Well this is not something you are going to fix with direction. It's a mentality and these are most probably the same guys who ride 5 abreast' date=' go upstream on a single track and fart while peeing. [/quote'] 'n pi$ sonder 'n poep, is soos 'n huis sonder 'n stoep.
agree with philip. silverbacks are decently specced for the price. friend of mine bought a nebraska some 2 months ago and its a very nice bike. good luck with the hunt!
This is truly sad. condolences to the family. however, to blame it on the vehicle is a bit of a long shot don't you think? Driving after a 24 hour mtb marathon is hardly a good idea... concentration levels and reaction times are down by a lot.
same here. there must be some definite formulas and stuff to support this? the heavier going faster, struggling to think from the top of my head now...
In freefall: E(potential) = mgh. (mass x gravity accelleration constant x height above ground) and E(kinetic) = 0.5 x m x v^2 (0.5 x mass x velocity squared) thus from the conservation of energy law = Ep must equal Ek thus mgh = 0.5mv^2 so this cancels the mass and you get to v = sqaure root(2xgxh) Thus in freefall, mass of an object plays no part...
I've got the same carrier. Driven from CapeTown to Joburg and back with 3 bikes on it. All swaying etc. No problems whatsoever. Although I didnt like the sway. Pull it tight with bungi chords. Had 4 bikes on it all the way to TB, 2 times already, been through the hell etc. Don't mind the sway, just fit something between the bikes to prevent transport damage. It really holds fast.
