  1. Letting this happen is more upsetting.. Why must we be forced out of our sport, because of the criminals..??????? Why is nothing being done by the Authorities ??????????????????? Does a member of the local community have to suffer a hijacking or death before the situation recieves attention???????????????? ITS A SHAME AND A REAL DISGRACE, that innocent people are being attacked daily - and nothing gets done to prevent the attacks...
  2. This is really crappy Sorry to hear.. Pity we have so many of these morons in our country just taking violently from innocent people,,,, Hope they get hit by a bus whilst using the stolen goods....

  5. Hi I would like some advice - I have recently become the owner of a Howler (Kona dual sus) It is still being shipped to me - It was built stock as a Single chainring DH Freeride bike... To convert it to be more XC friendly..... It has a Aerozine SL triple chainring crank fitted brand new....no shifter or front derailer yet..... I want to know : If this is a good conversion...or should I opt for going back to single chainring?? What would my best option be for front derailer??? I am going to use it for trails like Groenkloof... Rietvlei green.... etc I would like to do odd XC rides... Any one have any advice?

  19. Wow - looks good Congrats Almost as nice as my Carbon / Titanium Tissot.. T Touch... For all weight weenies - who MTB and Who could get lost T-Touch Titanium Collection by Tissot. T33.7.898.92 Polished solid Titanium case. Soft black rubber strap Carbon weave black dial with black and white hands and markers. Luminous hands and markers. Rotating bezel. Pressing the center button activates the glass. Touching the corresponding label of the desired function will activate it. The glass will be deactivated after 30 seconds of inactivity. Chronograph Function - Chrono Function with split time capability. Barometer Function - The hands on the watch will superimpose to indicate the variance in the atmospheric pressure. The T-Touch measures these variations to indicate the meteorological trend. When the atmospheric pressure rises, the skies clear. The hands will move toward the right. When the atmospheric pressure decreases, it becomes cloudy. The hands will move toward the left. The digital display will give the absolute pressure in hectoPascal. Altimeter Function - When the altimeter function is activated, the watch is turned into a barometric altimeter and displays the altitude in relation to average sea level. The T-Touch Multi-function can be set to display the altitude in meters or feet. Thermometer Function - The T-Touch is able to display the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit while in the thermometer mode. For the most accurate temperature measurements, the watch should be removed from the wrist for at least 15 minutes so that body temperature does not effect the reading. Compass Function - While in the compass mode, the T-Touch with the minute hand indicates the geographical North Pole taking into consideration the magnetic deviation. The T-Touch Multi-function will indicate the degree of magnetic deviation between the geographic and magnetic North Pole on the digital display. Alarm Function - 24 hour alarm function with acoustic alarm. Precise Swiss Quartz movement. Scratch resistant Sapphire crystal. Water resistant to 30m. Case measures 42mm diameter by 13mm thick. 24 Months Limited Warranty.
  20. Last time wife and I turned up for the ride... no one else did... She was not amused, was a bit p***ed that I got her out of bed and ready for a ride, which was badly planned and never took place, I ended up at Groenkloof.. doing a 30 km ride... She vowed to never do this group ride again...
