So I got myself a new bike, that was left over old stock (2009) with a Fox Float RL 140mm at the front. Anyway, pumped up the fork to the recommended PSI for my weight, and couple minutes later - 'pop' - this happened. Is this an easy fix? Indicative of a bigger problem or simply just a result of the bike sitting in limbo for almost 5 years? Any tips would be great, don't want to take short cuts in remedying it, but I also wanna ride the dam thing!

As the title suggests - what are some factors that one should consider when deciding on a selling price for their bike? I think its quite a tricky game - come in too low and you let it go for a steal, come in too high and people laugh you off and keep browsing. Lemme know what you have based your prices on? And any general tips for the first time sellers

So it's generally agreed that if you want to stay safe, ride in a group. However, sometimes its not always possible or you just want to get out and do a solo ride. With that in mind, are there any known methods out there for giving yourself a bit of a fighting chance to ride off with your ride and hide intact. Would something like easily accessible pepper spray or the like be a good deterrent? Or does any proactive action to protect yourself usually end badly? Anyone got some strange methods for keeping safe solo?

Yup, thats him! Crazy stuff man! 89 snakes, holy hell!

I haven't come pipe in a while, and that sucks! Haha, coz when its been a while that you have wiped, you just KNOW, soon, that you are going to eat sh*t!

Yeah, sick film! Watched Life Cycles the other day, also pretty sick, just had way too little riding!

Saw this while browsing!

Hey jonquil, sorry this reply so slow! I actually bought a DJ bike off of Obike, a GT Ruckus. Obviously GT gets a bad rap for being mass produced, but for the R5700 I paid for it, with R800 of free accessories, its honestly the best bike I have owned after a little customizing! There are a few more on Obike, and if you haven't managed to get a bike, I would suggest you have a look

Not cycling related, but a guy across the road from my girlfriend keeps snakes, and apparently whilst trying to take pictures of his Egyptian Spitting Cobra to sell, it spat right in his eyes. By the time his friend had put the snake away and went to check on the guy who was washing out his eyes, he was dead. Freaky stuff man! Begs the question though, should people be able to own such crazy snakes? Permit or not? Imagine if that got out and did the same to some poor sod on the street??

Man these are

Anyone seen any good bike vidz lately?

You should be able to download them off the pirate bay!

Man these road bikes are sweet, pity in my town there are more potholes than road!

Single speed is GREAT, no tech issues! Just need legs made of steel!

Is that the Nugget?? Check out this link if you wana see someone dominate that bike!! Chris Akrigg

HAPPY SPRING DAY, or in the case of this thread, HAPPY 'SNAKES ARE GOING TO BE OUT NOW' DAY :)

If you listen whilst you riding or before you set off, what songs stoke you up to ride that little bit faster and closer to the edge? Or just have you singing along whilst you fly down the trails?? For me right now its Sonic Syndicate-We Rule the Night and Trivium- Pull Harder on the Strings of My Martyr A bit of an acquired hard rock taste

Man all pretty sick machinery!

We all have a dream bike, for whatever discipline one might take part in! If money and availabilty were no object,what would you be riding??!! Oh and put a price! Here is mine Only 33K

Nice to see this thread growing, even if its freaking some people out! Had a run in with a puffie this saturday!! Building jumps between two fields near my house and I often take the dogs with for safety and company! On this occasion my girlfriend brought her two jack russels and I took along the german shepard! As we got there, the dogs all got out as per usual, my girlfriend followed them whilst I inspected the ramp. A few seconds later I hear screaming about a snake, quickly rushed over and called the dogs and got them back into the bakkie! My girlfriend then informed me that her two dogs had run over it, and mine had stood right on top of it, before she realised that they were stading on a snake (curled up and huge was her description) and shouted to them! Drove around to see if we could spot hima after that, but no sign of the bugger! All I can say is, thank God none of the dogs were bitten and now I am to *** scared to go build jumps

Come on, has no one ever fallen of their bike??

The clue is in the title! Want to read your wipeout stories, we all have them!

I wish...

Hi guys... Looking for a new DJ machine, something ready made and sold in South Africa. So the likes of Mongoose, Scott, Specialized and GT... My question is,does anyone have any idea what bike shops are charging for any jump bikes from the manufacturers??

Luckily I haven't come as close as you guys! Guess its a small price to pay to ride in this beautiful country, doesnt mean I can't be *** scared though
