MTBc

What single speed cranks are you running in front ? Using a tensioner? Crank with bigger teeth ? Maybe some pics of front ring setup....

Just saw a post by pigspotter a couple of hours ago.. Cyclist has been knocked down on Robin, just before Main road in Bryanston. anyone know more info about this?

thanks thanks rouxtjie, hopefully i can find it on saturday

R860 a month if I commute once a week, which I more or less do. Now the trick is to get strong enough to ride to the riding venues 100km to Cullinan would have been a bit of a killer.

Correct me if I'm wrong VG regulars, but i think the floating bridge is at the Start of this: http://app.strava.com/segments/4255812

I have 3 Strava KOMs.... that MUST count for something?????

explain to the noob, please, what the major differences between XC, trail and all mountain are? I know different bikes are labelled as xc / am / trail based on things like travel & ds/ht, but what are the key characteristics in determining what type of RIDE i just went on? I know I do mountain biking on a HT with 100mm travel. sometimes i hit drops and big climbs, cross rivers and bridges. sometimes i ride nice smooth flowy trails through forests and along jeep track. have no idea how to answer the "discipline" question.

Silverback missing too.

cycling airbag helmet FTW see more here http://www.sensortip...ing-protection/ I wonder if a decent down breedts would trigger a deploy....

i reach'd the same conclusion without a drop.

cupboard of death... wonderful toyboxes.

In that case... i think i got to the bottom of it.

just ordered.... Been itching to get off entry level Alexrim Dp20's + shimano hubs for too long now.... *edit* resized image

meanwhile... the rest of us sit in semi-suspense.....

did this 3 weeks ago. Faulty Edge305 (battery pins get bad connection, so it kept turning off). walked in saturday morning, 15 minutes and R1300 later, a brand new in-the-box Edge500 bundle (which I sold here, got a 2nd hand standalone unit for R1400 here) - so upgrade cost me R100 overall.

+1. Maybe a frame of a lighter alloy if you have an entry level, or changing your gearing, if you're running 3x10 -> 1x10 / 1x11

After riding with an Edge 305 for 8 months, have just upgraded to the 500 a couple of weeks ago. Very happy with the unit, works well.

That's why I use Garmin. *edit* only saw jcza's reply now....

We used to call it "angry and coke"

If you call a brandy an Irish, you might p*** some people off...

- That fork is 2.4kg. Get an air fork to save 1kg. - Probably have a fair amount of weight you could shed in the wheelset + tubeless conversion. - depending on your riding strength, 2x10 or 1 speed in front could also save a bit of weight (1x10 / 1x11 = 1 less shifter / der and lighter crank).

I hope you ordered a Fish Eagle brandy on the rocks when you got back.

awesome story! The bird must have been going for the hare hair.

are results available anywhere?
