Just do a search on the Hub for Eagle Canyon - they are not renowned for excellent service. As a matter of fact it could well be the opposite...

Benky - he has the experience without too many races in his legs - thanks Covid!!

May I ask why not online? On Monday morning I ordered a Park Tool pump from Takealot and less than 24 hours later I had it my my grubby paws!! Not bad service!!

Thanks - I see it is there - and it works like a dream.

Still down - pretty poor!!

Just an idea - add a search option to your website. It is a real pain having to scroll through items.

Great initiative.

He must keep a low profile...no answers...

In the case of the Shimano chain I have - writing on the outside of the chain.

Double check that your chain is the right way around before you replace half your drive train looking for a creak. It saves time as well as a big dose of humble pie.

And Axel is investigating yet uncharted portions of Ntsikeni. :-) I thought he would have seen the lights by now, but clearly not.

And Mike is storming. I see the Greaves pair left with him from Ntsikeni - I wonder how long they will last. He is a scary animal on the charge.

And they are off - that's me done for the next "n" days as I am glued to the dots.

RIP Johann - a great man, and mad about the Freedom challenge.

Don't you want to meander off and ruin another thread - this one was doing quite well without you? Or just keep on banging away on one of the others you have already ruined - but I really enjoy the bull dust being dished out here, and don't want it ruined as well.

Astounding achievement - and the weather certainly never played ball!!

Yes, I have used them for a couple of years and very happy with them.

Did you ever get a response - can you share it with us?

Prune juice wouldn't be easier??

Has anybody tried a 29er on Venters bike rack? I have seen it with a 26er and it worked well- I neglected to test it with my bike

Distance, speed (or in my case, lack thereof) - what are you after?

On the weekend my wife was riding along the spruit and spotted two boys riding without helmets. Knowing we had some old ones at home she stopped them and got their details (sounds like a stalker...) and said she would drop the helmets off with them. She then discovered that the helmets were a 'little' old and needed new inners. After phoning a number of the local bike shops and comparing prices she eventually trundled off to Linden. Once she explained what she wanted the inners for, they suggested she throws the old helmets away and produced two new ones for the boys. This was totally unsolicited and she is not a regular customer at all - just a 'stranger' in the shop. It certainly ensures that I will now need to drive a little further and make Linden my LBS - this really was an unselfish act of kindness!! :clap: :thumbup:

What a belter of an event. I don't think I have ever finished an event looking for a pen so I could sign up for the next years event, but I started scratching around while I was still covered in mud and could hardly breath!! The moment those entries become available I will be there.

I read a tweet from Burry a while back - something along the lines of 'if you want to race hard, go for the epic, if you want have fun, go for the camber'.

I have the Camber as mentioned above...but have never ridden the Giant so I am probably seriously biased. The suspension is very good - I have found myself bombing down stupid stuff and afterwards looking back and wondering what I was thinking of - it just gives you that level of confidence...I will update this status from hospital!! For long periods in the saddle I also found it very comfortable - at my pace I often land up doing 3-4 hour rides and I have found that I don't get the shoulder and neck pain I used to...old age isn't nice (no wisdom and a failing body!!). On the tight stuff I have not noticed any slow down in speed, and on the more open stuff it really is in a league of its own. The hubs work very well - I can 'out coast' guys on bikes that cost substantially more than mine. Acceleration - it is the closest to a hard tail that I have ever experienced. The tyres suck - change them asap. I have had 2 sidewalls go already - new tyres on order. I can't make comparisons, but I can say this is an exceptionally nice bike!!
