    Got a pair of Impact VXi's a couple months back, they're so grippy that they have stripped all the paint off my cranks, took like ten rides. Otherwise they are amazing

    Ritchey Cross is Sexy. They need to sacrifice that seat post and make it look sexier. The Detail one those frames is amazing. Shimano guys could do some dusting.

    They seem to have the little nitrogen boxes hooked up to airlines at allot of Engen garages now, no idea how they work but its free. Will nitrogen leak faster or slower than air??

    Would you ever rather be one of those people though? We have a secret that nobody else could be bothered to hear.... bicycles are better

    If it gets you there, ride it. I found gears better for commuting, every now and then you find yourself leaving work with nothing in the tank, super low gearing helps for a sad chug home. Thats about the only thing i can think of that would swing me

    Double post

    Thats why it would be cool, cause you could actually see who was on a hard tail and how fast they went

    Awsum Riding!! Stage 1 deserves a round of applause. Was really cool not having a specific order of stages. Did anyone else have near collisions at the bottom of 1,2,3, that was a special kind of sketchy Hard-tail division is the only thing that would have improved it

    What spokes

    True that excuse the pun

    Thermo Moto cross gloves work well but you'd probably still need inners at that temp. Well done btw, I'd be in my car with the heater on full
  12. DeFconOK
    Other people might say different but straight gauge for drive side on rear and DB for the rest
  13. DeFconOK
    If XT hub is pitted, it cant be fixed, so if you choose that, check they still roll perfectly, that said, if you have the cash, flow on hope, and find a proper wheel builder.
  14. DeFconOK
    What Craig said But difference is so minimal in terms of price and weight you might as well use the Flow for strength, but is rotational weight so if you're into light and fast, go lighter Just put flows on my 26 hard tail, stiffest back wheel i've ever seen. Solid as all hell . And the beed socket, even running wire beed and tubes, oh my word, Stans forever!!

    Those look pretty unique, i'm sure you could make something though
  16. DeFconOK
    Awsome!! Thank you I went left on the tar. Will find it on saturday, looks very cool

    Can anybody help with best way to get to the top of the gravity run in this vid, the map dosn't really show this very well, ended up doing the downhill marked on the map, which is trashed, and the marked enduro which is good. But didn't have time to get to the trail in the video, its a shame because the guys do such a rad job building the trails but nobody at the park really maps and promotes them
  18. DeFconOK
    Is there a map of SA anywhere with all Parks and Trails marked, not the Trails them selves but the Centers and Trail heads. Would be cool to have one of these guys http://www.ezilon.com/maps/images/africa/road-map-of-South-African.gif With Markers and links to websites and stuff. Would make it easy to find new spots along the road

    For example http://www.konabikeworld.com/bikes/2k7/STINKY/2K7_STINKY.jpg The best veiw of these bikes is from the cockpit

    Shimano is just not smooth enough :/ Keen to get hold of a replacement cage.
  21. DeFconOK
    Yea try get the chain line correct near the middle of the cassette. But there's not much you can do to change it other than moving the chainring about or moving the BB which is not really a good idea. The middle ring is designed to use the full range of the cassette so it should be good.
  22. DeFconOK
    What will WD do?? will stop using it. Only ever used it just to coat everything for corrosion. What about tool in a can or Q20
  23. DeFconOK
    People will pay for quality work, but in SA its all bout experience because we have no formal training centers in the feild. That said it dosn't take much to catch on, and if you're willing to learn you stand a better chance then a wrench with ten years and no interest,

    http://crev.vo.llnwd.net/o42/mtbreview/images/products/medium450/product_504266_65097.jpgor Finisline Wet in the green bottle Technically not the correct applications for both but the Semi bath makes for a quite ride, so dose finish line but you need to clean out the free wheel more. Grease also works but theres a risk of sticking so light stuff only To make a hub as loud as possible, clean it 100% and lube with WD40, wipe of all the excess so there is just a thin film. I have no idea how good any of it is for the parts but never had an issue from any of the above. But really its all down to the hub design

    Sealant is designed to coat the whole tire while riding so guess its a big difference. I've heard of guys painting sealant onto a clean tire, Paint on two rounds, seat the tire and ride. I think the bigger problem is sealant that goes unchecked and keeps getting added to until http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii34/hootsmon_album/2009-06-25_Tubeless/DessicatedSealant.jpg
