  1. CRC sells half links. The problem I have thought with a "magic gear ratio" or using a half link, is when your chain get's stretch a bit, you cannot easily tension is up again, without breaking the chain and removing a link etc.
  2. Love riding SS! Put on baggies and top, helmet and gloves, click in Garmin Edge 705, grab a water bottle and off I go Out of interest how many SS riders do we have up here in Gauteng? Would be fun to have a "race" like this (http://www.nomambo.net/raceofthedead7_13.pdf) Here is my rigid ss at Mankele bike park. http://imgur.com/5DzCm.jpg http://imgur.com/kMReU.jpg
  3. Some guys like it tight, some don't, if you press your chain in the middle down above your rearstay, it should move about 10mm.
  4. Quick question about the half-link chain been thinking of getting one for my SS as well. What happens if you break it? Easy enough to use a half link and push a pin through to connect it again? Or does it come with a special link?
  5. singlespeed sub-forum on forums.mtbr.com
  6. lol....site hacking.. call down little script kiddie, I am sure you meant defacing
  7. Did the 70km race on my ss rigid, amazing too see so many people get off and walk for the smallest technical bits.
  8. I love my 29er. Best bike upgrade I did in a long time.
  9. Weird, when I was going through there, there marshal standing there, warning everyone to lower there heads. Also there was red and white bunting on the top of the gate.
  10. Wanted to do the Freedom Challenge next year. Got my provisional entry email - R16500 - WHAT?? They must be smoking something, that for a self supported race? For that price I would rather go to Europa and do a race or two there. SSWC 2011 comes to mind...
  11. Thought I will revive this thread. Here is my SS 29er scandal. http://imgur.com/WiDuW.jpg
  12. Lots of places.. Groenkloof Voortrekker monument Boschkop park - awesome, awesome, awesome singletrack Trackz out out east of pretoria for some technical skills MTN bike park...thought you won't get much distance. etc.
  13. Not really that cheap...and quite limited on products. For example : http://www.buycycle.co.za/buygear/helmets/bell/bell-bellistic-helmet-bell.html R950 an then you still have to pay shipping. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=30295 R676 + R281(shipping fee) = R957 (and that's only if you don't buy enough stuff to get free shipping) Interesting as well to note how buycycle use the same images for it's products as CRC use.....
  14. Wonder if the old trials are still there, Sugar Bowl, 12 steps, etc.
  15. Really? Would be awesome if Logwood opens up again. Where did you hear about it? ? http://www.logwoodvillage.co.za/news/mountain-biking-news-flash ? That's awesome! I loved riding there! Darkside, Sugar bowl, etc. lots of good memories
  16. Really? Would be awesome if Logwood opens up again. Where did you hear about it?
  17. No bike is worth it...but, then perhaps if we do fight back they won't think we are such easy targets anymore.
  18. The SRAM XX just being sold as a groupset, or can we buy the components separately as well?
  19. Anyone know till what time they stay open during the week for riding?
