Till someone does the effort to put a sign up on Canaries saying "yield to riders going up" or "yield to riders comming down" there will always be confusion on canaries, as the current signage still only displays up instead of down.

I prefer Cyberlink Powerdirector, has all the goodies adobe premier has, at much cheaper and much easier to use.

Yeah Andro everyone i know go down singletrack as slowly as they possibly can ........ Yeah right dude thats what ST is made for its made to go balls to the wall. Agreed logic should be applied but generally the chap going down already did all the effort of going up, for the privellege to come down at speed. Hence the guys going up should get out of the way. Confusion however sets in in cases like canaries in jonkershoek. Before half the mountain burned down, Canaries was designed to be ridden up, and the ST at the other end of the mountain was meant for down. Now that its basically just Canaries thats left in Jonkers, you have riders going up and riders going down it, and this causes some debate, since its original purpose was up, but now out of circumstance its up and down.

Cant they just jump over me?

No sadly didnt have a chance thought id move it out to Tuesday but i see loads of rain for Monday not sure how well WVP drains after rain .... BTW flogging dead things is the most fun

Love is a chemical reaction that doesnt last.

International folklore says people going up have right of way, and a lot of SA seems to have adopted that mentality. Though going through old PPA and CSA manifesto's they actualy have it right and state people going down have right of way. Its safer as. 1. 99% of ST is designed to be ridden downhill and thats generally accepted. 2. The people going down do so at speed, and have less time to react or find a place to pull over 3. Going down you have more noise and your only looking 5-10m ahead of you and by the time you see an uphill rider its generally too late. The return of argument of the uphill riders ..... 1 ... It takes more effort to stop and start again.

Then tell people what your about to do TNT

just after 6:12 slow, and i dont mind a post being canned, but a reason for the canning would be nice as it was a cycling related post taken off a well known cycling magazine's page.

If you going to kill a post please do supply a ******* REASON!!!!!!!!! I had a post killed for no reason with no explenation. Ony responses i had was TNT being his usual bitchy self and then whoop all gone.

Hope you recover quick and these things happen dont let it dampen your confidence. Good luck man and to all those that assisted.

Yes Roadies will chew this one up http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=OPLYStAuZt0 Whatcha think?

Stans are normal stans just white. And 99% of any new bike will not come out with LUST tyres, they all come out with the foldable Maxxis. And the foldable maxxis are a lot lighter than the LUST versions due to "thinner sidewalls" that said ive been running my stock maxxis "non lust" tyres as tubless for the last couple of months so far not a single sidewall cut. So they hold up quite ok.

Yeah its a love love relationship

Phone Lance at epic bike shop in rondebosch he did a review on them for a couple of magazines. He was thoroughly impressed as i recall.

errr lol no lets agree to disagree before we even start this one To the OP just do it

TNT is a roadie his opinion is null and void

Had a SB when i started they are in fact great bikes, but since they sell them at a decent price point people tend to look down on them. They are tough and great value. Back in the day my entire phoenix bike cost 6k, i thought hell let me upgrade the frame to something lighter, ordered a morewood kwela frame for 7k (just the ht frame) proceeded with stripping down my bottom of the range SB, weighed the frame, only to fine out that my "bottom of the range" phoenix frame weighs 40 grams heavier than the top of the range morewood HT frame. Moral of the story, some people perceive them as being cheap low value bikes, they are not, they are well designed have great geometry, and have excellent groupsets, at sometimes half the price of the "more expensive brands" Go for it. Get one.

Probably wont support it but if the cyclist wants a darwin nomination, well I can't help recall what we were told when we were kids. As jy dom is moet jy k@k.

Your welcome to answer any way you like mate, fact is your previous post to say least an insult to your own level of intellegence, This thread may head where it inevitably will, fact of the matter is that the dude in the vid is a tjop and anyone that thinks otherwise is of the same genepool and should be removed from society.

Heman the only place where we would have a speed limit of 40 in SA is at school crossings, for the rest of the residential and suburbun areas your between 60 / 70 / 80 depending on the road and the area. and 66 in a 60 zone is not over the limit actually 69 in a 60 zone is still within the limit, take that and the fact that 99% of cars are detuned by at least 7kmh, he was actually going less than 60 in all probability. This guy on the bike is a total tjop, and he should get his brans splat all over the road, just please dont post it on the hub when that happens becuase then we have to sit through another 50 page thread on motorists being the source of all evil while the poor innocent cyclists are just targets and can do no wrong.

work..........

Lol no worries its all cool by the pool.
