  1. Seems like there are too many daft prics in this forum, who doesnt know the first thing bout a bike, they talk and talk and talk, and when you get them on the trails, they normally cant keep up. I meen if the sorry sod cant see that a 2.4 stands higher than a 2.1 and has a larger rolling circumference ......... i think we leave it at that, stay uneducated. No more help from me!!!
  2. Dude the color of the stikker will do nothing to your ride. That is a top quality race fork... You cannot go wrong with Fox. and if you live in CT, the agents are in Lansdown
  3. oh, one other thing try to keep to the same size front and rear. or you start messing around with the bikes head angle. 2.4 in front and 2.1 in the rear slakens your head angle by 1 deg.
  4. While on this topic. i fitted Conti Mountain Kings 2.4 to my XC machine yesterday. when it started raining i went to Tokai. had them inflated to 30psi front and 35 rear.... these bloody things just gripped on everything i was faster in the wet with this stuff than in the dry with my CrossMarks. even though they much wider than the CrossMarks, they roll very easy. I bought the cheaper wire ones, cause they are on my spare set of rims... i was also sceptical as to the sales talk " these thing give lots of grip" IT WORKS, IT GRIPS. that slippery climb in the fairy garden, was just ridden up, in the rain, i thought to myself WTF!!!!! i paid R500 for 2.... It holds a lot of air
  5. im using them on Dtswiss no tubeless rims i use the stans conversion, they inflated with co2 canister. i run them 30psi front and 35psi rear on my hard tail 5 months now, no hassels
  6. While we are at it.....wonder if i should fit a Kombi steering wheel to my GTi...think it will look stupid?
  7. no hassels with that shop hey, they will do what others wont...
  8. COntact : World of Windows in Montgue Gardens They can Anodise Gold
  9. Thats what i was thinking. I have the CrossMarks on my Dtswiss race wheels. im wanting to buy a set of 2.4 M Kings for my other set of wheels.. Please explain the made in germany ones, how will i know if im buying the real thing.... the one im looking at is the basic 2.4 wire one...
  10. Lets here it. who will give better grip.
  11. Cause they want you to run out and buy one, so that you can look just like them... 95% of this cycling thing is just Marketing.... And the biggest BS is the race drink and peformance boosting suppliments.
  12. What is the weight of the frame?
  13. its a very good bike at the price. Try Solomons..
  14. I used the SpeedKings 2.3's and find them to be very grippy, with the ability to lean the bike into the bend.....but they all worn out now. wanting to get the 2.4 Mountain Kings... BTW whats with the sizing issue of Conties. cause the 2.3's are the same size as my CrossMark 2.1's
  15. Giant...good one...ask this bra wots his weight his nickname is Selomie.. that bike can roll just like that, but is he ready.... Pang why dont you do a solo Epic, or did you find yourself a partner yet
  16. i have this overwelming feeling that something is gonna happen before lunch time.....think it mite be Solomons sucking on my bank account, at least ill get some Shimano XT brakes in return... Cause im sick n sat of da geskree-ery......
  17. What if we change to Aligator Rotors??? any ideas
  18. i even used abusive language towards it in the Argus Doesnt work..
  19. Whats the deal with the Avids i have Avid 3.5's the front keeps making a hell of a lot of noise. i cleaned it, with cleangreen, it still shouts. i replaced the pads, it still shouts i sanded the G4 rotors, it still shouts.. am i missing something here?
  20. Hi Johan i downloaded the service manual. opened the hub, wasnt much grease inside cleaned the ratchet and pawl re fitted it. ** still doesnt click the way it use to **
  21. its a DTSwiss 370 hub. do i really have to take it back to THAT Bike shop??? The oil you talk about, can i use Finish line Wet lube?
  22. i dont even drive past there anymore, i use an alternative route. These same peeps fit the front disk rotor rotating in the opposite direction, when its clearly marked Rotation --->
  23. Somehow he doesnt know.... i dont even think that A Hole knows he has a bike shop.
  24. My DTswiss FreeBody use to have a very nice, loud clicking sound. Sent it for its normal 1 year service, now its Quiet, not even a sound. How do i get it to click again...
  25. HI i have the Avid Juicy 3.5 brake system. the rotors are worn and warped now. can i replace them with another brand like Aligator or the Shimano rotors will it work.
