its difficult not to lose my temper now... but its not just them, you get crap service from all "these" shops... a couple of weeks ago I was at Solomons in Pta and looking for keo cleats,, the kid working there tells me about the keo grips,, and says that the "rubber" bits on the bottom of the cleat is for it to grip better in the pedal... needless to say I took my money elsewhere!

just to give you an idea, I sold my marathon 8 frame (the newer model of the rds series and the "higher up" frame...) for R 2800 last year...

so tell us about your race this weekend... who was this fat person side loading and dropping on the first hill??? the worst is when they get off at the first piece of single track / technical bit!! happened quite alot to me in the mtb argus...

I think its a great idea and would reccomend you to anyone!! I've had personal experience with Johan fixing my shock, and must say, this course sounds like a must for any mountainbiker! knowing the basics will help you alot and save you alot of money!! Good luck Johan, great idea!

where are you getting them? sponsor/shop? would you say its worth the wait over a pair of LG's or mavics etc...

which stores in the Gauteng area stocks DMT shoes??? thanks!

cool thanks,, but which shop would you recommend that I go to? you know,, the ons with the most stock and the biggest variety competive price etc.. cause i'll coming the Gauteng from Potch and wont be able to hop around between shops or spend a whole day looking for shoes?? Turtlek I saw those LG shoes at the argus expo,, where did you buy them, they look awesome!?

I want to get some decent road shoes,, where should I go in the Gauteng area?? looking to spend R2200 - R 2500 ?? what shoes would be a good buy? considering mavic, specialized maybe?...

** HIjack...** difference between saturated and total fat??? which is worse?? **BYEjack...** interesting...

yeah I have one... BUY IT!!!! truely an awesome bike!! you wont regret it I promise you.

what pedals are they? some have an allen key which you loosen/tighten from the inside (through the hole in the crank) others,, you can just loosen with a wrench (size 13 I think?) just check the direction in which you turn them,, for the righthand side pedal you turn it clockwise to tighten it (anticlockwise to take them off) and the lefthand one is the other way round! ( clockwise to take it off) before you start you might want to spray some Q20 or something on the thread,, cause they can stick sometimes! spano2009-03-12 03:02:04

JB true is an awesome guy!!! he helped out alot with my shox before the mtb argus!! wouldnt have been able to ride if it wasnt for him..

I hate to say it KDEE but I think that is what its going to come down to.. I sent him a pm, waiting to hear if he'll be able to help me tomorrow.. but thanks.. I wish I could do the race rigid, but i will be riding myself into the hospital,,, I'm still "recovering" from a shoulder operation,,

thanks guy,, this is not good news... hope someone here in Potch knows something about Rock shox...

anyone? (sorry this is quite urgent for me... )

pretty please...

Ok this is quite urgent and i hope not very serious... I just went for a mtb ride and on my way back i feel something is not right,, when I finally see what it is,, my shock (Reba Race) is fully "locked out" the poplock is not engaged, dont know what is wrong, but its rigid,, there is absolutely NO damping whatsoever.. what I tried is to remove all the air (+ and - sides ) and then pump it again and still nothing,, now i tempted to remove the poplock and see what is going on inside there????? Please help this is quite urgent,, I need it for the MTB Argus on Sunday!!!spano2009-02-25 11:44:10

that is awesome,, you can ride over this one and then back over the "old" one and over this one again... you get the picture!!

I have a Reba Race on my mtb but the steerer is too long,, when the spacers are on top of the stem it sticks out like almost 2 cm and this looks sh*%... how do I shorten it? what happens to the piece on the inside that the bolt grips to (the threaded hole?) because by the looks of things I'm gonna have to cut it below that point?? or should I just leave as is and try and look past it?

my dad bought his bike there last year,, and took it back to them for its first serivce,, he wasnt impressed at all!
