  1. PG-13 (Some hubbers need Parental Guidance - or some did not receive in their childhood)
  2. I ride with mallets - no problems, all the advantages of the other CBs, just a bit heavier but better foot support
  3. Thanks - now I have a smile on my face
  4. This will be welcomed - thanks for all the effort!
  5. I got one a week ago....... Yes it is waterproof tested in the swimmingpool - got some nice underwater videos. I don't have any issues with the camera as far...... if recorded on HD the quality is quite good..... The video is quite shaky if the camera is mounted to the bicycle, less so if mounted to your helmet. I wan't to try and mount it to my shoulder (on my camelbak) next time I ride....... The 5megapixels camera's quality is not that good due to the lense.......it gives a bit of a "fish eye" effect. GPS functionally is an extra module thatyou need to buy and then there is space in the camera to slot it in..... I am still sruggeling to find the right software to edit the video clips.... All and all I am happy with the camera
  6. WWJD?
  7. Cool, Thanks for all the feedback....
  8. Anybody been there???
  9. Some peolpe don't have the time to service their own bikes.....some peolp have just started cycling and place their trust in a shop to fix the little gremlins till they have the confidance to do it them selves.... Well if the shop can not even fix a tyre or gears...... how are they goin to fix a shock? Bleed brakes? Install a Headset???? I would steer clear of Anton's.....
  10. Hi, Going to Misty Valley Lodge near Machadadorp / Waterval Boven this December. Has anybody been there? What can I expect in terms of accomodation ? And riding? Thanks!
  11. I bought a Giro XEN 2008 model from Cajees for R900.00, what a bargain! I looked at FPC and they wanted R2200.00.........
  12. William's bike shop in somerset west
  13. go for it!
  14. What was the outcome?
  15. Here is my thoughts: STAY OUT OF DANGEROUS AREAS RUNNING / CYCLING AWAY IS ALWAYS AND ALWAYST HE FIRST OPTION Failing the above keep the following in mind: 1) You need to know what you are going to do BEFORE you get in to a situation. Thus you need to decide today if you will shoot the guy, stab or club him.... when you are on the trail you must DO and not try and decide there. 2) Club vs. knife - I wil go for a baton as it is "less leathal" and "quicker acting" Result of a blow is instant - no bleeding out time..... 3) My preffer ranking: Pepper Spray, Baton, gun, knife 4) Obvisoly you need to know how to use your weapon otherwise it is useless and might be more dangerous 5) Whatch out for adrenaline dump as this will make you freeze (Adrenaline slow the mind, increase blood flow, tense your muscles etc.) Self defence is not as easy as peolpe think it is - unless you have been in a simaler situation a couple of times sucessfully defending yourself is unlikely. remember the following: STAY OUT OF DANGEROUS AREAS RUNNING / CYCLING AWAY IS ALWAYS THE FIRST OPTION
  16. My new ride... Santa Cruz 1 Nomad. Juicy 7, Fox 36 Vanilla, Fox DHX 5.0, Sainth hubs on a MTX29 and a ZTR Flow, Maxxis 2.35 High rollers, CB Mallets, CB Joplin R, SRAM X9, Had to go with Pink and Purple as it seems to be the only colours complimenting the Anodized slate colour....... This baby will be hammered on Saturday!
  17. ......guess they were bored riding the track the same way?
  18. If it is a Mazzorchi take it to Johan Borman in JHB for a service - Google Yellow sadle cycles or something simaler. If it fox or Roch shox take it to Spoke worx in Pretoria - google them Mazzorchi had no backup service in RSA for a couple of years now - thus you and the LBS would struggle to get parts. There should not be a problem on RS or fox. Hope this helps
  19. a powerband will acctually make you slower due to the added weight .....
  20. I was inthe shop last week wednessday...... must say it was quite empty - it look very simaler to Mervin Dinkelman cycles before they closed........
  21. Who do you sell to? 1) A guy that says dibs keep it for me OR 2) The guy standing next to you with the money?
  22. Just grease the seatpost and shim - this will stop it from creaking as well
  23. Ask Mike if he will shop the bike for my wife...... willing to throw a kidney or two in as well Mojo vs. Nomad.... no contest nomad. I recently bought a Nomad 1 and can not wait to give it go
