MTBer wannabee

I am bummed I missed the whole event.

I am very keen to see the bike and you riding it with your kids. Dont forget you first have to take a picture of the bike on the couch.

no!. I will not allow him to have a better bike than me. Thats just not fair

I think I agree. Some shocks are worse than no shocks at all.

here are some options http://www.gumtree.co.za/cp-sports-bicycles-fitness-in-east-rand/titan-t20-mountain-bike-513662845 http://www.gumtree.co.za/cp-sports-bicycles-fitness-in-roodepoort/axis-a90-mountain-bike-513700388 I will put R100 towards it and see who else helps out First you need to find out what size you need and then be quick, because bargins dont last.

Please let us help you. I will look around for something that is better suited. I once picked up a Trek hardtail entry level bike for my wife with spare slicks for R200 on gumtree. I only bought it for spares but it turned out to be a jem and perfect for what she needs.

It kind of feels like we are outside the loop here. I did find a hulk though.

Is it the hulk????

I cant get onto Torrent websites at work and have limited internet at home. If anyone is keen to share their downloads then we can link up shared drop box files. Please PM me I will create a folder.

The worst thing you can do is compare yourself to others. It just makes one bitter and unhappy. It all comes down to Time vs Money vs Health vs Happiness. Take your pick because I doubt many people will have them all.

for home I have pepper balls for my painball gun. They are also quite effective for long range use only.

?

Just do it? Damn right i will do it.

It may not only be the farmers, but there is also a small amount of hunting in that area too.

good effort

lol, as long as it has high safety factors. Fatigue in composites is still a grey area. Dont get me wrong, i am not a hater, but when it comes to failure, i would rather ride a dented alu frame then a cracked carbon one. (And I fall a lot) P.s. So its been established thats it is just a chip. In that case, keep calm and carry on.

In my line of work, we do a fair amount of destructive testing on composites, and the one material i would not mess around with is Carbon. (hence the fact i wont buy a carbon frame). When things are going right, carbon is hard to beat, but when you get a small crack that can propagate, just one small bump is enough to for all hell to break loose. I think you should get it checked out. Sometimes we even get frames x rayed because a lot of cracks could form in the bottom layer and you would not even know about it.

That photo makes it look more than just chipped paint. It may need more than just resin.

I am stipping my old bike this weekend because of this thread.
