Hahahahaha, nah joh, you are taking it one too far.

Think you missed his hidden message...must be difficult wit mob justice and all that.

Anyone else also like the toilet paper rolling over like a waterfall and randela notes must be placed in wallet from small to big and facing the same way with receipts in the second sleeve.

ahhhh, yeah i'm that guy. Brake cables correct length headset top cap 90 degrees with top tube (mine has writing on) brake pads may not touch the rotors bike must be washed at least once a week Skewers must be angled so that it compliments the frame and mininmizes airflow resistance When done with a ride the rear derailleur must be all the way down, same with front (if I have gears there).

That's good to know. What is she riding?

Thanks, think I should give 90mm a bash.

Large, sorry boet.

And don't forget the end caps must be 100% level.

Have wanted to ask you, how long is your stem? Thinking of going 10-20mm shorter. Currently 100m but feel too stretched out.

You saw the carbon air 9 in the classifieds? As ek maar net geld gehad het

+1, also read that issue. There was a cool emd XS build in mtbr with this issue.

Don't think it's so much a geo thing as a weight and cost thing. On 29ers under R15000 you usually get a bike that weighs much more than a 26er worth 10k. And when you are 1.6m tall you are going to waste your money trying to hop on the 29er bandwagon and think you will enjoy your bike more, or it will be faster. Unless you are Emily Batty with a moer expensive 29er I would much rather capitalize on the cheap components of the 26er market. EDIT: sorry, ryan, no idea why I quoted your reply.

Changing your eating habits has very little to do with motivation. It's a decision you make and have to agree to. If you need motivation to even start eating healthy then you are set up to fail. Make the choice that you want to live a healthy lifestyle and then you just do it. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy desserts though. Eating nothing is also not an option. If you really want to lose weight start eating healthier and get a second sport, something like jogging (the pro's call it running). It takes much less time than cycling and is much better for losing fat.

"upgrading" to a 29er and the tire advice threads are getting really old now.

If I were in your shoes I would keep my 26" scott and upgrade it. How old is it and which components does it have? You are not tall and should benefit from the lighter weight of 26 bikes and wheels and once you ride a 29er with heavy wheels I think you will think twice about your purchase. Get a a nice wheelset and something here and there and then ignore the slow guys on their 29ers cause the sun doesn't shine out of a 29er's arse.

Also looked at importing but with the weak rand everything is cheaper bought locally.

+1, almost got a wet dream about one last night. The blue one turns me on big time. If I had an emd 1x10 and singlespeed ros I would be a very happy chappy.

***off to ride some rolling hills next to vineyards and livestock with with table mountain to be seen here and there***

Haha, nah not possible, but I would sell the dale, then he should have around 40k. That would give you a very sweet ros9 and emd9.

If I had 20k I would build up a niner ros9 and emd9 frame and build the ros9 into a singlespeed and the emd9 as a 1x10 xc machine.
