  1. If added all the costs together, my wife may catch wind = divorce.
  2. I have 4 bikes - all shimano. No chice in my mind XT and ultegra are the best value for money.
  3. Mine was new from a merida 3000, never ridder for R 3500. You can swop the teralogic between the manual lockout but the remote lock is unique. I currently ride 2 forks the reba with remote lock on my hardtail and a teralogic on my d/s. Could not picture myself taking my hand off the bar to lock the fork!
  4. True- conversion is not possible, sold mine as I needed the remote lockout option.
  5. Convert to what, from what?
  6. I don't even have 2cm of frame clearance!!
  7. Seat shape and fitment is more important than "hard or soft". I to ride a softer saddle on my hardtail and a firm saddle on my road bike and fs BUT all the seats I use have take a few months to select.
  8. I have fractured my 5th metatarsal (left foot), if you have been through such a fracture before please let me know how long I will be off the bike - even the stat trainer !!
  9. I have 2 sets, no issues to date. The wheels are strong and run smooth.
  10. Took mine off a year ago, never looked back. After 10 years with bar ends, I lost them too.
  11. Buy local and add the CRC goods on the Hub at low low prices.
  12. Hubbers, I stay in Hilton KZN and need a regular training partner. If you can finish the Hill2Hill in 5:30 and do a sub 3 hours amashove please PM me. Mtb on the weekend 3-4 hours per day and road during the week (3 sesions) from 4:30am to 6:30am..…
  13. I am an easton fan, rode 15000km on my curcit,s before upgrading to a set of ea90 slx,s. No problems at all with the curcuits, after a year (big km) on the easton ea90,s I have replaced the cassette, all the rear beaings and one snapped front spoke - all under warrenty by the importer. Love the wheels as they run true and smooth at a light weight.
  14. My last 94.7 was 2:48, I maxed at 190bpm and averaged 170bpm. At 36, I spent 50% of my race over 180bpm. To answer your question as to how long can you go, this depends on your body and training regime.
  15. Hands down, Pietermaritzburg is SA`s cycling Meca.

  17. Good luck, I have broken my ankle twice since Feb 2010....
  18. You have 1 choice, box them and send to Russel at OMNICO. Russel is the best with these wheels, he was trained by Easton and works majic. OMNICO have a swift turnaround time but are closed now for the holidays.

    MTB Wheels

    SLR all the way. Light, stiff, smooth and look cool with the red hub. I have ridden mine for 6 months with no issue at all. Highly recomended!!
  20. Hi, Can I run a 10 speed dura ace cassette with an ultegra 10 speed crank and chain?
  21. Howdy, I am 176 tall and ride a SLC 53 cm, 100mm zero degree stem with no spacers. Best fit ever.
  22. Hi, I use a MT7 lensor mounted on a bike bracket on my road bike. I use rechargeable AAA's and get a good 2 hours. I have 2 sets of AAA’s on eon the bike and the other on the charger. Well worth the price of the torch and the batteries. When the cold comes into KZN, I have a torch in my car and a bike on the stationery trainer- who said guys cannot multitask!! If for mtn bike use, perhaps try 2 torches. I would not go for the headlight/helmet light from lensor as this has less batteries leading to less light.
