CRC... Still able to buy 26" rims from them... That is all I came here to say

Will you guys be at Jonkers tomorrow (Sunday 28th Dec) as well? Or was it only today?

Sounds like the cable tension is out. Try playing with the barrel adjuster on the shifter

First trek to come out with their "full floater" floating shock was in 2007: http://dirtragmag.com/2008-trek-fuel-ex-sneak-peek/ If I understand correctly Pyga has been around since 2012 only. Wouldn't mind either one of the two, but the new Remedy 29 9.9 takes the cake: http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/11059311/?s6

I had an interesting conversation with the coffee shop owner last year around the time that the scott bikes had arrived: From what I could gather and remember from then was that he approached Specialized for possibly supplying rental bikes, but this was unsuccessful, due to a deal Spez already had going on with Ride Inn. Hence the bikes being supplied by Scott. Now this is only a partial side of maybe another story, but I don't think this is a case of one bike brand spiting another ... And this just occurred to me... Has anyone thought about the possibility this being a turf war between two coffee shops? And what are possible the ties between the OP and one of these coffee shops... Just throwing it out there...

So let's see... I rode there yesterday afternoon... Canaries: seemed fine on the way up. "New" sections above canaries (new canaries, upper upper upper canaries, stumpjumper) or whatever their names are: has one or 2 extra exposed rock sections, but nothing serious if not taken at a scary pace. breaking bumps into corners felt better than when I last rode there. Old dh track from below the double black diamond trail: Best condition I've seem this trail since i started riding there Flowtrail/slangpad: Damn good condition New work done recently (withheld maintenance? where? Firehuttrail: Good trail no matter how rocky and breaking bumps there are no real berms that can be destroyed also recently had maintenance done Neverending story: No comment... haven't ridden that in a while So which trails have potential for closure due to poor maintenance/safety concerns?

Most likely bullsh*t... but I would like to see you try and close these trails... been a while since I bashed someone's skull in with my rear wheel

Always been wondering about these: http://www.enduroforkseals.com/id275.html Maybe solve the last source of "stiction" on the bike?

Perfection!

Ag man don't worry about it... had plenty of them on me after riding at g-spot and jonkers. Just keep a check on your health and seek medical advice as soon as you start feeling really bad flu-like effects and/or bad stomach issues, but unlikely that you will get any of that in the cape. Best thing is to constantly check youreslf while riding and get them off before they settle as braailegend suggested

How about some Jonkershoek singletrack?

Sounds like those same people who ask if the brakes you're selling are for 26" or 29ers

Hahaha. I can recognize that as somerset west/stellenbosch area mud. My bike looked similar to that after a week's riding in Jonkershoek after the recent rain. Berms were mistaken for dams

Think these might help: http://forums.mtbr.com/shocks-suspension/forks-complete-axle-crown-lengths-library-470024.html http://www.pinkbike.com/forum/listcomments/?threadid=78006 20 mm decrease from 120 to 100 in Axle to Crown length will only increase your bike's head angle by one degree. 0 degrees being completely parallel with the ground and 90 degrees bieng completely vertical. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bicycle_dimensions.svg. I think the GT Sensor has a head angle of about 69.5 degrees, so putting a 100 mm fork on will increase it to about 70 degrees more or less. This is still normal XC-bike geometry

It's not about the size of the wheels on the bike... but the balls on the rider
