  1. Thats the type of answer that helps a fella
  2. If I buy a slx or a deore or a xt group set, what really is the difference? What benefit do you get for the extra cash? About to upgrade my spark 950 components and looking at the prices it's from 3500 to 17500 for a group set. And please if you can be specific, don't say speed or effort
  3. I have a fenix that supports routes and tracks. If I upload a route to the fenix, can it navigate it and still record my stats so I can upload to strata and garmin connect?

  6. Bumping
  7. Still looking at this... Hopefully be abke to get one this year....
  8. Thanks but i want to know what these measurements and different types etc is... So next time i buy a rim or a derailer i know what to look for... So if i replace my crank i know whats the diff between a 2x10 36/42 and know if it will fit
  9. Im soon going to replace my groupset on my scott spark 950. What do i need to look for? What type derailed? What length crank? Hat type rear derailer What chain? What type wheels? What bb What else? What teeth numbering 36/42? See so many options on cRC... Dont want to order wrong stuff
  10. Are we again bringing up the stink of the arrogance of roadies... I see this daily. Coming up Sandton drive a bunch ride 4 sometimes 5 abreast, skip the traffic lights and have no regard for rules. Iv seen it a few times visiting relatives in the vaal area, they take up the whole road there by Blue Saddles Ranch. See it daily where I live. Reality here is that we only see this a few min in and we don't really now what happened. But regardless of who was in the wrong, these fobs have caused so much damage to the cycling community. I now see this video everywhere from Twitter, FB to News24. Even if the driver did aggravate them they just set back the Motorist / cyclist relationship back months if not years. I agree with a comment made on news 24, bring back the bicycle licence plate so we can identify and fine these turds.
  11. Thought candys are eggbeaters?
  12. Cant see any nut ? Probably lost it then
  13. Hate the Shimano ones will not take any other than candy / eggbeaters
  14. Wanted to do a nice rain ride and 2 km in my pedal slipped off... Is it busted or can it be fixed and if so how?
  15. As of today my fenix not only is a smart watch that shows my iphone notifications, it also has the ability to synch with my phone to upload to garmin connect and supports live track just like the 810. See here http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=6137
  16. Pm me im in boskruin. Just around the corner
  17. Ps is there maybe a whats app group for spruit rides?
  18. il be there. At 7.
  19. Jip check that one.... But as a quick one can tell you my problem was sorted by a bike fit.
  20. Was ok... But disappointed it was just under 45 km why not just make it the full 50?. Loved the single tracks between the reeds. Hated that 1st 2 climbs.
  21. Nope not the snakeskin ones.
  22. I used to have Maxxis Crossmark and was very happy with them, never an issue with deflating. Had one cut that I could plug. Now on my 2rd set of Schwable Rocket Ron Tubless ready tires. Also had the normal Schwable one that came with my spark 950 and I hate them. These tires are a nightmare to inflate without a bomb or compressor, the constantly loose air somewhere and smallest rock and there is a cut. Now that my rant is done, I do mostly local places( modderfontein, spruit, etc) and then I do a race or two a month ( USN, Nissan t etc) I normally do 50 km plus races so want a decent tire that won’t let me down. What do you guys recommend? Should I just go back to Maxxis Crossmark? Yesterday 7 km into the spruit, 3rd bomb used and 2 sidewall cuts I had enough of these tires. I don’t care if the tire weighs 50 grams more, I want a tire that won’t let me down
  23. Is this a road race? Or mtb? Can i still enter?
  24. pm me your tel nr
