  1. Howzit guys, Not sure if I've put this in the right place, if not could someone from admin please move it to the relevant forum. I'm looking at buying a bike in East London, but I'm situated in KZN, so was wondering if there was anyone in the area there that would be so kind as to check if the bike actually exists and to help me get the deal to go through smoothly, not taking anything away from the seller, he actually seems like a really nice guy, just don't know how else to go about this. If anyone can give me a hand here I would really appreciate it. Regards Dyls,
  2. Thank you very much for the effort Gen, I really appreciate it
  3. Hello everyone, I was just wondering if there was a ladies MTB group ride around Hillcrest area, Im looking for a group my wife could join. At the moment with our little daughter we cant cycle together, I dont mind cycling alone but I wont let her go unless she's in a group. Anyone know of anything, beginner to intermediate level? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  4. I had the same problem, ended up having to swap out the chain rings and cassette. The chain rings and cassette pick up memory from your old chain so even though it doesn't look worn its worn to the shape of your old stretched chain.
  5. Shite!!! Glad you ok dude! I ride there almost every friday afternoon and alone to! Im usually going in the opposite direction so moving a bit faster but I wont be heading there again!

  7. He was found in the plantations at about 1am, his wife says he is ok and recovering at the medi clinic. Glad he is ok, he is a really nice guy!

    Make sure you cross the line with me, I call the wife from the top of sunrise hill and she waits on the finish straight with a beer
  12. Depends on the bike you putting it on, but a few things you need to check are... For the Forks 1) steerer type (straight or tapered) 2)Thru axle or Quick release 3) travel (how much you want vs how much is recommended for your frame) 4) If you buying second hand double check what length the steerer has been cut to to make sure it will work for you. For the rear shock 1) eye to eye length 2) stroke/travel length Some of the more clued up guys here may have some more in put but thats all I can think of for now. as for the lockout each shock/fork is specific to their own, best to google the one you are looking at.
