    The answer is momentum. Takes more energy to accelerate thus more energy to stop. However, that is not going to affect the OPs problem with brakes not biting.

    See how it melted the snow.

    Jason Geldenhuys at Int. Trade They are the agents for some of the best hubs and rims so you get your wheels at a reasonable price.

    You haven't read the entire thread have you? Apparently the contamination wasn't from the pharmacists hands but from the pill tray. They don't handle the gel capsules by hand as they tend to melt. Have you ever seen how much white residue from previously counted pills stays almost permanently on those pill trays?

    Patchepedia. Nice analysis

    Especially for biggish guys who put a decent amount of power down to get up hills.

    Did you pick up my new Tracer? I'm sure I left it there...

    Rouxtjie is always helpful. Edit: sorry, I don't hav any 29" wheels.

    Thanks. I think My SS has 140mm of Fox Vanilla at the front which cost much less than that

    Only read Tread mag.

    I don't even want to know the price of that.

    It's a bit nerve wrecking the first time. You just have to realise that you need to sit properly upright to keep the bike stable. In fact it is much more stable than holding onto the bars.

    Nicely said. I have a couple of times now been PMed by guys with very few posts, not regarding anything for sale but about my mtb skills clinics. After meeting them have found out that they are 'captains of industry'.

    They did invent the Command post. The dropper which can slam your nuts so hard you get instant tonsillitis.

    I think KS has a lightweight post with 65mm drop for XC racing. That would make much more sense. Not sure if it's available yet... I tend to only look at models with at least 125 - 150mm.

    I don't worry too much about post count but won't deal with anyone who has 0 posts. I like to see some sort of contribution which I can scan through to determine seller/buyers character. The other thing I do is get the dude on the phone asap. If that turns out to be a mission at all I steer clear, whether buying or selling. Chatting to someone instead of endless texting/pms usually resolves all kinds of issues like "dibs". Also easier to recognise genuine traders. Btw, watch this space, well the classifieds, as I'm going to be selling quite a bit of stuff soon.

    If you looking for newb trails, then a good place to start is just by following the river trail out and back. There are trails on both sides of the river and it crosses the river at a few places. Back in the day, those river trails were all that existed but we used to go out there anyway. It sure beat Northern Farms (the only other trail centre) and was a lot more technical than it is now.

    The main thing to look at when sizing a bike is the effective (horizontal) top tube measurement. Not all mediums, larges etc are the same across all bike frame manufacturers. Work out what reach suits you (including your preferred stem length) and check geometry specs when you looking at a new bike.

    Funny enough we have always ended up with the same trail bikes at the same time. Usually because of a deal we could not pass up. The other bikes in the garage are all different. Patrick tuned the shock for a light rider for my wife before it left the factory. But will check and make sure it's working properly and perhaps even service it with a lighter weight oil in future. Thanks.

    Usually if you haven't go a SS specific frame: A single speed spacer kit. Otherwise those plastic spacers out of an old cassette. The kit sometimes includes a couple of single gear cogs. A chain tensioner of some sort. You can convert an old derailleur to do the job. Shorter chainring bolts. An eight speed chain. Or even a half link chain if you have the budget.

    Whoever will pay that for little more than an inch drop?
  23. RockCoach
    Just realised I posted it elsewhere already. Frame is going to be raw. Wheels have been built. Silver Spank Oozy with gunmetal Hope hubs, gunmetal nipples. http://photos-a.ak.instagram.com/hphotos-ak-xpa1/10326574_783240421696352_376179997_n.jpg

    Oh, and when you do ride off the rollers, the bike stops dead, it doesnt accelerate into the tv. So be ready to uncleat rapidly.
