Anyone had experience with these products yet? http://nsmb.com/leatt-2015/

I might have a B&B two bike platform rack available. I just spoke to my buddy who seldom rides, says the rack is just laying around. Asking price is R1300 though. Possibly requires some refurbishment.

Really? Shucks...... did u call up makro to inquire yet? Game maybe?

I didn't read much of this thread, but I have a B&B rack and have been using it for about 1 year now. It is a platform each which mounts onto my towbar. I paid R500 second hand. And I think they sold at macro and game for like R995 a while back. I think there is a R1900 model as well, but I'm not sure. All I can say is this thing does exactly what I want it to do. Hold my bikes, don't damage my bikes, and not really affected by wind. It does get a bit heavy with two bikes tied. I use an old cut up bicycle tube to reinforce tying the wheels down to the rack, and also reinforced the clamp arm with a piece of tube. I for about 8 months last year I travelled through the overberg each weekend with my bike on the back through hectic winds that blew trailers over. Every time I arrived safely with the bike in position, maybe position shifted a little bit now and then, bug nothing dangerous far. Best R500 I spent on biking so far.

Yes exactly, but is it cheap.......ish? Looks pretty expensive. Here is my current bike. Any advice would be appreciated.

Anyone have a 2nd hand rigid fork for my mongoose tax singlespeed? I've thinking of doing what some of you guys have done in this thread. I think it's called monster cross right?[emoji4]

Hook it up, winter is around the corner. Ride it and then post us review[emoji4]

The flows lack side protection, how have they worked when taking a fall so far? Action cycling has the ixs carve, so I think international trade probably brings them in now, I'd go with those. Currently using the ION pads, awesome. I climb with them as well, not the coolest but ya I climb with them and fallen with them and they awesome. The new leatt pads looks good as well?

Yes there is, Firstly I rode xc pedals so I know lightweight. Therefore I considered the XT trail pedal. And my tiny XT pedals even got in the way sometimes, smashing rocks n roots etc. So XTs and similar was considered. Then it came down to support, xc pedals dud not stop my feet from "rolling" around the pedals, especially during climbs when I'm cranking it. So I needed a box that would prevent the rolling. XT was still an option but the DX had a wider base for the sole of my shoes to seat. DX was more in the light at this point, however I would still consider XT Cz of price. performance, I could not say Cz I never used it before. Only pro semi pro comments and reviews. However I had both the DX, XT, 424 and 545 or some sort of numbers like that, in my hands. Could feel that dx would give more grip. Longevity. Well some one I know who swears by dx , has used all the similar shimano s as well as XT, and says dx can take the most beating. Might be stroke of luck. But I believe him. Maintenance, dx works on cup and cone bearings, so thing like that. Mechanic sold me when he informed me on what to do in terms of maintenance. Basically just tighten the one nut he pointed out from time to time. Other pedals like the 424 and 545 did not have this. And then, aesthetic reasons. Looks good too. And u prefer saving and buying something I am sure will last me a good 5 years minimum.

Nothing cheap, but better than full price. R1000 Been putting off getting a set for the last 1.5 year's now. Honestly I am sure which other pedal could be compared to the dx, maybe mallets - but that's crank brother's and apparently high maintenance, so I steered clear. The first things I noticed about the pedals Was weight, grip and overall support from the cage, and dent in my wallet[emoji4]

So I got myself these

No probz, give them a call and ask to speak to Devon. They a bit busy due to argus and everything, but I know he will be putting in an order soon. Maybe you could arrange with him delivery to you directly from the supplier.

My previous post was a response to your fox enduro post.

Did u consider the ixs carve? It was my first choice but international trade only stocked the ixs flow. Then I got myself the ion 2014 pads(locally). was super sad when I saw the is carve kneepads hanging on the wall at action cycling in CT

Please give us your long term review when time comes. Very keen to read.

I'd go with what Droo said, only because their "Stoke Suspension" jerseys looks the part.

which variant of bronson do you have, or is there only one type available? Price? Cheapest I can get a Bronson for is R595. 26er that is.. Is ur bronson living quite well for is soft rubber compound ye? Which did you team is up with out back?

Also, At capricorn: If the Magics are lasting over a year already, and still have about one year left (on the front) - that is really good in my books! I would actually pay the price (easybikes price) for a tyre that good that lasts ±2yrs...

I hope it does make a difference! I really don't want to make a purchase, and then a few rides in I get the "I told you so" feeling. After all tyres are not really cheap. I've noticed some wear/tear on the side knobs at the base of my schwalbe (pacestar though). It is not braking wear( I know what that looks like:-)) the side knob still stands proud, and as cap said earlier - base of knob and tyre top cap junction. But its okay though. I had the tyre for about a year now, nothing has broken off. Maybe this is the "my weight" factor. Hope so, really do. Just sucks that it seems I will have to be importing from CRC, local stock is so crappy.

did you have the HR II on the front yet? Would the same happen if the tyre was up front? The HD knob tear issue, is it isolated to occurring on the rear, or does it happen on the front too? Bronson on the front anyone? (No vigilante in 26)

so does that mean that one should rather stay away from the HD? Seeing that it is so common, the chances of it happening on any HD is more than 70% or so? Which tyre would be the next "go to" tyre. Bronson maybe? Seeing that 26inch options in SA is so limited. Can a Bronson even be compared to a HD? In price yes.... HD @R499(easybike) and Bronson@R695(stoke).

Not able to get the Ibex 2.4 for 26 inch locally in SA, the MMary too. So i was considering the HD. Well, your above statement just put me off completely. Seems WTB also stopped manufacturing 26inch Vigilante tyres as well.

Is that the 2.4 DH 120 tpi? or the 2.25 FR type?

what great skill!! the slow motion really shows off his technique....

Pics??
