Well done! That is a *** load of peddling for a downhill course... wow. Love the full dirt roadie / xc look with the aero helmet, skin tight lycra, long stem, 100mm, crazy head angle no bouncy bits at the back! Horses for courses and the Kom got KO'd, just goes to show. Would be interesting to see what your enduro rig would delver as well.
Mallet 2's... Not 100% I'm going to retire the 'never-serviced-and-always-awesome-Shimano-DX' faithful red metals (none of that plastic cage nonsense) but they are on hand. Just in case. Bought from a fellow hubber. Like new. Legend.
You should see the 'bike lane' around Forries most afternoons. The parking there is shocking and it seems the rule IS to park on the bike lane to get 3ft closer to the pub. Might take some surfboard wax next time and make some notes.
Hey hey', thought you'd left! That little beauty is currently a steal @ £15 (wiggle) or £18 @ Tredz. Doesn't attract duty here and is under the R500 limit so just rolls to SA with no extra costs. Should be delivered by Monday.
Just spoke to the CTCT. Apparently loads of people trying to access the system on the first day has broken it. They seem surprised that everyone is trying to apply on the first day. They are trying to fix it but the offical word is 'don't bother trying today'. My official word was 'try taking the site offline while you're trying to fix it if it doesn't work and put a splash screen up saying 'it's not working' until you fix it'.
New build is under way... Boxes have been arriving. Final touches being bought. Thanks to Droo @ Stoke for the wheel help yesterday, rubber advice and pulling out these Deity grips when I was happily walking out the door. Gotta love a flange... Dual 180 rotors, no point posting pics! And then these bad boys: http://static.jensonusa.com/images/Color-Image/Zoom/6/G0001RW4.jpg
Love the look of these and if there is a 120 external then that would be a winner. And to be honest that 1x trigger is a great idea. They just need to make that trigger available for other makes (giant... hint, hint) or my current post needs to pack up so I have an excuse to get one of these! Great to see a SA company in the market and bringing real world value, a quality product and backing themselves with the warranty and the cartridge. Good luck!
