Good thing I already have tickets then

I'll take some pics when I go up there over Christmas...

Tire liners are simply that - liners for the inside of tires, to help prevent thorns & glass from coming into contact with teh tube, even when piercing the tire itself. They're a strip of silicone - like tape that you put in the inside wall of the tire before you put the tube in. It forms a protective layer between the tube and the tire itself. Cheap & efficient. Also consider getting some Sludge to put into the tubes just in case a super sharp super long thorn gets embedded in there. When you pull out the thorn, the sludge will seal the hole (size dependent, of course) and you can continue riding

Dude, I like boobs as much as the next guy (in fact even more so) but those are just hoooooooge.

Yippie Kai Yea!

That's a lovely watch, dmd

100%

100%

Skills, bro. Skills

Haha! That'd be one good reason to get one ;-P

yeah, totally... But all these deals are probably below their cost price in the first place...

Do you think they may just want to shift stock and get customers onto the site? No. Never. Plus, probably below their cost. Loss leader, in other words. Much like the Selle Italia I just bought....

Move to Cape Town!

Booked!

Booking!

I've got Elixir 5's. I'm 105kg. I have a 22kg DH bike. They stop me fine!

That's an awesome watch, Dangle.

reminds me of my escapades on a skateboard... I was trying to impress some girls by going down a hill on the board on my belly (I was 4 or 5 at the time) and I didn't have a place to stop... until I spied the pavement. Skateboard stopped, I didn't.

Nice one!!!

Okay - RAW's major advantage is that it is essentially a digital negative, and thus immensely tuneable. A JPG, unfortunately, is not. A JPEG is essentially a compressed image file. In the compression of the image, a fair amount of the information that the camera captures is lost, and the pic comes out as a sub-standard finished product whne being compared to an edited RAW image. As for the flatness of the RAW, that does happen most times. With the RAW images, you can play around with the lighting (exposure) on many different levels, and you can fine tune it to your exact specifications and it will never lose the quality that it has at its basest form. In fact, it is pretty much guaranteed that you WILL have to tweak a RAW image to get the exact specifications that you want. It is literally like processing a negative in a dark room, in the days of film. You have to have a look at the negative, determine how much time it needs in the solution, how long it needs to be "exposed" for, what lighting characteristics you want to give it etc. A JPEG, on the other hand, comes out pre-processed, and is therefore not as tuneable as the RAW format. The camera's on-board processors "edit" the raw image (as the camera sees it) to settings that the camera thinks are correct for the conditions. While this is getting increasingly accurate ito the camera guessing the right settings for the picture, the RAW image, and the available tweaking that you get with a RAW image, will always be superior. If you want to be able to just snap & upload, then RAW isn't for you. If, on the other hand, you want to get to know the camera's settings, and what light settings to use, how long to expose the shot for, how much aperture to use and what ISO to set it at, as well as to work out all the different things that can be done to a photo to get it to your exact specs, then RAW is for you. Another thing is that you can quite easily "save" a bad RAW shot. It's very hard to do the same to a JPEG. Oh - and there's no way you can edit a JPEG in RAW format. It only goes one way, and that's from RAW to JPEG. Cannot be done the other way.

They should be able to sort you out with a warranty replacement. The problem might be in that the agent for the shock itself is trying to slow things down for some reason. Ask who it has been sent to, and then phone them up every day until something has been done about it. Failing that, approach Dunkeld themselves and demand a loan bike, seeing as yours is in for warranty repairs and they don't seem to be holding up their end of the bargain. YOu might not get a loan bike, but then again, you'll never know if you don't try.
