  1. Anyone doing / done CrossFit training in the off season for strength and endurance, or even during the season for a bit of cross training? If so, your thoughts? did it help with your cycling / running / swimming?

  2. Hi All, quick question to all the single speed riders out there that did the Sani this year, what were your times for day 2? Reason I ask is I smashed my derailleur start of day 2 so had to ride single spped, and it absolutely killed me! I have massive respect now for the guys that do this day in and day out.

    So let me know the times you did so I can see if I did okay.

  3. Hi Guys, just wanted to find out how long does it normally take for orders from Chain Reaction to get to you? Please let me know, thinking of ordering some stuff but working on a tight deadline.

  4. Hi all,

     

    Does anyone know apart from rollers, if there are any IDT's compatible with a thru axle MTB?

    PLease help, have a knee injury so cannot get out and ride for at least a couple weeks, so need to get an IDT.

    If you know of a brand, even better where I can buy one immediately, please let me know.

     

    Thanks.

  5. Im weighing in at 93kg's at the moment, running the crests on Hope hubs, granted I ride quite hard, but I have just had to replace my front rim and the back one is going in today for trueing, I have had them for about a month. So id say depends on how hard you ride, if you ride district roads etc then no issue, but if you enjoy steep rocky descents with a bit of air time, stay away. Thats my opinion.

  6. Hi guys, please help. Was busy tonight servicing wheels on my 29er, long story short, when inflating the rear tyre to re-seat it, I got it up to 4 bar (normal for seating) and the tyre literally exploded off the rim. now my question, does anybody know why this would happen? The tyre is rated to 5.5 bar so it could not have been over inflated, could it be that the tyre is a bit old? Came with my rims so no idea how old it is, still got plenty tread though, its a small block eight.

  7. I ride a 26er Dual suss but even I am getting tired of this thing against 29er riders, yes some of them are w@nkers but not all. Some of my best mates live at the coast and ride 29ers.I did not read your entire post but I find your heading "Table View beach W@anker with mountain bike" extremely offensive.

    In the interests of political correctness rather say "Cyclist with big stupid wheels seen in Table view" No need for name calling. That is all.

     

    Thats your problem right there, you did not read the entire post!it may clear things up a bit :)

  8. medium pace, currently we doing around the 18 - 20km/h average over 23 - 25 km's, but it must also be noted that its not trail riding as we not sure of the trails in the area, so we normally leave BP, past fourways gardens, up Lombardy, into Syringa , right onto cedar then right off cedar into chartwell (there where Steyn's new development is next to Dainfern). Only ride for about an hour, but the earlier it gets lighter, the earlier we'll be leaving, so pretty soon we should be able to get 2 hrs in.

  9. well I went out this morning did 20.5 k's in and around Chartwell/broadacres, but mainly just on the sand roads (not sure where to find trails in that area), its more to just get out in the mornings and get some k's on the legs. was out this morning from 5h20 for around an hour. The earlier it gets lighter, the earlier id like to start, but want to be done by 6h30. Was also hoping to meet some guys that could show us a couple more routes. Going to be looking at doing around 3 mornings per week, i figure 60 - 90 minutes on the bike is better than sitting indoors on a spinning bike!!! Let me know what you guys think.
