  2. Will you be eligible to win the grand prize (the epic entry) even if you haven't completed all the challenges?? my understanding was that only the participants who have finished all the challenges will be eligible?
  3. I had the same issue. Definitely an ITB issue. Luckily I'm married to a physio. Strengthen your core, glutes, hammies and quads. And see a physio once a week for about 3 or weeks to loosen up your ITB. Sorted my ITB out in about 8 weeks. Good luck and as mentioned somewhere here before, don't do too far too fast too soon, increment your furthest running distance by 5% each week
  4. Anyone doing the Buffelspoort Tri on 3 Dec? Can't figure out if it's MTB or Road Cycling, road running or trail?
  5. Also gonna try enter

  15. apologies if there are already threads about this topic but i was wondering what rims are out there suitable for DH that don't cost an arm or a leg?? Are the dartmoor raider rims on dial'd bikes any good? (http://dialdbikes.co.za/dartmoor-raider-rim.html) what about the syncros grudge rims on buycycle? (http://www.buycycle.co.za/components/mtb-en/rims/syncros-en-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11/syncros-fl-ds25-grunge-26-32-hole-rim.html) Any feedback or links to existing topics are much appreciated

  19. you can switch off cellular data usage and it still works
  20. very nice doc, thanks!
  21. AHA so that's why my brakes vibrate while stopping!! one major issue solved with the help of another!! great success! all I'm gonna do is remove the gold little cylindrical washer, turn the silver one around, sand down that little lip, hope they line up and go ride! perfect! thanks err'body! edit: as you can see i use avid with ashima rotors, 180mm
  22. aaah okay thanks guys... i wanted to just 'boer maak i plan' but these being my brakes i was a little hesitant! and rex because of this i'm not getting 100% stopping power plus i tend to wobble my rotors under hard breaking... now i know why... you guys think i can just sand that little lip down with sanding paper?
  23. thing is that 'washer' is a hollowed out swivel little part that fits into the silver part, which helps align the calliper, and you can't have one without the other....
  24. when i checked my brake pads this weekend i discovered that the surface is not completely covered by the rotor. there is a small sliver that is not worn down (see attached photo). so this means i need to move the whole calliper closer to the wheel, but how do i do this? is my current brake adapter and or bolt stack wrong? im running 180mm rotors and bought the adapter at my LBS and they assured me it is the right one? (or is it ) Please help
