  1. Lately I have seen a lot of "*Price Drop*" adds on the classifieds. I also buy and sell quite a lot and find it more difficult than a few years ago to get buyers. It really seems as if South Africans are in a bit of a squeeze (the classifieds is obviously not a very good representation of the average SA consumer). Would really like to see the results on a poll, so vote!
  2. I actually like the mechanical side of cycling. Otherwise we can all be riding electric motored Di2 dual brain suspension and a dropper post going down when you start to stand. Sort of like coffee machines where you still have to push some knobs, turn a lever, clunk the coffee handle into the machine to get the coffee. Makes me feel like a man Edit should probably be quoting the other guy.
  3. Jis those Deore M596's kook
  4. Benat myself as ek so fiets kry
  5. Gets better on your first ride out I would believe
  6. Ahhh. Flip that's a good looking bike.
  7. Welcome to the OCD club !
  8. Jys maar met min tevrede
  9. Pics taken with something other than a potato please..?
  10. Lots of tire threads already but here's my input. Reliability and longevity but heavyish: crossmark rear, ikon front Expensive, lightish and reliable but not as long lasting: racing Ralph snakeskin front and rear My favourite combo: racing Ralph snakeskin front and non snakeskin rear both 2.25 Light, cheap, reliable enough but not as long lasting. All those combos have enough grip for xc style riding.
  11. Jaaa
  12. Check out this Bad Girl *unfortunately not mine*
  13. Wanna upgrade to my corolla and I take your A4?

    Ja but your an animal. Volume of 2.25 racing Ralph's are perfect for our conditions. Would like something fat on a rigid though.

    Good for comfort and usually grip, not good for weight and acceleration.

    Also if you running 1x10 you will struggle more on a bigger tire. Maybe not much but it will be noticeable.
  17. American classic on ztr crest. No issues thus far.
  18. Called a crown race. Yes. Seperate.
  19. What do you have now? Would upgrade my shifters to something like XTR or XX/X0 (depending on which you prefer). Get the clutch type RD. Brakes to shimano (keep them if you already have shimano). Get some ice-tech rotors. Would much rather spend money on nice wheels and a carbon handlebar than upgrading a complete groupset. SLX groupo with the clutch system is everything and more 95% of riders need.
