  1. I have these wheels and used a ghetto tjoopless with insulation tape till recently .... no problem inflating with RK's. They did start to lose air after a while (the insulation tape starts to 'shrink') so I have now done it with the 'new' rubber tjoopless strips, not sure who makes them ......
  2. I weigh anything between 95 and 100kg's (maybe not important) and can only comment on tjoopless 35PSI back /30PSI front
  3. You could get a few different answers here but I guess the first question you will be asked is 'how much do you weigh'? Tubed or tubeless ....
  4. White pant on a mountain bike - musta been a 'dirt roadie' - I would also call the 'sector 1 patrol van'
  5. My boet did Epic this year on a 29r HT he got 2 weeks before the race ...... he was fine!
  6. mrbaker I assume you were there ... I was!
  7. Thank everyone, I am passing the info on as I get it. I asusme there will be some serious 'tinkering' this weekend @Eldron you think they may have thought that if used as an SS it would look clean?
  8. He's not an idiot if it was that easy he would have done it. But ..... since you write it with such confidence I assume you have either done it or seen it done like that on an Air 9?
  9. Anyone had to replace cables/outers on their Air9 yet? BrotherBigBen seems to be 'naar' about it, must you really remove the fork and BB 'magafta' and ....... a special tool needed to remove it as well
  10. There I did a search for you https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/108000-sram-grip-shift-is-golden/page__p__1492158__hl__sram+10+speed+grip__fromsearch__1#entry1492158
  11. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: clearly a spelling mistake though
  12. "at some or other point in ones life everyone wants to ride a Specialized" so just let it go, your turn will come
  13. Spinning bikes/IDT/rollers are the devil! Only to be used under extreme conditions when riding is impossible (a hurricane perhaps?)
  14. Not long SLOW, long STEADY - last time I'm saying that
  15. I'm sure the 'techno' okes will be here to comment in a bit but if you're strapped for cash you don't HAVE to buy XTR
  16. If it rains while I'm out well that's just bad luck and I'll persevere but don't start in the rain .....
  17. Dangle, flip 'Shadows' that takes me back to a very different time in my life Sticking with the quitar theme for tonight Joe Walsh - Lifes been good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzxF-M2erx8
  18. Gary Moore/Phil Lynott - Parisienne Walkways (live) Frikkin sublime!
  19. I'm happy with the wider bars (660mm) and no bar ends but don't like the 'sweep' of these bars or the rise .... will pop into the bike shop tomorrow. Maybe a 660 with 20mm rise and less sweep is available?
