Just a question to the guys that carry a small bottle of Stan's How do you get it into the tyre? If you unseat it and pour it in can you reseat it with a CO2 bomb? Interested to learn.

Well if you dont have a tyre lever there are two ways. First unseat the tyre all the way round and then with brute force roll it off the rim. Second and the easiest is to use the lever of your skewer.

It's even a nuisance on social rides. I have a mate that always wants to ride with our group but then rocks up with earphones in. What's the point of riding with us. We are real social riders talking and joking on route and then he always asks what happened or what's so funny. Misses the point of the ride. Now if you on your own doing some hard core intervals or something fair enough have some music going but not on a social ride and definitely not in a race. I had a big crash at Nissan down and dirty three years ago cause the person with headphones in front of me couldn't hear me say hold your line, they swerved as I came up along side them and we both ended up in a pile.

Exactly I've seen men wearing less at camps bay. If anything they should ban those weirdos from the beach.

Walkerville Hill is another small old school mtb race.

My bro does. but only to see how much money he has wasted. Its more cause the Pro's drink the ones with the green tabs.

Am I the only one that is pissed that the new monster cans dont have a green pulltab anymore?

Hakahana is the only Nissan race I haven't done. And after speaking to some friends who did it I am glad I didnt. Apparently they took you up some ridiculous steep climb(that i dont mind) only to bring you down a concrete strip???? I dont mind bleedin g from the eyeballs on a climb if I am gonna get rewarded with so nice single track back down.(be it techincal or fast and flowing) DONT make me climb just for the sake of racking up some numbers.

Even Greg, Gee and Sam wear cleats on "pedally" courses like PMB.

You guys seriously trying to say you would want access to the gear pro have? I participate in different sports and would love to have the pros kit in all of them MTB - Sauser's kits, helmets, shoes, unlimited access to SRAM. (Not so much the bike) Rugga- Adidas predator boots, Canterbury clothing, underarmour. Cricket- would love a crack with Chris Gayle's bat and AB's kit. Golf- who wouldn't want a brand new set of TaylorMades every year. Saloman you say, yes please The pros use the equipment that is at the absolute forefront of our sport. It is the best of the best for the intended use, why should we not want to use it cause they do. Look I understand different strokes for different folks ( I haven't owned a derailer in 2years, sold my carbon spez for a piece of steal) but that's not saying that the stuff I do have is not the best I can afford, and if what I can afford is what the pros use then that's what it'll be. We all like nice things. We all like to know that the tool we are using is the best we can get for the job at hand.

Stolen or bike jacked. Sorry I ride the area and just wanna know if its still relatively safe?

Damn but the UCI is a bunch of boring old farts. The website is so full of things they banned. Any time something new comes out its their automatic response.

Wow And I thought I was overdoing it cleaning my bike once a week

you guys are forgetting Buffalo (MTN Quebeka)

aaah "Black Sheep" Had many many beers with these lads at SS world champs. they have invited to come and test out some of their creations when I'm in the states again.

One day

I moved

If its too nice I'm gonna have to make an anonymous call to outsurance about sabotage.

Once again big bulging muscles built up in the gym are of very little use out on the trail. Sure it great to have good core strength and it'll help with some explosive power but they don't help with anything over 90sec. And don't really know how being able to bench press 120 kg over 80kg is gonna help with anything other than getting up off the floor after a fall.

I wonder what Pista's favourite bike brand is?

will do

Correct it is a Peace 9er. Bought it off a mate of mine, had it sandblasted and powdercoated. stickers courtesy of Bandit signs.

My Magic gear 34:18. No haha, the frame has Horizonetal dropouts and with a halflink chain I can run any ratio.

I'm lucky enough to own one of my dream SS Bikes. I know its not much but I feel like a kid again when I ride it and its a "no frills, no fuss" ride. Have owned carbon and its nice but always felt like I had to baby it and worry about scratching it and jumping it. I know carbon is probably tougher than my steel frame but thats just how I felt and its all about how you feel on the bike. There are many bikes I would love to own but I'd never ride so whats the point? So this piece of Simbi is one of my Dream SS bikes.
