i get to fall off ****

does anyone know if the guys will be doing a critical on the 28th of Dec?

conti mountain king 2, 2.4 across all, but in reality its one not on the list, Continental Rubber queen, sticks like its on rails but wears out very quickly, very soft compound!!

OI bugger thats my saying, stop poaching!!!! and the statement should read, ill never gop back as long as i have air in my lungs and a hole in my arse

no must have been the one after then, i was there in Jan or feb this year when it stared raining as we went up under the highway, also about 2 hundred or so people,

Awesome, nice find Sean, amazing how the mass has grown, I did my first at the end of October or November last year( old age means I can't really remember when) and haven't missed one since, there were only about a hundred very dedicated people then! It is My absolute favorite ride. My only gripe is the attitude of both some drivers and cyclists, oh and the guys riding without helmets!!!!!. Otherwise always a great time. Thanks to Melvin and the team for keeping up the effort every single time we ride.

I love my xt's I can't speak for the hope fraternity but know that as sure as the day is long my brakes work better than most, I would be hard pressed to change

bwhahahahahaha almost fell off my chair i was laughing so hard. *** story for the cyclist but funny as hell from this point of view.

sorry stupid question but how would you do this? do you work for a crime unit of sorts? sorry i see some other posts where you say you are investigating am just curios as its nice to have a hubber that is able to action the big stick vs us shouting about it.

Ok so forgive me for pointing out that spending money on wheels rather than going for a slightly higher spec bike is a big mistake. The 60 is the entry level version of the bike and has a coil front fork, rather spend the extra cash on the bike itself and get a better all round bike, moving from deor if memory serves on the groupset to slx, air fork and a generally better wheel set, no it's not going to be a set of mavics but will be good enough to ride for many many happy miles. Remember that while you can get a great deal on a set of wheels the discounts you get from a better spec bike far outweigh and benefits you will get from the wheels, when you do upgrade the groupset, fork shock etc you will spend way more, also remember your resale value is greatly reduced thanks to the spec of the bike the great parts are fitted to. That's just my 2c worth, personally I would go for a 50 or 40 if the budget will stretch that far and get many years of quality bike vs a bike for now and upgrade in a year or 2's time

Take a shock pump and add 5 psi, set the compression rubber( if you have one, if not use a cable tie around the compression arm of the shock) and sit on the bike with all your riding kit without bouncing on the bike, check how far your shock compresses, you should only have about 10-15% compression, if you have more add another 5 psi and so on and so forth until its right. Once this is set you should find it hard to bottom out except off some of the higher jumps you may encounter. Rule of thumb is roughly 2x your body weight - 20 psi as a starting point on most shocks, may be different for yours though. Check the fox web site for your exact weight and psi setting if you want, me I only use the sag method but different stokes for different folks and all.

sorry guys, had a bit of an accident yesterday and was in too much pain to meet up for the ride, had a tumble down a fight of stairs ( dumbass) will definitely meet up for the next one if you are going to be doing it again?

What the hell??? I'll take a couple please, other colors would be great, me I'd like a Gary and a red one.

Your doing it wrong! Both the bicycle and the other kind

Oi blokes is this an open invite for some slow company? Ok. Am not that slow but do like to ride the spruit in a relaxed fashion and love technical riding. Would love to join if its possible?

I did I did!!! am so chuffed i made the wall, last year i died halfway, this year i managed all the way up and passed a few 29ers on the way, considering my "all mountain" weighs 17.3 kilo's i am super happy i managed it!! small achievement i know, but man what a good feeling at the top

I can't agree more, those climbs are a bitch, I hated every second of them but my tank loved the fast downhills, must be honest I actually enjoyed this more than last year, for me there were no real bottle necks that I was slowed down at by any real measure, last year was horrible but I put that down to riding the 30km last year and starting off in A6 this year. According to the times I did a 2:39 am sure that's wrong though I was out a lot longer. Did the full 55 with no shortcuts so I think race tech have a bigger problem than they think, unless its my chip?

nah *** dude, while i dont like snakes they serve a purpose, you statement should read parktown prawns are like julius malema, best one being a dead one!!

Take some 90grit sand paper and a scrubbing brush with handy Andy 1st, use the handy Andy on the pads and scrub like your balls are in vice for about 5 min. 2nd use the sand paper lightly to remove the top layer from the pads, make sure you scrub the disc rotors with handy Andy as well. Should be ok after that if not new pads are the way to go

Awesome stuff well done, hats off to you, that section has needed something to add some adventure for a while!,, will definitely give them a go when I am next on the spruit!!

Hmm very nice, well done on the build! More than just a little bit jeleouse

with Blood, sweat and tears!!!! but the currencey is cash

Thanks for the replies guys, I am tall, stand at 6ft 2", have done some looking and the price of around 4k seems about right from some other classifieds I have seen, actually one of them on the hub here, Think ill make an offer of 3.5 and see how that is received, only reason to go low is the age of the bike, worst case he says he wants slightly more and we go grim there.. Again thanks guys, much appreciated

hey guys, i have been lent a road bike for the 94.7 which i am enjoying riding, the owner has however offed to sell the bike to me and asked me to come to him with a price that i feel is fair( he is a really nice guy so trust that his asking to to get a price is to fit my pocket more than his) the problem i have is i have no clue how to price the bike as its a few years old, exact year i am not sure i am guessing its anout a 2008 or so bike. please can you give me some opinions on what a fair offer on the bike would be, the bike componentry is listed below? KHS Flite 700 road bike. 60cm AN6 Aluminium frame ( Easton EC70 carbon fork Neuvation radial wheels with Gatorskins tyres Shimano 105 groupset Sella Italia SLK saddle Thanks guys.

eish popcorn and beer time, this can only end badly.
