  1. Strider days are clever. Awesome way to get your brand out there as well as getting the kids riding on a fun track
  2. Thanks for the info folks. Its amazing, my son has gone from riding his bike every other month to begging to ride it in the street EVERY day. Good sign i hope.
  3. Ok awesome, silly question but can you free wheel on those bikes nowadays?
  4. Does your boys bike have brakes or is it one of those back peddle brake jobs??
  5. Had Click Clack sounds from both my anthems, sound like it come from the front. Have never been able to find the source. My worry is that the click clack puts me to sleep Edit - oh and I have never had frame issues with either, Im quite short so the seat post doesn't stick out to much .
  6. Your laaitie must be big?? I ride a 16"
  7. What I find with MTB gloves is that the index and thumb tips begin to wear out with all the braking and gear chaining. Have you had any issues like this?? I have resorted to using leather Hirzl gloves to prevent this, but the stitching keeps coming out.
  8. Need some advice moms and pops. It's almost time to upgrade my four year olds balance bike to a peddle bike. We can't raise his seat anymore and he's wanting to go faster but can't use the crappy drum brake on his bike. Any advice on what a good upgrade should be?? Don't really want a Makro special but rather something designed for kids that's works well. I know LBS's will stock some bikes but looking for first hand advice.
  9. Spit and polish after a cruise around the block
  10. Besides Mavic SL's (with proprietary spokes) which other rims after full USTNOTAPEANDOTHERCRAPNEEDED??
  11. Netflix costs me just over R100 a month, I use unotelly for the DNS thingy and that's just over R50 a month. 4mb adsl 60gig cap and it's more than enough for me. Still have Dstv cause my wife thinks we need it. I use PayPal for both services
  12. Sadly another bike jacking in the south, this time at the Vlei bike park @ Rietvlei zoo: A caution to users of the walking and cycle trails at Rietvlei not to carry any valuables with them and to be cautious and aware of their surroundings at all times. On Friday afternoon at approximately 15h00 i was cycling on the green route by rietvlei zoo farm when i was confronted by 4 brazen males (two from the front and two from the back on a particularly narrow part of the trail) who demanded my vaulables and bike. Fortunately all remained calm and the incident did not become violent .Unfortunately the boundary on the side of the trail is unsecured and whatever fencing that was installed has disintegrated and not been maintained. The perperpetrators are obviously knowledgeable about the property, routes and what potential victims and valuables are to be had. While security personnel are present on the site, they are not present on the trails and their speed of response on being alerted leaves a lot to be desired. While security did take me on a tour of the back of the property by Liefde en Vrede, they did not appear to be very observant as they were eating while driving. There was no sense of urgency or interest in finding and detaining the perpetrators. Despite hearing stories to the contrary, the cycle shop claimed that there had been no other incidents in the last two years . Up to now i have not heard a word from management at Rietvlei!
  13. Anybody out there with a giant BMX?? If so is it any good??
  14. Are the WL's true tubeless (or what ever its called?) or do you have to run tape and all that other stuff to seal them proper?
  15. The Doc, out of curiosity, I'm trying marathon for the first time. When I mix it, it seems like the powder takes forever to dissolve! Is this normal? It also seems to foam helluva lot, more so when compared to the carbo fuel?
  16. Got some extra Christmas beetle protein with my marathon passion fruit, hopefully it give me wings.
  17. Agreed, getting cadence is like a 45 min trek for me, and stock isn't guaranteed at cyclelab. Residing in JHB South
