  1. Two pics with geo posted right at the top. Brand dependent, but 2.35 - 2.4 without issues. For more info on the frame have a read HERE
  2. Special mention to Bogus Designs for the KILLER paint job.
  3. The Hungry Monkey 2 is a semi-production mountain bike from Mercer Bikes. Made by hand in the Mercer Bikes workshop in Cape Town, it is available in three sizes – M, L and XL. The Hungry Monkey is a relatively lightweight but long travel 650b trail bike based around a 140 – 160mm travel fork. Click here to view the article
  4. 1. Yes. Never had any issues with any of Thule's products 2. Not really. The amount of times I really needed a 3-bike carrier was so few and far between that it didn't justify it for me. Bulk of the time I was driving around with one bike only in any case. Only you will know what will work for you, though. 3. Can't help you here, but I've been to Woodmead and their service and advise is great. Cool bunch f people too.
  5. To clarify Bike as seen under "Bikes" does come with the New Dual Waterbottle Mount DesignFrame only does notOnly the VERY LAST image in the collage at the bottom is a carbon frame and is there to show a close-up of the dual waterbottle mount. The others you can CLEARLY see welds.

    Another opinion http://www.motorsport.com/motogp/news/opinion-the-great-spanish-motogp-conspiracy-fact-or-fiction/ Article is quite balanced, but my views summed up in these 3 paragraphs Pedrosa took 2.2s out of Marquez in eight laps before then, showing that the leaders’ pace had dropped in the closing stages. Again, this is usually when Marquez makes his move – or at least falls off trying. I’ll certainly listen to Rossi’s accusations about why Marquez never tried to overtake Lorenzo – especially when it came to the last lap. It did seem a little out of character for Marquez to be so reserved, as he’s never been backwards in coming forwards. And for a Honda rider not to attack a Yamaha for a grand prix win (recall how Marquez approached the last corner against Rossi at Assen?) Most odd, when you think about it.
  8. Thule's Touring range of roof boxes is available in five sizes and two colour options to fit every need. The full range comes loaded with features and have been shaped with minimal wind resistance and noise in mind. The Touring S (or 100) is the smallest in the range, but can still swallow a healthy 330L of luggage. That translates into three standard sized bags and one oversized bag that was designed to fit inside the nose of the roof box. Click here to view the article
  9. To be 100% confirmed, but at this stage they will be rolling passed Melkbos late Sun afternoon. Will confirm details closer to the time.
  10. No point, really. Just always keen to hear feedback from fellow riders.
  11. The Jet 9 Carbon is Niner's cross-country offering featuring 100mm of rear wheel travel. Although it boasts the same front triangle as its R.D.O (Race Day Optimized) bigger brother, the "Carbon" version as tested has an alloy rear triangle to keep costs in check.

  12. Haven't checked, but Pyga usually approves their frames for 20mm above rear wheel travel 120mm can take 120 - 140mm fork 140mm can take 140 - 160mm fork Even if you could I'd go with Odison and say rather don't. Chances are you will ruin your bike's geo for very little gain. Higher BB, higher & slacker seat tube will make for a very confused bike.

    Pity for JL to be crowned WC under these conditions. He didn't have a bad year, and maybe not his fault MM chose to be his bitch. MM? Wasn't a fan, but could at least acknowledge his speed and talent. Somehow, somewhere this year, the youngster went from go-in-head-first and attempt a move wherever and whenever possible, to cant-even-attempt-a-move-in-28-laps. Well, until he got decisive and a little aggressive defending from his own team mate. I was like whatever about Rossi's comments going into the finale, but today's racing can leave no doubt that he was riding shotgun for his countryman. The reception he received walking out on the podium in his OWN country kinda summed it up. Honda should at the very least ask him a few questions. Anyway. 2015 was an epic year with some AWESOME racing. It has to be said that Rossi did himself no favors when he lost his cool and head in Malaysia. Not saying he did or didn't kick, but he should never have sat up and took his I off the ball. Looking at his pace he could have taken the fight the Lorenzo today. Roll on 2016. #ForzaVale.
  14. I'll get some details tomorrow and post it here.

    To be honest from that and other talkings I gathered for now it's just a "saying something cause something needed to be said" kinda vibe. What's been interesting is reading ALL the teams and riders saying they don't want to say anything cause they've been asked not to. No saucy details, no outburst, no drama...all la-di-da and unicorns and rainbows.

    When will who tell us what is going on with this: "The CAS also clarified that while Lorenzo had been barred from direct involvement in the case, it had "allowed the filing of a written statement by counsel" for Rossi's title rival." http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/121667
