  1. Ask the reps for samples, that's why I ultimately went for Rage. Their rep dropped off a heap of samples for me to look at and try out. The S/M/L variations shouldn't affect your price too badly. Remember you'll probably want two jerseys each so you should easily get more than ten in an order. The print probably refers to the number of colours that you want to use. Material, you get the square patterned material and the other, more traditional with small, round holes. I went square because I liked the print quality it offered. The zips refers to whether you want a 1/4, a 3/4 or a full zip as well as whether you want a hidden zip or open. A hidden zip offers a cleaner design as it doesn't break the printing.
  2. You'll have to look for someone without a setup cost. On my list here, I don't have any set up cost shown for Anatomic. Their quote on a run of 10 was around R525 per item (quite an old quote so costs may have changed).
  3. I found guys that could do 10 but the prices really came down when I pushed the quantity up to 30. Turnaround times varied from 3-5 weeks. Set up fees (once off cost) also varied from around R250 to R1500. Rage and Panda had the higher set up fees but if you're planning to do repeat runs it's worth it.
  4. Just received these back from Rage Sports yesterday. Really impressed with the quality. I researched and got quotes from around ten other companies and they seemed to have the best balance between quality and price. Plus the rep, Nicolette, gave excellent service. http://i.imgur.com/xt2jAMQ.jpg
  5. This is why you should wear a full face when you ride The Spruit.
  6. You paid money for Avids. You definitely got ripped off.
  7. Well there goes P's lifelong dream.
  8. Don't ever try a sideways jerk off, you could break a bone.
  9. I've been riding for well over eight months and I can tell you that a bunny hop without cleats is impossible. Yes, you can do a wheelie into a buck jump thing like the pros but you can't do a straight up and down bunny hop with flat pedals unless you use a suspension bike and you set it to be very bouncy. It's actually scientifically impossible. I know it looks like Danny Macaskill does those but if you look closely in his videos you can see that he actually uses velcro on the bottom of his shoes and pedals.
  10. Half the hub just put their carbon 29ers up for sale. They'll be snapped up by the SS guys who want that retro look.
  11. "I've made up my mind about this long before speaking to you and I'm prepared to google for any link that might support my opinion!"
  12. Pump the tube up a lot and rotate it near your ear. If it's a slow puncture do the same thing whilst stretching the tube at the same time. Source: My tubes have more repair patches than original rubber.
  13. This is it. I now feel like I have to look left and right when driving through a green robot if it has only just switched colours. The amount of times I've crossed an intersection just as it's turned green and nearly been t-boned by a car skipping the red has just made it too risky not to check. How about people return to the absolute basics of road rules before jumping on the screaming wagon. i.e., slow down when you see an orange robot, don't try and be that extra car that tries to turn through the red robot, don't treat the stop street like a yield sign. I remember as a kid how my parents would make sure they didn't even put a tire over the pedestrian lines at intersections for fear of being fined. South Africans in general have a blatant disregard for laws. The attitude amongst almost everyone is that everybody else should follow the rules but "I should be allowed to bend them this time because my circumstances are different".
  14. I researched a lot of companies when looking to design jerseys for a client of ours. I compiled a list of roughly 14 in the end, got quotes, checked samples and rated the pros and cons. In the end, based on a good balance of price, quality and service I chose http://www.ragesportsgear.co.za/
  15. Weird, wasn't getting any option to view the list of publications from the App. Deleted and reinstalled and it's working fine now.
  16. When I go to the App Store link, it just opens the edition I already have. Anyone else having this issue?
  17. I might just be riding again in time for this. If I'm not I could just second Super Mil. He takes winning seriously these days and will need an umbrella man while he warms up on his Orbitrek at the top.
  18. Moutain Bike? Where am I going to get a Moutain bike in time to ride the Moutain bike park?!
  19. Never do this. You will crash, your office will be robbed and you will order chainrings that don't fit your cranks. It's the start of a long period of bad luck.
  20. It's not like it was ever taken seriously. Geez, remember the musician Chas from the band Plush? Killed by a drunk driver on the wrong side of the road. She got off despite testing over the limit because she claimed she was so shocked by killing him that she had to drink a few glasses of wine to calm down. My brother-in-law, killed by a drunk driver who smashed into the back of them at 120kph while they were stopped at a red light. Left his girlfriend paralyzed. Driver wasn't even prosecuted. Robert McBride? Nkola Motata? Slapped on the wrist with fines. I think I've lost about four friends to drunk drivers over the last decade and not one of the killers has done any time.
  21. The bike was on top of me when I woke up so technically I never left it, just mixed the positions up a bit.
  22. That helps, roughly my weight division as well
  23. Even for Enduros?
  24. On a bit of an injury break at the moment so seems like a good time to start fiddling with the bike. It's a Meta 5.5 currently setup as a 3x9 but I'd like to drop it to a 1x9 for the sake of simplicity. Is that a reasonable idea or is 2x9 a better fit for AM?
  25. I'm going over to Dunkeld Cycles just to see that poster.
