  1. hey guys, weather for tommorow night looks good 18:30 engen la romantica?
  2. i also broke an AC one, 2days later another dude comes to me asking if i have a spare valve, he also broke his AC valve. . . those ac valves are crap!
  3. Rapide. . . what a lovely bike, i dont no about faster, but feels much more secure on singletrack
  4. amf has internal cabling and bb30 bottombracket where the promotion has a normal bb and normal external cabling. you do get a adapter for the amf to go from bb30 to standard. i'm also in stellenbosch if you want to check out my amf29, pm me cheers
  5. i wont recommend first ascent, next time i'm going for anatomic, i like the racer http://www.weardirect.co.za/kind-product/cycling-clothing-shorts the padding also last much longer than FA
  6. hey WW got the Ikon's from Ralph Naef after the epic, don't know when it's going to be on the market, but really a great tyre to look out for
  7. thanx guys, for the tips and the laugh!
  8. i love working on my bike, but greasy hands afterwards can be a real pain! a simple trick that works well is to rub your hands with a bit of degreaser beforehand, and let it dry. this creates a layer and your hands are much easier to clean any tips or tricks for clean hands afterwards that you want to share?
  9. got my x9 more than a year ago, never touched them ever since. must admit x0 are beter, try to get the x0 shifters atleast, they go for R630 at CWC. i assume you have 9speeds 'cause of the gripshifts, why not go fullout to 10speed? even if you have to wait a while. Full groupsets R5500 for SLX and R6999 for x9. I don't know how good the support for higher end 9speed parts are going to be in the near future
  10. i took my dad's 29er for a spin in jonkershoek today! awesome at singletrack! unlucky for me back to my 26er again as for the tyres: both maxxis, aspen exception on front, ikon exc exo protection at the back, both superb!!
  11. will give feedback on the aspen/ikon 29er. the guys that have the aspens on their 26ers love them
  12. See u there!
  13. sorry i'm out 4 tonight

  15. I'm out for tonight. Have caught a cold. See you hopefully next Thursday

  19. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/2362-rs800sd-running-only/ looks like a nice special
  20. Jho man, I wouldn't opt for something like that, that shock and fork won't help with any bumps, aswell as the drivetrain. It's ok for varsity, but so is a rigid bike. Recommendation: post a wanted add on thehub with your max budget, you never know what might pop up! Thumbs up for wanting to try out mountainbiking, you'll love it
  21. i'm keen to join you guys from next week on
  22. +1 core could be loose or seal not doing its job. What happened to me before is that when you unscrew the pump, you lose a lot of air (crappy pump). It had a bigger effect on the negative because the chamber is much smaller than the positive air chamber
  23. na alles - vrek lekker roete, baie opdraand, great singletrack. waterpunt bo in die nek was nogals lekker gestock met verskeidenheid dis duur vir entry ens ens, maar dis altyd lekker om op Lourensford te ry
  24. R200 vir entry en niks goodybag!
