great. But rather see if you can afford a XTC.
  4. Im not that good at giving tubes blowjobs.
  5. I like the insulator too, its just effort to blow it back as far as im concerned.

  7. I bought the insulated pipes when i was in the uk quite expensive, basically a peace of neoprene wrapped around the tube, CWC had something similar wich a mate of mine bought for like R80, cant remember which brand it was though, not quite as good as the camelback version but works almost as well.

  9. I like these ones http://www.google.co.za/imgres?imgurl=http://www.quest-adventure.co.uk/images/YAWYD%2520cap.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.quest-adventure.co.uk/index.asp%3Fdisplay%3Dspecials%26specialcat%3DMTB%252029er%26specialId%3D393&usg=__f0C6L2E3X7XwAB-XAio8Q4CVck0=&h=488&w=450&sz=180&hl=en&start=17&sig2=vHnHCRZwb67PkMUH2Mal5A&zoom=1&tbnid=HHGOqs7jj2HSWM:&tbnh=130&tbnw=120&ei=bArsT9XTNMeThgeT7uzCAg&um=1&itbs=1
  10. I threw up a little in my mouth when i saw that.
  11. The only guy that ever gave hami a good go before f1 was Rosberg i still think he is an exceptional talent, he just needs a car that matches his skill.
  12. Yeah Newey is pure genius, Ron Dennis never should have let him go. And yeah if i was hami id stick to mclaren, i dont see vettel leaving either. So the question is who is going to take Massa's seat?
  13. Planning on checking it out on Saturday
  14. The alonso hamilton drivers combination didnt do so wel last time i doubt Hamilton will move to them.
  15. if if its regulated it will be registered as thehubsa with whichever domains admin got .com .co.za etc etc. If for example someone wanted to use the exact same name "thehubsa" with a domain that is not owned by admin, admin will get a letter asking him if there are any objections to the use of the particular name "thehubsa". You can however still go register names with similarities i.e. hubsa, thehub, etc and they will be legal.
  16. quite often and once you learn to skid aka drift "cutty" then you will realize the wonders of strong brakes, but first and formost you need to consider, Total power, bite point adjustment, brake fade, reach adjustment, and modulation when buying a set of brakes.
  17. Just give them a call with the item that you want, they will just ship it to you as if it was online.
  18. Yeah its actually one of their main brands in the shop, they did have some stuff online a while ago but i guess they removed it from the site.
  19. And SLX beat the hell out of XT and XTR lol. though addmitedly XT and XTR have more features and adjustability.
  20. Added the link as the hub does not like tabular formatting
  21.

  22. I see Rockshox now unveiled theirs as well, still think its total overkill.
  23. I am not a fan of crossmarks well def not as a front anyway, but going sideways on flat ground? That makes no sense, do you have any play in your shock/headset assembly? At 75k you can run them probably 1.8 front 1.9 rear.
  24. could also be flex or a wheel not being true. but more than likely you need to check your rebound and dampning settings with your tyre pressures. What shock are you running?
