  1. Got a set for myself and a set for the wife. Awesome price, awesome quality. Easy as pie to fit and adjust and fantastic 1-finger braking. Highly recommended. http://www.shimano.com/publish/content/global_cycle/en/us/index/products/mountain/deore/product.image.+media+images+cycling+products+bikecomponents+BLM+BL-M596_600x450_v1_m56577569830752517_dot_jpg.bm.512.384.gif

  8. For the marathon route there is still one more surprise in the bag, and riders are advised to leave some energy in their tanks for the final 20 kilometers. Oh ok, like Jou Bliksem all over again.....yippee.
  9. Good job, now post some pics! Glad I could help!
  10. Then I get to choose the winner as well? HTFU top cap to the winner!!!!
  11. I just received this request: Hi there. I am looking for 1 more bike for my third farm worker. His bike as stolen a year back and I have been unable to replace it due to finances. I run a non-profit organisation dedicated to vulture conservation www.vulpro.com and am not in a position to buy a bike at the moment. Bikes are essential for my workers as this helps them get around, buy food supplies etc. I have 3 farm workers and they are like family to me. they keep the farm and animals going and help with all our vulture conservation work at the Centre. It would be hugely appreciated if you can help or know of a spare bike somewhere which is sitting around, doing nothing... my contact details are on the website but also here at kerri.wolter@gmail.com or 082-808-5113. Thanks so much I need a 26-inch fork and headset so that I can get a bike to this guy. Thanks!
  12. Anyone else experience anything weird with my site? Works fine on my PC..... www.buildabikesa.com
  13. What size rotors do you have? If they are standard 160mm or 180mm you'll have no problem. Shimano brakes FTW!!
  14. or: How big is the bottle in YOUR cage?
  15. LOL
  16. I'm running my 32x19 again on my 29er SS. I found it to be perfect for 90% of the VG race. The downs will put my new M596 brakes through their paces nicely. Can't wait!
  17. Someone sponsor prizes.
  18. Let's have some fun. Best caption wins. Download the pic and insert your best one-liner.
  19. That would make one hell of a fixie....
  20. Follow these steps: Sort out your chain line by getting the rear cog in the right place on the freewheel Move the limit screws on the derailleur almost all the way in so that it's as good as you can get it. If you still need cable tension to keep the derailleur in place, insert the cable through the barrel adjuster until the part that is normally in the lever pulls tight into the barrel adjuster and tighten the cable fastener. Use the barrel adjuster to fine tune the derailleur position Shorten the chain so that the derailleur cage points forward, about 30deg from horizontal. Any questions?
  21. Anyone know of any MTB trails in Sun City? I'm there this weekend and wanna ride!
  22. That's beautiful.
  23. A bit of an update:
