  1. I also bought from them on Monday, I bought a Shimano BB. So this morning I logged into my profile to see what the status of the item was, and it still said Processing. So I gave them a call to hear what was going on and the told me the only got the part shipped in from Malaysia this morning, which I found quite weird because when I ordered the item they still had in stock. Anyways they have awesome prices so I think the wait is worth it.
  2. I assume you didn't see my word play...I meant shred , like you are shredding the trails.
  3. Yes I logged all of them , I just didn't do them all and I didn't have time to ride as long as they said.
  4. They are open on weekdays as far as I know, but I think you have to purchase a ticket at Toolup Cycles. Can someone correct me if I am wrong?
  5. The conversion cost me nothing because I sold my shifter ,derailleur and chainrings on The Hub and ended with R100 in my pocket
  6. Converted to a 1x10 today and dropped 350 grams on the bike. The shifter,derailleur and 2 chainrings weighed 400 grams and the race face narrow wide 34t weighed 50 grams.
  7. Today was my 3rd day on my lefty and I am still enjoying every moment of it. You can ride withouy hands on a lefty

    Damaged rim

    So stan's won't corrode the rims?
  9. I am going to put on a set of lighter tyres and do the 1x10 conversion . Then I think I am going to drop about 800gr. I believe this will be the cheapest way to lose that much.
  10. I used a fittrack program to sharpen up for 94.7 . My fitness score was 10,2 and I rode a 2:42.
  11. I weigh 70 kg and are 182cm. BMI 21.13 . If you can help me lose more I will be more than willing to.
  12. Hi to all. Yesterday I bought a Cannondale F29 alloy 2. I was super excited to go home and weigh the bike but was quite disappointed when the scale tipped over at 11 ish KG. So now I come to you weight weenies to help me shred a few grams. The bike is currently has : Front wheel: Stan's ZTR Crest on a lefty hub with Rubena tires. Suspension: Cannondale lefty Handlebar : Cannondale handle bar Stem: Cannondale stem Frame: F29 alloy 2 (2013) Pedals : Shimano XT Seat post : Cannondale stock post Seat : Cannondale seat Crankset :Shimano XT Brakes: Shimano XT Shifters :Shimano XT Chain: Shimano XT Cassette: Shimano XT Rear Derailleur: Shimano XT Rear Hub :Shimano Deore Rear Rim :WTB frequency race i19 with a Rubena tyre. I think that is about all the stuff that make the numbers on the scale rise. I am going to convert the bike to a 1x10 setup and plan to change the rear wheel to a ZTR Crest. is the rim change worth it, and where else can I save a few grams without having to rob a bank. I would like to keep every thing on the bike aluminium so carbon seatpost and stem is out. Any suggestions welcome.
  13. Hi to all. What kind of specs could I expect from a second hand aluminium hardtail with 650b wheelsize and under R16k? Should I rather buy a secondhand carbon bike with a heavier groupset, and heavier rims or should I go with the aluminium and get the best possible rims and groupset?
  14. Otherwise if all else fails I would go to hakahana.
  15. Would it be fair comparing Thaba Trails blue loops to hakahana? Looking for a place to do a prep ride this weekend?
  16. "Why not 12-18 second hand? Then you're more likely to get the spec you want." just want an example of bike that is worth that much new so that I can search for a second hand one. I am 16 and looking for a good all rounder I race xcm and xco.
  17. "The half marathons are normally around 550 odd meters. Hakahana has tough climbs." 550 is not that much? to which other races would you compare it?
  18. entered for the half. anyone know the elevation gain on the half?
  19. hi to all I am looking for a budget mtb. preferably a carbon bike with a xt/slx mix and a good shock? any suggestions? price rage would be between 12 and 18k new and 7-12k second hand. ( aluminium is also fine) any suggestions would be appreciated . thanks
