TYGA

Great ride & great report Dane! Makes one want to tackle the old OV24 again.

​Everyone still happy with these Lyne posts in terms of reliability and wear? Been through a couple of Giant posts and have started viewing them as consumable items.

I can't "like" this post enough!

Aaahhhh ok makes sense now, must say I really like the HDR green! Ya you never need an excuse to tinker....many a happy hour spent in the garage randomly swapping out bike parts or fixing things that were never broken in the first place.

I've looked at getting one of those covers and to be honest the FD mount does not bother me at all. I would however love to see a pic of that green 110 of yours...I really like that colour! Was that a custom job?

This pretty much sums it up

Loved my 110....fantastic bikes. I hate to tell you this though....that Project is not complete until you've blacked out those cranks...

I have to agree with this. I had a warrantee issue with a product, called Pierre at Hullabaloo, sent him a mail with a picture on Monday and received a replacement via Courier earlier today no questions asked. What a pleasure....thanks Pierre!

<<<SOLD>>> I am selling the FOX Talas off my Pascoe if anyone is looking for a fork for their build. Will knock R1000 of my asking price and take 6K from anyone buying a Pascoe frame off Bibi. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/127660-fox-36-talas-140-180-rc2/

Not sure who did the original build but I bought her off a dude in Franschoek...I think he bought the frame from Outdoor Escape to replace an IBIS he had cracked "just riding along..." Anyway gents it's off to bed for me, up at 4AM to catch the first flight to Jozi to go earn some bike tokens. Looking forward to Friday...will post pics.

Yup it's Bibi's fault he gave me a spin on his in the Jonkers parking lot, the itch kicked in and it was downhill from there. I was just lucky the timing worked out with selling my 110. The bike is waiting for me in Stellenbosch and I'm gonna be stuck in Joburg for the next three days....feel like a kid counting the sleeps till Christmas!

That there MRP 160 on Bibi's Pascoe is still the smoothest fork I have ever had the pleasure of trying. WANT WANT WANT!

Any day of the week. And weekend.

Holdfast makes them, contact the reps off the website or ask one of the dealers to order for you.

If it was an emergency or what qualifies as a PMB condition your medical aid has to cover the full amount by law. If it's an elective surgery IE you had the chance to "shop around" they're unlikely to cover more than prescribed rates. Fedhealth wanted to pay around 30 of the 130k bill when I destroyed my ankle but I got the whole amount paid out in the end. Talk to the surgeon re how to go about it.

Ditto for my 150mm Heckler vs Pyga 110

I had a similar hub on my On One, it was a hack to try and get replacement screw on cogs in any size larger than 18 and with the torque you put through that cog on a SS you end up winding them on so tight it was near impossible to get them off again. On the flatlands you should be OK but in the Cape it didn't work for me.

Any of you guru's stock or know where to get matchmakers for running the new XT brakes with SRAM X9 shifters? I see "http://problemsolversbike.com/" has some but would like to get some locally if possible.

You know who to contact when that fork needs a new home! Bike looks great Ryan...almost ready to break my Niner out of hibernation and get cracking on a bit of a make-over

Once word gets out that one or two have been made an example of the rest will quickly sharpen up.

These bikes are so much more than light. They could be, be that's not what you get them for.

I picked up an old Venter trailer off Scamtree for R4000.00....6 foot trailer with nosecone, spent another R1200 on replacing a hub, bearings, one tyre....should have known better than to buy the thing unseen but I live in the Cape and needed something to leave in KZN for holidays to the Wild Coast. At the time I did not even look into wheel size etc so it's one of the older trailers with the 10" wheels. Anyway I recently added the aluminium rack as per the pictures below and two Holdfast bike fork clamps, one being thru-axle and 1 QR. The downside of these Holdfast fork clamps is you need to stash the front wheels separately so unless you get the racks for the wheels as well it's a bit of a pain. I left the space in the middle for my kayak but you could easily add two to three more bikes to the rack if need be. It is rock solid and sturdy, even with a 30KG plastic boat on top and is light to tow. I would have preferred 13" wheels as per the new Venter trailers but too late to cry about it now and the trailer has proven to be tough travelling rough gravel and so far no problems yet. Best thing is it cost very little and being old I do not worry about it getting scratched, dinged, used on gravel, lending it to mates or leaving it outside. Trailers are weird things...I never thought I would want one, but now I do have it I don't know how I managed without it.PM me if you want more info on the rack, it cost a lot less than I thought it would via a retailer in Stellenbosch.

There's a SARS implication for the company in there somewhere.

If it's only for one bike for quick jaunts to wherever you are riding the Thule express works well.....I often use it if I want to load up for a quick after work ride or if we're only taking one bike away for the weekend. It is easy to use, quick to fit, light, takes up no space and is pretty cheap. For anything more than one bike or just around town the platform is the only way to go. Ideally you need both....if you can only buy one the platform rocks.
