Absolute madness!

@dewaldsss rides those areas often and may have some good ideas of where to go.

"steering behavior has been the same for over 100 years" (do the German accent yourself). Well, that's just bullsh*t. Wheelsize, stem length, head angle, tyre size, tyre tread, tyre pressure, suspension settings, bar width, offset, bar roll, bar rise, geometry - etc etc etc - all influences and has been changing steering behavior from penny farthings. To say steering behaviour has been the same for 100 years is just not accurate. Sure this is a new look and design, but has been done. Cool that they are doing it for actual MTB now - I can see the value in that, but can't sit and listen to this dumbass press release.

Hey guys, I ride around SSW often and have a Winelands Regional permit, but I'm not one of the Wannabees members, so I don't have privy to their information. Can anyone update us on danger areas or areas to be cautious in and around Somerset West, R44 etc? Much appreciated!

I'm a big fan of Q-bond

Ja ja. Mine.

The T15 is actually for the chainbreaker - on the other side of the screwdriver. And once the tool is in the cradle, it is a lot more secure. I wouldn't go mount it upside down, but under the TT should be OK. Even on the shock body could work, or inside of ST or back of ST. You have to twist (rotate) it a few degrees before sliding out the tool to the top of the cradle thing. I've used the chainbreaker and it works well. Yes it is small - but space is extremely limited, so horses for courses. Just check - there should be magnets that keeps it in, on mine the chainlink magnets keeps it in place. So far pretty happy with mine.

I rate the guy as a rider, not in this interview though.

Thanks for the generous offer, I have my old crankset that I can ride for the time being, but want to fix this one if possible!

For a bit of houtbeen, vleisbeen.

sorry for the late reply! Neill sorted me out with GR500's that i could take the internals from. The Spindle and alloy sleeve on the Saint was toast. I also still think the body is slightly deformed, but it is ride-able now.

Turns out my crankset is still bent - even after repaired by Nils with a threaded insert, so the impact did even more damage than expected. If anyone is selling the left side SLX, 175mm let me know. Thanks

Blondes or brunettes?

I've considered this, but for myself to get that straight is very improbable. Do you know of anyone that does that as a service?

Darnit, and my legs are just so close to the same length! Otherwise I would have taken the 170mm!

175mm - thanks for the reminder!

bump

Turns out my latest rock clip did more that just bend my pedal, also destroyed my SLX Left crank arm. If anyone has one they want to sell, please let me know!

Turns out I also destroyed the left crank arm in the process... Thread twisted in the arm. First time seeing that for me.

That would be rad, thanks!

They seem to have identical spindles. So if you do, that would be awesome!

I had a loo, they seem different, will investimigate a bot more. Thanks for the offer!

Enduro bikes are nuts. Its super fun to throw yourself down a trail flat out. That being said - they are not trail bikes when it comes to climbing. I hate it when I go ride with mates on 130mm sparks and I'm dying while they're chatting. BUT, on the downhills I have so much more fun. SO if you do shuttles mostly - the more travel, the merrier, if you have to pedal yourself, make sure that the bike can pedal also. 160/170 bikes that can pedal like trailbikes are unicorns.

If you feel like selling the left bits... let me know!

That it was. Only a blessing not going for a loooong hard fall, considering this was on Armageddon 7. I was also hoping for around 8 years, got one ride, making this the most expensive product per km, I think I've ever used. Close second would be Dissector tyres.... because they don't last.
