  1. Sorry, a bit small... try this one the order of the rows is: 1 chainset teeth 2 wheel revolutions per crank revolution 3 wheel circumference 4 wheel distance per crank rotation
  2. I've pondered it myself... hope this is not to small...
  3. 29 HT with 2x10 will suit his lanky frame and sits nicely in between 26 HT and 26 FS
  4. i love tools...
  5. he did!
  6. no.. a 29er will do the trick... regardless of the fork. i will however recommend a through-axle...
  7. here it is... even better in real life...
  8. a friend is spoiling himself and busy assembling this... will post final actual pic asap
  9. xx for sure... its 2/3 of xxx! QR or 15mm (fox) or 20mm (rock shox)
  10. Diemersdal makes a wicked Sauvignon Blanc! Big up to Meerendal and Diemersdal for letting the race go through their properties...
  11. check your computer magnet... and then the discs
  12. The beauty of 29ers is that they maintain their momentum because of their bigger "lever arm". This is part of their downfall as well as they feel sluggish on the get-go and need more effort to build up the momentum. Therefor, i think it probably makes sense that they need bigger discs to curb that momentum. Having said that... whatever... just put a 183 mm up front and a 160 mm at the back (i do that on my 26ers as well) and ride! They get hotter because they have more rotational momentum that needs to be stopped...
  13. BC bike race... www.bcbikerace.com/ http://www.google.co.za/images?q=bc%20bike%20race&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi&biw=1280&bih=685
  14. Nice! Did you use a lazer cutter?
  15. hope you are the first owner... if so, lucky you... getting a new frame!
  16. sounds like legalized price-fixing to me... having said that, i support my local shop...
  17. Skimmed through that monster-long article - looks very interesting. I have found the same and now ride with 2.1 Maxis ADvantage out back and 2.25 in front. Both ghetto tubeless. The Maxis non-tubeless sidewalls are strong enough.
  18. cant see jack! (edit) thats better now...
  19. I had to turn my wif's stem around (higher) to allow for her boep... i rode the day after the baby was born... not a problem...
  20. where have all the great TECHNICAL posts gone? photos of mishaps in the workstation, solutions to common problems, technical questions... come on guys, bring it on!
  21. great quality... if the grease is anything to go by!
  22. ... i'm gonna ride like this! http://nsmb.com/4138-smallmediumlarge/ are you in the mood yet... ?
  23. well done, me thinks its a wise choice. on the note of bar-ends... when selling a bike, it is my opinion that taking them off for the photo shoot is a grand idea. these 6 inch trail bikes with 2.3 inch tires... and oh-so-comfortable bar-ends just do not look the part.
  24. DON'T DO IT! Please i beg you... don't do it... at least not 4cm each side - its a lot
