  1. I know one of the sponsors,should i put in a word?
  2. Trek frame has a lifetime warranty,but first owner only..Not sure how the warranty works for the other two
  3. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_suspension
  4. Anyone else running red metal fives?
  5. Glad to hear he is ok,and well said.Too many people ask for a cheap helmet ,yet ride a R15000 bike.What i am saying is,get something decent!
  6. When you just stare at your bike at night,make sure everything is perfect,fiddle just for the sake of doing so,clean the mtb just to make it dirty again,spend time experimenting whats good and what isnt,and by when you talk to a fellow cyclist about cycling,you just feel that passion for the sport
  7. Its the front and back.Its not sideways movement,but a slight play by the teeth,forward and back.Anybody else ?
  8. I put the rotors on my fucrum red metal 5 centre lock today,and noticed a slight clockwise /anticlockwise 'play',its a very small movement.Is this normal?
  9. So obree would you round that of to 175?
  10. Polar has heart rate,so long term its a better option.However there must be a big price difference between the polar and cat eye
  11. I remember seeing a general formula for this, your inseam multiply 0.21 in mm.Anyone knows about this?
  12. Interesting..so will there be a difference in fatigue levels?
  13. So if 2 guys with similar power outputs are riding the same combo, 50t front and12t rear,at the same cadence,under the same conditions ,even though they riding different crank lengths,the speed should be the same rite..But,will the guy with the bigger crank arms be using a little more energy to ride at the same cadence or is the difference over short distances not noticable?
  14. I understand that a lockout can be found on any type shock,however does the j2 have that safety function linton is asking about?i remember the early j3.s i think,had a lockout but didnt have that function.
  15. It comes down to leverage,but then like sheldon says,you got gears to compensate..The people who ask for shorter cranks generally have a smaller inseam or have knee problems.other people say they dont feel the difference.Wouldnt shorter cranks be slightly easier to pedal?
  16. Anything the night before unless theres a race on the next day.Musli or pronutro in the morning with a banana or,last nites left over steak...
  17. Our thaughts go out to Jeff and Cynthia,and i wish them a speedy recovery..I hope some one comes forward with some information
  18. Yes it would,and probably untrue your front wheel if you jump/land hard.I dont think the j2 has it as it is a coil shock,that function is on the higher end air shocks
  19. Plenty dedication to this topic in every forum.i wil just say from a budget point of view,you get much better spec on a hard tail than a d/s of the same value in most cases..
  20. Ofm the sunday before 94,but Cant you pay for a re seed in the expo?
  21. If u forgot your password,they can email it to you..also make sure its a secure connection,i remember it once refused to let the payment go thru for that reason
  22. Seat height,cleat positioning,are u a pronator?or Itb issues,get qualified help,it depends where the pain is,Bushmaster2009-09-02 00:57:10
  23. Thats a good idea..unfortunately i cant log in often ,as i dont have internet,but i saw this being done in some car forums,and its brilliant
  24. That's not chainsuck and that changes the picture. When you change to a larger chainring, the extra length of chain required to go around the larger ring comes from the spring-loaded jockey. It supplies extra chain by moving forward. It has to happen. If the chain gets stuck somewhere on the crank and you've recently changed chainrings, I'll check the orientation as described above and then the settings on the front derailer. i agree with johan,but a quick question,did u put a bigger blade or used the same size ?
  25. Thats it,its a well known brand,and you sound like you going to look after them..please give us feedback once ridden
