Smolly

I live and work at Sun City, planning an afternoon ride as I dont feel like being here too late. Will send PM

Title says it all

2nd day back at the office and I drop in for a visit to find this! The whole rant and rave reminds me of a thread started by the editor of Tread Magazine: DIRT ROADIES! hahahah

I always use pliers!! Learnt the hard way with my bomb

Hope they will be fine! Thanks for keeping us informed!

...and the spineless f*er drives away!!

Looks like a low calorie butter sauce with those prawns

Eish..... The forces of ying and yang have been working hard! I train like hell in the morning, then carbo load (beer up) in large quantities every night! What a balls up, gained 3 kgs and feeling it!

I think someone needs a hug !

RIP

I purchased the above mentioned frame for reasonable price and would like to know what fellow hubbers think of my choice as I did not do a lot of research, but what I read seemed ok. Cheers,

Aliens! has to be!

I am thinking about doing the trans karoo. I can comfortably do 50km mtb riding at the moment, but am wondering what sort of push would be needed to get ready for 240km in the saddle. So, any hubber "experts" out there who can assist. PS: I might be looking for a team mate as well

Don't need a logical reason! I love it! And yes, "money in my pocket" is a myth! I pay the rent for my lbs.

Already been for my 45km mud bath/ride..... now for my 15 minutes

Hell....is this thread still going??

This is as good as it gets should have been a sailor! EDIT: posts edited

I will agree with you on that too! Perhaps I and others were a bit too harsh! So... let me retract the comments from my harsh post as it was over the top and not what I stand for! Let me say: "Apologies for the F off back the Alps comment, but admit when you are wrong, and being educated about trespassing with an escort is better than a prosecution or seeing the wrong end of a shot gun! So, please set an example and don't F it up for us who live here"

The point is that when someone refuses you access to their land and you trespass, get caught, then moan on the net how you are removed with an escort, then no sympathy will be given. A "pro" should lead by example as many youngsters idolise figures like that. As many hubbers have pointed out, people who do not respect private land ruin it for others, and in this case, he can go back to europe and not care less, but others who do not have that privilege have to suffer because of his arrogance/actions. We have all thrown a few harsh words at the taxis speeding past stationary traffic in the yellow line, so what is different here? I don't take back my previous post, as it appears that arrogance over took common sense in this instance. To sum it up: So he may be a nice guy, great, but we have all done stupid things (including me) which we sometimes have to think about afterwards and say: "I was a w@nker"

Excuse my appalling grammer and spelling above! Not that fresh this morning. I agree with DJR. My last set of upgrades cost more than I originally paid for my bike, but the upside is that my bike unique and has all the components I want, and not what came with a complete bike

Had the same issue, and reveived sound advice from my lbs. Change the fork, there is nothing wrong with the x mission rear shock. I changed my rockshox recon to a rock shox SID and that has chnaged my ride completely and now my rear shock is no longer an issue. My advice is to do it the front shock first and see if that gives you what you are looking for. If not, change to tubeless(if not already done. Make you rear shock your last priority as it will probably cost you R3000 to save 100 grams.

Paid R500 a tyre for protection x king and race king - in Rustenburg though
