  1. Hey Clinton, can you pm me some contact details? to my gmail...? cheers Iain
  2. Morning Hubbers! Since I now live in Malawi and will be in Pretoria for a week soon, I want to get both of my MTB's serviced, no major issue except both forks need a service as they are on about 1000km each. Because of the time scale I would prefer a shop who can do the work in house rather than sending them off to the importer or agent. (oh and I want to have at least one bike avaliable to ride for most of the time I am there ;-) Anyone got a tip? cheers Iain
  3. 99kg after 2 weeks of Germany and hardly any exercise (I did do a fast (ish) 25km road group ride this morning before weigh in though)
  4. 97kg.... Moved to Lilongwe for just over 2 weeks ago now and have too much work so I can' t ride much and am drinking too much :-( anyway off to Germany on friday for a few weeks... will ride alot there..... :-)
  5. finally progress again - 97kg this morning. Maybe I should ride a MTB race every sunday.....
  6. ask a different insurance co. mine were insured and I didn't ever produce import papers because there weren't any for the ones from UK. I was with outsurance, my MTBs were insured through my 4x4 insurance co. (very cost effective)
  7. too short for my weight of 98kg..... or is that to heavy for my height of 1.82? but I am down from 110 October last year
  8. certainly helped me with climbing.... but not with cardio fitness, for that you would need one of the others. I also found spinning helped as if you do it as hard as possible its a great workout in a short time.
  9. was reading the Epic guide which came with one of the cycling mags this morning, quite depressing to see that the pro' MTBers are under 75kg with my height, some less than 70kg.
  10. 98 again.... did plenty of Km's this week, but ate even more.
  11. I definitely wouldn't want to go for shorter than 175 on my single speeds either..
  12. umm not sure you wont notice, I had a 175 crank and changed to a 172.5 because the chop where I bought a compact crank gave it to me and I didn't notice till later and I had problems during my ride with knee pain. stoped and put the seat up a few mm or so knee pain magically goes away (and this was before I knew that I had a different crank length...) As for the ride, I think I spin better, and I didn't notice a lack of leverage......
