aah MTBikers!! Such awesome people.

Silly question but are your rims tubeless rims??

Hey Anyone know who the hubber in Edgemead , Cape Town is that makes bicycle stands? I had him add on a length to a steerer a few years back and it worked great. I need him to do the same for me again because i got a Fuji dual suss 29er frame and my steerer is too short. Or if anyone else can do it please let me know. The addition wasnt just welded on, a bar was rammed on the inside then the addition welded on which was superstrong. If i cant come right i'll reluctantly have to sell the frame on.

where was this??

If it happens when you're climbing hills could it be that you're using granny gear in front and smallest gears at the back...which is a no no?? In that case your chain would be rubbing against itself because there is no tension on the derailleur if your chain is too long.Did you install the chain yourself??

"I heard the guy that helped me first (60 year old shop assistant) singing in the workshop about my baggy pants and some thing about a "droll" in my pants." Why so sensitive?? Are you sure he was actually singing about you? Maybe you wearing baggy pants reminded him of a funny song? Are you sure you're not a roady?? Let the lambasting begin!!

I bought 10 / R100 so now all my friends have.... how's your ass feeling now??

Only in the paint used?? What about the rest??

been riding with tubeless converted with folding Rons for 3 years 2x a week.. Finally changed to actual tubeless tyres., but it does work well.

go check when yellowsaddle is doing their next course and learn to do it yourself

The route comes back over the train tracks again very close to where you crossed over the first time. The small indicator is on a tree. I also missed it

Thanx for the time. My wife says she wants to join the Friday classes now so she can beat me!! .......at last

BURPEES!!! + all the rest

Ha ha , had someone offer me 1/8th of my asking price a while back...Some people just hope to get lucky!!

he's being released to go home. fractured ribs but luckily no punctured lung as suspected originally

Oude Molen trails from Oude Molen distillery, Grabouw trails from the Grabouw clubhouse, Lebanon mtb trails Oak Valley from Oak Valley farm Paul Cluver is apparently good though i've never been there.

Endomondo or Strava.....which do you prefer and why? And which app uses LESS battery power??

yup! near the post office

A cyclist was hit by a car in Muizenberg yesterday. Anyone know what happened?

anatomic has a factory shop at Northgate Island. http://www.weardirect.co.za/sites/weardirect.co.za/files/u3/Weardirect%20-%20Anatomic%20Factory%20Outlets.jpg

I'm in..bit rusty and falling apart and i'll bring my wife.She hardly cycles anymore but it'll be good practice for her to beat me!!

my bad...ROAD bikes!!

personally i like the idea of 10-12 secondhand better. After the 1st 6 months your bike is already "older gen" as you put it. @nd hand at 10-20k much better value 2nd hand. Also try a ride before you buy or test some demo models first. i was suprisingly not impressed with some of the brand name big budget bikes and more impressed with others with lesser known names. I like cANNONDALE, sANTA CRUZ, SPEC AND ESPCIALLY PYGA

make sure you know the parts you want before buying them. Things that give problems are which Sram parts are compatible with which Shimano part, tapered or straight frame ,headset and/or fork, 15mm through axle or Qr,BB30 or BSa or GXP depending on your frame, brake adapters and rotor size. anyone else 2cents worth??
