  1. Not if you got a csa license.If west coast is not csa sanctioned then you as a license holder can't do it.Ive asked the question from west coast but no answer.
  2. Just remember its worlds and uci run the show .Uci rules with regard to clothing apply.Ive seen the the past that uci are not to be messed with .Ive been at a national where they pulled a guy off the startling and DQ Ed him for wearing a sleeveless top.Were not bothered by his complaints that he traveled 400km to do the event.
  3. Just count yourself lucky.Mate of mine just discovered a crack on the rear chain stay of his ally Epic on the weld.1st owner,got proof of purchase etc.Manufacturer agree it's a warranty but are only replacing rear triangle.I'm interested to see who pays for rebuild etc and if they now use the old pivot bearings in bike and who also pays for that.I think he might still be lucky because some companies(Spez included ) don't see the rear triangle as part of the bike.
  4. ****,I think I'm staying in walking distance from that Keg,might not even make the start.Are you a Doper if you on the startling pissed?
  5. XC 40-44. I take my hat off to you guys.Cant believe how downhill has changed over the last 20 years.A XC course today is more technical than a DH 15 years ago.Today DH is just insane. Good luck,spot you at the party.
  6. With all this energy going into bitching how about rather transferring that energy into support for the course builders as well as the ballies taking part.Been in xco for a long time and I know that in almost every age group we have real podium contenders and we will come home with a few World champs as well.Really sad to hear about Chris.
  7. Not to me it wasn't.You riding Grebel?What age group ?
  8. Aaa,I remember those days.Not on smaller bikes tho.One bike for everything.4 X Friday night,XC Saturday,DH Sunday and if you weren't bruised nough you would sommer give trials a go on Sunday pm.All on same bike.Talk about entertaining .
  9. By the way,thanks for all the effort and hard work Nigel. I think the course is awesome . Do you know if they have decided on amount of laps yet?
  10. As always on the hub I wonder how many guys giving advice telling htfu etc have actually ridden a xco.Gap jumps,rock gardens,doubles no problem on your own. Throw in 50 okes all trying to hit that double at the same time,different story.Imagine if in a effort to save time in the downhill they let 5 guys off at once.
  11. Only if you a seller.
  12. Dealers don't even know,I've heard from some its gold and others its white.
  13. Epic is 105K ltd burry epic 110K.I think a lot of guys will be holding on to their bikes.Seen a run at my lbs on 2013 bikes,people seem so be scared of the huge increases coming.
  14. Yes http://velonews.competitor.com/2012/03/news/it-works-we-test-sram-red-backwards-compatibility_209270
  15. Pornstar is Blackspade. Any chance we can see a pic of bike on scale when build is done?
  16. We currently have 30-35 people here in Cape Town on the transplant list.Most are under 45 years old.Most will tell you they exercised while sick and then just started getting worse over a period of time and YES some even just went to gym while sick.We do 12-15 transplants a year.You do the maths.Some are waiting for over a year for a heart.Some on the list unfortunately won't make it.Around 2 on the list if they can afford will get a artificial heart. Bottom line is,you want to take a chance?
  17. Please tell me what car offers life time warrenty even for 1st time owners?And most bike manufacturers don't offer life time any more.Most only offer 5 years.
  18. The bike manufactures are not stupid guys.They know this is going on.Now days when you fill out a warrenty form they will ask you for proof of purchase and your ID.All manufacturers have warranty only on original owner,that is why when you sell second hand you have such a HUGE price drop.I see in classifieds a lot of bikes going for huge amounts.Bottom line is ,second hand=NO WARRANTY.I know there will be guys that will chirp in how they got it right but those days are ending.
  19. Anyone hear anything?I can't see this happening until CSA and PPA sort things out.No matter what your opinion is,if you are a licensed rider you can only ride in sactioned events. I didn't take part in winter league but spoke to a lot of guys who did and EVERYONE said what a great job CCC did. What about it CCC?How about organising spring league,so what if it clashes with PPA.Don't look like many road rides in PPA calender any way.I heard that the block on races in southern peninsula is still on. There Can of worms has been opened. SB
  20. Best you email head office again and ask them to keep their local agents up to date.
  21. I thought xx1 bcd of 76 is shared with no other chainring.Can you post a link to the rotor ring that will fit 76 bcd.
  22. Sorry I find it hard to get exited about this.MTN is basically a euro team with a few Saffa's on the bus.If you want support at least let the saffas ride.I think there is more support for Orica and shimano at the moment.
  23. PPA has got some legal bills to pay.
  24. How long does he take and price Jacob?
