  1. JR was wearing USN kit at Die Burger MTB yesterday. Is he not riding for FedGroup anymore?
  2. Take a look at the Scott Aspect 10. It's similar to the Silverback Alpine 1 but with 10speed so much better for future upgradeability and for only a few R100 more. It ticked all the boxes: -Air Shock (Recon Silver) -Shimano Disc brakes (Has a great feel to it) -3x10 speeds (Deore with XT RD) -Hollowtech 2 crank (easy to service bb) Link: http://www.scott-sports.com/global/en/products/221750/aspect-10/ Price: +- R7500 The Scott Aspect 10 is the bike that sells the most in that price category according to severall bike shops.
  3. My Polar says 1455m climb, but the thing was not lekker so could have been more. I managed a 3:08 in the 60km. Route markers and waterpoints were really great. Meurant's new trailtag system works WAY better than the prototype. Well done on a great race. Results are here: http://www.amarider.co.za/ama/php/2012/Burger/30m.php Just remember these are live results and they still have to sort some stuff out, but you can at least check your time. Pitty the Spur burgers didn't even last till before the prizegiving
  4. I was a bike mechanic in my previous life, I love working on and building bikes!
  5. My order still just say "Payment Received" after 2 weeks....
  6. Rev hom soos 'n rental!
  7. Something like that yes. I'm B, 60km
  8. Jis Wynand Ekt 'n 1.4 carb, en ek kry so rondom 11km/L, het al tot 15,6km/L gekry langpad. Ek ry nooit vinniger as 110km/h nie en het 'n aftermarket aircon in. Myne was ook al 'n bietjie uit, die beste is maar om die kar te diens by VW of VW specialists. Sterkte Janno
  9. That looks really good!
  10. Ride tonight 17:30 from BMT
  11. Ralph Naef stays in Stellenbosch, so you should also stay here. Plenty of trails around and much much more if you go 1hour max per car. (Grabouw, Tokai etc)
  12. I like Giant, but the Scott has the best components. Both the Scott and the Giant is around 11,6kg with heavy wheelsets, which you can upgrade later. The Momsen is 11,9kg with an already light wheelset, those frames are very heavy. Of your choice it will be the Scott. But for that money nothing beats the Siverback Vida 1. (Fox, Shimano XT, Crest Wheelset, 11,3kg)
  13. Can anything stop the Caveman?
  14. Try 60psi both sides. You can play with it, that table is only a guide line. The positive and negative don't have to be the same aswell. Like try 60psi for + and 50psi for -.
  15. As jy van die Merida hou en XT parte wil he, is 'n goeie opsie om die R30 000 model te koop wat klaar vol XT is, en dan 'n stel lekker wiele te kry. http://www.merida-bikes.com/en_za/bike/2012/14/MTB+Hardtail/Big.Nine+Carbon+3000-D Lees hier oor wiele: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/116783-light-weight-wheels-for-heavy-okes-29ers/ https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/116275-scott-spark-pro-29-wheels/ https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/116217-29er-wheels-weight/ https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/116078-wish-list-29-er-wheels/ Custom build: Raam R10k Fork R6k Groupset R8k vir XT Wiele R5000+ Ander R6k Lees maar bietjie rond op die hub, amper niemand stem saam nie, maar jy sal goeie advies kry
  16. Ongelukkig is dit nie myne nie! Het die net een keer gery, dit was baie lekker. Dit het geen sideways flex nie, maar wel die flexstays wat 'n baie gemaklike rit gee. Die Merida het 'n laer BB as ander fietse, wat dit ook baie lekker handling gee. Ek het 'n Giant Alloy 29er so kan dit nie eintlik met ander vergelyk nie. Ander sy van die saak is dat jy met 'n R50k++ budget 'n moerse lekker custom build kan opbou.
  17. Best is to go and ride it, the Merida is very, very good, but I haven't ridden the Spez yet.
  18. Burry gebruik dit, en as Burry dit gebruik dan moet dit werk.
  19. Woensdag 17:30 vanaf BMT, sien dan!
  20. My answer is Fox. Has to do with setup and handposition
  21. Yes they even helped me to get the proof of purchase for the warranty, since I've bought it from a guy who won it in a comp.
  22. The Genius 700 is really a pretty bike!
  23. The one that fits the best and doesn't give you a mushroom head
  24. Orders over R500 inc free shipping at Cwc.
