  2. dare i ask if he spruit is "safe" during the week??.. i ride it every weekend and its cool, but it seems deserted in the week and after hours..?
  3. what 29er dual sus frames are out there..? seems very limited..
  4. what did you land up doing? im in the same position, XTC29er, full XT + Mavic Wheelset.. would like to just put all on a 29Dual sus frame?
  5. where is "vlei' done the rest?
  6. what about mavic ? any comments
  7. mavic crssmax29's OR ZTR Arch with hope hubs...???
  8. ok great, drop me a line if you decide on selling the mavaics, been looking at them too and they look awesome.
  9. thanks.. havent heard much about crank bros..will do some investigating, anyone out there have some experience first hand?.. im a lightweight at 77kg
  10. Hi all..some advice please Looking to get a new wheelset for my 29er.. Im in JHB, can anyone recommend a good builder, the likes of cajees and Solomons have good deals, but im suspect of their building quality and expertise. I have a budget of 5k.. what and where would you recommend?
  11. 100%..if you know what you talking about, haggle with them and get a good deal an all..but never go back !! and then support someone like your LBS who knows how maintain, service and repair.
  12. havent ridden the Spruit for a while...has the grass been cut from William Nicol northwards ?
  13. broke a chain today, riding at Teak..never ever happened to me before..my second ride on this chain, so i guess bad fitment was the problem. I wasnt changing gears at the time, just cruising along..?? what is the best thing to do in a case like this, have a spare chain?
  14. youtube and mag articles are all good...but sometimes a practical is better than theory.
  15. Not sure if anyone out there does this??..if they do, great! If not, here's a business opportunity for someone. Im sure im not the only one out there who digs riding but is not technically minded.. Im looking for someone to do a "house call".. come show me exactly how to tune/ adjust/ maintain/ clean my bike for routine purposes. I will still take it in for minor and major services. Any takers??
  16. im in cape town 2x per month so i can check that out too, you have more details for me?
  17. Anyone have a contact for good 2nd hand mtb's. I've heard of Avron in Cape Town, is there a joburg equivalent?
  18. hi, do you have more deatil on this bike? where did you buy from?
  19. lovely bike !, surely not in that budget of <15k.. if so then i will buy today !
  20. ok, ill find who is keen, im sure could get 20 fit ou's
  21. im in the same boat as you, although ive been riding for a few years on a 26.. my choice so far is Giant XTC with immediae upgrade on the rear hub...and then new wheels in a little while. the article in bicyling mag is good reference but check all thei websites for actual goupset specs etc.. also, the giant seems to be the only 1 with a Fox fork in that price bracket. and by the way, there is no stock, so i have to wait now.
