  1. Ill go check what my supplier is shipping
  2. die rede hoekom ek nooit daar gery het nie is omdat toe ons aan die begin gaan ry het was die signage hopeloos, en daar was niks ST nie. So het toe dit nie die moeite werd geag om geld uit te haal vir 'n jaar permit nie. Maar ek moet se die signage is baie beter, die ST wat neergesit is is nogal fun. so ja nou is dit miskien die moeite werd om meer daar te gaan ry
  3. What do you mean lol cwc is stocked to the brim with lezyne crap
  4. Het dit gaan uitcheck die naweek, net twee goed 1. Moerse nice job took it unnecesarily tentative thought it would be loose "but it wasnt" 2. As die donnerse security gaurd nie by hazendal is nie waar de hel kan mens betaal, die ou is amper nooit daar nie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkJBphFA9Pk&feature=plcp for those who havent yet gone to check it out.
  5. Yup have to agree some people need to read the rule books. Hamilton was in front leading into the corner so is entitled to the racing line, Maldenado chose to stay wide and get of track "which he is entitled to do" Hamilton still has right to the racing line and does not have to go off the racing line to allow someone to rejoin, Maldenado had to back off and rejoin behind the mclaren, he however in his idiocy tried to intimidate Hamilton off the line and did not realize a car with 1.6cm clearance, hitting a angular bump at 250kmh will go airborne. In my view they should have added another 10 place grid drop for the next race where he can go play with the rest of the amatuers in the next race. Good on Hami that he didnt walk up to the moron and give hime the PK he deserved.
  6. My choice in wheelset ZTR Arch EX just as light as the ZTR but much much tougher, Woodman butted spokes Hope 2 hubs (not only do they rule, you can switch easily between 20mm 15mm and QR Depending on where you have them built it will be in the 6k price range.
  7. All the stuff you get of e-bay and other sources are fake, and shait, you pay half but they are useless, even though they get sold as the real thing.

  9. My opinion on a custom set you can get a couple of things. 1. the hubset that you want not the hubs that the manufacturer decided they wil put in. 2. the custom choice of spokes, i.e. light or something thats seriously strong/ 3. obviously choice of rims, and what you want from a rim, once again super light XC, stronger XC, light Trail. etc. 4. if you have "not run of the mill setups" I have 142 x 12mm rear, and 20mm maxle front its just simpler having one made up.
  10. I have been a supporter of CWC for quite some time, but i have to admit, that even though online's service is still great there are now quite a few things that are starting to irk me about CWC. 1. The lack of stock they keep these days at online, on a couple of occasions i was forced to buy from buycycle now, because CWC simply doesnt have stock on items, mails get answered with we are expecting shipment end of the month etc, but come end of the month the same items are still not in stock. 2. The fact that out of stock items dont get removed from the site or marked immediatly as out of stock, which means every week i log in, i check the item to be greeted with the out of stock icon under the main item properties. 3. looking at the XT brakes so it says 2390 on the main page, so you go to the item properties page and guess what "silver XT is apparently 2390 and conveniantly out of stock, but "Black" XT brakes are in stock and only selling for about R600 more R2999. Same brakeset two diff prices and incorrectly displayed on the main page. And my last grip i have is when you are looking to buy certain items and the main description doesnt clearly state 26" or 29" so you have to go into every item to fine out what its inteded for, and then yet again most of the items I need are out of stock again. I decided 3 months ago when this started irritating me i wont rant about it but damnit enough is enough. Simple 1. Put the correct pricing on and dont try underhanded price schemes to draw intererest. 2. Clearly label the main descriptions for intended wheelsize of make different categories for 26, 27.5 and 29. 3. If you dont have an item in stock do not display it, if you want to display it then mark the main icon with red to indicate stock levels, and enable a pre-order button that if someone is willing to wait at least you can pre-order. End of RANT. But besides that still a steller shop
  11. If you dont start eating after 45mins into your ride you might as well not eat at all.
  12. Agree but use the perpetuam chews, while drinking heed and water, so generally one tube perpetuam a 500ml bottle heed and my secret weapon nougat. (but not the cheap ass shait)
  13. Did see a chrome anthem 29er on olx for 10k the other day. apparently a jhb seller but the bike is cpt. go search on there.
  14. I still say thats bull becuase all the unique id's are contained within the XML code, so if anyone is uploading anywhere all they ave to do is an intrusive text search and they will pinpoint the gpx files made from your device. They are just too bloody lazy to get involved with these things.
  15. Yup but the OP can contact admin maybe they still have a backup of the PM's and the original advert, Also if the OP has enough evidence, proof of payment, e-mails, etc, he can open up a civil case against the seller for damages and costs. That way you get your moola back and the original seller gets a fat layer bill.
  16. Now that sucks balls shame dude.
  17. Its a GPS its got an ID and if you post your stuff on garminconnect they can track your start locations so all you need to do is start from your house once. My question is how the hell did someone get garmin to actually comply with an investigation.
  18. Thats what longer travel bikes are supposed to do, however, they are heavy and suck up hills and over 120km or racing but yeah ill still get myself a proper play bike, So thats two bikes i still need to get, damnit.
  19. Yeah probably im attributing the acuracy to the stiffness of mah bikey, it was just desinged with trail type stiffness in mind and me luv it but shhhhht just now someone is going to tell us 20mm maxle is useless and overkill.
  20. hope hubs "budget" Chris king "splurge"
  21. fixed
  22. Active posts 0 I rest my case, i buy becuase ive seen you around if i havent seen you around on the hub i simply wont buy since i dont know who i am buying from.
  23. Let me be a stick in the mud here, but i disagree i can change lines much easier with ol bigfoot, i find it way more direct and way more precise, but that might have a lot to do with the stiffness of the bike rather than the wheelsize. But i have quite often changed lines halfway through picking a route and found the bike responds instantly to my new direction. And so far no OTB excersizes
  24. Swiss no the wider bars are once a gain an Trail/AM/DH standard, makes any bike more stable decending at speed, and they generally have shorter stem's as well.
