  1. Ride cos its fun. The rest is just extra benefits!
  2. Yeti is sweet thanks! A bit small for me but otherwise great. A real fun bike. That yeti dh looks awesome. Get a large one and then sell it to me in a couple of years! Btw what happened to your izimu?
  3. Ha ha ha. I love forums . So much fun reading...
  4. We all had a first mtb ride once...
  5. Makulu is probably the fastest dh bike there, and the izimu the most bullet proof. Plus its good to support local. Although its hard to find a really bad bike at this price range.
  6. What's the price of the helmet? I have an extra large noggin
  7. Amen to that Martin. If it aint fun, its work. Pro racers are at work on the bike. 3,256 seconds matters to them. For the rest just chill and enjoy the ride.
  8. Bugatti veyron supersport is also quite nice . Its funny how the hub is either people showing off new bikes ( no problem there) or people dissing them. Like the rest of the world I guess.
  9. That's gallardo. That's how its spelt on the back of my one anyway...
  10. Take off the bar ends and gears and you would have the worlds lightest( and coolest ) single speed! But it is sweet as is. Rode a fully rigid recently, reminded me of the early days when there was no suspension.
  11. I see a subtle lack of 29ers in dh racing where surely the big wheels would work best? Or would they just explode?
  12. Bit sad really. Been riding those trails for a couple years on and off and they are awesome. Managed to keep them hush hush for a long time till the last few months. Suddenly all the hidden entrances were opened and there are skidmarks all over the roads. Put a lot of effort into those trails but anyway...
  13. Does anyone here work for a bike mag? Would be interested to hear their side of the story. It seems to me that there are 3 mags trying to compete for a small market and all trying a different approach
  14. Dirt mag from the UK. Best mtb mag ever made. Too bad its not available in sa. Someone fix that please!
  15. Spoke to PorS yesterday . He says build day on saturday 26 1pm till 5 pm. Gonna do maintenance on dh 2 as well as the snake trails. Pull in guys.
  16. I didnt know you could get a shova 29er.
  17. So when are we gonna get up the hill and do some work again?
  18. Sucking all the air out of your frame might save a few grams but you will add more than that trying to seal it up in the first place. So not worth it
  19. Helium has weight like any gas. Better to suck all the air out and have a vacuum. Some race cars have air tight chassis tubes with a valve and a pressure gauge. You can pump up the chassis and if the pressure drops on the gauge then you know there is a crack somewhere.
  20. Always wanted a morewood. Was gonna get a mbuzi but when i saw the asx i was hooked. The price was good too. Might be interested in the spare parts.
  21. I wonder how many owners my new asx has had. Its like a bike slut. Cant wait to ride her hard. . . . Gonna in down fast i reckon !
  22. Got the as x. Got the frame and rear shock off the hub for r 1500 ! I thought that at that price it would have problems . The only thing was the seatpost was stuck in the frame. 2 hours of q20 and swearing and its out. Cant wait to ride.
  23. My new yeti is about 17 kg. Strong as fark . 7 inches each end. Cant wait to ride it!
