Thanks for the good reply! I've seen the Merida One Twenty, and personally the look doesn't work for me... Rather made up my mind that the suspension configuration must be like the Cube AMX, Scott Spark or Merida 96..... (I know it is superficial, but I once heard on the hub: "Ride what you like, like what you ride.....")

Hi all I've been wondering about this for some time.... which are best? All things equal offcourse... meaning: comparing apples with apples. eg: Top shimano vs Top avid vs Top magura Not going to compare XTR brakes with Juicy 3.0 Please comment as well.... I had Juicy on my previous bike, seemed to fade.... not that potent stopping power which I experienced with Magura (WOW!!!!)

Hi all! Lived in Durbanville 2006 - 2008, lots of cycling buddies, good shape... moved to the country (ate a lot of peaches....) no cycling... sold bike.... 110kg as of this morning.... Jan 2011, moved back to Durbanville, wanna get cycling again, but have to wait for new bike. Will start on the weight loss however.... Goal is 90kg, as I've got a heavy bone structure.... 85kg would be super cool, but think I would look septic.... So, gonna start on this challenge, eating and jogging firstly, till I get my Scott/Cube (still deciding) Jaco

I happen to live in Durbanville!! Which shop?

Locally between R20 and R22k Chainreactioncycles: R15800...... Company where I work is an exporter, but this strong Rand certainly helps with buying bikes and parts!! Haven't bought anything through Chainreaction as of yet, so must first find out if there is any reason not to....

The canaan is Mongoose's cross country dual susser, 100-120mm of travel. The Teocali is more of a trail bike....

Hi all I was an avid mtber a few years back, but circumstances forced me to stop cycling and sell my previous bike. I am now looking to get back into things (maybe not immediately, but soonish) and I am browsing for my next ride so long... What is your opinion on the Cube AMS 100 Pro LTD? Seems to be properly specced and its absolutely drule worthy for me!! Also: In terms of ride, anyone with knowledge for me to compare to my previous bike? Was a Mongoose Canaan. Thanks!! Jaco

Hi guys and gals I'm coming to potchefstroom next week and will be bringing my bike. Anyone doing any mtb rides please give me a shout, as I don't know the routes. Thanks! J

Yip Lurker, you caught me..... this is going towards my Vitality points as a bonus!

wat beteken dit?? ek probeer nou uitfigure of dit goed of sleg is.....

ja ja.....sorry daaroor! maar ek het gister (nadat ek die post begin het) navorsing gedoen en gesien wat ek soek..... basies tussen die S725X en RS800CX...... enige advies oor die 2 models?

I probably should have mentioned this earlier.... but I am rather specific that I want a polar, not another brand...... Not saying Garmin and Suunto isn't great brands, but I specifically want a Polar...... with the Weblink option, so it should be a newish model....

How big is the GPS unit and where do one mount it?? I am trying to go for as few sensors and different units as possible....

I currently have the blackburn delphi.... it is "heel ok" regards to heart rate and cadence.... but it doesn't give you the detail regarding graphs on your computer for analysis afterwards.... that is what I'm looking for now.... also no running option on the Blackburn.... biggest drawback on my current Blackburn is it has no altimeter... but I no the better models does... maximum speed not a must while running, and the cycling sensor has all the speed details...

Very good detail on the frame! Well done TokenFreak! As for the design....... anything Armstrongish is a no-no for me.....
