Shangri la

Philip van Vuuren has been provisionally suspended with an adverse analytical finding in an in - competition test held on 20 July at the SA MTB cross-country championships. Anabolic steroids. from News24

Mutual and Federal Short term cover is the same as above - had to claim beginning of the year and they were very helpful, paid out the insured value no issues.

Patches, you "bought" the mountain bicycle in Nigeria...............That's different

Bat-ass, article comments the bike is a 27,5 not a 29

Jaxtun, You have it the wrong way round.... The Chongwe goes into the Strip!!

Sorry to say this ... but think it is a total rip off R355.00 - R5 cheaper than next year's Argus Defiantly going to give it a miss.

That LOOK needs some Campy to just finish it off

And where do you work?????

Does not rock my boat. Lots of corrugated dirt road - not my idea of mountain Biking

You are SOOOO disadvantaged with a Green Niner...

Once replaced check what the hose could be rubbing on.

Madmac, are you prepared to share - sounds just what I am looking for coming from Benoni

OK Johan - WHAT??

Bling Brake hose??

A lash is what your Dom does to you

MTBaaisikilist, Where were the porta-loos? In both camps I sat on white porcelain?? .

Just ride with your mouth closed - tyre spray

Toothpast will take the halitosis away from the saddle

A good hilly rout from Benoni is along North Rand Rd; right on the M44; down Edenvale road and up Fishers Hill. At the top right along Geldenhuise; right down Queens all the way past Bruma. Up Silvias Pass. At the bottom, right and you can add Linksfied Drive up the hill to the flats and down then make your way home. Some GOOD climbing in that route.

Your gearing is fine!

Thanks Wonduboy, 25l sounds fine. I was going to use paraffin but looking at the price and how it screws up the environment decided Prepsol would be better - also half the price!!

Where can I get Prepsol at a good price on the East Rand??

Think the 27,5inch is going the wrong way. This is more like it!!

Saw on Bikerumor the new Specialized 2014 Camber hard tail is $9250 - R93 000 must say that it harsh!!

This SHOULD reduce the entry cost - no manpower needed to sticker each tern and then remove them after the race. Sill ride in areas where the last race was 9 months ago with dayglo stickers on every other bush - just about as bad as all the plastic bags blowing in the wind.
