  1. Any Alberton South riders here also Climbers? May be some areas where we could ride to, do some climbing exercise and then ride back, would also be good exercise carrying some additional weight in the form of ropes, QDs etc, :-)
  2. Was always one of my favorite sports, still have all my gear but dont get to use it because of things like this, seriously a sad time when we have some of the best climbing spots but are not able to take advantage of them. Does not matter if you go to Boven, Melville,Harties, Drakensburg, everywhere is experiencing these same issues.
  3. "Titanium Necklace X30 - Fireball 103MPH" - If it will help me reach that I'm all for it, reckon i'll place an order right now, whos in? NOT. :-)
  4. +1 - been using it for a few months, works brilliantly
  5. Any one of the Admins one the hub should be able to see which IP address both XC and Railed logged on with, then with that info it would be easy enough to track him down further (If its 3G you would need legal assistance to get the mobile ops to co-operate)
  6. Interesting, company was selling "Oxygenated water" http://www.globalro3.co.za/index_files/Page1064.htm also sounds a bit fishy.
  7. If you got a response from him on "manager@globalro3.co.za" then there is a very good chance of contacting the contact listed in the whois, either directly or through the police: admin : Bonthuys Tracy title : DNS Administrator company : Global Ro3 Liquids (PTY) Ltd postaladdr : Postnet 9, Private Bag X5516, Scottburgh, Kwa-zulu Natal, ZA, 4180 phone : 0313045367 Sounds like a legit business and they would know who has access to that e-mail address etc.
  8. Damm, i wonder if the oke on Rivonia road is still there and if he is dishing out refunds, ;-)
  9. Had a bit of falling water overnight but not enough to call it rain, been overcast this side this morning but no rain.
  10. I second / Third / whatever that, :-) super nice guy, excellent prices and good gear, :-)

  13. Hi Guys, Please could someone confirm, are front and rear calipers normally the same (lets assume Juicy 3s - not yet decided on which to get)? I.e. same mounting position, physical size? The reason I ask is that I am currently looking to add disks to my Trek VRX400, so i ordered a A2Z adapter as the old girl has a 22mm mount on the rear that they used to put Hayes Direct Mount calipers onto. The issue is have is some guys say that the adapter lifts the rear caliper and i would need to run 180mm rotors, however they say if i use a front caliper then the 160mm caliper would be right. Many thanks Rob
  14. Hi All, I have recently re-entered the world of cycling, although am still on a fairly tight budget, :-) I purchased a Fox RP2 that originally was listed as a 160mm (To replace the Vanilla Coil on my Trek Vrx 400), however once purchased i found that in fact it was a 5'5" / 140mm shock and not the 6.5" version. Now the specs on the Fox site list the 5.5" version that I have with 1" travel, compared to the 6.5" version having 1.5" travel. I have been trying to move the shock to a new owner for some time but is seems as though the shorter version is not compatible with as many frames as the 6.5" version so it got me thinking, would it be feasible (I have a contact that can do the milling etc at a reasonable cost) to fabricate a 25.3mm spacer that in essence will extend the shock to the required 165mm length required for the frame. I understand that this would not do anything for the amount of travel, however I’m a fairly light rider and was wondering if it would work? Your comments and advice (buy a new shock is not an option at the moment, :-)) would be appreciated.
