Thanks again to you all. I quickly rushed home, took both our wheelsets off and rushed them to my LBS for the tubeless conversion. Her Nevegals are old tech so I'll stick her with some more modern ready tires. Wheels will be ready after work, so tomorrow I will go for my first BLISS ride! F Yeah!

Thank you all for the great advice I was hoping for. Its payday so our bikes are going in for some botox ASAP! Cheers!

Excuse for asking advice on this topic, I know its been discussed in the past. I need fresh advice. What are your thoughts about tire liners matched with slime tubes? Should I rather just go tubeless, my wheelset is 2bliss ready. My GF on the other hand has a 2012 GT Avalanche 2.0 and her wheelset is not tubeless ready. We mostly do trail riding in rocky and thorny terrain. Damn those bloody devil thorns, I can't get a proper ride in without re-inflating OUR tires throughout the ride. What do you propose?

Excellent! The song is even better than the original!

Siiiiiiicccckk!

Aaaarrrggghh my eyes, my beautiful eyes...........!

No dissing the bike man! Giant AC frame with a Shiver upfront, it's legendary. I wont mind having those parts myself. The dumbass made a biiiig mistake! Hubbers are sharp as eagles!!!

Hope you catch that spineless scoundrel. If that was my bike I would obviously know every little single part and detail. Not just like "It's a black downhill bike and I need a new keyboard" description. Best of luck!

I knew the ad looked fishy......... Good luck getting it back man!

Me like alot! I have always liked Mondraker's different design ideologies. I wonder how it rides? One day I will have a garage with all the exotics..........

Stumpy FSR!!! See if you can get a 2012/3 model for much reduced price. I love mine! Good luck.

You can always try to get hold of a sheet of 1mm shim stock, from an engineering supplies shop or proper hardware store. It is made from brass, and you can make a stencil from your hub profile and transfer it to the shim stock and cut it out with a scissor. You can always layer the sheets as well.

Both my hands are pretty intelligent, but my right claw is the cleverest. I like my cleverest hand to modulate my rear brake when doing high speed manuals/wheelies. Left claw is smart enough to handle front brake duties.

I know with a Schrader valve you can extract the core, it just screws out. With a Presta valve the core will drop down, into the rim/tire cavity. Dont know if I am 100% correct on this.

BOOHYAH!!! What time is it now?...... keen for a beer.....don't know why?

I am very excited to see whats gonna happen!!! I was thinking of visiting Rhodes in March for riding and flyfishing, I heard that the rivers are flowing very well at the moment. I really miss the place, visited there in 2004 the last time. Whats the brew there called again? Highlander? Shweet! I hope for the best, this is a very good opportunity for all SAffers. Its kind off centralish, so all provinces can attend. Its gonna be a siiiick party!!!

Tread +1 Good ol' MTB Action & MBUK at u'r local CNA. I like the online mags, but there's just something special about holding a magazine in your hands. Plus you can read it on the throne.......I don't have a tablet.

Das Focus Sam is Uber coooool!!!

Pretty expensive for shoes with no tread at all....... Just kidding, dem shoes are awesome!

I think Tiifindel reopened last year? Its a great idea to use the resort as the base for the race. Add to that, that the race will be great publicity for the resort, and the new owner/s will benefit bigtime! They even use to have shuttle bakkies to and from Tiffindel to Rhodes, for the people whose cars can't make it up that concrete pass. Think bike shuttles. We should pitch this idea to someone..........

This is a good pattern.........

Hi nickelass The relief data looks promising! So who were the organisers of that race you mentioned? With the big interest in Enduro in SA at the moment the support will be much bigger. This would really be a great opportunity to get someone interested to host/sponsor/organise a race there. I am in Bloem, and I will definitely help anywhere I can.

Very well done! Sukumas are so good looking, and that paint scheme's gonna look siiick! Gulf rules!

Cool beanz man! Good luck with finding those Arayas and the lever!

Very cool build! My one friend and I used to have Super Gooses........those were the days. How does it ride, probably flippen quick hey?
