  1. never mix nipples and bikes

  3. Congrats!!!! Come and break it in here in Hammanskraal. Got tons of mud at the mo.
  4. I love that new felt. Might be the first road bike that I buy in 20 years... Can you change the tyres to fatties and ride cyclocross?
  5. BRILLIANT
  6. Thanks guys. Sorted! Can now go cycling tomorrow. Excuse all the previous typos, I was to furious to think!
  7. Ther is an allen key slot. I tried that to no avail. I am truning in the right direction, checked with another peddle. Gonna go and try the boiling water option.
  8. I am struggling to get one of my pedals off. I have now stripped my crappy pedal tool and taken all the skin off my fingers. Any suggestions? Tried to use a shifting spanner but I am scared of stripping the peddle. It is a crank bros.
  9. Thanks for the heads up.
  10. Great work mate.
  11. Driving past Diepsloot on Fri and saw a guy in overalls riding a full sus Turner. ?Was going to offer him R500 but the girlfriend said no.
  12. Get strong fast mate. Xtra painkillers
  13. I find it strange how so much money is spent on bikes, parts and then bling but yet a world-class bike park is not supported? I spend as little as possible on my bike, do my own maintenance and use that money saved to go on cycling-camping weekends. Just found a new reserve on Google Earth and will head out there this weekend with the bike and the tent. Call me crazy but I think that spending money on a well-built bike park is a good place to spend it.
  14. I lived in Aspen, CO. The town bought a ton of bikes and made them freely available to the public. They also sold advertising on the bikes. Worked very well.
  15. Call Zoon Cronje, contact from the silverback website.

  19. If you can find a 07 Silverback Alpine, buy it. Great bikes. I rent out ten of them and have had very few problems.
  20. Thanks for the review. Will stop over on the way to Durban.
  21. You sound very sick. Sure you gonna make it?
  22. When I take more than 3 bikes then I put a blanket over the tailgate and hang the front wheels over the tailgate of my bakkie. If I carry 3 or less then I use my hitch bike carrier
  23. Whond I do miss riding in the Cape.
