What is your budget?

RANT ON I don't understand when someone asks a question and obviously has a budget, why you would recommend something that is obviously not in budget... RANT OFF SLX is fantastic MIKE.

My favourite playground... Helderberg

Jonkershoek

Any oil based product... No... I never clean it, they clean themselves.

Fantastic! Love my cycling time with my laaitie too!!! Very precious!

Both you ladies can put away the handbags and take it easy... Each to their own opinion... Look, now I get involved too! Anyway, take a chillpill.

One word - ANTHEM!

I am no techie, but your only challenge as far as I know is the BB compatibility. The new cranks are almost all compatible, so at worst you will need to buy a new BB. The other thing you need to check is the tapered vs non-tapered frame and forks. The rest should all be fine... I switched from a 29er hardtail frame to a Giant Anthem, and everything fitted nicely...

Why you getting angry? He is clearly taking the piss... with okes like you!

I've tried them all, and found the Phillips Neckband earphones work the best for running...

100% true. I wish I knew in my 6 years of varsity what I know now, 15 years later. At varsity I had soooo much more time compared to now, working 8-5 every day. Now, it requires REAL commitment. I get up at 4am every morning to try and get my 2 hours in before work. Being married, with 2 children that is really the only time in the day I have. Use your "troublefree" days for real hard training. Get up in the morning, get in your ride early, and if you have energy late afternoon, go for a easy or long ride. Also, use your weekend to ride. Not to "kuier" like all the rest.

Nothing else compares to Stans. Tried most of the other stuff out there.

Because he can't afford one.

You mean other than the 25% price increase

Get a Giant.

Dual air... If you know how to pump it, it is very nice and you can adjust to your type of riding.

Officially, NO, unnoficially, YES MAYBE.

I play there every morning, and I must say, Big up Wannabees. I joined them just to ride these trails, thought the least I can do. The trails higher up is actually for members only (Bilton, Stellenzicht, etc) On the other side of the R44, they also have 25km odd marked trails and jeep track, but not as nice as the ones in the Mountain. What would be awesome is if we can have something that connects Stellenbosch and Somerset West along the mountain, coming down Lourensford...

With that you will be able to hang on with ANY group ride! IMHO... Good luck!

My Temp license number is not there... Supposed to be around 9th on the 32km.

Team Cow and Chicken also entered!
