  1. Hoping to be doing the same. Then a 500km drive home.
  2. Shimano have never made a sealed bearing hub. So your 200k bikes rolling on Dura-Ace wheels are still cup and cone.
  3. and to ride brakeless!!!
  4. I have assigned one of the buttons on my mouse to do this.
  5. Well who knows one of them might have indeed been temporarily disabled after said tryst.
  6. "his fellow players felt he should be punished" Maybe they should accompany their statement with a score out of ?/10.
  7. Tend to agree, overpriced and overweight for R3700 with limited selection.
  8. He used to race at SA pro level back in the day at u16 level, then went into the working world. After a few years off he came back and raced for Europcar locally as a pro as well as a stint in Belgium. He then stopped racing pro and just rides his bike which is what he enjoys. He did ride SA Champs this year just to put in a few attacks and keep the pro's honest.
  9. I had a very similar thing. Had to go get a police affidavit saying the company had closed etc. then went in physically and got asked a few questions and thumb sucked a figure for how much I earned that year.
  10. Great looking bike but I think you might want to slam that stem.
  11. Pretty sure i know where you picked up that beaut.
  12. Jeez , I'm only going to bed at that time some nights (if I don't have to get up early to ride).
  13. I would give the guy another day, if payment doesn't reflect in the next day then go back to the second guy and ask if he still wants it as you were stuffed around.
  14. How fast were you reversing!!!
  15. and to think XX1 was R9k 5 years ago .
  16. Wouldn't mind one of these http://toolmonger.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/Isoloc%20on%20jig.jpg http://toolmonger.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/isoloc%20examples.jpg
  17. To fill you in on some background info. Alan started of racing downhill in his youth and was up there with the best of them, he then moved over to cross country. He tends to have the same race ethic that Burry had, go flat out from the start til you blow. Alan has got a super high reving motor, that used to blow spectacularly in the closing km's of a race. Now as with Burry although at an older age Allan's stamina has caught up to match his engine. His DH background also means he is one of the most skilled riders around.
  18. I'm 99% sure that he has standard XX1 due to the following. Lack of evidence on any social media of him receiving it. Cassette size and derailleur colour in the pic. And this pic whereyou can see it's a xx1 shifter.
  19. The fork is 100mm. I can back this up with PROOF if needed.
  20. Lots of the top guys will run 3 Ti rotor bolt so save weight.
  21. Oversized Bearings & Hardware—Increased demands on bikes called for stouter bearings and hardware. The new links house larger bearings and hardware to increase bearing life and balance, as well as the handling characteristics of the chassis. All bearings the same size. Threaded BB—You asked for it, and we delivered. This means that you’ll get longer bearing life and no more creaks.
