  1. Got me one of these..... http://www.chumbaracing.com/vf2-build-kits.shtml
  2. Something like this would put an end to the 26er/29er debate.
  3. Don't use any.
  4. Yes bless them 29ers they are a bit slow on the downhills (i got held up by one or two of them "w@nking around" on a big, technical descent) but they are trying.
  5. I ride a 26er Dual suss but even I am getting tired of this thing against 29er riders, yes some of them are w@nkers but not all. Some of my best mates live at the coast and ride 29ers.I did not read your entire post but I find your heading "Table View beach W@anker with mountain bike" extremely offensive. In the interests of political correctness rather say "Cyclist with big stupid wheels seen in Table view" No need for name calling. That is all.
  6. There are 3 different settings that you can set to determine the lockout force. 1 = Some give, 2 = less give, 3 = pretty solid (unless you hit some stuff) I'm on a 5inch travel bike and getting almost no bob on 3 setting. Check out the website though before okes speak *** in your ear. http://www.foxracingshox.com/fox_tech_center/owners_manuals/07/eng/rear_shocks/float_rp23.htm p.s..... most of what's been said above is correct (saw this post late)
  7. My grand parents lived in Hilton (when they were alive) They used to say that Hilton was for the "newly weds" and "nearly deads".....seems they were right?
  8. I got limited time to ride in the week (3-4 hours)so when I can I try f#%k myself up as much as possible. If you think you're wasting your time on the bike then you probably are.
  9. I can read that it must have been a road race..... mountain bikers normally race in zone 5 until they blow and then complete the race in zone 1
  10. What if my cycling shorts stink like A$$?
  11. Obviously keep looking ahead, (depending on speed and technicality of the descent look 3m,5m,10m,20m whatever ahead).If you see an obstacle don't keep watching it up until you arrive at it. Acknowledge it in your mind and then keep looking for the next obstacle. Soon enough you will get into a rhythm where your body will be reacting to what your eyes saw 2 seconds ago and your brain is making plans for what it is seeing up ahead. Right or wrong that's how I ride and if I do moer off it's because I've watched an obstacle too long and I haven't anticipated the next one in time and that's the sucker that gets me.
  12. Mr Hotpants from Faerie Glen......I sense prejudice coming on.
  13. Listen to me very carefully now. If last years race is anything to go by..... save your legs for the last 15km. You are gonna k@k your best man pantie in the heat.
  14. I forgot my banana in the car and I knew my juice was not gonna be enough, when I got to the 40km water point I smashed 4 cups of coke and then hammered it to the end waiting for the inevitable collapse. It never came and I felt sweet (pun) at the end. So I'd say it wasn't the coke but rather one of 3 things: You didn't drink enough coke at the last water point, your prerace nutrition was *** or lack of 70km racing was a factor. Or not.... i dunno...
  15. Sorrie... Hector Norris on the dinwiel for me today...
  16. I'll check out your handywork tomorrow maybe. I have 1500W going through my pedals so I'll probably be wheelspinning your rocks outta there
  17. I heard Hitler's 29er is fixed. He'll be there for sure!
  18. Friday 16h30, Start Emmerentia, down to Fratellis, back up to Alberts farm with a trip or two up Northcliff -time permitting. Come play.
  19. "Touching Cloth"
  20. Leave your shorts out in the sun and let them dry out. The skid marks will become flaky and you can brush them off easily. The more ingrained, stubborn ones are a different story. Fold the shorts along the seam, shammy side out and jam the exposed shammy inbetween your molars. Then grind the stubborn stain out, stopping regularly to spit out the soggy flakes. I find this works best for me. Good luck!
  21. I've also had comments about my hair free legs, things like "jissie bra! I've seen better legs hanging out of a birds nest" But during a recent mtb race I took a tumble and ended up in the medic tent. The old paramedic dude said to me "Jissie bra! It's so much easier getting *** out of wounds when there is no hair involved" ....made me think....first time ever.
  22. I VEET my mangina.....
  23. You HAVE to do the Rhodes Extreme!!!
  24. Contaminated meat....
  25. You're looking for rubber grease. It's red. Should get it at any good midas or hardware.
