Ok ok..... I might be wrong. You are right all of the carbon bikes are yellow and raw carbon. Yes the bike can take up to 180mm forks but I meant the frame has 150mm travel. I know of the new juliana but haven't heard of the solo before.......

Why aren't we riding this morning? My excuse is the cold-front that is sweeping over CP. Gonna see if we can find some snow tomorrow!

He caused an accident that HE could have prevented........ And he didn't stand his ground. When he was about to get moered his traillies intervened. This is going nowhere just like the Hein vs diplomat thread.

Why are you shouting on this lovely morning - to much coffee? Damm ......I could shove some chop of the trail right about now for a propa cup o coffee!!

That is a bronson. Solo on the front page of the french mag revers to " the one", the article might say this is the one bike to have, solo bike. Bronson has 150 mm travel.

This reminds me of that great warship vs lighthouse urban legend.

You get MTBers that are chops and you get trailies that are chops. This morning you were a trailie that was a chop. You could have prevented a crash but you didnt't. Your ego was more important than commom curtsy. I am not taking about the MTBer he was wrong and a chop. But you sir was the bigger chop for not preventing the crash.

Serious - before you buy ask them if they can replace the spokes or if it needs to be send to the agents (which it does) and ask them how much it will cost and what it entail to replace a spoke.

Have to agree. After sitting without a wheel for 2 weeks and costing me more than 1K, decided to get myself a home servicable 32 hole wheelset.

Before you buy an Easton wheelset ask them how much they charge to replace a spoke.......They charged me more than R1000.00 since they HAVE to replace all spokes, otherwise they don'y guarantee their work.

Looks a bit like Zille........the one with the moobs

Hi, I believe praise needs to be given were required......... so thumbs up for Cyclefunatic. I asked them to do a small repair job for me unfortuantly one of their mechanics screwed up the component that needed to be fixed. I pointed this out to Hennry and they replaced it free of charge (and labour for that matter). No shouting required, no swearing required, no arguing - just "Yip its our fault, we will replace it for you". Thanks guys! YOU ARE ONE OF THE BETTER LBSs

Answerin the OPs question: Cyclist, and all road users, will only follow the rules if they perceive that they are in danger.

.....so what does the trails look like? Anybody been upthere recently?

Realy is that the only contribution you can make? You don't stay in SA don't ride tokai anymore..... But you keep on with your )$&@$en vendeta against POS and tokai. No trail building from you, no help with negotiations, no positive words, no sorry about the snakes. Just I saw it coming and POS this and that....... Let it go man, you are wasting your time and adding fuel to a fire.

I only now started to "master" the jumps and use to my flow........ Guess we will be spending more time at jonkers....

I was there this morning.......not knowing that those "snakes" would be my last , so sad.

akneetling you chop. Its poeple like you that keep the hate in SA alive, always see black and white and when feeling inferior you play the race card. start making a contribution to SA and stop hiding behind the colour of your skin afterall you are the " right colour".

What is the total lenght and diameter of the spring? I might be able to help you..... Got a 36 coil and a lyric coil

I only greet people who enter my personal space of which the size differ due to enviroment. If they don't greetback I pressume they have a $&@)ed day or life and let it be.

Was cycling in Tokai this morning and saw two SAPS on scramblers patrolling at the start of vasbyt. Sure made me feel a bit safer and alot happier knowing that SAPS is taking this seriously. Thanks to all involved!

Speak to the guys at Mankele in Nelspruit, they have done it before and should be able to give you some pointers

Do you paint complete frames aswell? I am looking to repaint my bike in next year.........and add some airbrushing.

Where are you based?

IMHO - Travel will save you but not give you talent. It will save you riding down a rocky track so that it seems you have talent.
