  1. Thanks Leet, nice to know someone feels my pain! That bike is my favoritist thing in the world (after my wife and daughter).
  2. Another Angle: It's a Scott Genius Ltd (with a limp)
  3. We did the back nine at Groenies, over Onion hill etc, and were then doing the front nine on the Fountains side. I was on the wooden bridge next to the fence when I felt my rear wheel rub against the stay, and a metallic jingling noise. I stopped and had a look, and the pic is the result! Completely unspectacular, but if I hadn't stopped, the gnarly rocky bit after the wooden walkway would've been interesting!
  4. Look what I have done to my beautiful baby!
  5. wouldn't mind buying a trisuit off you, should you be amenable? DawieO2009-06-01 11:33:22
  6. Those Y-bikes are the BUSINESS! My daughter loves hers too!
  7. Another drawback, and one or your questions, is that sourcing Lefty hubs is quite difficult. Under correction, I think there are only 3 brands available, Woodman, Mavic ($$$) and the original. You are then also limited by the spoke count etc of these types.
  8. I thought it was the guy's wife............... Not uncommon for older couples to call each other "Mamma" and "Pappa". Function of having raised a couple of kids, changes your household lexicon.
  9. we aim to please.
  10. You mean like "It's the new Trek WSD saddle"?
  11. Now THERE'S an idea! Quid Pro Quo folks!
  12. And there I was holding myself back, but someone had to say it!
  13. Honda Jazz beats all of these hands down for value, quality, safety and price.
  14. Livina is rubbish.
  15. Love the eggbeaters. And a full rebuild kit is only about R150, every 18 - 24 months or so in my experience (yes I ride quite a bit)
  16. Had this conversation at a fair amount of length with Geoff the Aussie and he is firmly of the opinion that if all is set up right, and your pedal stroke has been optimised, float can be zero. Me on the other hand, I have a stroke like someone doing butterfly on a rugby field so LOOOTS of float for me please.
  17. Apparently Thursdays aren't good on TheHub.
  18. Ah yes. Dammit. There goes my wet-dream setup...
  19. Has anyone tried this? Does it work well? In theory it should as the new XTR rear der is 1:1
  20. My Scott Genius LTD had cracks that look exactly like that. sent pics to the (new) distributor, immediate frame replacement.
  21. why the hell do you care? If he can handle the pain and his insecurities at the same time, then let him.
  22. Seriously, spend a bit more on entry-level hydraulic discs.
  23. I agree. I have had nothing but drama and tears with Outsurance and other (mis)direct insurance. I will be calling my broker and apologising on Monday.

    For a bit of entertainment read the Kuota ad in the last issue of Triathlete. Barely english.DawieO2009-04-29 00:40:29

    Oh boy, that is very, very sad. Unfortunately I see it almost everyday. Youngsters come through without basic logic, not to mention math, and then there's the grammar and spelling...
