Hi Does anyone have any views on Louis Garneau Slate II MTB cycling shoes? Are they decent shoes? Takealot has a pair going for R2,550. Is this decent price for them?

Hi Does anyone have any views on the quaxar 29er GT5 rim? This apparently has a 23mm internal width

Hi I am currently using a Racing Ralph 29x2.25 on my front wheel and Maxxis Ikon 29x2.35 on the back. The bike feels like it doesn't have much grip when going round corners. My mates suggest switching the tyres around. I will give this a try but I was wondering whether it won't help getting wider rims. The internal width of my rims is 20mm. Will getting wider rims help and if so, what width should I go for?

I am currently riding a Merida 26er and want to upgrade to a 29er. I would really like to get a Merida but they are rather hard to come by. So I have looked at a Trek Cobia. Does anyone have any comments good or bad to say about the Cobia? Also, how does this compare to the Merida TFS 900?
