  1. Yussiss boet! Is your tent mate that forceful?
  2. I've heard you can use a XT for the middle
  3. If a camelbak is too uncool then try get hold of one of those sidecar ice cream boxes that you see on bikes outside sport stadiums. The ice cream dude might even throw in a free bell for you and that will help you get past the tackie brigade when you lap them at babbas lodge races.
  4. If the wheels were 3 inches smaller it would be perfect!
  5. Um yes..... that is correct.
  6. "Definately" is definitely not the correct way to spell "definitely" Now for homework see how you can use this word to abuse this thread. Have fun you illiterate peasants! (ducking)
  7. Rather get a 20mm hole saw and drill 10 holes in your frame. Then fill your tyres with helium. Also try draining half the brake fluid out the calipers. The safer option to lose a bit of weight would be to do a little Bee dance when you're sitting on your morning pottie and shake off that last little drolletjie thats hanging from your hogs eye.
  8. Ran them tubeless. Very light. After 2 rides I got a light sidewall scrape. Not even a cut, a mere graze. Would not seal for sh!t. Tyre is still new but sitting in the pile of old tyres behind my kitchen. In conclusion, I gave them a try but I won't buy them again.
  9. "Durex- The best there is"
  10. So there you have it! 29ers are for cyclists who don't know how to ride a 26er properly
  11. I heard Blue waffles are good but whatever you do don't google it.....
  12. Why "He bragged on his Youtube that he was using old tyres."? Old tyres grip better in dry conditions anyway. Tread is only there for wet weather. He's an idiot yes.
  13. Ummm, there's a name missing on that list..... needs updating today.
  14. The 29er has definitely made me faster, not cos I own one but cos I'm training harder so that I can beat my usually faster race snake mates who have got or are getting them.
  15. Try spinning classes. With proper load.
  16. Ok so I bought my Chumba VF2 about a year ago. Everyone and their bike riding dog told me not to do it because it is not a big, well supported brand in SA. (it's pretty big in the USA) I'm am not blessed with wisdom yet and I'm a bit of a chance taker so I thought I'd take the risk as I really liked the demo bike. This is an honest post so I will tell you that my bike has had very little brake use over rocky descents. In short it's had a tough life up to now. The day before I was to leave on a bike riding/fishing holiday in Rhodes I hit the Mtn bike park and was messing around in "zombies birdnest whatever" and I had an "issue" with the rear carbon triangle. Not a catastrophic failure but enough to make me cut short my ride and pedal home. I phoned the local agent Gavin (ngala24) and explained my predicament with my holiday in the mountains coming up and all. He said he did not have a spare but would take one off a demo bike.(this seems standard practice in LBS) I stay in 4ways, Gavin stays in Mondeor about 40km away. Gavin changed his Christmas shopping mall destination from The Glen to Fourways Mall so he could kill 2 birds with one stone and DELIVER the spare part to me. I just spoke to Gavin on the phone and my new part will be here this week. There are too many cliches that I could use to congratulate Gavin that would not do justice to his effort and the spectacular service . All I will say is a sincere well done and thank you.
  17. So you mean on the second run he knew the route better?
  18. In. Starting at Em dam.
  19. I stopped riding crossmarx cos of this problem.
  20. You can get rid of 10kgs of unsightly fat by cutting your head off.
  21. What about abusing friends? When we ride I am always calling OPCrace a fat c**t, and he calls me a smelly d**s. No offence is meant or taken.
  22. Eish! Sounds like they didn't machine a radius.
  23. I've moved away from crossmarx. Reason being is that I've had 3 that somehow the tread distorts and makes it look like your wheel is buckled when in fact it's the tyre that is f#%&ked. I have a maxxis monorail on the front that does the job well though.
  24. Being roadies they were probably doped to the eyeballs on steroids and super aggressive
