  1. The specs look very good. use them and tell us how they are. What are you're LBS asking you?
  2. Dunno, but I use avid 20 V-brakes and they're great. But nothing can compare to discs so I'm busy converting. They have amazing specials on disc brakes at crc now.

    Shock oil

    What kind of oil are used inside a mtb shock. it looks hydraulic oil to me. can you use any hydraulic oil?
  4. What about the Rim getting hot? People told me that they saw a tyre burst because the rim got so hot? Doesn't make sense to me...
  5. Thanx a lot. Can anybody tell me why Cable disks are better or worse than V-brakes?
  6. I want to buy my son a Merida matts 40. But I'm not sure if I should take the V-brakes (shimano) or the cable Discs (tektro). Which is better?
  7. Thnx, but which one do I buy? I use a Rock Shox Sid air XC.
  8. Just wanted to know the difference between an IS mount and Post mount on Juicy 5's? Anybody
  9. On Barberton I carried a bottle of Motorex wet lube with me. It was very muddy. Whenever I could I would clean the chain with water and give it a good squirt of wet chain lube. it worked very well in my experience. So try to clean the chain as much as possible and lube it as much as possible.
  10. Buy a higher car.
  11. SQUIRT!!!
  12. Also had a problem with CC. My chip stopped working after I only used it once. I took it back to them and they charged me R120 for a new one.
  13. What arace. Dit you see that stupid girl running in front of Boonen near the end on one of the last cobble sections?
  14. Yay for going tubeless, but try ghetto tubeless, its much cheaper and works well.
  15. Dankie Bob!
  16. Anyone knows of a groupride over the Easter weekend in the Amanzimtoti area. Or even a nice MTB track...
  17. I love the feeling of a hardtail. For me it's like the differense between a expensive merc 4x4 and a jeep that can do the same job. i just feel more involved with my hardtail. And O yes i use v-brakes for the same reason...
  18. I cramp on every race. It's part of my make-up. I've made peace with it. I train alot 10-12 hrs per week. Do a lot of 4-5 hour rides on saturdays. What I found works for me is just using cramp ease every hour. 5 min before the start of the race i take 3 and then 2 every hour after that. I still cramp but just powers through it and I'm fine. Maybe this will help.
