Would you also suggest that this rule applies to speed fines? Speeding do cause deaths of innocent people, you know...

DG will be turning 37 in 3 months. So a 2 year ban might just sink him as a professional cyclist anyway.

Buy the M540's. They are the same as the XT's and costs less.

I do not have experience with the Schwalbe tires. But I did the Pioneer trek on Maxxis Icons without any problems.

I cannot recommend the DT 370 hubs. I don't know if they are better now, but I had a set a few years ago. It had a stupid kind of roller bearing in the freehub. This is difficult to get and does not last long.

I agree. Lots and lots of technical hoo ha. Makes it sound as if training is some kind of dark art. All kinds of important sounding words like "fartlek". It would not be clever to even THINK of HIT for somebody who wants to ride his first Epic in 2013. It is not even middle Nov yet. One thing to consider is that HIT will only help you if you have already done your miles. You cannot substitute TITS with HIT. So to stick to the topic and not go , HIT is NOT where where you should be now. You should be on your bike. Help okes with practical tips. Like ride with the heavier wheels, seatpost and bar the bike came with. Also consider tubes and tire liners to increase the weight of your bike if you do not have hills to train. Always ride with 2 full waterbottles. Even if you only go for a 1 hour ride. The more you suffer now with your LIT, the easier it would be during the race with a lighter bike. (the weight weenies will not like this) DO NOT overtrain your athletes. DO NOT make them gatvol at this stage. DO NOT demotivate a rookie at this stage. Most of the okes I know did the Epic with TITS. HIT in Feb. And MOTIVATION. Nothing more.

Hmmm. Well, if you ask your doctor if he has done the procedure he is about to do on you before and he answers with THAT kind of answer, would it inspire confidence?

Already started the carbo loading

You are aware that Bruce did not live very long after that.

Your opinion. I also did it and had the exact opposite experience. What bothers me is the fact that you know what dog food tastes like.

http://forums.mtbr.com/wheels-tires/tire-pressure-spoke-tension-777704.html A more valid point than what bergbok makes is that the ust bead on tires are tighter than on other TL ready tires. Notably Crossmark ust's. These tight beads might detension spokes on very light rims like Crests. The Icons are not that tight

So why do you ride the heavier version of the CREST rims in white? Note that the black ones are lighter. http://www.notubes.com/Crest-Rims-C54.aspx My Icons weigh 600, 605, 603 and 606 grams apiece.

Please elaborate

Ek het laasweek op die pad tussen Jhb en Potch in 'n lang tou motorvoertuie gery (In my bakkie). 'n Vriendelike Discovery eienaar het LINKS op die grond langs die pad verbygejaag om twee voertuie voor my in te druk. In die proses het die entoesias se voertuig 'n klip op my voorruit gegooi. Ek moet dit more laat vervang. Hoe lyk dit as jy as mede Discovery eienaar vir my die bybetaling aanstuur? Dan kan ons almal sien dat jy eintlik 'n goeie ou is.

You can buy from Johan Bornman.

I have a 2X10 on my bike. BUT I replaced it with a 3 blade crank for the Cape Pioneer trek. And to top it of I replaced the 24 ring with a 22... Now I have a 22-36 ratio on the 29er. I don't know lots of guys who would prefer less gears on the Mamba switchback at Sabie. And yes. I miss my Grandma as well.

I think you should wash it pronto after use. If blood dries in all those little holes, you will have to use your Karcher to clean it.

My 29er Reba (9mm qr) tapered with remote lock out weighs 1,616 kg

The Sykes for sale?

Can't you see why oom 'Tice picked next year? He has already chickened out, since the end of the world is due. 21 Dec 2012 (speaking Mayan of course. ) So now you see where the heavy wording of his posts come from. It's Mayan.

You are so funny. Somebody said that this thread should be deleted. I do not agree. Some people dig their own graves.

No power? In what way? If you pull the levers, does it go all the way to the handlebar? Or does the travel seem normal? If this is the case, they probably spilled some oil on the rotors/pads.

My last order I used DHL. The order was R2680. DHL cost R200. When the order got to Jhb, SARS added another R430. (No clothes. Just seatposts, brake pads and drivetrain stuff. After seeing the delay at Jhb SARS, I contacted DHL via email. They sent me their banking details. I had to pay the tax into their account to get them to pay SARS. For their "trouble", they added another R100. DHL handled it very professionally, but just watch out. My R2680 order ended up at R3410. It just goes to show that if you are in a hurry, you do no pay less at CRC. Rather go local.
