  1. You guys serious about the 30 day test, awesome. Just bought my fiance a 18 inch Merida 1-20 500D, it ends with being a tad to high, the cross bar, if this true then I'm asking them to swap out for a 16 inch. G
  2. Hmmm damm that picture looks nice, and like the fact that the other bits are included. You driving a hard bargain, problem for me I said my budget is R2K, but was really hoping to stop at R1500... hehehe damm there goes that idea. Where can I get it, I know CycleLab can probably do it, but they got it listed as R3400. G
  3. Please correct me, it looks like the Cs300 is only the watch unit, everything like the speed sensor, the Cadence sensor and the HR sensor are all additional cost items. G
  4. My phone is a iPhone, not about to carry it with me, or mount on bike, a tumble will end to expensive. G Is there a good online shop you guys can recommend, looking at the Polar CS300 and then Cateye CC-TR300TW atm.
  5. Hi, Would like to keep cost below R2000. G
  6. Hi all Looking at getting computer. Want the basic ride logging capabilities, HR monitor and Cadence, Being able to download to computer will be nice Have been told to look at the Polar CS300, only thing I'm not keen on the wrist based/watch format. Like the screens of the Cateye's Need some advise. G oh btw, it's for MTB riding

    Meyerton MTB Race

    Could be, only information I got it is late July. G
  8. ooops, Someone from Moderators please correct the label, should be MTB not MTN G
  9. Hi all How about we build up a list of MTB Manufacturers and Accessories, lets list the name and URL's. Bikes Merida - www.merida.com/ Accessories Shimano - www.shimano.com/ G
  10. Do the payment with EFT or Cheque, make sure it matches the letter, otherwise they will say thats a fake letter... Think out the box, think in the line of what can we do/find to justify that we/insurance company don't have to pay... G
  11. l also saw that now, will wait till next week then G
  12. Hi all I heard something about a MTB race in late July in the Meyerton area (Just south of Alberton). Who can tell me more. G
  13. Hi all What do you guys for MTB insurance. I thought I had a policy but it seems it actually got discontinued 2 years ago already. My general house insurance company seems to want a premium with which I can buy and finance a nice new bike on a monthly basis. G
  14. Hi there When it comes to tweelies and quads these days KTM is a vey serious competitor. Their quads for one come totally kitted out, there is very little you need to add/customize. but we're digressing, as far as MTB is concerned I'm leaning towards the One-Twenty. G
  15. Hi there Thanks for the pointers, I come from the quad family and have done thousands of Km's, I had a couple of scary off's and I'm walking still because I did no go cheap on safety gear. Helmet is first, quality is valued. Thanks for the pointer on the bike's, was starting to lean towards the Merida. G
  16. Hi all My Fiance and myself are looking at joining some friends that go MTB'ing every weekend, with luck it wil go into some casual races and wknd trips down the road. I've set myself a R10K budget for the bike, requirements I've set also are Full suspension front and back and disc brakes. So far the bikes I've narrowed down onto are the KTM Comp 3.0 2011 and the Marida One-Twenty 500 2011. Who knows these two bikes, hows the specs of each,any other comments Extra little bits that I will also get: Helmet Gloves Shirt Pants Camel Pack. (I'll do clip in's later, bikes come with pedal's that flat on the one side and clip in on the other) Might spend a couple of bucks on a cheap computer to record distance and time to keep track on sweat left behind...
