  1. Evens .Not evins
  2. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/118923-lets-see-those-on-ones/page__st__160#
  3. I have a steel inbred with a 120 mm RS XX lockout dual air fork .I sold my carbon fork before even using it .My bike setup is as good as it gets and as comfortable as i want it to be
  4. Buying a Tallboy frame is like buying your first assos bib .It is so much easier to fork out the money when you know what you are getting the second time you buy either
  5. http://reviews.mtbr.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Santa-Cruz-Juliana.jpg Santa Cruz Juliana .And the colour is right to
  6. My whoos is still sore from the last 2 events on a hardtail .I am so enjoying my SC Tallboy again
  7. I will be going as soft as i can without losing control .My weght is 100 kg .Front tyre 1.7 Rear 1.8 and shocks 10 psi lower than normal .On a Fox fork it is 100 psi and rear shock 210 psi
  8. He might have been cleared for other reasons than that is given .The pharmacist story just does not hold water .I believe he is clean ,but that the testing is where the mess up was made
  9. Where do you live and ride ?
  10. The first 2climbs of the day are tougher than the last one .Ending in the steepest part of the stage in the last 3km .Go try it !
  11. A challenging ,enjoyable route again .Well organized like always
  12. That will be way to expensive and difficult for the celebs and exarro .The entry fee will go to > R100k for the profits to remain the same .Maybe R95k then the riders have to make their own breakfast
  13. Hallo Wessel .Kan 80 verander word na 115 .Reeds ingeskryf vir 80km
  14. Spez +1 WTB Silverado and bontrager .All mentioned above already
  15. I am in for 45km
  16. Sorry to burst your bubble but i am not waiting in anticipation .Only in the Ladies & Bicycles thread that happens
  17. Tomorrow !
  18. That happens .I use a bmx chain .No slapping about but should have about half an inch of play by hand
  19. My current sprocket choice does not allow me to get proper chain tension and have the rear brake fit perfectly on my inbred .If a take a chain like out is to tight and if i leave like it in the brake disc is slightly out of its groove .With 38 x 18 it was perfect .Running 36x 19 now
  20. The problem with horizontal dropouts compared to paragon sliders is that you might have difficulty getting the chain tension correct and the brake to fit properly .Eccentric BB solves that and also a normal frame with chain tensioner solves that problem .With paragon slider or similar the whole rear unit with the brake and wheel moves .Also much easier to change rear sprockets with a normal frame and tensioner
  21. R8000too much .R5000 to little .I think R6500.is fair
  22. S-works frame and fork R60000 and only in orange and black
  23. Not related to cycling but it helps to give a damn .When i was returning from school after picking up my daugters we noticed a school case lying on the pavement at dusk .We stopped and retrieved the case ,phoned the owner and found out that he did not even know his case was missing .After giving his parents the info where we found it ,they went and retrieved their laptop bag with all important documents in that his dad had worked on for months in the same area .Turned out that their car was broken into and said items stolen while they were attending a school function
  24. Using a hairdryer to get a headset into a carbon frame and to get a BB loosened or fastened works the best .Almost no force needed if you heat the outer part first
  25. WD 40 cleans as well as lubes
