  1. Does anyone know where one can get a set of P ZERO Velo 28C's?
  2. Still my favorite Trail in the country - my home of MTB for sure!!! Brings a smile to my face just thinking of it...
  3. Suunto Ambit 2 HR Sapphire - or the 3..
  4. Does anyone know how much trail (worthwhile trail) is cut out by doing pofadder vs the normal route down the otherside of the mountain then onto the river? Keen to try Pofadder... anyone got a good 60km GPX to share with the best route to take?
  5. Owned both. The Giant is one amazing bike. Can't fault it in any way. The Tallboy casts a different type of spell on you when you take your first ride and every consequent one... Don't know how to explain this better, but to answer your question: Tallboy Carbon, it is better than exceptional.
  6. too much aggro here.. - too many roadies turning to MTB... But I agree - no helmet, no ride. It's selfish to those who have to clean up, to your family/ friends, to yourself.
  7. XT period!
  8. A quick one: on the comparative contact patch, is more better in sticky clay-like mud? With a 29er it feels felt like it's worse.. suction formed??
  9. Yip, some serious weather planned for us this weekend in the Cape!!! Could always re-enact day 2 of the race and hit Jonkershoek on Sunday... PSD will be too sh*t scared to join!
  10. Anyone else been suffering from PSD (Post Sani2c Depression) today? Hitting me like a ton of bricks today!!! Worse than last year!!!
  11. I am understanding this as: - Riding 2/3 abreast = playing on Avbob's stoep. - Cyclists stay safe with cars giving a 1.5m berth of them. Correct?
  12. Pls give exact area of mugging - google earth etc. I think it a good idea to build a database of where these moegoes hide and attack their victims..
  13. FOR ***** SAKES!!!!! Just when i thought these ***** have stopped their mugging antics on table mountain, another one!!! Been riding there for a year again now with no reports. We need to take our trails and landmarks back - any innovative ideas??
  14. Channel 205 *LIVE*: Tears in my Eyes!!!!! LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  15. This is heartbreaking!!! RIP Burry: May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
  16. +1 for Renay and Ergofit.
  17. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the ball hairs of the f#@ker who stole it!!!!!
  18. Weight vs reliability... Hope Hubs are unmatched ito performance and reliability (only by Chris King imo - very pricey); The Stans Crest/ Arch rims are top notch.
  19. Mackie has it spot on - you will not be sorry!!!
  20. MTB was born at Eselfontein - it is sublime!!!
  21. This has worked for me on Avid, Magura, Shimano, and Hayes. Should be selling this info for a million bucks... But nothing pisses me off more than noisy brakes in a race/ ride - so hopefully this silences some wailing... Remove pads. If pads are contaminated, soak them in 100% clean green as do so for the discs too. The trick is to remove the 90degree short side edges of the pads with a file, place some copper slip (1cm square and about .25mm thick) BEHIND the pads (ie between the pads and the brake piston). This has always worked for me. No sanding of discs and pad surfaces - causes more contamination... Also I only ever buy organic compound pads - the metal sintered tend to be more noisy.. Spray discs and brake calipers with good amounts of cleen green everytime you wash your bike - wash clean with jet of water. Running Avids now and they are DEAD quiet!!!
