  1. One inner one outer... At least that's what the SRAM guide shows.
  2. Okay - fully depress the back suspension (remove all air from the shock and depress the bike fully) and then put the chain over the biggest gear both sides (just at the back for you) Then - just a 2 link overlap, with the cage at max forward extension. This will ensure that no matter what position your rear suspension is at, the chain will have enough room...
  3. Yep. People go where the trails are. That a lot of peoples favourite trails were lost is probably the main reason for the drop in numbers. But the trails are coming, albeit slowly.
  4. Yeah. There is less trail, due to logging and all that has done (wiping out the snakeys, basically) but there are plans in place to revitalize and reroute old trails, which will remedy the problem. Unfortunately, given that we are working with sanparks, these things take time. As for the trail itself, there have been mixed reports. Some love it, some don't. Yet it is still a work in progress.
  5. Thanks Deon. I look forward to getting back into the trails ASAP. Lots of potential there and we need to get trail back on the mountain. Fun trail
  6. Duane, as I told you on Saturday. It is school holidays and the majority of riders were most probably away with family (like myself, Deon and many others) As for the flow. The trail is not yet complete. Give it time. And it will be appreciated if you do not try to derail the process at every turn.
  7. Btw. I used to have an 80mm travel 26" ht bike. Changed it to 120mm then 150mm as soon as I could as for me, MTB starts when the travel goes over 120mm
  8. Ooooohsah, little grasshopper. I said PERSONALLY. If you ride jeep track and jeep track only then that is hardly mountain biking. Known as being a dirt roadie. If you ride single track mixed with jeep track then yeah. MTB all the way. Hush don't try and bit pick with me. You WILL come off second best.
  9. Oh fk. I'm an enabler. Personally. Anything under 120mm suspension is NOT an MTB.
  10. Booya - in town,Marco or Devon at Action Cycles in Bree Street Milnerton - Cycle Factory (actually montague gardens but still) Both VERY good shops. Personal service from proper riders and mechs.

  12. Vs the new one, which is now a legitimate full susser. http://www.infinitecycles.com/wp/uploads/media/2011/12/Photo-Dec-07-5-56-26-PM-w1600-h1600.jpg

  15. Maybe Naas at Evo. If he doesn't have then I'm afraid not.
  16. Read my precious post re lotus being underpowered. Was the wrong word to use, but still relevant. Even though the lotus has the same engine, the RB mechanics know more about it and will have a different level of tune or different mapping protocol than the Lotus. So in conjunction with the different aero package (which makes a huge difference) AND Vettel's brilliance on the track they have the clear domination. Raikonnen's performance had been just as good in a car that doesn't have as good an aero package, yet is better on its tires than the RB. A more accurate picture would be to compare Webber to Vettel to see the difference the driver makes to racing.
  17. No. It's about a managers *** demeanour, and how he handled a simple situation so horribly incorrectly.
  18. This... https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/131515-rant-cwc-green-point/page__st__48#entry2077594
  19. yeah but it was much more personal - at the V Festival in the UK... Placebo, The Darkness, Blink & Linkin Park all in one afternoon. One after the other.
  20. Yeah, PAK - I was a bit over-enthusiastic wrt your post (post-edit) and for that I apologise. I suppose it's an indication of the way I'm currently viewing commentary all over cyberspace (here, N24, IOL, MyBB etc) in that people do not READ. They just pick apart a section of a post, or ignore something intrinsic to the problem, with no thought on how they sound. Your amended post (with the inclusion of the last sentence) changed a lot, and I did not remove you from the portion of my post that included you as part of the target of my "please read before douchebagging yourself" tirade... That was an error on my part. Otherwise - no harm meant. To you... After your post was clarified & amended EDIT: What I'm trying to say here - I'm a douche for including you in the douchebaggery crowd. Hope you understand the reason for my ranty bit a bit more now...
  21. Yeah, but I see that the one I like is closer to the 8k mark, landed, with the layup that I like... Saw it on that other thread before the crash
