Because you thought it was a bad design for some reason? or she did an OTB and land to flat head first!!! freak accidents can happen anywhere and on the simplest stuff, believe me, I know.

Is that what she crashed on? The bridge looks perfect. If you could do something like that for your event it would be great. If that is where she crashed im guessing she went in too fast like Ratboy and landed to flat.

I agree to a point but you have to be pretty fit just to hang on to a bike down a hill. even without peddling. But Yea, that was an impressive run, shows just how steep those tracks are.

Ill take a picture of my slap stop design for the top, and I put some double sided tape on and put 0.5mm plastic on to protect the frame, made it quiet also.

I can promise you that those kids, wives and girlfriends are not the ones that are going to straight line corners to try go faster or because they can't make the corners. Emmeies, I think has 3 corners that are being cut, ill use this to point out the idiot that keep on moving the logs put next to the protruding steel bar. The new line running down to the gym is also having a few corners cut.

please show me where I have barked orders!

Dude, get a life, please.

"let me make it simple" you mean, unless you have a split personality? No where have i barked orders or told people what they have to do, I asked nicely. please provide some useful feedback or take your stupidity somewhere else.

'fabes' Let the dick swinging begin - only by those dissing the "spruit rats" 'Wyatt Earp' The opening thread makes insinuations that only a handful of people know who to ride bikes. - No, its simply says, try stay on the line. What do you define as riding a bike, because if its compared to GM then I really suck. 'fabes' I think everyone should just chill the **** out -All chilled thanks 'danger dassie It's a suburban green belt, not a dedicated biking trail. Something quite unique to Jhb and awesome in it's own right. All kinds use it, including people who will never ever ride their bikes elsewhere, or only ever ride on the odd occasion for say maybe 15km of any of the Spruit. When many of the preening strava manne and rats, lycra'd, baggied and all wheelsizes can comprehend this, they might actually realise what it means to cycle. So please, don't get too precious over 'your' lines. - So with having more corners it will hopefully slow these lunatics down. 'Vetseun' Im so happy for you - and i'm the Troll, 'dracs' Close enough? - No, he spends more time overseas 'Wyatt Earp' I think the entire topic and it's intention was based on trolling with the intention to get a few warnings issued. - Isn't this trolling? 'fabes' Thats great. Maybe peach can set up a fund raiser to collect money for these guys to get some decent bikes and after that the rat fairies can run some skills clinics for them - but I thought none of the rats know how to ride? 'Wyatt Earp' I don't think it's isolated to one or two individuals, but more an attitude by the amateur "downhill" bunch. It's hard for them to accept that we all like to do a different type of riding. - So accept that we like windy flowy trails. - If you dont like them stick to the straight path. 'voltex' This post must have been started by those baggy shorts guys with their loose fitting oversize shirts covering up their fatt boeps ,based on what you guys look like no wonder you can only ride the spruit - You hit the nail on the head, I am fat, slow, have no idea how to ride a bike and wear clothes 10 sizes too big for me. please teach me

I am sorry for hurting so many of your feelings..... let me put it simply for those that did not quite understand what my point was. If there is a path, please stay on it, don't cut corners. Trails in KZN and the likes have enough vegetation etc to stop people cutting corners, in JHB we have to make do with what we have. We try make it fun so please respect what we do and keep to the riding line. Is that still offensive you haters?

believe it or not but thehub is not the source of my entertainment, bicycles are.

Thats why I said SA

haha, I would love to see anyone in SA ride everything on the spruit on a road bike, jumps included

whats with all the trolling and hating, I was just pointing out the obvious.

It has come to my attention that many people that ride the spruit do not know how to take corners. Many of the corners in the windy tree sections and even out in the open have been ridden straight. There could be a few reasons to this. - You are going too fast and therefore can't make the corner, you are riding beyond your limit, practice taking corners because you cant cut them in races. - you are going for the KOM, don't bother, they are too close to straight paths to pick up a diffrent trail. - You simply dont know how to corner, I would suggest some skills clinics. If you do prefer to ride in straight lines please keep to the open paths or roads and leave the trails to be fun and windy. On this note I would advise you A - Learn how to corner. B - go slower. C - learn how to bunny hop. Some obstacles may appear in all of the straight lines in the not too distant future. You can thank the Spruit fairies for improving your riding skills free of charge.

some of those are hectic

you are AMAZING, please can i be like you

well you clearly don't work on any. you just chuck them in the bin and put new ones in. unless they are CK of course

did I say all?

Haha haha, Chris King is is just like any other CK handbag. It's all just rebranded. I have cleaned and reused pretty much every type of bearing, Pivot, headset, BB. If their is no play the bearing can be cleaned and reused. I have taken a seized bb bearing back to prefect use with some parrifine and new grease. If you Can waste cash on new bearings when you don't need then good for you

If I say it, believe it but still use your common sense

They are identical. I have a whole bunch at home. I can check tonight but im sure I have. PM me if you want me to check.

Furthest I got was to take my bike out the box and leave it on the floor in pieces, everything still felt good at the end of the trip. Going to give her a full strip and rebuild, Its been 2 years anyway. when I eventually get all our footage from Patch Ill put something together.
