  1. Not sure where you can buy them, u can get them from crc...about 13000 bucks for the top rear hub system. I think its a terrible thing knowing how little power you put out compared to guys like LA
  2. Well....the bottom teeth looks like a raggatooths sharks teeth. And the top ones are as smooth as a baby's bottom . New rings were needed about 1000km ago.
  3. Well, its kinda common ( for details mtbr.com) I've just ordered a few .3.3s from crc....the other day, nice cranks...Shimano just overpriced! Locktite is a great idea.
  4. 20kg's phew thats alot of pies! haha...umm... Long hours in the saddle will do the trick but...who's got the time? I lost 10kg just by eating less..nothing else! ....and...NO CHEESE! stay away from the CHEESE!
  5. Must be hard to train 8 hours a day at he's age...I think he;s the only one he's age who is doing that hours.

    RALEIGH RM 5

    MY RM 5 fits 31.4 and my RM 9.0 27.2 and my RM 3.0 27.2 also.
  7. I liked the fish tank filter bit hehe
  8. All I can say is good luck, seeing that the Freestate forwards gave the Shark forwards (bokke forwards) a hiding last Saturday. GO CHEETAHHHSSS
  9. Cannondale super expensive too! , but then again they will outlast most other cheaper brands.

    RALEIGH RM 5

    It will be the fat one!... 31 point something.
  11. You cant train more and win you have to use the Pharmacy , if you dont have moola for supplements ull never win! haha Sad but true. I remember the days creatin came out and the guys who I raced with had 10 percent more strength the next week and I could understand why!... had to learn the hard way. Well now their learning the hard way....poor kidneys!
  12. It depends who wins on paper its all about science... watts per kg In the real world there's only been 2 freaks of cycling Jan and Lance The rest is a cut below no matter who says what, hehe
  13. I'm also moving to Manitou now, the reason........ $$$$ you can buy them online for much cheaper than the rest. If ur willing to buy at the LBS ull end up paying 5k for a Reba...and im not sure how many gazzilions for a FOX.
  14. Xt should only last 1 Trans Baviaans in the rain, thats 230ks of mud and 6ks of wear and tear.
  15. Thats a hybrid not a Ti,,,, i smell carbon! I ride Airborne
  16. I wouldnt ride a no name carbon frame and...carbon's second hand value is...very very low! I would go Alu, u can pick up raleigh's for 500-1500 rand a frame, and they weigh anything from 1.3-1.8kg a frame, ull have to phone around though to get a nice frame at a decent price.
  17. Just give me the Trek Livestrong pimp my ride bike, Ya-ALL can keep the rest.
  18. I have no idea why people whould want to ride an offroad track bike of the late 30's ..its like joining fausto coppi in world war 1
  19. 2 words...... one prang.
  20. I keep mine the same, and to me....it makes riding more comfy and faster. You really want to sit the same distance from your BB everytime you mount.
  21. There's free websites and a thing called common sense too!
  22. All of the above!
  23. The best would be is to make friends with guys who work on their bikes and NO I have too many of those friends allready! haha
  24. After complaining about my badly worn multitool, this is what Parktool USA had to say "Sorry to hear about the problem. Please send us a postal address and we can send a replacement" All in all good service from one of the best bike toolmakers out there.
