  1. There's a new kid on the block... http://enduro-mtb.com/en/exclusive-review-the-all-new-vecnum-moveloc-seatpost/
  2. This bike looks like it could be up for a challenge....... http://enduro-mtb.com/en/sneak-peek-bionicon-announces-new-26650b-enduro-bike/
  3. Shorter stem and proper flat pedals for my Stumpy FSR!
  4. Seriously? Thats flippen hilarious! Well the toilet is the most secure place to do dodgy things in.......
  5. Shizer that sounds terrible! I have never liked seating beads on tires, even when someone else does it. I'd rather stand a few meters away and observe with my ears muffled. Nonetheless, tubeless is the best move that I've made in a while. The tires even roll better, and feedback is better aswell.
  6. Hi everyone Hope you all had a great weekend. So my GF and I went for our first BLISS ride on Saturday. Wheels took a hammering through rocks, got swarmed by angry devil thorns and the Stans just laughed all the way. Best money I have spent this year so far! Thanks for talkin me into it! Have a great day y'all!
  7. Thanks Maxxis I will make sure I inflate them to 300psi tonight. I will ask my GF to hold the wheel close her face while I inflate them all the way...... Have a great weekend guys!
  8. I have always liked this mucho grande!!!
  9. Hi SwissVan Thanks I will make sure about the pressures, I am sure the LBS will probs inflate them alot as to set the bead. Will just check them after the pickup.
  10. Hi Schizo They charge R370 per wheelset, so R740 total. For Stans rimtape, valves and sealant. I had to buy my GF a set of Kenda Slant tires for R450 each as well though........ It will be worth it though, more time on the trails.
  11. 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!
  12. Thank you all for the great advice I was hoping for. Its payday so our bikes are going in for some botox ASAP! Cheers!
  13. 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?
  14. Excellent! The song is even better than the original!

    Siiiiiiicccckk!
  16. Aaaarrrggghh my eyes, my beautiful eyes...........!
  17. 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!!!
  18. 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!
  19. I knew the ad looked fishy......... Good luck getting it back man!
  20. 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..........
  21. Stumpy FSR!!! See if you can get a 2012/3 model for much reduced price. I love mine! Good luck.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
