  1. Just goes to that you can make a ton of fun where ever you put your wheels. Just how you approach it.
  2. A set of these... unfortunately had to get from overseas. Euro store had them in 25c and R150 more for 2 tyres than I could get here for one in 23c. Very excited to get them on my AMCs and make my evo black on black with a bit of 'go faster' silver! http://static.webshopapp.com/shops/052387/files/035044092/schwalbe-pro-one.jpg
  3. Red route in reverse... Jeez I wouldn't be super pumped for all the stair work which is fun on the normal way around. Doesn't it also take the fun DH (as in it goes down hill not is a DH section) single track section and then make it a climb and all the descending parts are now pretty average, wide jeep track?
  4. Awesome fun. Greg is such a legend and Warner can have his own chat show as far as I'm concerned. The first episode with Peaty and Ratboy was even better. At least downhill still has some characters in the whole MTB scene.
  5. Ebay.. they have an auction on for a couple of unused MTN ones. Or CRC @ R120 a pop. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/met-rivale-hes-helmet-2016/rp-prod138461
  6. Jeez cracked the podium for the first time. Must be my thirst for knowledge!
  7. Who is going the the non 'premium' wine partner? Robertson wine in a box? Maybe they can slip in a brown sherry sponsor for the mechanics? Does this mean it's the 'burg is a proper sponsor (on the kit) or just pays a bit to supply wine to events and get exposure at the hospitality tents, website, in publicity ect as a 'supplier'.
  8. Especially when you know what an advocate makes an hour... that's a lot or Argus entries just to get one hour down the line on this.
  9. Joined the aero gang today... Louis Garneau Course. Pipped the Kask Protone, Giro Synthe and Bontrager Ballista for a variety of reasons. Had to order from overseas because I couldn't find it locally (same with the Bontrager). At the moment you can also get a new Protone, Synthe and POC for around the £99 mark on Ebay from proper online bike shops. That's about a R2K saving if that's your thang! http://content.competitivecyclist.com/images/items/large/LGN/LGN0833/BK_D1.jpg
  10. Best things.... Felton Road Pinot, Otago (Pinot central and snow slopes), Montheths, Unbelievably friendly people who actually could be hobbits, the country side, Lake Ohau, rolling in a Campervan and being loved so much so they put power points in the car parks of the pubs and let you stay, the scenery, the produce & food, L&P, Wanaka, heliboarding, Raglan, public infrastructure and the fact they changed that weird right turn law! Fact their currency is always worse then aussie. And finally terrain that was carved from some trail bike fantasy and just needs some time to get lost with it. Sweet as bro! Bad and ugly? Possums are top of the food chain! There are as many social issues and trouble as anywhere in certain parts of and society but I'm no sociologist. A night on the Speights. It rains... alot that's why the nth island is so green and the south island cops so much white stuff. Having to be called 'Bin' and write with a 'pin' and order fush 'n chups. The fact it's along way from Sydney which is a long way from anywhere. Price of property and 60's California baby boomers hammering the price up as they tell you it's just like the US used to be before it sold out. I love the joint and will be retiring there (if not sooner).

    Rugby...

    Wonder if they'll try to get Eddie...
  12. Unless where you want to go fast is downhill....
  13. Who was in their team for this? Was it just the local lads from the pro team or was it feeder riders as well?
  14. The man is a legend. Inspired me all the way through his riding career and he's been up at the top for so many years. Had the privilege to spend a few of days filming him and Shaun Palmer way back when in France. Was utter madness unleashed... I could barely function each morning and they were destroying every trail, corner and the rest. Was one of those situations when you realise how much above the rest some athletes are.
  15. That is a great addition. Very under estimated rider. 2nd & 3rd in roubiax n ronde. Team DD is looking very exciting for next year. Just hope they get WT status this week.
  16. 50% of me has now left the 'Where Giants Roam' thread with the addition of this little beauty. As much as I hate to say it as I love them but I need to dump the AMC's in favour of some black on black hoops. The red 'n white is annoying me.
  17. Would have love to have got in on this years one. When I'm back on the pedals... I'm there!
  18. Are you playing 1-up on me?
  19. Just a sneak thread hijack... Selling my 2011 TCR Advanced here on the hub.
  20. Looks likes a collarbone. Coming Down chappies towards Hout Bay a guy on a bike decided to u turn with out looking. Nothing I could, do T-bone'd at pace. Weirdly new 'dale is fine and managed to stop my garmin.
  21. Constantia berg emergency room. Nuts.
  22. Best idea! Will save a fortune in swear box donations as I watch an important nut roll away never to be found again.
  23. 100%... they never existed.
