  1. Erm.. Been an on and off communication with Grant i.o.t buying a Paul chainkeeper. He has been a bit slow on the replies, but he said that the site was being 'redone'. No reply yet to my last email
  2. That MTB is really schweet...
  3. Bleak.. Last minute change of plan. Went and did timed laps local..... Race next weekend. Will have to make another plan. Hopefully it will be nicely compacted by then.
  4. Off to Giba....
  5. Just over the blind rise outside Cotswold main entrance.
  6. Hmmm....those look a bit like Sidi T2's ....
  7. Young boy killed today on Inanda Road Hillcrest this afternoon. Very sad thing to see, a crumpled blue bicycle lying nearby. His school friend sitting stunned on the sidewalk. Paramedics standing with that look on their faces, and their shoulders slumped. Every day they see how we can take it away, but not give it back. Could have been my boy that. When I got in now I realised how hard I was holding him when he started to wiggle. My sympathies to that family. My respect to those meds! The **** they have to see each day... We really just need to slow down people. Pay attention. Realise we only get one chance.
  8. GREAT ! Thanks
  9. Oops indeed... only 'thick yellow' I seez is GT, which ain't half bad, but really no help...
  10. Nige! Looks sweet. Please man, just a rough mark on Google earth for the start of trail.....
  11. Spez shop in Link Hills Center can give you directions. We ride 3-4 times a week at about 05/0530 if you keen.
  12. Pull in. Free for all. Or is that free-for-all... Bring a weed wacker!! Damn grass!
  13. That will be cool. What I meant was ...which part of blue? on the Google Earth map....?
  14. Dude. A little busy on our own one...thanks for the invite though. I know the bends almost got me the first time.... :w00t:
  15. Hey Nige. Shot for that. We haven't been there in a bit - been busy with our local jol - but will spin through on outride Sunday. Can you show the new WHOOPIE section on a GE clip?? Thanks! Will give it a whirl.... To the other two ninnies. NO roots out. LOOK OUT for hairpin bends
  16. 2:35
  17. Not good to hear! Hope he recovers guys, really. But no surprise re the HUGE shoulder AND yellow line. At 5bells on Sunday morning, and the driver bolted. I can pretty much bet my left nut that he was pissed!
  18. Like he said. Give Admin the full story.
  19. NUBBIN ! Step 1. Done. Step 2. Bought bike. Step 3. Undone. Now AS YOU WERE! And stop shouting.
  20. Dudes?! Anyone, please. No reply from The Ush, and SSSA's [PRODUCTS] tab is not going to the link. Seat tube 32.5 (bummer) so will have to mod the clamp either way I know, but can do. 31.8 or 35mm clamp. ANYONE have? Or know who else in ZA supplies?
  21. Derailleur is on. Chain is just off.
  22. http://www.ppfitness.co.za/pages/contacts.htm
  23. KatMeisie Hit the REPORT button and PM Admin. Well spotted. There certainly can't be TWO saddles like that in existence!
  24. Oh, look! Bullbars.... Well, that should sort the local cow issue out.
  25. Your age has nothing to do with it. Good advice if what you can afford starts at 6k It all depends on what riding you are going to be more keen on doing. Keep looking, keep asking questions. 4k is a bit low for new. If you want new look at TITAN, or Silverback. Usually affordable with pretty good spec. 6k+ Mongoose (sadly) appear to have shot themselves in the foot by downgrading their specs or putting OEM stuff on. But why not start here? thehubsa.co.za → Classifieds → MTB → Complete Bikes > Filter 4000,00 to 6000,00 Look for: A frame that is the right size. RockShox (or FOX) suspension, Shimano Deore or SLX components and brakes (disc pref) ENJOY.
