  1. that cause they are not real mountain bikers
  2. I am thinking of joining spinning classes at the gym, but like bennie says, the view is better on your bike, hmmmmm come to think of it, there will be better talent to view at the gym
  3. funny... I have been thinking about this last week. I wanted to design and make my own one for bicycles
  4. I am in the same boat. I was considering one of those indoor trainers for my bike, but I dont know....
  5. yeah he is from bridge cycles, Marwaan. He has nice used bikes and very worthwhile prices for services etc.
  6. HMMMMmmmmm, most likely an april fools joke. However I speed downhill on my mtb, and the speed dont kill!!!, it is the people that speed in a suburban road, a busy road etc that kill
  7. most definately, I fully agree, lets try and get taxi drivers on bicycles and see if they like it when taxis and cars ride the way they do. I also agree that most cyclists are tjops, often riding 2 or 3 abreast and just dont care about the rules, or other road users. These are the guys that get knocked down and then make the biggest noise. The law is definately in no ones favour, so pepper spray the bastard that tried to ride you of the road, and get the hell out of dodge
  8. Yes indeed, I agree, there are too many hair triggers out there, at the same time most of them think they can fight you because you ride a bike. Just access the situation, most times it is wise to just ride away, othertimes well, if someone had tried to hit me..............
  9. Well after yesterdays exploits, we had to give the single track another go. Just got back about an hour ago, and I cant wait till next week. I hope it doesnt deteriorate too quickly
  10. so whats the difference between the cheaper raleigh helmets and the fancy bell, giro ones???
  11. hey all the best for your pops man, a very (*&*^ think that happened to him
  12. I would just like to tell the guys involved in all the maintenance work done to the single tracks in Tokai a super huge well done. 10 out of 10. Sorry to admit this online but I just came down there a few hours ago. Only problem is I noticed that some folk had actually driven the palstic ribbons off that closed some of the trails as well as the red markers. So sad, but non the less the single track below the mamba is awesome, smooth and super fast. I havent seen it like this in many years. Well done guys well done :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
  13. Really did he say that, he didnt even score much runs for the whole tournie, what a (^**%
  14. I think so, couldnt have been more than 15 cyclists, rather a stupid idea as they decided to cross a red light almost got taken out by a taxi and side swiped by a turning car. Yes they are allowed to ride in the bicycle but ride in all the lanes across the road?
  15. Well, I wouldnt call them chokers. It just comes down to poor selection. Where are all the impact players? The batsmen that the bowlers think about not getting hit for six - gibbs, kemp, levi?? I am not surprised they lost seeing how they scraped thru almost each game leading to this
  16. This morning coming from greenpoint into riebeek street in cape town, there was a very very large group of cyclist riding in both lanes on the road. Then turning into bree street, some were riding in the bicycle lane and others just could be bothered. It lookied like all single speed bikes, and the guys were all dressed casually. No why is it that no one can ever ride a bike with consideration for the cars on the road, and then most importantly for themselves. If a car had to ride into them then what?? another title like " RECKLESS DRIVER KNOCKS DOWN 12 CYCLISTS" really now guys............
  17. this is the problem with mechanical disc brakes. You have to have them adjusted after every ride. I have upgraded mine to hydraulic after a fall down some single track. However as long as you adjust the pads by the caliper you will be fine
  18. I have the same problem with mine, adidas doesnt want anything to with. I replaced mine twice. My first and last pair of adidas. I still like oakley and have ordered me a new pair.
  19. weight is not against you, gravity is with you
  20. this is pathetic, so members of the public must now do the work of people us tax payers pay to do!!! whats up with that. Why cant government take a 30% cut in the millions of rands salaries per yearm decrease spending budgets and then maybe they can complete the housing projects they promised and higher more civil servants
  21. what you guys think of kenda excavator, I have that on the rear of my hardtail, still new, used it in the argus mtb challenge and it grips very well on all the dry stuff
  22. I hear you mix. I am in a similar situation. You will have to practise riding hills. I am and there is a slight difference, hopefully soon I will be able to sprint uphill
  23. Yes indeed, all the technical trail and downhill stuff is normally standing, even climbing hills, at some point you tend to stand
  24. i would say go with the ibis, what a way to learn a beatiful bike. It not like its a horse and its gonna throw you! Besides the ibis should be alot more trail friendly
