parafin is best for gears been using it for a decade....sunlight and warm water didn't work for the sticky clay i'm riding in .

I've always used clean green and other stuff for my road bikes over the years ..but now , new to Mtb....the mudd and clay...sticks even after a wash. Any advice?

I must say the Stan's look fast, I will try a pair in the future if their not crazy expensive.

I prefer to build my own wheels, the guys at the shops they don't always do the job right , due to time constrains .

Conti's are nice but wayy overpriced in my opinion.

mmmm.... I think for 140 bucks a tire.... kenda small block 8 must be the winner then, pity about the quick wearing tread, guess I'll be running the sb8 at the front and something else at the back

I need advice on fast non tubeless tires, what's the fastest for xc.... for mostly hard gravel racing. I used kenda nevada something during my first race and I couldn't get away haha

MTB or road?

progold prolink.....cause.....their users are the happiest!

where do you guys get the time to write these...text book thick responses...... Just go buy some shimano or mavic wheels......their all just as fast as what your legs are hehe JPW#2008-09-06 12:01:13

getting a second hand cannondale is good advice. They seem to make the best quality bikes. I know of only 2 handmade brands....the other is rocky mountain.

the newlands sport science centre , if you want the best...get prof green from Canada he did my bike set-up, not sure if he's still there tho

If depends if you wanna go fast or....comfy ..fizik is the most comfy but very slow....you get saddle bounce

Go with 53 / 39 gives you a nice range

Andrag bunch....the good old 90s

I put the green wax on my chain......super stuff@ wel's the best!

cannondale is the best I own a couple of bikes Giant - Gt - Scott are the best value in my books

My advice is , don't commute with a bicycle or motorbike in this country. Not worth losing your life....it's not if but when.... (someone in car/ taxi wont see you.

YES we're ripped off! Argus.... 250 rand plus to ride... just a fun run.......5 odd rand hehe....

I'd rather go for the LX than the Truvative, let alone the XT If ur in doubt ask.... the experts at.... mtbr.com

yip RS best value for money.

300 hours on a Reba...... no problems mtbr.com

What would the conversion entail and benefits be? Getting a bike (hopefully today!!!) with a Recon 351 on it. benefits, will be upgrading to duel air. If you live in CT, I know a shop who does the conversions in milnerton. 351... super value for money, 1 of my bikes a Avalance pro has the same shock.

If you buy a rockshock recon you could upgrade it to a reba at min...cost ! I'm sure you all knew that right!
