Trough axle hey? Is that like the thing pigs eat out of kinda axle?

And on a really loooong ride you can eat the baby!!! Nyom nyom!!

I tape a tube to the seat post, everything else goes into a hard waterproof zip up sunglasses case. Into back pocket....

Shhhhhh!!

Entry fee is R12450 per team.....

Wooohoo!!!! Entered!! Paid ! Confirmed for 2013 Race!!

Tell her to wear her big girl panties and stop crying when she goes too fast on a descent

Two words...... Black route

Maybe....

Clevva....

I'll say this quietly cos I've had to eat too much humble pie in the last few months....came from 26 dual to 29 dual. Riding a 29er dual is like cheating. That's my opinion.

Shhooooweee now that's a question. If you find yourself in Johannesburg you can join us for some cool rides but they won't rival Switzerlland! There are some really amazing places to ride all around the country and you'll get lots more invites/suggestions. Off the top of my head, Durban area: Holla trails, Giba gorge. Knysna area: Harkerville. Cape town: Tokai.

No it's cos that big ball of fire in the sky goes behind the hills in the distance.

Sram gripshift.

26er? Hope hubs, Stans 355 or Flows (stronger 100g heavier) rims.

Yup on the Salsa, I didn't use the full lock on grips cos I feel they are waaaay too long, I mean whats the point of having 680mm bars when there is 25mm on either end of the bars that your hands won't ever touch? The gripshifts just make the bars look so tidy though. Will try remember to take a pic.

I fitted mine on the weekend......laughably good!! It will take a bit of getting used to compared to the 3x9 gripshift as stated in the review the amount of movement required to shift gear is a lot less. Found myself over shifting on the way up a few times. It seems obvious but I think getting the cable tension 100% correct is absolutely imperative to getting the full value of the system. Ride it, set it and you'll see what I mean. I'm a very happy Manbearpig.

I'm no expert but i suggest you just train harder.....and load your gear in spinning classes.

2X10 XO gripshift.......

That's it! I'm tin foiling my spokes tomorrow.......

So what about the guys on the Tour who get handed newspaper to stuff in their shirts before a cold descent? That surely is outside assistance. Where is the line drawn?

To end vis fred I will qwote va wizdom of Naas Botha. "Tjekkie scoreboard"

I heard she ate lots of ginger biscuits

I found one already thanks guys!

That's amazing! I'm usually faster on the downhills and slower on the climbs.
