  1. Thanks, I've done a wheelset upgrade already and made a big difference in average times and effort level, the fork is next on the list as I still have a Suntour xcm with 100mm travel, the current setup of the bike is just to heavy as well
  2. was also thinking that, would the extra 2k benefit me that much? could rather buy a nice magic shine for the transbaviaans
  3. I was thinking of either SRAM x7 or the slx 10
  4. Hi Guys, please help me with this one, I bought a entry level MTB, Scott aspect frame with 8 speed Accera groupset 2 years ago, since then bug has bitten me and want to upgrade the groupset now, My options are: Front Derailer : SRAM X 7 VS Shimano SLX 10 speed Rear Derailer : SRAM X 9 10 speed VS Shimano SLX 10 speed Crank : SRAM x1000 44-33-22 VS Shimano SLX 42-32-24 Should I just stick to Shimano and go the SLX route the price difference is about 2k more expensive for the Shimano? please give your views and reasons, I am still a very average rider and mostly like to do trail riding with the odd road race and Argus and obviously the karoo2coast tipe of races
  5. Hey danger dassie, since you riding the A10 you are the perfect person to speak to what other brands have you ridden and how do they compare?
  6. i've been looking at the A10 A20 29er and trying to find some detail on the net, but I'm not finding allot, its got a weird kink that is sort off trowing me off, anybody ridden one of them?
  7. OOh Man , one drag at a party celebrating some achievements, it was all it took
  8. I have fallen off the wagon, after a month
  9. how do you sort out smelly farts
  10. just tell yourself how bad it tastes every time you take a drag , you can read Allan Carr easy way to stop smoking
  11. exact same error, hr goes 225 for a while, normally in the beginning of the ride so i just reset it, but need to take it back to check it out, bought mine in Dec
  12. R7 x R30 = R210 saving in one week, not seeing it in my wallet though
  13. day 7 for me now, haven't used any pills, patches or gum, but I must say my apatite has gone up quite even though I am full I still crave something to eat,
  14. Beer, friends and a really frustrating day (4h40 on my MTB with slicks)
  15. day 5 for me, I've been smoking since 94, but have had breaks in between, longest being 9 months last year, started at the Argus this year again, hopefully this time its for good
  16. I went past my max heart rate on very easy hills not ayoba
  17. was the issue not too many people arriving at the same place at the same time rather then a skill problem? I remember doing a race and everyone had to get off at a rocky patch because one dude fell and created that bottle neck, if there weren't so many people one could have slipped passed easily, I think organizers should take this sort of thing into consideration. Its almost like the Argus, can we not create a system like the comrades or two Oceans where one has to qualify to do certain races?
  18. Does withdrawal symptoms impact your riding? had a terrible day in the saddle this morning but hey 72h done!
  19. I also agree on buying a new bike, as he one can easily buy a cat in the bag, what I am saying is go out and test all the 6k bike s you can find and take the one that you feel comfortable on
  20. phew, well Stormers lost, but still haven't smoked, although I wanted to, 48h clean without patches or pills or gum,
