  1. No peaty in there cap? Looking at the footage from earlier this week Greg is looking super strong. Gee is still on a confidence high from last week so I thnk he has a good chance.
  2. I heard something snap and just slammed on the breaks, just a couple of scratched spokes. Tried bending the mech back to normal but no luck. Who do you fancy for the win tomorrow?
  3. Ma bad Here is a better pic...
  4. This is what happend last saturday, first day on my bike. So for tomorrow I'm running a Acera 8 speed with 9 speed jockey wheels on, till my CRC order comes in
  5. Nice ride patches!
  6. Hey Thermophage, I did home schooling actually, I know stacks of guys who where in your year though. Downhill died out for a bit in PE, its on the up n up now. There are a whole bunch of guys reviving DH here, the 3rd avenue track you talking about is very run down. I stay close to it so we might take a spade and panga there sometime, maybe join us? Apparently there are some guys building at longmore, tried getting hold of them so we can help but no joy yet. My "crew" are hitting woodridge right now, thats kinda our project spot, we doing some maintenance on the downhill course there, at the moment its very flowy with washed out berms and smooth singletrack, it is sooo good. Want to make them berms deeper so we can hit them faster and try open up the bottom section so we can add some more character to it. Pm your details, we must build and ride, the more the better. We a friendly bunch, no super bling bikes and shiny kit, just love riding.
  7. Oh Andrew won the US open, my bad. I remember Graves won sea otter on a small travel bike, he is proper good!
  8. Needles has loads of potential stashed away, he clubbed the sea otter good and solid. And he seems like a cool guy too. Trek give good support to their riders so I dont think he will be looking round, unless you know something I don't? Danny Hart is awesome, good character and riding style. He doesn't get enough coverage if you ask me, that's party Giant's fault, they need to get more videos out like trek, syndicate, redbull/commencal and monster/spesh are doing, I lap that stuff up, everyone want to see team vids!
  9. I think Peaty has enough left physically but his competitive edge seems to be fading, needs a kick in the pants. Dont know if Sam is strong enough for this weekend, but its the last race so he might give it all. Next year's world cup is going to be wild, I cant wait. So many good riders in the top 30. Keen to see Troy Brosnan's riding next year, he will be a bit bigger and stronger then, he is awesome.
  10. Will have to give it a go and see if it works. Good to see Sam Hill back on the bike hey? Looks like he was just taking it easy, resting up for the big bash this weekend. Peaty is looking strong for a win, he looks keen for that jersey again Not gunna lie, I'm really bummed Greg lost the World Cup by 0.37s to Gee. Both great riders though.
  11. Spokes survived somehow, locked the brakes when I heard the crunch. I have 5 link that are bent on my chain, think I can remove them and still get by? I have a 36 tooth up front and a 11-34 tooth cassette.
  12. Building your own bike from scratch to super fun, enjoy! Will post pics up of my 05 Kona Stab, soon as its up and running again. Took her out for a first downhill run and snapped the mech hanger pulling everything into the rear wheel. New deraileur, chain and cable all bent beyond repair
  13. So Cap, do you stay close to signal hill? Seems like you spend a lot of time over there, I'm jealous.
  14. I watched "F1rst" for the first time last week, Sam Hill's race run in Champery gave me goosebumps, going that fast in those conditions is mind blowing. Capricorn, do you have a link to the DirtTv vid you talking about?
  15. That section in follow me is my favourite too. The footage from the heli is just awesome. Must try find "the entree". Have to say I dont like Sam Hill, hell he is prob the best rider on earth but anyone who can take anything away from Greg must fall and hurt their shoulder Plus he is australian!
  16. The Greg Minnaar shoe looks great (biased)! How many of you guys use SPD's? I use flats at the moment, what are the advantages?
  17. Sometimes I forget this is a photo thread Thanks for the reminder Patches.
  18. Friend of mine had one of these in 2000, so old school! Presenting the World Force VR1!
  19. We need a downhill section, this thread is soooo general and getting long and out of hand. Imagine a thread for "show off your ride here", "track building" ect. Please Mr. Admin?
  20. You could contacting Omnico. They are the distributors for GT in South Africa, if they cant help they will certainly point you in the right direction. Or go to your nearest bike shop
  21. Sweet ride Robb! Im in PE too, a couple of us want to get together and build some trails in the valley sometime, something more geared toward downhill/freeride bikes. Ever do urban riding in town?
  22. Nice one! Now I'm enlightened too, thanks.
  23. I'm very new to the downhill scene so I'd love to be enlightened Have a look at this thread and then shoot at will! LinkyLink Obvious differences are the decals and the colour of the lowers ( can be changed easily ) Top crown is a different shape too.
  24. Boxxer world cup for sale here https://www.bikehub.co.za/index.php?/topic/75175-rockshox-boxxer-world-cup/ Still looks good
  25. Site is working beautifully in firefox 3.6.6 and the poo in a shoe IE8, even on my slow 384 line.
