  1. Ek groet nie met 'n lied in my stem en die wind in my trap na 'n 100 meter climb nie...ek hyg en steek my pinkie soort van uit terwyl ek oor die handlebars le^. Ek sal weer groet met die aftraande
  2. Sag setting was fairly easy...there are calculators and tables to show pressure required proper weight, but Im at a loss on the rebound setting
  3. My bike's user manual says to set rebound...so many click out...for front and back. I don't know what 'out' means. From fast, or slow, or the middle? I now have a Fox RP23 on the back I have a RockShox Reba RL 29 on the front I weight 95 kg with my shoes and campelback. If there is a pro out there who can help Ill appreciate it
  4. Saterdays : Groenkloof + Fountain or something technical Sunday : Northern Farms for more speed and distance I like Northern Farms - its has a beauty especially with the dams.
  5. This is worse:
  6. Hi - please add a 26, 29er search filter. It would be a lot easier to get to what you want, there are so many bikes advertised it takes too long to look at every bike, ..then go to the website to see the wheel size (if the pic is too small).
  7. I was thinking of putting sleeks on my MTB for the 94.7....but for a mere 100K give or take I can ride the real thing!
  8. The AC are sold as All Mountain...so in my midn its gotta be strong. (Eks dik maar ek trap)
  9. 'They were made for lightweights like you, not the fat ass 80+ kilo riders ' Fat ass at 80 kg....? Fat ass is over 90 kg....it has to be...has to be has to be has to be
  10. I got American Classics = replaced my Brontagers which came with my Trek HiFi. Let me tell you - those hubs roll a LOT faster I'm seriously happy and as I'm not a skinny oak I know they are tough
  11. Get the red one...

  13. Does uni cyclists clip in?
  14. Pre race : Muffins, energy bars, hot coffee Post race : Beer, hotdogs, choc bars, coke light
  15. Scale is mine....I got it especially to weight tires, saddles, seat posts,handlebars...you will be surprised to see how much the manufacturers lie
  16. I have a digital foodscale. I take it in the shop when I shop :-) The wife stays in the car for some reason
  17. Oval Rings...Rotor cranks...thingymagingies that takes out so so called deadspot when you turn the crank
  18. views, opinions?
  19. Ill buy if it will make me go faster
  20. No not related. Its just you wake up before your ride and then you have hay fever and runny nose etc. But I have the suspicion that your HR runs higher and more irregular. And I'm sure there is a 'real dr' on the Hub :-)
  21. Does taking a non-drowsy anti-histamin before training/race negatively affect your performance? (like heart rate)
  22. OK...so how 'bad' is it?
  23. Why is it that whenever I push really hard and keep my HR at max (e.g. hills) my lungs burn towards the end of the ride, and still the hours after the session? (ps: I don't smoke)
  24. Maybe its just a perception thing...lets say its a left turn - I stand on pedals, weight fairly far in front, body steer to left, ...then reach a tipping point where it feels like I'm gonna fall cross over the handle bar, quite nerve racking in wet conditions...it also somehow feels like Im trying to turn...bot turning fast enough. Its 680 cm bar and other people on the same geometry (but diff tires) certainly move faster than me through tight corners. I believe if I have tires with good grip I will push harder. Some maybe the question should be : Do you thing the Brontager 29-3 Team edition has good grip?
  25. Looking for 29er tubeless tire that has good grip (i.e. solid confidence on fast single track corners) Right now I have a Brontager 29-3 Team edition - fast and light-ish (730 g) - not bad at all. Never had any problems except that I don't think it grips 100% around switchback corners Its on American Classics 'tubeless' wheel Running Geax AKA on back Must be tubeless, must not be prone to side cuts 2.2 or 2.25 Must not be heavier than the existing weight (thus Saguaro is out) ...any suggestions?
