  1. at half the price of the enve its still double the price of the pyga trail wide and its local , the pyga has a 30mm internal width though which is still frikken wide. unfortunately i dont have any feedback on your actual question though.;
  2. Big thanks go out to Tyrone for helping me get hold of these decal to pimp my pike, went from std to santa cruz colors. for anyone wanting custom decals i highly highly recommend Tyrone!!!!
  3. Looks awesome, I have been searching for a rack that allows propper space between the bikes due to all mountain frames being wider than xc. My biggest concern though is there doesnt seem to be any way to lock the bikes to the rack. That means a garage stop etc on a long trip requires someone to stay with the car to make sure the bikes are not stolen.
  4. Eish, I am now going to have to start saving for this technology pyrography. Looks very vedy nice.
  5. just had delivery of my Nomad with a set or WTB vigalante's on, will give feedback once i have a few miles on them. they look very similar to my HD's so am very interested to see how they handle by comparison.
  6. my custom build Nomad is finally here, am like a kid in a candy store waiting take her out for her first shredding session.
  7. Mad skills but for me road bike party 1 and 2 were much much better. This was just a little brash and unrefined, from the soundtrack to the locations used and the fact that in the first 2 you never actually see the riders put their feet down at all I was really disappointed.
  8. honesty i think they grip like **** on Velcro, better than any other tire i have used, if the trailstar grips more i would possible be scared i managed to pick them up from cycle lab at R450 a tire, think it was just my lucky day and at that price i couldnt say no.
  9. honestly to me they look almost brand new, i can see a little wear but nothing like the Bronsens i had before, have had them on the bike for close on 7 moths with 80-120 km a week between trails, tar, grass etc etc. will take a snapshot of them when i am home so you can see what the wear looks like.
  10. a word of warning about the Mk2 protection, they have particularly soft sidewalls, not soft as in will puncture but soft as in they move laterally on the rim( not sure how else to describe them) i ran them tubeless and couldnt corner hard at all as i had sever creeping. they are not tubeless or tubeless ready so need the added stability gained form a tube to handle correctly, i managed burp one right off the rim and had to fit a tube, thereafter it was a different ride and i felt confident again. sold shortly after fitting and bought a set of bronsens which gave me confidence on the bike again. i love mine(HD pacestar compound front and back), have done several months of hard fast riding including Mankele avalanche and this weekends Hakahana enduro, i can drop the pressure to about 1.5 bar and have no issues at all. best money i have ever spent on a tire( i may just be lucky in that i have experienced none of the issues people talk about though.
  11. God i want that bike!!!!
  12. from what i can see the healthy gear refund only applies to Adidas gear, so a polar or anything else is excluded
  13. Yeti SB6c, pure bike porn!!!!
  14. cool stuff, the pics are not always necessary but some insurers want proof you had the bike, with no proof of purchase it gets a bit difficult thats why i recommend the pics. also the quote will let you know the actual replacement value.
  15. what you paid is irrelevant
  16. insure at replacement value, go to a cycle shop and get a quote and use with pics etc of you and your bike in the event of a loss. make sure you have a clear photo of you and the bike not a 100 foot race pic that kind of shows you and the bike.
  17. never ever ever use a high pressure cleaner on a bicycle!!!!!!!! you force dirt, cleaning products, grease, water etc into areas where you should never have any of these. use a standard hose and take more time, you bike will last alot longer
  18. hmm i am not so sure about the new look at this stage, its nice and fresh but difficult to find stuff, also the latest posts on the right just doesn't feel right, its very difficult to navigate. whole site is incredibly slow no matter what platform or method of connectivity i use.
  19. this man is a legend!!!!
  20. Actually the force required to bend a rotor laterally is very little, the braking forces are applied vertically so the material strength is concentrated on the vertical plane. Its very easy to correct a slight out of true with your fingers. Take a marker and mark where the rubbing is on the rotor, identify which side is rubbing and apply force with your thumbs in the opposite direction in the area you marked. Make several small corrections rather than big ones and bobs your uncle.
  21. hmm i see your problem may have come from the bike trowing you off, long travel bikes dont like xking tires up front bud as for a remedy........... i have no idea but eish and i am sorry. good luck with whatever fix you choose.
  22. Bwhahahaha yeah films not farms, finger issue
  23. just watched the trailer for the new anthill films video, looks frikken awesome, cant wait to get my hands on a copy :clap: :clap: http://www.pinkbike....easer-2014.html
  24. see Yeti has officially announced the release of the SB6c. same bike Jarrod graves used to rack up some very impressive wins at the world series. http://www.pinkbike.com/news/yeti-giro-ht-eurobike-2014.html going to need to sell a kidney for one based on the prices. any one in need? i promise its been well used so will offer a discount. damn i want that bike in the Lime green!!
  25. sorry i should have been more specific, i put too much grease between the freehub body and the hub on the powels
