  1. it was a toss up, go or get boxed in, I went at around the 300 metre mark, was doing well until i noticed 2 wheels coming fast, finished third, but an uphill into the wind sprint should be attempted 100 metres from the end, lesson learned
  2. I agree, those three and eventually those 2 riders that stay away must get Kudos, but what is even more interesting is that guys in C have faster times then the 2 guys that broke away in A-B
  3. that auntie on her motor bike trying to control us riders in A and B was a bit hectic, she gave me three warnings, I was actually curious as what would happen on the forth, I suppose they have our safety as their main concern,
  4. Loved the ride, great weather. I do wonder how almost everyone got into A. I just love a 9AM start, thanks AMA
  5. I think the LBS is the biggest victim of this, them have no choice, as consumers we come in a close second, but at least we have CWC and CRC, I am a big fan of these two online stores, The service and delivery from CRC is at another level, for anyone hesitant to use CRC, give it a go you will be pleasantly surprised, and when it comes to a warranty issue, just email them a description of the problem and a photo and they refund your bank account, truly amazing.
  6. Same weekend as True Cape and Grave and Grape?
  7. Any idea of the start time, Bit steep on price
  8. forget about South Africa, when will it be available to Chain Reaction Cycles
  9. if you want speed you have to take capped package, the Afrihost R7 a gig works and with the cell phone app you are in control. I share DST with my neighbor, dual vi and 50 meter cable works but even at half price it is expensive. I download from eztv.it piratebay and the rest, im thinking of cancelling and only renewing for TDF
  10. I order a wheelset and a few bobs on Thursday 24 Feb.received on the 9th March CRC posted very fast and the items arrived in JNB in 4 days, SA customs also fast, got a call from Cape Mail asking if I was at the address and they hand delivered, great service, I recommend, just don't post clothing the tax is to high
  11. The Ikon is a killer for this. AS the dude said..1) remove the valve core to allow faster airflow also get a piant brush and coat the tyre beads/walls with stans
  12. Ive just put on a conti Pure grip X King 2.4 on the front and will test it Sunday, it looks and feels good so far
  13. worn bush and the inner race was also worn, the inner part was not in stock , however it has been ordered and will be ready tomorrow. Just a wear and tear item.
  14. Thank you Stoked Suspension , within 2 mins you have the bushing out and problem solved,.
  15. I have a Fox 2012 PR 23 rear shock. If I grad the seat and lift I get this clunk feeling, like a bit of play ,and it is getting worse, I am hoping it is just a Bushing issue. Has anyone experience this and ope easy and accessible are these bushing units
  16. LOL, evening SJ, well i guess I will be seeing to tomorrow then for some complete cables
  17. Thanks Stoked, just discovered a new problem, this banjo is to thick, does anyone know where you can get genuine Shimano XT banjos.
  18. I have just received new XT brake calipers, I am replacing the old style SLX brakes, the slx brakes has the straight screw in bolt, however the XT has a Banjo{correct term}Does anyone know if the Banjo requires an Olive or not??
  19. if you do well in your first 60KM ride do they move you up the next year?

  21. Hi Has anyone has done this ride and would recommend it?
  22. I love this, I have three Racing Ralphs in boxes at home, I have to ride a Maxxis Arent on the rear, I weight 97 KG and love rock gardens, yes it heavy, all that protects has weight, the racing ralph is to thin, they even warn you about this on there website. what do you think they are saying when they mention ..http://www.schwalbetires.com/images/error3.gif NOTE: This is an out and out competition tire! Puncture protection and durability are limited! http://www.schwalbetires.com/bike_tires/off-road_tires/racing_ralph_425
  23. I have never done this ride before, I have a 60KM entry, I was told that it bottlenecks and that there can be a lot of standing around when all 3 groups merge, any advice from a vet?
  24. Thansk DrooI missed that, may have to get one on ebay, or as Spoke suggests a LBS, but I think they do the same as us and rebuild. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SRAM-RDPS7006-Hanger-B-Bolt-for-Rear-Derailleur-X7-2011-10spd-/161270288482?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item258c755062
  25. Thanks Droo Yip, works perfectly, nicely little engineered split ring, could hardly see the gap. I will just order one from the UK. There must a so many damaged RD, for every three you could make 1 complete one. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/za/en/sram-derailleur-hanger-bolt-assembly/rp-prod15401
