Definately a 17.5" or 18". Medium in some ranges. Smaller frame = better handling. (and lighter is an added bonus)

Why do you have the 24" wheel on the back? Surely you should have it on the front that way you are always going downhill and will be faster?

Please excuse my ignorance and i am sure i do know the answer to this but what is UST? I googled it and the definition there is Unresolved Sexual Tension. Assuming that is not what is being refered to here.

That is crazy. So realistically I am looking at R2,000.00 for new tyres with a conversion? Madness.

What sort of price are we talking? Any idea what a Stans coversion kit will cost?

I ride a hardtail with a 80mm travel bomber fork.

I have seen this topic on the hub before but i cannot find it. Does anybody ride and recommend the Mountain Kings. I need to replace my tyres and have no clue what to go for. Not running tubeless. Old school tubes and liners. Mostly trail riding. The spruit, NF, occasional race (Barberton, Forest2Falls etc) What other options would be recomended? Thanks.

If anybody cares enought to read the whole thing. http://www.rotorbikeusa.com/pdf/More%20information_Q%20Rings.pdf

Don't worry about skill' date=' I have next to none and I'm going! [/quote'] Not worried at all. will be great fun. Some inspiration for sunday... http://www.trials-online.com/the-videos.php

Sounds great. Lets see if i can get all the dust off my bike in time to come have a go. I am not the talented rider you speak of but it sounds like fun.

There you go Punt. Just find a really good plastic surgeon and you are in with a chance. ..........really good.

I like the idea of the Solis. full carbon is appealing. Does anybody here ride one?

Looks like the Bianchi wins quite convincingly.

Any chance you can justify your vote?

Sorry, Ian is meant to read" I can".

Ian get either of these for about the same price. What do you guys recommend?

i was there yesterday too. 4 of us rode from alberton, did the loop and then headed home via the circus for a well deserved coke. 110km in total. wind in the reserve was a shocker but the tail wind back to the circus was a pleasure.

Just f---ing stupid.

Thanks for the advice, will work on getting myself fast in the mean time and keep eyes and ears open for upgrades.
