  1. ...one thing i think most will agree on (and i realise it every time) - once im out there in the mountains on some path/track (or even out on the road) i know why i love it so much....the tough bit is getting there
  2. in times of weakness i find entering races work for me. but depends on your temprement... if i k@k af then i want to train harder and it motivates me, if i do good then i want to do better. of course the you stuff up your knee or something and THEN you get depressed and grumpy good luck
  3. hey, because ride XT i assume you have a centre lock hub with XT rotors?. dont think the avids or gators will be compatable with the hub
  4. light(below 10.2kg), comfort and price you can pick two of the above light and comfort : take a light dual sus comfort and price : take a dual light and price : take a hard tail
  5. my friend also think he is hot....i told him its not cool
  6. where do you aim to finish ? first 5%, first 10%, first 50% or just finish and enjoy the ride ?
  7. dont be rude... only try to help - you dishonest low-lifes with no respect for your fellow humans and that you are going to die first as a result of your weakness as predicted by darwin and the theory of natural selection
  8. just make them light... imo their bikes and range got boring 2008=2009=2010. from what ive heard the 2011 offering seems to be exciting. lets see, maybe ill even trade my scotty in
  9. you are right, doing nothing is not a good idea if you want to win.
  10. (not trying to say more than i write) seeing how conta went up that hill i dont think the attack would have helped much either
  11. thx, that makes sense.
  12. the pretty much look the same but if you shake a floating rotor you hear a rattling sound. the outer and innter bits arent fixed...outer bit "floats" the thing i can never understand - they say its to reduce the heat transfer to the calliper->oil
  13. ... find woman tend to believe me
  14. im just being stupid
  15. if you dont ride it often the carbon becomes brittle and can snap like a toothpick without warning... really
  16. so ? what does your sister say about her new bike, does she like it ?... oh, yours.. congrats!
  17. for example look at mr Bluddy Stander's heart rate at a XC Race here : http://goo.gl/TNFL seldom goes over 180bpm and he is young. when you upper body starts going numb(shoulders particular) the you know you are at you max
  18. DCM Chrome is a mining company that sponsor a local pro cycling team. they ride conondale bikes. the reply was meant to be a joke. btw. good of you to post this. thx
  19. i've had the same effect on a girl once or twice....no one give me R490
  20. not saying this is the problem but... remember to shake the bottle well before putting in the stans and hold it upside down with you finger over the outlet for a couple of seconds. there is little bits that need to go in for the stans to work properly, it usually settles at the bottom of the bottle, so dont just pour it in. other then that... no idea why yours didnt work for a 2mm hole
  21. i can imagine nice vid tough
