Thanks guys - seems like I will be asking for proper tubeless tyres for my birthday! Will wear the Ralph's out with tubes till then!

so is it worth wile taking a chance if I carry a spare tube, the tyres are basically brand new, done 60km, would hate to replace them now with tubeless tyres??? R 1500 as opposed to R 500?

Hi Guys, I have Schwalbe racing ralphs - the performance line on my bike with alex rims, will I be able to do a tubeless conversion on these? Thanks

Hi Guys, Need some advice on washing my bike. Where am I allowed to use the hose pipe to sray / rinse and where not? I use the normal hose pipe fitting that you can close/adjust to give a fine / wide spray or a narrow / strong stream of water - is this too much pressure, could I danmage bearings etc? How do I lube the bike again after each wash and what do I use? I have a full suspension carbon bike. Thank you.

Anyone?

Sorry - did not mean to hijack the post - elite cyclists, please step in. The Break has given me some very sound advice on various topics, let us pitch in and convert him to a champion MTB'er

Still feel you should try all the various disciplines, I have access to a pretty decent carbon dual suspension bike, might be a ball hair too big but we can remedy that with the set up, come take it for a spin - you need to ride the different bikes and see what works and where you feel most comfi!

Hi The Break, maybe I can help a little here as I have done soooooooooo much research and you have helped me so much! Lets start with how tall are you?

Take it to Epic sports - awesome service! Depends on where and how you ride and if you lube the bike after a wash etc. They are in Jean ave, cnr lenchen - there is a Spar and Dros in the same centre. Their prices very good as well!

After the Stormers did what?

Hi Guys, Is it possible to convert the above fork to remote lock out? Thanks Martin

Hi there, Sorry for replying to such an old post - I am looking at buying this exact same frame and fork and building the bike up with my Scott aspect 10 components. I do all the local races, 40km and enjoy technical riding as well - could you recommend this bike? I ak a little concerned about the weight over long distances? Thank you - and sorry about your bike!!!!

Thanks for all the advice!

Hi There, Have a look at my bike for sale - scott aspect 10 - awesome ride will do good deal, wanting to sell urgently as I want to upgrade - this is a great starter bike!

Ok, so how about I buy a second hand Giant VT2 frame (2005) with 3 way swinger shock and manitou minute fork and build it up with the Scotts components, will that be a cool bike? I ride XS as well as groenies and rosemary hill

So between not wanting to rip some oke a new one and the new naainer craze- i am getting naaai?????? here? eish - cant believe!!Is there no one building up a 26" looking for some spares????

Sorry - it s a large

Hi There, I have an almost brand new Scott aspect 10 2012 - done 400km, ridden by a rookie, so not ridden hard. I have tried to sell the complete bike, went as low as R 6500 - no takers, must be winter! Pls could someone advise on how to break down the bike, which components to sell together and more or less what to charge. attached all the specs. PS -I do not want to rip some guy a new one, but would like to recover 85% of the R 7200 I paid.

Can get a new frame at a very good price.

Ok , so my question is two fold - Firstly I am looking at buying a Giant trance X frame and wouod like to complete the bike with all the components from my 2012 Scott Aspect 10. Will all the components fit? (the Giant frame comes with rear shock but no fork) The Aspect's components in a nut shell - Rock shox recon silver air fork, fr dr deore rear dr XT deore shifters, scott hubs, seatpost and handle bars. And is the Giant trance x a good frame?

Hey Klint, the guy is thanking you - not complaining!

Thanks to all - looks like i'll be giving this some serious thought!
