They will all be reliable, for the amount of riding you plan on doing. The issue with these bikes usually come with wheels not being tough enough, but for stuff like the burger, I doubt it will go above the bikes limits. I checked the secondhand bikes, I saw people are ridiculous with their prices on gumtree, basically asking the original price. Bike like that should be round R3500 in second hand market.

Joh! that seems like a lot of money these days, for such low spec. I would not buy one of them. But the silverback has the best components of the lot, if one has to choose a better of the evils. Check bike shops for last years stock. Got hold of an entry level bike for my mother at 2/3 of the original price, with similar spec (ended up around R4800). I was shocked to see the lack of build quality on entry level bikes, half of the bikes we looked at still had screw on cassettes! Not to mention the plate stamped chainrings. Would've thought better tech came down to the lower price bracket, but everything seems china mass produced.

I mailed OLX, since they dont have report button like Gumtree, they said they'll remove ad and ban user. I hate fraudsters like these to my core, although I believe gullible people should knock their head every few times, haha

They all look nice but pretty expensive (Aka not in my budget), for the cheapskates like me the Fox Flux is a winner, had it now for 2 years, used as my DJ to all-mountain lid.

Your body adapts, takes a while though. Officer training in the Navy, we had about 3-4 hours sleep on a day for the 1st 7 months, 7 hours academic classes/studying and the rest was physical training. Didn't have coffee or long lunches, but body adapted, without any stimulants. Edit: And if you fell a sleep in class, it meant a Trip to the GB anchor on the mountain or a swim round to bikini beach if you were lucky http://www.southafrica.to/accommodation/Cape-Town/Gordons-Bay/images/gordons-bay-gb.jpg

Its right in the end, absolutely insane! http://vimeo.com/99770964 this guy can join up with the helmetless fraternity, haha

Got to go sell my Hardtails right now, lol... And I dont ride anything except singletrack/trails/DH... All my bikes are hardtails at the moment My advice is buy the one that looks the best/most apealing, as that is the way you'll probably be riding, haha

That cap only needs to be hand tighten, any tighter and it may lock.

Ghetto fit?? You only need an allen key to tighten it properly?

One of my favourite movies of all time, also incredibly underrated. Equilibrium http://youtu.be/ZVDiaYQXBVs

My bell: Also makes other bikers feel inferior, due to the fact that they cant greet me back when I greet them with a smile and a ring-ring. have to admit, ringing it more than I should... maybe also because I don't have shifters to entertain my thumbs

I have a bell... Runners, please take your earphones out while running. 90% of all runners i come across run with it in their ears... They are totaly oblivious to anything happen around them

Do people actually use them? All I know is, give no one permission to tow my car. If necessary leave car at the scene and organize a tow-in from the garage you will be doing repairs

lol... indicators

Die hub is nog baie rustig http://s2.quickmeme.com/img/6d/6dcd0a898ba98885699820e59eb67ac7363a139b225d0ae93363d0ef9cacc0c0.jpg http://www.lolhome.com/img_big/welcome-online.jpg

But some solid advice... google what happens/where the error occurs, and I bet you 1000+ people have had the same problem and one of them was nice enough to write a step by step guide how to fix it. I have computers/laptops over 10years old, all running in the same condition as when I got them.... and I know very little about computers, but with the internet&google, anyone can fix a computer.

Not even in the "off-topic" section, haha... there is so many things that factors in here, this thread should be deleted. By computer is broken... please fix.... whats broken? I feel for all the IT/network/ computer/mac support out there

take off all the gears, SS is by far the most reliable!!

That 1st scene reminds me of Jonkers drive, haha

Anyone game for some sessions this june/July around campus or where ever. Got 2 months holiday and an empty campus. Let me know if anyone keen to join. Can be trials, DJ, BMX or whatever you riding style is, we can find some spots

thought mountain biking started as rogue riders, cutting paths in municipal Forrest... if it wasnt for the rogues, pressure wouldnt have been there to create the routes. Come catch me,lol

True, but problem is I fall in the non 29'er market, which means outside the target market for shops around here. Only thing I buy local would be clothing and protection items

I basically only shop online as I work on my own bike, so imports the best. But, have to say, for every 10 parcel I order from Chain reaction, il maybe order 1 from local shops. Thing is, if you cant beat CRC with prices, then I dont see the use of buying local, which is going to be hard

If I had/should spend R10k on bike, it will be that Intense, absolute bargain

haha.. ja, some people dont only check wheelsize, some actualy check frame size too
