  1. I went through his website but also emailed to get some advice and info. He is not quick but always answered

  3. Singular Swift: Jeff Jones loop bar; Fire-eye headset and BB Arch rims on Hope 2 hubs built up by Ruan from Spokeworks Paul components crank El cheapo CB pedals Truvativ seatpost Forget the stem but not expensive (80mm) and XT brakeset Currently running it at 32/20 and rigid. Because I am so unfit I took a fair old pounding with the rigid fork and may just try a carbon fork before considering suspension at all. The Jones bars took a while to get set up because there are so many permutations but just right now (I have a Ragley Carnegie lying around if I want to try a more racing setup) Absolutely love it

  5. I am going to go for slow
  6. Holy crap Didn't realize I had a fear of heights until I looked at that
  7. I bought my wife the Bryton 35 and neither the cadence nor the heart rate monitor have ever worked. Bryton was also, to say the least, not exactly helpful
  8. Uhmmmm........actually a Niner fork is what I would like. Although I understand Momsem also make one now - have yet to see it though
  9. I have been looking for a Niner carbon fork for my Singular - where would I be able to get one and what do they go for? There was one in the classifieds a few weeks ago but steerer length was too short.
  10. Mr Armstrong is a monster in my opinion. Probably one the best athletes we have or will see in our lifetime
  11. Singlespeed.co.za Have had them on both single speeds for almost a year - brilliant idea and work like a bomb with no problems
  12. That's where I got mine - second set for me and one for the wife and very happy. Not in Centurion though - he is off the N4 towards Witbank
  13. Done a lot of km's on mine now - rigid single speed and some very technical stuff included with zero problems
  14. 1.7 bar on my 29" Saguaro 2.2's - two different rims ZTR and WTB. Weigh 98 at the moment. Never have had a problem even on really rocky technical stuff
  15. Yanking your chain. A witch rides a broom, which is actually the word you should be using But seriously, ZTR Arch are great, strong rims, I am a similar size and weight. Think Buycyle were selling them as wheelsets at one stage. You could quite easily build a wheel at your budget though?
  16. The one on the broom
  17. 42 years old and pretty well banged up, almost 100kg and ride a steel 29er, rigid and single speed. Apparently I swear a lot while I ride but still the most fun I have had on a bike that I can think of
  18. There like a bear. Wife is in too
  19. Some "mik en druk" photo's from Ireland
  20. Real 36"
  21. Not sure how the chap at the back is not blowing his mate in front of him's pip of?
  22. The whole of Waterkloof Ridge (of which Klapperkop is on the point)has lots of pretty steep climbs as well. You can string them together and get some seriously good hill training in
  23. +1 I'm in the same boat so not complaining at all
  24. 32 - 21 Singlespeed?
