    rocket ron

    I'm just as fed-up with rocket rons! Punctures started last week Wednesday 3, Friday 2, Sunday 2 again. Looks like on the front wheel that the side wall and tread is going to separate. 150km on them. I'm the only p^%$#pol riding it! All the other guys ride on Maxxis or Contenental with No problems. On sunday I became the laughing matter of the bunch. We all ride the same terain. Does any one know of another tubeless system that Stans. My backwheel's valve stem seperated from the rimstrip.
  3. Consider the Blackberry playbook. Launching sometime soon. Great reviews on youtube. I will definitely wait for the playbook
  4. I ordered a garmin edge 800 from CRC the thursday at about 11:30pm. Paid extra for the DHL service and picked it up at 8:00am Monday at DHL Rustenburg. Excellent :clap:
  5. According to the DHL tracking site my 800 will be here on Monday. Great service from CRC! I paid R 3400 for my 800 from them.(excl. delivery) Not a bad price. Some SA shops is still selling the 705 for 4-5.8k
  6. When i swoped the bars, i saw the lenth printed on the FSA bar was 660mm. ( Did not know the length up to then) After all the talk here i decided to leave the Truvativ at 680mm and test it. did the Redstone route today and it worked a charm for clining to on those DH's. I still fitted the Ergon 2 bar ends but will put on the old grips just to see what it is like. THX for all the input guys
  7. OK. I'm not going to cut after all the input. you guys really helped a lot. THX. I dont give a s$%#t about who laughs and who dont. It is my comfort in the end. Martin you should slap the one's trying to make you cry. Be the man put on those ugly bar end's.
  8. Thx for the replies. It's been entertaining. ill do the swop and post some pics. Saving only 200 grams.
  9. How much wider than shoulder width for trail mampara. The Ergo2 bar ends is a welcome relief for the hands.
  10. Going to buy my own Torq wrench today. Don't have a cycle shop near.
  11. Has anyone cut a Truvativ carbon raiser bar, shorter than the suggested lenth? Will there be any problems i need to lookout for if i go shorter. It's a 680mm bar, want to cut it to 600mm and put on Ergo2 bar ends.
  12. Agreed Scotty.
  13. Thx for your advise in the PM Miggies.I just orderd my Edge 800 from CRC.
