Hey guys! During December I am cycling to Lesotho from Cape Town on my mountain bike in association with the Red Cross Children's Hospital trust. The trip will take a month with all proceeds going to the Red Cross Children's Hospital Trust. Please show your support by checking out and liking their Facebook page. Each like adds a sweet to the sweetie jar for the kids. All support is greatly appreciated and helps the trust. https://www.facebook...529241593752685 The Children's Hospital Trust has some of the most friendly and dedicated people I have ever met. They are in need of donations and support to continue helping kids in need of medical support. The Trust is funded from an endowment, ensuring that 100% of all donations received are used towards the projects and programmes they fund. Not a cent is used for administration or operational expenses. If you can make a donation it would be really awesome and will make a big difference. http://childrenshosp....za/donate-now/ Reference: CapetoLesotho For more info on the trip and if you would like to follow it check out the Facebook page below.

Hey guys, I have been a bit out of the cycling loop for a few years now but getting back into it. Im keen to come try out the racing at killarney race track. I cant seem to find much info on it. I would really appreciate it if someone could give me the low down on it. Is it on Tuesday or Wednesday? How much to enter and what is the event? Do you just race as many laps as you want or is there a set race distance? Thanks

Hey there. I lost my multitool at the top of downhill 3 in Tokai this morning. Its a Topeak tool with chain break http://www.cyclelab.com/products/TOPEAK%20HEXUS%20FOLDING%20TOOL%20WITH%20CHAIN%20BREAKER.aspx If anyone found it please let me know I really dig that tool. Thanks

Sounds good

The problem with 29er Downhill bikes is that those big wheels arnt very strong. Because of the larger wheel radius, more leverage can be applied by lateral force causing the wheel to break way before a 26er would.

Ok thanks! I think it will be ok

Hey guys. I heard that once a carbon frame and fork has been in a crash it cant be ridden again even if its not cracked? Is it ok to ride a carbon frame and fork if its been in a crash and has no viable cracks? Thanks

Not sure what he used at the Olympics but he was riding a P3 in disguise when I last saw him. Has lots of ad ons

works, my friend is 1st team prop and he took it to tone up and yea it works but you have to put the work in. My advice dont take it if you are under 18.

Are you getting these peez? I wouldn't recommend them in Cape Town. Those wheels are monsters to control with the Cape winds. I know a few People with those wheels or similar and they all complain that you cant ride them in wind. Otherwise great wheels. Light and stiff. Rather get 50s. Are you sure you want to go tubular?

Hey man. Sorry to hear about your trip. Iv had a similar experience. Maybe these are your bikes! https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=28835&KW=found veyron.2008-07-08 14:24:42

Thanks! I have yet to weigh it with my Eastons because I'm waiting on the shimano free wheel to arrive! But It came in at 7.3KG with another set of similar wheels. Yes the Delphi's are excellent value for money, it has everything I need and was a fraction of the cost of the equivalent polar. And their backup is excellent. I managed to damage mine and blackburn replaced it free of charge.

Its taken 3years of solid work and saving and I just put the last pieces on my bike by finally getting ultegra SL.

That groove does not do anything for braking. It goes the same direction as wht the wheel rotates and offers no friction at all. It is a wear indicator. The rim wall is safe as long as you see the line. By braking alot you wear down the metal of the rim and soon it will all be gone. So before you have a total rim failure' date=' you can replace it. [/quote']Yes that is what the big black line in the middle is for. The lots of little groves are to help with breaking in wet.

Yea the rim make a huge difference! I have those groves on mine and they really help

I have the same brakes as you! Mine are as shart as any disk brake. I think you need to look into better pads. I have very good RavX ones, made a huge difference over my old cheapies.

Why would you want a tripple tandem? That thing will be huge!

Ya thats the biggest waist of time and money

I hate the RavX CO2 bombs. they suck. I got stuck in the middle of no-where the other day because it would not pierce. and its happened twice now

Thats definitely the way forward. Chains are very outdated
