Was pretty cold last year and in all liklihood going to be cold on Saturday as well. I for one am not complaining even though it means finnishing later.

We al make mistakes, I'm sure it was not intentional

Depending on amount of damages Two options - litigation is expensive, their insurance unlikely to pay as he did not have a license therefore try to negotiate with mommy & daddy. Second option lodge a claim in small claims court and do case yourself no lawyers allowed on either side Good luck, glad you ok

Pardon my ignorance - Thaba Toughee? where is it situated?

Had gripshift on my previous bike (9spd) - never looked back. Like the man said - easier and quicker shifting. and it also frees up clutter on your handlebar. When I upgraded to new bike (10spd) Gripshift was not out as yet. Will however wait for the price to come down first.

Geax is a great tyre but I am also disappointed in the wear of my Aka. Ride Sanguoro at front and Aka/Barro on the back. Rode my Aka until the knobleys were nearly entirely gone on the top. Guess approx 1000km in total. Found the Barro Race to be more durable on the back

I weigh 100kg and ride on 1.6Bar. Suggest that you experiment like Sometime suggested above. Take your usual riding trail and begin with 1.8 and drop it over the same trial over several rides, is however important to use the same gauge in order to get an accurate feel as gauges differ substantially.

Cosmetic damage, should not interfere with the internal workings of th fork. Have no fear - still safe to ride

if the frame is fake I would question whether the parts are genuine as well.

Have you tried putting on some carbon paste on the seatpost - worked for me on my Tallboy

Money down the drain if you ask me - would not even consider pusuing it if it was me. Sure way to get burnt

Hi Corbie, i have a XL which i would like toswap for XXL. I know it does not help you, but it would help me.

Most sceptics eventually come round once they have experienced the joy's of a 29er

Use a Polaris bike case myself - low weight and not as expensive as some of the other cases. Fits my XL 29er if you unscrew handles (@stem), derailler from frame & pedals. SAA also stil allows 20kg free for bicycles. Mango may do so as well, dont know. BA and Kulula however does not provide any free carraige for bicycles.

With this kind of service it is no wonder they have managed to stay in business for so long

Not that I am one for prejudging people & events but I sincerely hope that this has a positive outcome in that it leads to better safety, not just for cyclist, on our roads.

Only shimano 10spd as far as i know, with sram you dont have this problem

Last time i had problems i dealt with Peter Sidebottom of Planet Cycles (011) 4963222. They had the distribution rights 2 years ago I dont know whether still do, but phone him, very helpfull chap

Bummer, I share your frustration. Ordered a new fork which was dispatched by seller in US on 30 Apr and according to local Post Office has been lying with customs since its arrival on the 7 May.

Mavic C29 - bullitproof

Good luck bro - will pop in when i am in the east again

Hans Snijckers - Pta East - 012 8075695. He is not one for cutting unnecessarily. Sorted me and i am back on my bike after 4 mnths

Kings kloof on Hendrik Potgieter past Hadeco and i believe their is one in Krugersdorp somewhere

Only really going to need it on day 2. Mind you, if humidity is high the extra juice may come in handy

A bit peefed myself. Recently noticed scuffmarks on my stanchions. Need to replace crown & steerer on my fox 29' . Rather opting for new Fox Talas - kashima coating is supposed to help prevent this isue. Suppose will have to wait and see
