I believe in evolution and have proof!

O boy, a real thread.

Ratio for h2h, 1 part pain to 2 parts fatigue.. good luck.

Mtb runs at 2 bar, road runs at 8+bar. I would not try a road tire repair. I would however use a damaged tyre on the stationery trainer.

Dood, parraffin is oil based. It belongs far away from a rotor.

Car wash has a wax / polish in it. Dish washing liquid is best, I wash all components - even the disks.

As a backup in a race, has anybody run a 26inch tube in a 29 inch wheel? Obviously lighter and smaller to carry. Read this sometime ago in Ride but need a view from those with experience.

As normal, ITS GOING TO HURT

Yesterday and today were border summer! Friday looks wet, Sat and Sun are good.

Your computer is not accurate??

Tubeless are a real good option on the road. Sudden flats are reduced.

Simple, fitement of the lid on your PIP... I ride the gage, that thing is light and feels like a toy. Really nice lid!!

Ya, what he said

At R120K, a superbike is easy decision. I will not spend that on a mtb.

Operating costs are increasing, some companies pass a percentage to the consumer while absorbing a share themselves. Bike and such (direct importers) appear to simply pass a BIG increase to us while blaming the exchange rate. Rand looses 10% value - consumers then see a 30% price increase on the shop floor. Swiming seems a better sport, goggles and a speedo...

On a mountain bike, 4000 km on a single chain WILL eat your cassette. I maintain my bikes very well and use a park chain toll to measure wear, depending on mud / dust / lube used you will battle to get 2000 km on a singe chain before it is worn to the point of needing replacement. Going over 2000 km on a single chain will mean a worn cassette and worn rings.

I have a simple rule, I ride the bike = I work on the bike. When heading down a hill at 90+ kph, I need to be sure each bolt is in place. I only trust myself....

Guys, Its like buying a 2lt Coke at the Ultra City and trying to equate the price to Spar...

If I shave, my wife says she will stop!

Simply no other options!

I battled to seat my Ikons, my compressor @ 8 bar failed !!!! Used a bomb as the last resort, slime vanished!!! Once seated my Icons did leak a little air but after the 1st ride I had no further issues at all. Due to the packing of the tyre (all folded) seating proves a challenge, try putting a tube in the tyre over night. The tube helps the tyre to take the correct form enabling you to seat the tyre a lot faster the following day.

BMC !!

Have you ridden the dura ace 9000 bakes?? I suspect NOT.....
