  1. I have sent you a PM about trying these out and posting a review for you.
  2. Looking for a new pair of MTB shoes. Considering the following: Specialzed Pro Diadora Pro Trail 2 (any body who ownes a pair, please comment) Mavic Fury (toe box looks a bit flimsy) Giro Code (front looks to flimsy, so not really a contender) Outsiders: LG Sidi I have been using a pair of Spec Comp for almost 5 years and they are still holding out, but need something new that will also last me a long time. I will try on all the options, but are more looking for good and bad experiences that users might have had with the shoes. Thanks!
  3. Another happy customer! thanks for the mention. www.Chain-L.co.za
  4. My pump (or Lefty) has all of a sudden started giving me hassles when I try to inflate the Lefty. Air leaks out somewhere faster than i can pump. Whe I fiddle with the valve adaptor on the pump, at certain angles it seems to leak slower. I think it might be the release lever causing this, or oil in the pump valve. Any ideas on how to fix this? http://www.tredz.co.uk/prodimg/25398_1_SuperSize.jpg
  5. are you sure its a 29" rim and not a 27,5"? I have also had good luck with a garage pump when a CO2 bomb and floor pump didn't work. Interesting thing which I found was that at the BP across from Die Akker in Dorp street, I could not get a tire to seat. Went down to the garage at the bottom of Dorp street, and guess what, it worked. It's all about the pressure and volume of the pump you use. Good luck.
  6. Why?? Are the people staying there hungry or in any way connected to Banson Mathews?
  7. People aspire to be like champions, not one time winners. He inspired more people to take up cycling than a beloki, zulle, or any of the less well known 'new winners'. So you think he was the first to dope and the others followed to keep up? My point is that nothing was gained by the decision to impose a ban and strip him of the titles.
  8. Dont understand. Get caught while you are a pro rider, get a two year ban. Get people saying that you doped, get a lifetime ban and stripped of 7 titles and the people that are now the winners have all been caught at some stage of their careers. This is a disgrace, even if lance was positive. Rather focus on going forward than to dig up the past and tarnish a person that has done more for the sport and other great causes than all of the guys that placed second in the 7 years combined.

  10. what interview??..he spoke for 5 minutes and said nothing...Sagan does not have the team to back him up and has no other option but to sit behind other teams lead out trains. You cant expect him to form his own line next to the other teams trains??!! I am more of a Sagan fan...

  15. Awesome shoes. I have the comp in a size 45 that is to big for me. asking R1200 if its your size, maybe consider them. Used 5 times.
  16. They do not measure you, you measure yourself and order the correct size. Thanks for all the other feedback guys.
  17. he has already told us see page 2
  18. Hi All In the process of getting some kit made by Ftech. Anyone used their kit? I have seen some shirts and they look nice and of good quality, but want to know what the chamois in the bibs are like. I have seen the brochure and it seems like they have 3 different quality inserts. Will see if I can get a sample kit before ordering and give some feedback.
