I have had a few hours to settle down.. But I was spitting Flames after 2 hours hard hot hilly riding To come back to your 6 month old SUV to see some D I P s * * *has carved into my wheels using his/her bar ends And not even just left a sorry note.. It p I s s e s me off - I know accidents happen - so then be Accountable and appologise.. Its the decent thing to do Now I'm #*"@:!$ off all over again

To the Ponce who rode his/her bike into my SUV Today between 11 & 13H30 and left a nice deep Scratch across both passenger doors.. You know who you are - For not even leaving a appology note - You are the worst type of spineless ponce May your bearings seaze and your legs fade Karma will find you - Luckily .. Cos if I do I will not be accountable. Pity there are MTB riders like you who damage peoples Property and don't have the decency to even apologise You $$#*@! The wheel turns!NEWBY00072009-09-13 10:21:52

Hi Johan Thanks - makes sense.. When is the shock service course ????

I ride a KHS Mtb.. The bolt is loose...... and refitted.. no prob...

I hope its just threads..

Hi Why would a stem bolt - (Pinch BOLT) make a snapping sound when loosening? The steerer is carbon and the stem is scandium... Any ideas, I know from working on motors - this is usually the threads loosening, but on a bicycle ???????????????/NEWBY00072009-09-09 04:31:14

MY HUMBLE OU TOPPIE OPINION We all think that our Bike is the bees Knees.. I would hope If we could all afford the best bike - we would all have the same...bike So in my HO - you buy what you can afford, and then make it " bling"to your taste .....and as good as you can without going bankrupt.. The Best rider, again - we all believe deep down - we are the best That is until we hit a rocky decent or a drop off.. then .....

Thanks Will get hold of your contact Cat-I Spano - will check out the Web Thanks

EISH Do you have a bit more detail? I might take a ride out to Parys

HELP ME PLEASE Where can we ride I am spending the week end in Potch - with my inlaws... I need some place to ride... MTB

Did blue/Green ride for 3 hours sat.. Was great - fenced off park and ride is great with very cool tech blue route.. Can say it was safe ... for nowNEWBY00072009-08-24 11:59:05

Bump - no where ?????

Hi I would like some advice on where I Can ride XC Mtb in Potch? Some place like MTN park Rietvlei or Fountains.

Yep - Or Lx - Can you do second hand or is it all new?

UM Ok so no one is better than the other..... Looks like I will have to use my own opinion here.. My XT'S work great - hauling my 98kg to a stop down hills etc.. I am looking to replace my wifes brakes - and want her to have great braking too, currently her mech disc brakes fade - and struggle to pull her minute 47Kg to a stop... I will rethink the whole thing... I want simple easy excellent brakes which will work for her.. Looks like Shimano is tops on that score...

Ok thanks Looks like XT has the edge over Avids.. But only just

Hi Which hyd disc brakes are better \ Best Avid juicy 5 Avid juicy 7 Shimano XT I have an idea would like ure advice hubbers

If I can find my 1980 SUMMIT BMX this could work That thing was made of HT STEEL of note with Chrome Moly somewhere in the mix.. I crashed more on her than I can remember.. before we had nice tracks, built - we raced in the veld and once a week at Brikor in Edenvale The Frame never flinched, my stitches count was 300 + Before I got too tall for her.. I think some guy is still riding her - in Midrand 25years later..

This is my master plan= I must loose 12 Kg and get back to my weight 20 years ago when i was 23... (getting older sucks ) Even more so now since my wife climbs like a mountain goat.. I have taken 7 years to get her Mtbing with me - Sat on her second try with me - She climbs like "Contador" When I eventually caught her on the down side, of the climb 10 min later She Says " I hate hills so had to make it end as quickly as possible" Who knew - I married a king of the mtns who weighs in at 46Kg climbs like a mountain goat god.. I need to loose the bulge... But more important I want to make my Hardtail weight weenie bling Just cos I can

I just replaced the tompson seat post... So you may be right here - Could not find a 27.diam Tompson ----- The saddle - which I have is light and comfy - Fizik - I have monkey light OS easton bars - super strong with Tompson x4 Elite stem.. This not even I will break easily.. my Cane Creek lock ons -- these need replacing..

I like this formula = 46 / 4.4 = 10.45 -- I am almost on target

Aha Price This is where it got tricky.. I wanted to set up a good light and customized =hard tail for no more than 10k.. - I started with new out the box bike for the frame - warranty ..etc... Then I stripped her added my spare bits off previous bike and traded for other items I wanted to add ...... I am still approx 1k away from the magic 10k.. and the bike is a dream to ride.. even for me a heavy 98kg .. dude... But sadly still like me over weight .. Maybe a set of carbon cranks will bring her closer.. I want to keep the frame for a year or two before going full carbon... By then I too should have shed the extra kilos
