  1. Or if we get enough of a group together, I think I know where it starts and we could go looking....
  2. Would also be interested in a ride with someone who knows the area, after which I will share the GPX file...
  3. Cut it off and leave it in there!
  4. Hi, Does anyone have any routes saved for routes / trailes out the back of chartwell / broadacres?
  5. My new ztr arch ex on hope's arrived yesterday. After a proper wrestle seating the back tyre, I had an awesome ride this morning. What a difference on the climbs!
  6. Probably more than I would need to support a cocaine habit...
  7. The only issue for a used bike is warranty. Although if you insure your bike as a separately specified item, it's covered for frame damage anyway. I bought new, but actually wish I could have found an XL second hand at the time. Could have saved me a massive amount on upgrades....
  8. Condolences. Very tragic.
  9. Another +1 for the Giant Anthem X 1. I have upgraded my brakes to SLX, changed the saddle to a gobi, and popped on some spez tyres for my tubeless conversion. Just bought a dropper which hasn't been installed yet. I Love this bike. It's light enough to keep up with the roadies in the odd Road race, and I find it handles Very well with the spez tyres. It goes over more rough stuff than I have skills for. I fall every time I ride a trail, but the bike just keeps on going.
  10. Excellent. I'm very interested, but only if you're willing to deal with a bit of noobness.
  11. I'm 2m tall. I've never had anything normal size work for me.
  12. Sounds good. Bike size?
  13. What did you choose? I hope it was the Giant!
  14. 1.99m and riding a giant XL 29er. I have a 40mm riser and a 400mm seatpost on it...
  15. Ya, that's pretty much my policy. Except it's meant that he isn't interested in riding anymore because of it... I'm not going to push though. He still gets excited to see me on the bike so slow persuasion for now....
  16. +1 for aeropress. That thing makes unreal coffee. And I don't have to wait for it to heat up like my Sylvia.
  17. My wife bought me a tacx bike work stand, and a pair of Grippp kangaroo leather Gloves. She loves me.
  18. So awesome. Just wish they came in 29"...
  19. Where did you get these rims? What make are they? If you don't mind, how much? I MUST have them.
  20. Today I started the helmut fight with my little boy. He was so excited to see his Strider, but had a melt down when I wouldn't let him ride without the helmut... I even tried to put mine on as an example, but it didn't help.. This is a little off topic, so I apologise, but I could use any advice that has worked for you guys?
  21. Ok. My only question is about the chamois quality? The good craft stuff usually goes for double this price?
  22. The mini specialized bikes look awesome. But at R1800 they can keep them.
  23. Is this the best way to get them riding? I also have a 2 year old, and can't decide between peddles or peddless...
  24. Nice machine that. Just make sure you adjust the grind finer only while it is grinding..... Otherwise you end up damaging the cogs that drive the Grinder...
