  1. Oh the seatpost where it attaches to the saddle. Now i get it...I had 1 of those. Broke during a race and i had to cycle without a seat post. 6km later i gave up..hard to finish a race standing on a bike .Once the saddle is gone it's difficult to balance. Why didnt u say so in the first place.
  2. +1!!!!!!!!!!!!
  3. er..made in China doesnt necessarily mean bad quality. Some of the factories in China have really stringint quality control. Of course the problem comes in when you have to choose between the good manufacturers and the bad. Like buying food. Organic stuff in SA deosnt mean it's really organic. It just means it conforms to some of the standards to be able to label it organic. just my 2c.
  4. You're looking in the wrong direction. He was clearly a Roadie, masquerading masturbating as a Mountainbiker.
  5. hmmmm. also been using foldable schwalbe Rocket rons and Nobby nics with a stans concversion kit and running about 40psi. Runnning DT swiss rims. No problems in the year and a bit even in Tokai.
  6. Reminds me of this joke my buddy told me last week. Husband:" Dear dr Phil, I was busy in the dark watching my neighbours 18 year old daughter changing whilst knocking back a cold one. Then i turned around to see that my wife had been standing there at the bedroom door staring at me the whole time. I'm concerned dr Phil. Is she a PERVERT?????"
  7. do you have a tracking number?? Chances are that it is sitting with customs.They take quite a while with stuff after it arrives in the country.and then expect to pay 50% and VAT and clearance fee on top of that.

    Hubber Tyrone is the guy i use. He's in JHB but post stuff through. Communicate via PM and email. He's really cheap and relly good, and uses quality vinyl.
  9. Awesome..you're right up the road from me...cant wait!!
  10. And they're friendly as can be....and near a butchery with great biltong!!!
  11. or you're just getting old!!
  12. er...so why didnt you stop and cover him up or at least ask them to cover him???? Seems we've all become desensitized and like to complain. In case you are wondering, I am involved in a rescue organisation and have had to deal with body recovery, but it would be nice if the public could show some sensitivity themselves. Some even stop to take photos.....how's that for sensitivity?
  13. If you were in Tokai i would have said it was mine. Lost mine on the switchbacks in Tokai a feww weeks ago..very bleek!!!
  14. You want to spend R20k on a bike and you're a noob...er....and you want a hardtail 2nd hand for that price?? Either you have too much money to spend or you got some image to look up to. ..ha ha. Seriously, do some research and decide what type of riding you're gonna be doing or else you're going to regret your choice.
  15. Make sure you pump the rear shock to you weight properly. Seems to blow if you dont. The chart should be on the side of the shock. Had a Scott genius Mc 50 and loved the bike, but it got old and had to move on, but rode really well.
  16. and i got the 2nd last 1 at Constantia village. Awesome dvd.
  17. Hey, What's the difference between the hope pro 2 and the hope pro 2 evo hub??
  18. yep, got the Brian Lopes and Lee McCormack book at Exclusive books. Has the same cornering technique, but it's more fun to watch it on video!
  19. Try hubber TYRONE. He does all vinyls and they look great and stick like crazy. If u send him a pic of what you want he can replicate it.
  20. Also havent received mine. ..checked with TREAD and Bicycling as didnt get either. Seems there is a problem with the publisher and that the new issues were supposed to be out by now. If your bike shop has them now and you dont, there's a good excuse to be P off..hmmm...better check the bike shop today!!
  21. My friend that does DH says you just pedal faster and pray...but then again he's a bit of a cowboy , but RESPECT!!
  22. There's a map??? Where??
  23. Or it could be a guy with an American (fake or not ) accent who runs a bicycle theft network and that's the story he told the cops to lead them off.But it's probably my cynical nature speaking!! But well done on doing what u did!!!
  24. Julius Malema Robert Mugabe Same amount of letters in the name. Get it??? huh huh???
