  1. Ask Titusti,got the scars to prove it
  2. Can't be me,i walk up Camps bay drive
  3. What year and colour is the frame?
  4. You show me yours and i'll show you mine
  5. Fulcrum
  6. What spokes are been used on Tokens wheels?Find many manufacturers save by using cheap crap spokes.
  7. I see you based in WC even more so XT.Have a huge problem of spokes,nipples,rim binding with the mavic wheels here at the sea making it difficult to true. stringbean2008-12-23 23:34:11
  8. XT no question is better.I think Mavic make crap wheels,this is based on how many come in for repairs at my lbs.Along with a distributor that hasn't got any spares i would stick with shimano.DT make good wheels but expensive.Like thier hubs,virtually bombproof.Just go to your LBS and ask them which wheel they work on the most
  9. Longest route?
  10. About Oak Valley,can you just pitch up and ride or do have to book?How much and how many routes and how long?
  11. Toffee... if I get original proof of purchase with second hand bike, I get warranty too... Don't count on it.most bike shops remember and have records of who they sold bikes to and who the original owner is.
  12. While on the subject when last did you check what the warranty on your frame was.I say this because in the last year a lot of companies have dropped the lifetime warranty and not told the buyer.Was shocked to hear a company like Pinarello(BIG BUCKS FOR BIKE)has only a 2 year warranty.Cannondale,Spez and Giant are one of the few who still give lifetime.
  13. Frame boet,read
  14. Imagine if they did pay postage on all warranties only to find the bike had been in a crash or you the second owner or bike is out of warranty.Just covering themselves i think.
  15. Why didn't you go through the shop you bought the bike from?
  16. Standard practice boet.They want to make sure it's their fault and not yours.They want to make sure you were not in a crash etc.Material and location means nothing to a warranty.If i hit my chainstay hard enough with a hammer it will break at the weld.Standard practice anyway,you pay for frame to get to them,they pay for new one to get to you.
  17. Table mountain is perfect for epic training,did 90% of training for last years epic on TM.Do group rides every weekend from tableview to TM,as well as road rides.PM me when you get here,we have a epic training group going and we can go do the day 1 timetrial route together
  18. Have just about every tech file that can be downloaded about bikes on my laptop.Every shop should have them.
  19. Turn the brainfade to soft,then pump the shock.
  20. 100-105psi for the rear
  21. Is the rear shock fox or Spez?
  22. what year is your rear shock?How much do you weigh with yor cycling kit on?
  23. Hey what's the size of the back-end of that tandem,looks a bit small for Lourens.That seatpost must be about 1 meter long.Makes their win even more impressive .
  24. Cycles Direct have a 'coffee shop ride' every Sat and Sun morning leaving Tableview robots 6h30
  25. Daniel Schmiesser,Craig Gerber and Koosie Laubscher are MACHINES.
