  1. And then we are not even mentioning KWV quota wines if you have some hooked up relatives I usually have stock of decent wines and rarely buy... because when friends and relatives visit, there is always a box or 2 in the boot. Go through about 6-8 bottles a week, if exams & academics are not to pressing
  2. Best will probably be to take it to your local bike shop, they will give you the right one and front derailleurs are cheap, so you wont be saving much ordering online.
  3. I just have to sit in traffic for 5min to see a few specialized's on car roof being displayed... yawn
  4. at first glance it looked like a Giant copy-paste... but that pivot at the rear axle can make a big difference
  5. Why drag MTBers into this?
  6. see they also sell the gearbox already enclosed, which means it can just be welded on as needed.
  7. That is pretty sweet!.. think those guys will easily give the drawing which will have measurement if you want to make housing. Does that suspension work like the mogoose/GT type swingarm?
  8. Heard these guys are pretty good with their service, as they need to break into the market, but will probably be import: http://www.effigear.com/#!copie-de-accueil/c1jv8 Haha.. will do! Bike will probably be more expensive than my bakkie and will need a Germany/England trip to get hold of it
  9. Im buying this one next year, when I hopefully start working again, no questions asked!! Was the frame I was waiting for from nicolai, without the derailleur thingy at the front. http://fthumb1.mtb-news.de/cache/670/auto/1/1/fstatic1.mtb-news.de/f3/16/1632/1632105-gkcz3xujqnyk-large.jpg http://fthumb1.mtb-news.de/cache/670/auto/1/1/fstatic3.mtb-news.de/f3/16/1632/1632103-i7e1kvoekxwe-large.jpg
  10. my vote is done:) For those caring about not caring, haha
  11. how bad adding a " I dont care about your wheelsize" option... for the "minorities" like me? Because one day my n+1 bikes will have all sorts of wheels
  12. by the way, when is the boobies coming http://i1.wp.com/i.imgur.com/RZXY7.gif
  13. I didn't ride this weekend... it sucked
  14. People who believe his crap, probably dont need a helmet, as they don't have grey matter which is worth protecting. I've learned my lesson a the hard way that you need a helmet. No one needs to tell me the benefits anymore, haha
  15. Barspin spin potential
  16. Think you might ge making a fundamental mistake, your top cap should not hold your headset together. Its only to tighten it initially, once youve thightened it, you tighten stem bolts to hold it in place, and then you can loosen your top cap a bit. Your stem should be holding your headset together, not your starnut and top cap. If your stem is not tight enouh, the starnut will probably start pulling loose
  17. tubeless not solution to everything (unlike 29'ers which solves all mtb related problems, haha). my reason bikes mostly used for DJ&street, so tubeless not best idea
  18. where i get my tubes http://www.chainreac...en/tubes?f=2258 read a lot of people use stans in normal tubes... maybe going to try it
  19. i just go the cheapest route... those bulk packs from CRC, @R35 a tube. most of my flats are snakebites, so slime no use
  20. saw that, I was like, how is that even possible. He's like gymnast just carrying bike with.
  21. Danny's new vid
  22. Would really like a build like this, all the right parts in the right places, but hate the colour scheme, I want all black.
  23. I'll still have to gooi with the eye, my wheels not exactly centre
  24. Had the same think happen to a dual air Rockshox Revelation I had.. end of story meant R900 replacement chamber.
  25. Dont buy cheap wheels or try to compensate when buying wheels for trail/hard riding... part of bike that takes the most punishment Spanks are awesome, only rims I ride, except for my Halo Combat's dont have experience with Stans EDIT: A wheelset which will be able to take punishment start at around R4.5k for 26", so you might be looking at a bit more.
