  1. Uncle ben it would help if you got more riders in the frame hehehe just kidding keep them rolling
  2. 10th out of 12. ruan du toit was third. summit' date=' she had a storming second lap passing about 7 riders, but the astrian girl elisabeth osl set a blistering pace up front. she did, howeever, finish very strong. good support for the locals here! gotta dash, guys. men are out on course. missed all the argy bargy at the start.[/quote'] wonder what happened to him and holy how can you miss the start thats shocking!!!!!!
  3. a very respectable 21st. good ride for her. Fantastic' date=' well done Yolande.[/quote']
  4. Holy how did Shaun nick bester Do??????????
  5. well i quite like it very unique and definitely would make a statement!!!
  6. Apparently it was magenta but lets not get into that arguement right now i dont actually know the difference anyways
  7. As the saying goes you get what you pay for!!! unfortunately at the epic you cant skimp on costs and that is why when i quoted a guy R400 a day for him and his partner for me to be thier mechanic and he said it was too expensive i laughed at him and told him that he will end up paying more than that in the end. i got a call from the guy this morning asking me to fix the mess the epic mechanics made and also got a very big apology saying that he should have taken my advice but yea life goes on and pity most people learn the hard way!!
  8. Mandibles said it before and you proved it again YOU RoCK Girl!!!! Holy you Chop!!!!
  9. THats a good mix to have you wont have any problems The problems come in when you try to run shimano rear derailers with Sram shifters and vice versa!!
  10. You not keeping my Girlfriend and i away this time!!!! So count me in and Ciara as well!!! turtlek2009-03-29 03:59:13
  11. Faster times but just as many war stories because of people wishing they did more training!!!
  12. Dude i just dont like it when a good bunch of people that look after clients are taken for a ride without them knowing about it and the worst part of this whole situation is that the guy complaining is a little junior that has his daddy paying for everything he owns including a bike that i could only wish to own and yet they drag it through the dirt and then complain when it gets broken due to thier negligence!!! Harry1 and jono when i am back in cape town i will come show you what a manufacturing default is and i promise you it has nothing to do with the bikes you riding it will be to do with the legs attempting to ride those bikes!!!turtlek2009-03-27 15:16:49
  13. Why dont you go onto your other thread and make amends to the false accusation that you made due to your abuse on the frame that you cracked!!!! dude you really need to learn how to change gears properly if your chain gets thrown off at the position tha tyour frame was cracked because not even fabian cancellara will break a frame in the spot where yours did if it was a manufacturing default!!! so make sure that your case is rock solid before you start making false accusations against a company that had all it's bases covered!!!
  14. ? Another ?rocket science filled statement ? So Harry1 now we know why you did not post a picture ? ? Jono photographic evidence shows that this is rider abuse and misuse a classic example of it's daddy's money so i dont care well done on making yourself look like a twat in harry's defence!!!
  15. STM stop being DOF Bru i ride a 14kg hardtail i weigh 56kg(new Record seeing as i have been struggling to lose weight and i am not exactly that small) and i still finish in the top 5 percent of the field so instead of sounding like an idiot rather just ride that bike a bit more (in other words train) and i promise you that 200grams wont make a difference in a few months when you doing well!!!!
  16. a case of more money than brains?most likely a Z group rider anyways... couldnt agree more fand but from what i hear harry actually races quite often as a junior... Nuf said!
  17. That is unfortunately not a very positive outlook on you harry Who sets your gears and how much longer did you grate your chain against the frame till you decided your derailer was not going to pick it back up onto the chainrings?????
  18. kieth in all honesty i didnt weigh the shock before and after i did it so i cant tell you
  19. much better that way actually and couldnt agree with you more!!
  20. ya that might be dodgy but seeing as i have also heard a lot of good things about spamela in the past couple of hours maybe he is not as dodgy as originally thought
  21. kieth thats a great buy but what aboutthe one on here for R3500 i saw earlier
  22. good plan i would need a recon shock to be able to do it so i can put it up step by step with pictures unfotunately i only have a sid WC and a tora so if anybody would like me to service thier recon and upgrade it i will not charge labour and it will only cost you the parts that we would need to do it and a box of smarties to keep yourself busy while watching
  23. parabola check your pm
  24. kieth it is relatively cheap and easy to do as well so let me know if you want/need some help
  25. Kieth upgrade the internals on that fork to the reba internals and effectively you will have a reba fork i have done it to my buddies reba and it is as smooth as any reba off the shelf
