Had sugery, after 7 months, of waiting to see if my situation and strength in my left arm would get better, but it did not, plus my riding ability , became such that I was so cautious of injury again on the same shoulder , that it was not enjoyable. Very pleased with the result as I am left handed and have the strength back as before and the confidence.

Started with flats, but then got advised to ride cleats, as all the better riders ,were on cleats then. This was more then 15 years ago. Found I just could not ride anything Dh or rocks though, with cleats.So rode my enduro bike , and jumps with flats.Cleats for my distance bike.Problem was even on a rough section of any trail, I was so uncomfortable being cleated in,I was always uncleating anyway. Last year found out my left calf was painful, for days after riding with cleats, so switched to flats,no more pain! The first long distance(for me) over 100 km ride, on flats, realised will never ride with cleats again. Never been a fast rider anyway.

Gotcha! busy watching a clip on the mo, 6902 bearings for hub body front and back, 6802 for the freehub thanks.

Having being riding my lyne amp wheelset ,27,5 on my scott spark for a 17 months now. Type of riding has been mostly trail, and minor rocks etc, as happens, also open jeep track, and longer roads ,mixed in. At about 13 months noticed the alumimum nipples were cracking, and some corrosion as well, so replaced them with brass nipples, which was a upgrade IMO. All being said, very pleased with them. My back wheel bearings have a little play in them now ,and need replacing. Just asking please, does anyone have the specs for the actual size of these bearing, please? Normally take bearings out, and then use these to sample, for new bearings, but want to save time.

Just asking something for a friend, This friend of mine, due to the croniaviris is not receiving a income , and maybe unemployed. So he asked this discovery health for a cheaper option, just a a hospital plan. A cost per month was mentioned which was accepted. On 30th April late in the afternoon, the doc'S and attachements were sent , which were accepted, (this friend does not look at the finer print, accepted it, assumed would be a figure as first quoted and accepted.) Admittedly such documents should be studied in detail, but at month end ,no time. Debt order goes through on the 3rd, R280 more than the quoted figure. On query gets told its the vitality amount not included. Surely if someone says this is all they can afford, it means its all they can afford, why just add on more?

Have sent you a pm.

About 4 years ago,when we were subjected to the first round of load shedding, I realised that it was only the communication ,entertainment items that I really wanted. I bought a 1500w modified sign wave inverter ,1 95 amp/hour good battery, and some other items such as fuses,, voltmeter ,main isolator switch , constructed this all on a anodised metal baseplate with wheels, an added an extra 12v computer fan for extra cooling. I installed two socket outlets on it for 220v ac, and one for12vdc (maybe a lighting circuit in future.) I ran an extra subcircuit in the house, which the tv and two computers, and the router is plugged into. this subcircuit is connected onto a plug top and onto the mains supply. I have a cheap 12v car battery charger the the inverter. When load shedding occurs, all I do is remove the subcircuit plugtop, and plug it into the inverter socket outlet, I manually switch the inverter on, its really a simple system, but certainly has worked faultlessly when needed. Total cost was about R8000. At the moment would like to maybe add a second battery, which would push up my run time to over 4 hours. Have a gas stove , already, Had ideas to expand my system , but just have not got around to it.

Open and very good, more trail has been added,

having just purchased a set of 27,5 amp I had my first proper test at Howick trails open day,yesterday. I have them on my 2014 scott spark, and have fitted 2,4 maxis ardent tyres . Through the rock gardens , I found them stiff and also very stable a lower speeds over some of the bigger rocks as well , as adding lots more confidence to me, Very pleased with them.

Have just ordered a set of the amp 27,5 wheels,are they centre lock or 6 bolt on rotors ,please?

Very impressed with the trail, ended up doing it three times, well done to all involved in this project. I will be back here again. Pleased with the idea of more trail of this standard.

nice pictures!makes me want to ride this right this now!

Love the big table tops on Zore. Built in such a way, that they cater for skilled riders, and yet make the less skilled improve! Came back for there and was able to do drop offs , and some fair sized jumps ,and yet it was mainly the confidence ,that I had achieved from there.

I have used a train ,with a bike bag, from Italy to Geneva, was going ok,but then an unexpected train breakdown had me running.

I find its motivates me to ride harder, when using a heart rate monitor,have figured out my own perceived effort , and an average value,based on my statistics for the last four years , sometimes though I do not use it ,as I am doing a fun ride, and it does not count for training.

I ride almost every day, and will not go more than 3 months without doing a lower leg service on my lyric fork.Once I left it to 4months and found my fork was dry and a little dirt had made its way in past the seals. I have learnt to do it myself, as I would be reluctant to pay R800, every 3 months.I have been using the same seals for two years though.

Its always easier and more profitable for a shop to sell a customer a new bike that fix an old one. As lbs go Leighs do seem to be well managed and organised.

just come back from a ride on my 26 anthem, yesterday was on my 26 morewood ( with a bit of jumping for fun) ride what you like . Me I am happy with what I have.

Have you been riding the Pleney line ? maybe its to wet? Thanks for the vids, hopefully the weather improves, thou it does not look that the track is very muddy, on Les Gets.

Well done to the organisers of this event. I think G2G had a lot to do with the planning and building of the trail, and it was top class. At the end I was undecieded about which stage was the best, as all were so good ! This is the third year of this event,and each year it gets better,having 5 stages was a winner.

On 2 occasions I have briefly tried out my brothers 29 er, since I mainly ride a 160mm enduro/freeride bike, or a 26 er anthem, I did notice its more stable, and must be faster. I am not to fussed about my time in races , so not in a rush to justify why I need one. Need to break the anthem, to give me a reason! Leaning more towards a 650b .

Its a good frame, and a good fork.The anthem is a bike which is well known,as they are a good design. Have a 2008 anthem which I am very happy with.

In your picture it looks as though you are missing the inside sleeve/bush that should be pressed into the shock. These are what I have replaced before when I have had play.

I was at Karkloof today "the bat out of hell' remindered me of Morzine, so far its the closest comparison to the runs there I have yet found here.
