  1. Awesome! How is yours built? Fox? RS?
  2. Thanks man. Sorry to hear about your back. Never good. So you have an M9? The 4th one in SA then?
  3. Thanks man. Really appreciate the help. Green light... Yeah. I've got a L5/S1 disc prolapse in my back. Currently pinching a nerve quite badly rendering my left leg pretty much useless. Can't ride at all. 8 weeks off. PS. Do you ride one of the blue M9s on the back of the Ranger?
  4. Actually not. Going from 9.5" to 8.5" it raised a little also. With the proper sag dialed in and the 175mm cranks I'm already striking pedals a little. Will stretch it out and drop to 63deg HA for that other place later this year. Will try other setting as soon as I get the green light to ride again.
  5. HA set to 64deg Chainstay is on the shortest setting to help get the bike a little more nimble. Shock is on the middle progression setting and running 8.5" travel. Still want to tweak the shock settings a little.
  6. Could be caused by lack of maintenance and harsh conditions or it could be a warranty claim issue arising from a bushing problem Post some pics. Get your LBS / Fox agent to comment.
  7. Boobars are a little scratched and looking a bit worn. I have somebody interested in taking them. If not ill out them up for sale.
  8. Found out the Boobars on the bike was cut to 750mm. Good enough excuse to replace them. Renthals in 10mm rise from the Mbuzi fitted. Mbuzi got some 760mm carbon goodness.

  10. Looks like great fun!
  11. For fun we did a 24 hour one year on DH bikes. Was an absolute riot. It also hurt a lot!!! I also rode my DH to work today. I wouldn't however use it every day for general riding. Bit of a waste.
  12. I see at least two stripped bolts in your future. Get a torque wrench at the very least. Something to keep in mind is that bike parts at times require specific tools to fit them. The wrong tool WILL destroy something and cost you money. Read up on the Park Tool website and YouTube etc for tutorials on everything you do.
  13. Saddle updated Saint pedals fitted. Changing the grips this weekend and when the post office stops striking one day the Avid Codes are getting changed for Hope Tech 3 V4s The bike is something else all together. Dropped the travel from 9.5" to 8.5" and it now pedals extremely well. Completely different riding this to anything else I own. The faster you go the better it feels. As soon as I get out of injury rehab Ill take it down to KZN for some proper riding. Still looking for Fatbars to replace the BooBars on the bike.
  14. They do Jamis and Trek. Excellent service and very good specials from time to time. Bought a few things from them in the past.
  15. TLD shiver number 3 for the M9
  16. Karkloof dude. Hit the falls loop. Scenic, challenging and about 15km of sick singletrack and manicured trails. Now move that meeting to 16:00 and go nuts doing everything at Karkloof.

  18. Butt-puppet. I lol'd
  19. Don't forget the tin of Nugget
  20. You have a better chance of getting cyclists banned from Delta Park
  21. Sadly there is a lot more to this than just a phone call. A while back a group of riders attempted to develop a little in the delta. The sweeping corners and the line up top by the school to be specific. They had permission. it went very bad, very quickly and the organiser of the build day was almost arrested. Delta is a big fat NO for now.
  22. Already using a Microserver with XBMC. Works really well.
  23. Obvious troll is obvious. Apple TV makes for a very good alternative to the rubbish that is DSTV. Up till now I haven't had a real need for one but now I do.
