  1. Fork: Front Shock: Rear What bike do you have? Where / what do you ride? Why do you want to drop travel? Less travel will result in a steeper Head Angle. This will sharpen up steering, but not necessarily in a good way. Steeper HA will also move your weight on the bike forward and could lead to over-worked front wheel. Not good. It will also drop your BB height and shorten you wheelbase.
  2. Great looking bike. We have some Silverbacks on the floor if you'd like to pop in to drool.
  3. We have some specials going. Give us a call and ask for Ian.
  4. Raji is cool for XC or Marathon. They are thin and not hard-wearing, but can work for DH/FR/AM if you don't mind replacing every so often. Comp is a great glove. Harder wearing with a lot more protection in case of offs. Both are great though.

  13. Hey Terry, We use the Ergofit system/program for bike fitment in conjunction with a "manual" fitment. Like Crow has said, an online or computer fitment can only be considered a guideline unless you go the Sports Instistute and have a specialist do the fitment and give feedback. The best computer system in the world will not pick on the small err's in your stroke or posture and it certainly cannot factor in previous injuries or deformities. That's why we use a bit of both. Ergofit is one of the best systems on the market. We start off with that and then finish with a manual check for finer adjustments. At this stage rider feedback becomes vital. We do all of this for free. Gratis. Niks. Mahala. EVERY new bike's owner gets a free set-up then another one at his first service interval, but we also do this for none buyers...as long as you are a fellow enthusiast and enjoy a good cup of coffee...or tea. We have some filtered water as well.CFS CT2009-10-08 08:24:36
  14. Shimano has been around since forever so the vote will be a bit lob-sided! Customers who have switched to Look swear by them and will most likely never go back. We haven't had any issues other than the cleats being on the soft side.
  15. You can give us a call or pop in with the wheel.
  16. Hope's green gear is for team riders only, but we can do Chris King in green.
  17. We're open on public holidays...THAT'S commitment!
  18. White with red. For sure. When do we need to get the order going..?
  19. It's not paint or decals you should worry about. It's getting water passed seals and into places where you can't relube or regrease without some effort.
  20. We have specials on Merida, Giant, Schwynn, Felt and Silverback bikes and 10-20% down on all accessories. Our workshop is running a couple of service specials with reductions in replacement parts cost. Give us a shout to discuss. Some bikes are going for R6k cheaper than the RRP!
  21. Just to give you an idea: 96 1000D RRP R23799 Our Price R21999 96 3000D RRP R28071 Our Price R25999 Anthem X1 RRP R28550 Our Price R24999 Anthem X2 RRP R19075 Our Price R17000 Phone us for final pricing and availability.
  22. Thanks guys! We have some great specials on bikes and accessories going so give us a shout if you need, or even if you don't, anything. Open Sat & most public holidays from 9am-2pm and weekdays from 9am-6pm.
  23. BTW, we have specials on most of our bike brands and all accessories and have a service special going as well.
  24. Give us a call Werner and we'll work something out. Manitou and Magura have the same agents in SA (Cycles Africa). They recently moved from Jhb to Somerset West so back up and service should be quick.
  25. You can give us a call on (021) 552 8285. We have specials going on a couple of brands.
