I learnt that a cheap upgrade can cost more than an expensive one. Actually I haven't learnt. I have done this several times and will probably carry on. Most recently - carbon crank for R300! Grabbed that. Oh, it's GXP. Add a BB. Oh, it's a SRAM with a stupid BCD (120), add a chainring. I've had the same issue lots of times where things just don't transfer across resulting in buying lots of extra bits/tools. I have also learnt that it's often better to go to the LBS and pay them a small fee to use their right tool than my hammer.

My dad had a full sus Produx in the 90s. Weighed a ton, had magura hydralic rim brakes.

I would love to do this. I grew up in Lesotho, the terrain is amazing.

Hi everyone I'm Matthew from Kloof. I grew up on a mountain bike (mostly in Lesotho) and now i'm in Kloof KZN. After a long break i'm getting back into riding and also accidentally into bike maintenance as i've had to build up from lots of parts.

I have an old Mongoose. It's been painted badly but that can be sorted...
